Have some Ollie Fries and and Ollie Burger lately? Iâm a little young, so Ollieâs Trolleyâs heyday was a bit a bit before my time⦠but we have one here in Washington that Iâve been to a few times. But I didnât know the history behind Ollie Gleichenhaus, so [do read this account of his stunted rise](. And if youâre in Louisville, Cincinnati, or Washington, do drop by and have an Ollie burger. The writer, Keith Pandolfi, is right when he says: âEating an Ollieburger is like having a McCormick spice warehouse explode in your mouth. Thereâs a magic mingling of oregano and garlic, cumin, rosemary, and Old Bay â an Italian pot roast and a Maryland crab boil all in one.â
Don't destroy the Supreme Court to save it from Trump. Thatâs what friend of the newsletter Michael Graham argues [in a CBS opinion column]( âDemocratic talk about expanding the Supreme Court to 11 or 15 members when they eventually take power in the future so they can appoint liberal justices and take back the majority would be far more damaging to the judiciary than any pick Trump would ever make. â
The Reds are playing really good baseball. Despite their terrible start to the 2018 campaign, a new manager has the Reds playing really quite well. Theyâll face off against my Indians later in the month, but I have to point this out: [They recently hit two grand slams in a week](. And by âtheyâ I mean Reds pitchers.
What is John Daly up to? Causing trouble, as usual. Seems he dropped out of a tournament because he couldnât get a golf cart use waiver. Why? Golf Week [reports]( "Heâd asked for wheels owing to a knee injury he suffered while dodging a car that struck his RV in the parking lot of an Augusta Hooters..."
Has Animal House aged well? Not really, [according to Michael Aronson]( head of the Cinema Studies Department at the University of Oregon, where the movie was filmed. âThe problem is the film is bad, really bad⦠It might be fondly remembered if you havenât watched it in 30 years, but Animal House is awful; wildly misogynist, homophobic, and racist.â Aronson concludes: âProbably itâs best to forget Animal House.â Did you say âforget Animal House?â Nothing is forgotten until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell, no!
Everything the Mouse owns. [This map]( of every company Disney owns is insane.
