QUOTABLES!

These things gotta happen every five years or so, ten years. Helps to get rid of the bad blood.

"People are saying" this speech rocked. I don't care about party, religion, color, race, creed. None of it. I do care about a President that is hopeful and positively buoys our mood. I was more choked up during this speech than when RUDY got into NOTRE DAME. I was upset that OBAMA didn't announce his new hotel... How will NETFLIX's very aggressive (and so far stellar) ORIGINALS release tempo change the way networks debut new shows?... The killer TV app is a button that simply says "show me something that doesn't depress me"... Angry and mean aren't the same things. I'm not big on mean... You're in PALM BEACH. Get stung by a jellyfish near MAR-A-LAGO. Who you gonna call?... APPLE AIRPODS are super slick and cool. But they disconnect constantly. Whereas my POWERBEATS 3 WIRELESS by BEATS BY DRE never do. Both owned by Apple. Anyone else?... The egregious friend shout-out did not start on TWITTER. It started at confirmation hearings... "OK GOOGLE"... WIKILEAKS' commentary on top of their leaks makes it illegitimate to me... ROY NEARY knew when to leave... Essential coverage from the first fashion shows of 2017 in our new REDEF FashionSET: reviews, London menswear designers on their inspirations, backstage scenes, and street style roundups... Big Media is beginning to look like STAR WARS' GALACTIC EMPIRE. Rather than try something new, most incumbents are focused on doing the same thing they've always done, just bigger. Scale matters, but it wasn't sufficient to stop the REBEL ALLIANCE. HOLLYWOOD should take note... Happy Birthday to MATT MULLENWEG, SAUL HANSELL, DAN ROSEN, and SETH HABERMAN
