LOL With a Conservative
Welcome to a rarity in our country–a conservative comedian! Brad Stine makes his first appearance in traditional Virginia, where he wows the audience with his integrity, intelligence and a hilarious brand of conservative comedy. Stine tells the crowd, “You hunt, you fish and you don’t apologize for it. I love that about you people. That’s America. Not a bunch of people lockstep with the politically correct: Oh, don’t shoot the animals, they might get their feelings hurt.” Please return to LOL next Tuesday for another journey through the lighter side of life. — The Wickel

Go! Girl! Go! — Treinta y Cuatro
Joan Crawford in the racy MGM movie Dance, Fools, Dance, made in 1931, ahead of the Production Code being enacted. Although she had previously admonished colleagues not to have affairs with their leading men until they appeared in three films together, Crawford violated her own rule by hooking up with her Dance, Fools, Dance co-star Clark Gable, even though this was only their second movie. Afterward, she acknowledged she had to eat her own words, but said they tasted sweet.
