In the ongoing backlash against Senator Joe Manchin, it's probably worth remembering who's not at fault here.
On Monday, Bette Midler aired her grievances on Twitter about Democratic Senator Joe Manchin withdrawing his support for Biden's Build Back Better Bill—a piece of legislation that aims to improve a litany of areas in American life, including access to childcare, affordable healthcare, and climate change. Her dismay is understandable because, to get to the point real quick, Senator Manchin is the worst.

Also, there's a minor additional point, which is that Jeff Bezos has been working out, but that's neither here nor there. After all, this is a documentary about William Shatner, right? This next evolution alarm clock is both old-school cool and packed with sleep-focused features. How often do the giants—the true giants, the All-Timers, the icons, the capi di tutti capi—get together? Not often. Not nearly often enough. In these days of manufactured stardom and celebrity du jour, hardly ever. That's why Esquire asked these two guys—these two monsters—to get together, mano a Santa, for a little Noel nosh and Yuletide yammer. The place: Bistro Latino, 1711 Broadway, New York, New York. Santa had the paella. Bill Murray had a salad. Brandy was served. From the December 1998 issue of Esquire... |
