"As The World Turns" was airing on CBS the afternoon of November 22, 1963, when Walter Cronkite broke in to tell the nation that President Kennedy had been shot. Coverage then went back to the soap opera, but not for long. Charles Osgood reports on how America learned of the shooting of a president. The people who lived through November 22, 1963 remember the moment - where they were, what they were doing - when the news of President Kennedy's death came. The nation and world stopped and came together to mourn the president. pic.twitter.com/UQrZslGVNe — JFK Library (@JFKLibrary) November 22, 2021 It was a couple years before I was born, but I was named after JFK so I’m a strident of that day and his life. I just wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving. Be well. 🙏🏼 — JF 🇵🇭🇺🇸🌊 (@JFPerseveranda) November 22, 2021

I can't say "I'm surprised." This is America; what do you expect. My question is, "Did this happen in Alabama or Los Angeles?" That's why I keep telling my girls to practice judo so they don't forget what they've already learned.  If they throw someone on the pavement with Ippon Seoi Nage and the guy cracks his skull, it's all in self-defense and it's the other guy's damn fault!  Don't forget the sidekicks, knees and elbows.  Gotta teach these hillbillies some Asian culture.

✨ Frankenstein for 'Best Picture.' It's that good. Posted on November 13, 2025 And yes, I'm a big Oscar Isaac fan. I won't get into it so as not to ruin the movie for those who haven't watched it. But that may be the best Frankenstein film to date. Guillermo Del Toro is just awesome (if you haven't watched any of his other films). Written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, FRANKENSTEIN is on Netflix November 7. Starring Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Felix Kammerer, with Charles Dance, and Christoph Waltz. Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro adapts Mary Shelley’s classic tale of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant but egotistical scientist who brings a creature to life in a monstrous experiment that ultimately leads to the undoing of both the creator and his tragic creation.
