Rain, rain go away, come again Labor Day
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain, but the rain in Arkansas falls wherever it wants, and for as long as it wants. As I write this, apparently it wants to rain for a long, long time.
Steve Barnes
And the winner: Alan Alda
Alan Alda needs no introduction, so therefore we needlessly introduce him as the actor who came to global fame as Hawkeye, one of the Army surgeons in the long-running TV show "M*A*S*H," not to mention scads of other roles in memorable motion pictures. He has a cameo role in a new production, so we read, a cable mini-series entitled "The Four Seasons," essentially an update, or remake, of the delightful movie of the same name in which he co-starred 44 years ago.

Since the Revolutionary War, almost 1.2 million Americans have died in service to the United States. Ironically, more than 600,000 died fighting fellow Americans during the Civil War. It’s from the aftermath of that war we have Memorial Day, which we mark on Monday. A solemn day, we’ve turned it into a celebration of summer beginning making it more about picnics and hitting the lakes than ing the dead whose sacrifices made such festivities possible.
Much is being made, understandably, about Joe Biden’s cognitive decline in the final years of his tenure. Biden’s deficits in reasoning and recall were appalling evident in his debate, last summer, with the man he had defeated almost four years earlier, the man whose return to the White House arguably was ensured by the incumbent’s on-air fumbling. Almost as troubling, perhaps more so, was the resolve of so many in his immediate family and his staff and key Democrats in and out of government who had close with Biden, to paper over his condition. Flat-out denials, many times. Lies.
