RIP Commodore Decker. He was a good actor . He even had his own TV show for a time. In case anyone ask The Commodor Decker Charater was the only survivor of the Attack on the USS Constelleation in the Star Trek Episode "The Doomsday Machine" . He went insane after his crew beamed down to the third planet just before it was destroyed by the Doomsday MAchine.

Ah yes, The Doomsday Machine. The only power in the universe capable of gobbling up whole planets faster than liberalism.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin

Windom was a great character actor.

RIP, Mr. Windom.


BTW-

I just learned singer-songwriter Scott McKenzie died Saturday morning.  He was a great guy.  His biggest hit was "San Francisco (Be Sure To Wear Flowers In your Hair)".

Me too ! And for me his most indentifiable role.
There were only two options for gender. At last count there are at least 12, according to libs. By that standard, I'm a male lesbian.
