5.31.17 Bee-otch of the Day: the news media

It looks like Kathy Griffin's career - at least to some - has been beheaded.

A day after a picture of her holding a bloodied mannequin head of Drumpf surfaced on the web, CNN announced that the comedienne will not be returning to co-host their New Years Eve special this year with Anderson Cooper. She had been co-hosting the special since 2007. It is expected that Richard Quest will be taking over Griffin's role this year.

Needless to say, the de facto president bitched and moaned today that the picture scared his son Barron into thinking that his father's head was decapitated for real. Of course, Griffin did apologize for the picture, which was shot by the controversial Tyler Shields.

Even though Drumpf's approval rating is sitting at a putrid 41%, the news media sure loves to bow to him. To me, of the big three cable news channels - the other two being MSNBC and Fox News Channel - CNN had seemed to be the last of the networks to be bowing hard to the right. In recent months, MSNBC had been hiring more and more right-leaning hosts like Greta Van Susteren and Hugh Hewlett. The once-left-leaning channel - whose slogan was once "Lean Forward" - is now down to two lefties: Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell. One good reason for MSNBC's fall from grace could be due to its parent, Comcast trying to convince the Republican-led government to wipe away net neutrality laws. It's also worth noting that NBC has been overhyping Megyn Kelly's new Sunday night show, which will air opposite CBS's stalwart 60 Minutes.

It reminds me of three words mentioned in many-a-Looney Tune.

But of course, my head slams on my laptop knowing that Jenna Bush Hagar is STILL at NBC News despite the fact that her father was the worst president of my lifetime. Every time I see her on TV, I want to change the channel. Hell, I wonder sometimes why the HELL I watch Today from time to time. I need to watch CBS This Morning more since there's less fluff and old yenta bullshit on that show.

Speaking of CBS, they let go Scott Pelley, who had been hosting the CBS Evening News for six years. Despite some gains over the past several years, the show still trails NBC and ABC in the 6:30 news race. He will continue to contribute to 60 Minutes though at the moment, Anthony Mason will be the interim host of the Evening News. For years, the show had been crapped on in the ratings, especially after Walter Cronkite retired. Mason is the fifth anchor for the show since then. As for NBC, they've only had three anchors since 1981 and ABC has had six for their World News Tonight.

Then again, the once-treasured 6:30 news just isn't the same. The days of good, hard news is gone thanks to the big networks bowing to the Repukes and their advertisers. I see plenty of drug ads and pro-"let's destroy the Earth" ads during the news. Right now, I'm watching The Big Picture with Thom Hartmann on RT America. He's arguing with two guys - one from Newsmax - about how we need single payer health care in this country. He ended the show by saying that the Great Barrier Reef has been bleached to the point that it cannot be repaired, proof that extinction is well under way thanks to Global Warming. Folks, this is NOT what the news is covering, and it's because of the fact that they're asskissing the right. True, RT is owned by the Russians (the only advertising I see on there is from Aeroflot Airlines), but sometimes, no advertising can lead to better - and less biased - news.

But thanks to the media's love of Drumpf, we're stuck with Ryan Seacrest for New Years.

5.30.17 Bee-otch of the Day: WGRD


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

Name: WGRD
Age: 55
Occupaton: rock station
Last Seen: Grand Rapids
Bee-otched For: putting pineapple on a meat lover's pizza

For the past 15 years, I've had a trusty alarm clock radio.

Thanks to it, I've never been late to virtually anything, especially work. But on Sunday morning, I thought it was starting to malfunction.

When my alarm went off at 8 a.m. It was playing "We Are The Champions" by Queen. However, my radio's set to WGRD, which usually doesn't play them. I thought my alarm was set on 96.9 WLAV, one station over.

Then, the top of the hour ID hit. Yes, it was GRD.

I was thinking that it was just a computer error, but it wasn't. GRD is now playing more SHITTY classic rock, mixed in with the new stuff they play! That's right! If you're into bands such as Stone Sour, Avenged Sevenfold, Papa Roach and Metallica, you're now gonna have to sit through Queen, ZZ Top, Def Leppard, Boston and those lovable Confederate flag-waving rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd.

One highlight, however is that they're now playing more Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd and Jimi Hendrix, three bands I don't mind hearing on an active rock station. Prior to the changes, they were already playing Aerosmith, Ozzy Osbourne/Black Sabbath, Dio, Motley Crue and other bands that fit the active rock format to a tee. But when I heard "Godzilla" this weekend on GRD, I wanted to smack my head against the table.

So why all the butt rock all the sudden? It could be one simple thing: ratings. GRD has lost about 30% of its listeners since last Summer. Then again, a lot of it might be due to Zane's absence from the Free Beer and Hot Wings Show, but then again, not a lot of people have crossed over to his new station, WBBL either. As a matter of fact, BBL is Grand Rapids' lowest-rated FM station, mainly because of the Huge Retard that stinks up afternoons on that station.

Look, if I want to hear Lynyrd Skynyrd - a band I absolutely HATE because it's the fucking polack asshole who destroyed my family's favorite band - I would listen to either WLAV or 101.3 The Brew, NOT WGRD. Then again, this is a station owned by Townsquare Media, a company that is known for making assholic mistakes. Hell, I was already so pissed off Sunday afternoon because of the amount of commercials that local Grand Rapids radio plays that I got my Pandora running.

Personally, if WGRD's listeners keep note of their new-found butt rock direction, the ratings will keep going down. I think Townsquare corporate made this decision simply because WGRD really doesn't have a programming director. The station's programming decisions are made at Townsquare HQ in Greenwich, CT.

If only we can resurrect pre-Hanlon WKLQ.

5.25.17 Bee-otch of the Day: Greg Gianforte


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------



Name: Greg Gianforte
Age: 56
Occupation: Congressman nominee
Last Seen: Montana
Bee-otched For: turning his campaign into the WWE



--
Montana is a state where not a whole lot happens.

There's a lot of cows and farms, plus mountains and stuff and that's about it.

And asshole rich people who want to be Congressmen.

Greg Gianforte is a wealthy CEO who founded RightNow Technologies, which helps companies interact with customers. He sold the company in 2011 for $1.5 billion. Not shabby for a company based in Bozeman, MT, pop. 43,000.

With his wealth and power, Gianforte is no stranger to politics. He unsuccessfully ran for governor in Montana last year and now, he's running for Congress in a runoff election. The previous Congressman in that state's at-large district, Ryan Zinke is now the Secretary of the Interior. He's running against Democrat Rob Quist, a well-known musician whose music was covered by many artists including Loretta Lynn. Gianforte is an outspoken Christian who is against Planned Parenthood, the Affordable Care Act, same-sex marriage, raising the minimum wage and the legalization of marijuana. He even thinks that the Earth is only 10,000 years old.

And apparently, he's against being nice to reporters.

Yesterday, Gianforte was charged with misdemeanor assault for body slamming Ben Jacobs, a reporter for Britain's The Guardian newspaper. Jacobs asked Gianforte a question about the Republican replacement for the ACA and well, things got ugly in an instant.

Since Gianforte's body slamming incident, several newspapers in Montana have reversed their endorsement of him, though his campaign has raised an additional $100,000 in one day.

The election was held today and the results are expected to be tallied by tomorrow. Montana has seen seeing a lot of Democrats win in local and state levels in recent years, even though most of them tend to be quite conservative. Quist, however, supports the ACA, raising taxes on the wealthy and women's rights unlike the wealthy Gianforte.

If Gianforte was smart, he'd step down from running for Congress. The fact that Drumpf supports him is a red flag for his campaign. Even worse, a lot of Jebus freaks have forgiven him for his stupidity. It's funny that he's against a lot of stuff that The Bible doesn't talk about (homosexuality and helping women in need), but, well, he's a kook.

If he's elected, God help us all.

5.24.17 Bee-otch of the Day: Donald Trump


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

Name: Donald Trump
Age: 70
Occupation: pussy grabber
Last Seen: schmoozing with the Pope
Bee-otched For: being your typical Repuke politician



--
On Friday night, Stephen Colbert announced that Drumpf was going to be out of the country.

His response: "We got the country to ourselves!"

But even when he's away, he's making new laws that none of us should want or deserve.

Yesterday, Drumpf released his new budget, entitled "A New Foundation For American Greatness". The military will get a massive increase, but Medicaid, the Department of Labor, State and Federal Aid, HUD, Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency will get massive cuts. What might be most-upsetting for us Michiganders is that Drumpf's budget will eliminate 97% of the yearly funding for our Great Lakes. Of course, our beloved governor won't do much to stop Drumpf's cuts since he's pretty much in bed with Nestle and allowed the water disaster in Flint to occur.

Other cuts in the Drumpf budget include the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the National Endowment for the Arts and the Chemical Safety Board, which may all be eliminated altogether.

It's funny that Drumpf was out there hobnobbing with the Pope. If I were the Pontiff, I'd be telling him how much of a prick he is. Hell, I doubt if Jesus himself would approve of slashing aid for poor so we can build more scud missiles.

But that's reality. We're stuck with a president we didn't elect, but hey! He's on the road to impeachment! With Mike Flynn pleading the fizzith, Drumpf's days as prez might be coming to an end. Hell, Alec Baldwin was singing "Hallelujah" on SNL last weekend, so that might be a sign.

Look, we don't need to keep throwing missiles and money away. Personally, I'd rather have clean water over having bombs thrown at people wearing burkas. What if Line 5 bursts in the Straits of Mackinac? We'd have a nasty mess. I think as long as this state stays red, we should be scared. But, I think the revolution is starting soon.

Drumpf might be away, but we're still stuck in the asylum, for now.

5.23.17 Bee-otch of the Day: George W. Bush


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------



Name: George W. Bush
Age: 70
Occupation: Bob Ross wannabe
Last Seen: somewhere in Texas
Bee-otched For: helping to cause the Manchester Massacre



--
Last night, thousands of young girls were moving Side to Side to Break Free after hearing a few Bang Bangs at Manchester Arena in England.

During an Ariana Grande concert at England's second-largest arena, 21,000 screaming fans rushed to get out after several explosions were made. The death toll stands at 22 while there were some 59 injuries. Because of this, Grande has canceled the rest of her world tour out of respect of the grieving families.

Not long after the explosions, Isis claimed responsibility for the event. Police have arrested a 23-year-old English male from Libyan parents in connection to the attacks.

Yep! Good 'ol Isis. Since the Iraq War, they have turned once-peaceful nations such as England and France into places that some might have to think twice about visiting. Of course, Grande is an American singer, so some should wonder if we're next.

But if there's one man to blame for all this, it's none other than 43 himself, Dubya.

Before he started shooting missiles into Iraq, that country was actually a decent place to live. But because of lies about weapons of mass destruction, he turned it into a burned-out hellhole. Some of the people revolted and created Isis to punish the Western world. True, Dubya should have been thrown in jail for war crimes, but fellow Repukes and milquetoast Democrats like Nancy Pelosi stopped that from happening. Thankfully, Obama came in, killed Osama and pulled us out of Iraq.

But sadly, the damage was done.

True, we need to worry about Isis, especially before they attack us. Sadly, that might mean *ugh* World War III. And the question is, do we trust Drumpf with handling war, especially with the alleged secrets he shared with Russia? Will Isis strike us first and then we attack them back?

Yes, we can wonder, but the reality is, the man responsible for all this is still free. Hell, last week, he was photobombing a live broadcast of a Rangers baseball game. The truth is, he needs to go to jail for murdering 4,000 + soldiers and fucking up the lives of thousands more. But as long as we elect the wrong people, it'll never happen. Oh, well, only God can judge him.

In the end, our thoughts go out to the thousands of people who attended the concert and especially to those killed or injured in Manchester. As long as we keep them in our thoughts, there will never be a light that will never go out.

5.22.17 Bee-otch of the Day: Big Pharma


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.

-------



Name: Big Pharma
Age: hundreds
Occupation: drugmakers of the world
Last Seen; everywhere
Bee-otched For: losing another one



--
Side effects of today's Bee-otch of the Day don't include nausea, diarrhea, upset stomach, seizures, dry mouth, trouble swallowing, headaches, constipation, excessive farting, insomnia or yawning. You won't need to consult your doctor if any of these happen, though after reading this, you might be smacking your head on a table. Then, if you end up with bleeding on the brain, please call 911 immediately.
Five days after the shocking announcement of his death, fans are still upset over the passing of legendary rock singer Chris Cornell (seen above). The lead singer of Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog and Audioslave was found dead in a hotel bedroom at the MGM Grand in Detroit, just hours after a show at that city's Fox Theatre. The 52-year-old had a rope around his neck. Despite being a successful artist, his fans wondered for days why he would ever want to end his life at such an early age.

Now, his widow, Vicki is claiming that the rocker's dependence on a drug triggered his death.

Cornell's toxicology tests are probably weeks from being revealed, but according to her, he was taking the anti-anxiety drug Ativan, whose side effects include sedation, dizziness and unsteadiness. Rumor has it that Cornell's bodyguard handed him the wrong dosage of the medicine and the singer had trouble throughout his performance. An overdose of the medicine can lead to suicidal thoughts, like many antidepressants. Cornell had been candid about his problems with anxiety and depression, which he's dealt with since his childhood years.

I, like Cornell have anxiety issues myself, especially since I collapsed at O'Haire Airport in Chicago 10 years ago. Starting six years ago, I started getting panic attacks and have seen a few doctors about it. Each one prescribed me antidepressants. The first one prescribed me Celexa and then I weened myself off it because I thought my panic attacks were because of ear problems. It wasn't. Then I saw a doctor who put me on Zoloft. The side effects kicked my ass. Now, I'm back on Celexa.

However, when I take medicines, I worry about side effects. What if I miss a dosage? What if I drink a lot of alcohol? What if I get a dizzy spell and collapse again?

I think there should be more done in the fight for mental health, and it's sad that because of Drumpf, we're going backward and not forward. Just give Big Pharma a few bucks and bam! you get some pills that make you feel somewhat better, but sadly, you might lose some sleep, spend some time on the crapper and worse case scenario, you'll end up in a bathroom with a rope around your neck.  Normally, you could say "ask your doctor", but sadly, they do a good job of saying what Big Pharma wants them to say. If America went with a single payer system like most nations have, this shit wouldn't happen.

Question is, will the media cover the death of Cornell much more than just a 30-second blurb on the Nightly News? Doubt it. The reason why is because guess who funds the 6:30 news? Yep! Big Pharma. They're the ones who force NBC, CBS and ABC to air IBS ads while you're trying to eat dinner. Let's also not forget that one reason why the 6:30 news doesn't talk much about Global Warming is because of the stupid pro-fracking ads that air during the stopsets. Money talks, which is why I'm starting to watch RT America more often.

Instead of asking our doctors, we need to ask our politicians.

5.18.17 Hero of the Day: Chris Cornell


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.


A SPECIAL HERO OF THE DAY!
-------


Name: Chris Cornell
Age: was 52
Occupation: rock legend
Last Seen: Detroit
Awarded For: being a true rock legend

--
Tonight, I should be giving the Bee-otch of the Day to the late Roger Ailes, the founder of the Fox News Channel.

Yes, he brainwashed millions of people into thinking that tabloid news is real and he harassed several women during his run at FNC. But the truth is, I want to honor a man who had a positive impact on a lot of rock fans.

Christopher John Boyle was a young loner who listened to old Beatles albums while living in a sea of anxiety and depression. But, it built his love of rock. At the age of 20, Chris - who had adopted his mother's surname of Cornell - formed the band that eventually became Soundgarden. The group released several EPs in the late 80s until releasing their major label debut in 1991, "Badmotorfinger". Three singles were released from the album including "Rusty Cage", a tune later covered by the Man in Black himself, Johnny Cash. "Outshined" became a rock radio hit while the video for "Jesus Christ Pose" was banned from MTV for the perception that it was anti-Christian.

That same year, Cornell formed Temple of the Dog with members of Mother Love Bone, a band whose singer, Andrew Wood died a year later from a heroin overdose. Their self-titled album produced the hits "Say Hello 2 Heaven" and "Hunger Strike", all songs dedicated to Wood. Of course, the remaining members of the band are still together as Pearl Jam.

However, 1994's "Superunknown" was their breakout success. "Black Hole Sun" became the biggest hit for the band, even invading top 40 pop radio. "Spoonman" and "Fell On Black Days" were also huge rock hits. Two years later, the band gave us "Down On the Upside" which produced hits such as "Burden On My Hand" and "Pretty Noose".

Sadly, Soundgarden originally disbanded in 1997 and Cornell went solo. He had a few hits, including "Can't Change Me" and "Sunshower". He even sang the theme to a James Bond movie,  But, he decided to get into another band.

In 2001, Cornell joined the three non-Zach de la Rocha members of Rage Against the Machine to form Audioslave. The group released three albums and several hit singles such as "Cochise", "Show Me How To Live", "Like a Stone" and "Be Yourself". They disbanded in 2006 and reformed just this past year.

Cornell once again went back to his solo career, even performing the theme to the James Bond film "Casino Royale", "You Know My Name". However in 2010, Cornell announced that "school was back in session" and Soundgarden had reformed after a 13-year hiatus. "King Animal" was released in 2012 with the hits "Been Away Too Long" and "By Crooked Steps". In 2015, he scored an unexpected rock hit with country music's Zac Brown Band with "Heavy is the Head".

Cornell had been touring with Soundgarden and played Detroit's Fox Theatre last night. Not long after the show, his body was found with a rope around his neck. Chris Cornell was 52 years old.

What might be sad is that of the "big four" Seattle grunge bands of the early 90s - Soundgarden, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam - only Pearl Jam is the only band whose lead singer is still alive. What might be the saddest of all is the fact that Cornell left behind a wife and three children, aged 17, 13 and 12.

So, what caused a man who a successful music career, three beloved bands, the honor of performing a theme to a James Bond movie and a song re-recorded by Johnny Cash to end it all? True, he battled drug problems and depression in the past, but in reality, time will only tell. He had it all, but still, he accomplished more in 52 years than most will do in their lifetime.

Thanks, Chris. Say hello to Heaven for us.

5.17.17 Bee-otch of the Day: Donald Trump


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.


-------


Name: Donald Trump
Age: 70
Occupation: village idiot
Last Seen: Washington, DC
Bee-otched For: seeing the beginning of the end

--
Could this be the end of Drumpf as we know it?

True, it sounds nice, but then again, the words "President Pence" don't sound nice, either.

Yesterday, Robert Mueller was brought in as the new lead of the probe regarding Drumpf and Russia. This after the de facto president fired James Comey as head of the FBI because he refused to end the witchhunt into his involvement in Russia's decision to influence the 2016 presidential election. 


To many, this is Watergate all over again. The fact that Russia played so much influence in the 2016 election is baffling to some, but then again, this could end Drumpf's oligarchy for the people of the United States. Mueller's entrance into this investigation is the bipartisan answer that the Democrats - and some Republicans - want.

Whether or not this will remove Drumpf from the White House is anyone's guess, but this could be the event of the year. If he's impeached, he'll join Bill Clinton and Andrew Johnson, though neither president made it to the Senate stage.

Of course, it'll be cool to see Drumpf rot. Remember that speech he made, telling Detroit's automakers that if they were to move jobs to Mexico that he would tax the cars so high that Americans couldn't afford them? Well, Ford announced yesterday that they were canning 1,200 American workers. Plus, the Dow dropped 373 points today. I look at 28th St. here in Grand Rapids with the losses of several businesses. MC Sports: gone. Family Christian Stores: gone. Sears at Woodland Mall: gone. Fox Jewelers: going out of business. BD's Mongolian Grill: closed on Monday. And so on. Sadly, Drumpf's politics will not save those jobs.

But kicking the ruthless billionaire out of the White House is a step in the right direction.

5.16.17 Bee-otch of the Day: KAVV


Bee-otch of the Day honors are awarded Monday through Thursday, Bee-otch of the Week is awarded Friday on Chuck69.com.


-------


Name: KAVV-FM
Age: 34
Occupation: country music station
Last Seen: Benson, AZ
Bee-otched For: attracting the wrong people

--
When a radio station airs public service announcements - or PSAs - they are going the community good. Most PSAs deal with issues such as drunk driving, addictions, respecting the environment and preventing cyberbullying.

But in the case of southeast Arizona classic country radio station KAVV 97.7 The Cave, how to stop the authorities from throwing you in jail for owning kiddie porn is just as important.

A Tucson TV station revealed that KAVV had been airing a 60-second PSA for two years telling their listeners how to handle child pornography. The PSA was voiced by station owner and self-proclaimed "CAVE MANager" Paul Lotsof. In the spot, Lotsof tells listeners not to own paper pictures or films and not to store the images on your computer, but rather on an external hard drive.

In an interview, Lotsof claims that he's not promoting child porn, but rather, is against the steep penalties those caught with with it get. In the state of Arizona, one who is caught with ONE PICTURE of child porn will get ten years in prison. One person caught with at least 20 images of kiddie porn is now serving 200 years in prison. Because of the station being caught airing the PSA, some advertisers have pulled their ads from the station and at least one of their jocks, "Shotgun Sherri" has quit the station because of the backlash.

Cochise County Sheriff's Department is now looking into the station's PSA and the FCC has been notified as well.

KAVV broadcasts from Benson, AZ, a small town of 5,000 about 45 miles southeast of Tucson. The station's 6,000 watts narrowly kisses Tucson and can be heard south to the Mexican border. The Cave's studio is an old, dilapidated trailer nicknamed "The Cave Eyesore" that's ironically next door to a daycare center.

You know, it's nice when a radio station takes a stance on issues that we all face. But stopping the cops from throwing you in jail for kiddie porn? STUPID. I'm for locally-owned stations, but Paul Lotsof is a very ironic name because he has "Lotsof" shit.

Right now, the FCC is looking into fining Stephen Colbert because of his 'cock holster' joke regarding Drumpf. If they fine Colbert while KAVV stays on the air, it's a sign that they need to change. NOW. Anybody who defends something as DISGUSTING as child porn should not own a radio station. Not only that, but make his employees work in a shitty old trailer, either.

"The Cave" is an appropriate name for a radio station, since that's where their listeners live.

--

After six seasons on the air, Last Man Standing has fallen.


ABC has canceled the show, which starred Tim Allen as a conservative man who was an executive at a sporting goods company. The show was ABC's second-most-popular sitcom with six million viewers a week. But according to the network, the show was canned because the contract between ABC and show producer 20th Century Fox had expired and ABC would have had to start footing the series' cost.

But some say that LMS was canned because of bigger reasons. Several months ago on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Allen, a devout Republican proclaimed that "being a Republican in Hollywood was like 1930s Germany. You gotta be real careful around here, you know. You’ll get beat up if you don’t believe what everybody believes." Allen was also well-known for cracking jokes about President Obama on LMS such as this gem where he claimed that his first job was indeed, President of the United States. Of course, Obama was a senator and lawyer before becoming POTUS in 2009. Tim on the other hand? Well, see that mugshot of him right above? Before he got into comedy, he was a drug dealer who got busted with a pound-and-a-half with cocaine. He ended up spending two years and four months in jail. The fact that he was busted with a DUI in 1997 didn't help matters, either.

I also grimace at the fact that he had fellow car nut and hack Jay Leno on his show as a semi-regular. I love the fact that they were also cracking anti-Obama jokes on the program. Ah, yes, Jay Leno. The asshole who fucked over David Letterman from hosting The Tonight Show and later fucked Conan O'Brien out of that position. Plus, the fact that he stole a lot of material from other comedians, even stealing Stuttering John Melendez from Howard Stern.

Yes, the right is fuming that Last Man Standing is gone, but the truth is, six years for a sitcom is a good run. I'll betcha that Mr. Dick will make a ton of dough from reruns of the show like he does with Home Improvement. Plus, there's Buzz Lightyear and Pure Michigan ads. He won't be hurting. Plus, I cringe at the fact that he's an asshole in real life. Years ago, a family member of mine told me that when he was in Leland, the small fishing village not far from Traverse City, she saw Tim Allen exiting a store and he ran as fast as he could to his car so he wouldn't talk to people. Yes, he's THAT down to Earth.

Maybe when Drumpf takes away peoples' houses and jobs, his fans won't be laughing at Tim Allen anymore.
