Betsy Woodruff and Natasha Bertrand
Young reporters and recurring panelists on CNN or MSNBC RussiaGate shows. One writes for the Daily Beast, the other for the New Yorker, I think? Both are brunette and pretty cute, but I think it's Betsy who has kind of a crooked Brian Williams jaw I can't stop staring at.

I'll read a recipe that calls for granulated, and I'll think "not regular sugar" and reach for confectioners. Fuckers should stick to calling them either "sugar" or "powdered sugar".

General JacksonGeneral Jackson
Harry Truman apparently used to exclaim, "Jesus Christ and General Jackson!" I don't know if he's referring to Andrew or Stonewall.
I also get Stonewall Jackson and General Sherman mixed up, which is completely mixed up in itself. (It's one of those that I can figure out after two seconds, but damn, why does it always take me two seconds?)

Pretty sure when 19th century doodz said "Jackson" unqualified, they would have meant Andrew. A symbol of audacious courage, elan, and not giving a fuck.

Kate O'Mara was also an excellent actor. She was on Dynasty as Caress Morell, also was in The Vampire Lovers (1970).
