It’s funny, I was actually thinking about him the other day – that whole drunken antisemitism seems to have driven him underground. And forget Jeb Bush – whatever happened to Neil Bush? ---

> [@kunilou](#): > > Michael Brown > > I saw him, too, on Fox News (where else?) I had to stop and watch because I couldn’t believe even Fox news would look to Michael Brown for expert commentary on a hurricane. He is an occasional substitute talk radio host in Denver. I heard him say once while talking about Iraq “I sometimes think that we should have just nuked Bagdhad instead.” His right wing but not stupid cohost was left speechless and they had to go to commercial. I can’t believe we had the equivalent of the blowhard at the corner pub in charge of FEMA. ---

Interesting to have two faded stars working as a comedic pair on a kid’s show.) I thought maybe they were paired up on Spongebob because they were in McHale’s Navy together back in the 60s. ---

Why not? We elected one for president. Twice. Tim Conway still pops up every now and then, I think I recently saw him on some talk show with Carol Burnett around the time Harvey Corman passed away. Oliver North, now there’s 15 minutes of fame long passed. I’m suprised he hasn’t hosted a reality show on VH1. ---

Tabitha Soren and another MTV thing. I can’t remember her name, she was a very young singer songwriter. I do remember her quote they used to play a lot. “Cows make milk and I make music” Is she still making music? ---

> [@CAT\_1](#): > > “Leather Tuscadero” (Suzi Quatro) > And “Pinky Tuscadero” (?) According to Wikipedia, re: Suzi Quatro: "In December 2005, a documentary chronicling Quatro’s life and career, titled “Naked under leather” and directed by former Runaway Victory Tischler Blue appeared. In February 2006, Quatro released “Back To the Drive”, produced by Sweet guitarist Andy Scott. The album’s title track was penned by her former collaborator Mike Chapman. March 2007 saw Quatro release a version of The Eagles’ “Desperado”, followed by the publication her autobiography, “Unzipped” Suzi Quatro has sold over 45 million records worldwide, in Australia surpassing the sales of the Beatles." What Wikipedia says about Roz Kelly who played Pinky Tuscadero: "Kelly spends her time in upstate New York with her family and friends. Her hobbies include sewing and writing poetry. Although, not officially retired from acting, she has not worked in the film genre in over a decade… On November 29, 1999, she was arrested for firing a 12-gauge shotgun into the living room window of a neighbor’s house after a car alarm woke her up; she also shot the neighbor’s car and another car nearby. The neighbor was not home at the time. " Who was it here at the SDMB who had an absent neighbour’s car alarm going all weekend a while back? Somehow I don’t recall shotguns being one of the identified solutions. ---
