This is the best the art department could come up with on such short notice.
But, of course, our advertisers expect us to put something out every day, so…here you go.
Anyway…I guess…the election! Yeah, it’s an election year, right? How about those Republican primaries? Crazy, right? Yeah…crazy…

Harry Morgan pals around with actor/writer/director Brian DiMaio on the set of RECOiL.
Morgan was born Harry Bratsberg in Detroit in 1915, and appeared in more than 100 films. Before playing career Army surgeon Sherman Potter from 1975-1983, he played Joe Friday’s partner, Bill Gannon, on TV’s “Dragnet” from 1967-1970.

Andy Rooney and Brian DiMaio entered the Army on the same day at the same height, weight, hair, and eye color. Rooney would go on to write for Stars and Stripes and eventually 60 minutes. DiMaio wrote for the Army Times and, later, The Daily Quarterly. Rooney was always envious of DiMaio's accomplishments.
He gained prominence as a writer for “Stars and Stripes” during World War II and was one of just six journalists who flew on the first American bombing raids of Germany.

Catch Homeland on Showtime featuring Claire Danes (center), Mandy Patinkin (right) and, eventually, Joe Mantegna (left) when Patinkin quits in a couple of years.
New York—The latest manager for Tony- and Emmy-Award-winning actor and singer Mandy Patinkin said last week how happy Patinkin is for the opportunity to return to television in the “Showtime” drama “Homeland” so he can star in it for a season or two before he decides he and the producers of the show have different artistic visions and he leaves the program.
Larry Gould, Patinkin’s agent since January of this year, said that the former “Chicago Hope” and “Criminal Minds” star has been away from television doing theater in New York and London for the past several years, and missed the “tension, low morale and negativity” that he used to feel and spread after several months of working in network television.
