Today, on March 14, 1973, U.S. Navy pilot John McCain was released after 5 1/2 years as a POW in Hanoi. He was among 108 American prisoners of war freed that day. #JohnMcCain #USNavy #Honor

@SecWar I don’t often involve myself in politics, but this is the line that needs to be held. GFY pete (lower case intentional). For the record, I did not attend an Ivy, but I would have been honored to do so.

"With some time off before his first season as CBS’s golden boy, Jackie Gleason camped out at Toots Shor’s with Frank Sinatra and his celebrity pals.
One evening Frank Sinatra showed up during Jackie’s morning eye-opener with four tickets to the sold-out final playoff game between the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers.
J. Edgar Hoover, the head of the FBI, was having a tête-à-tête with Toots and Frank, and invited the trio to accompany him to the game.
Everyone agreed except Jackie, who wanted to stay at the bar and drink.
They finally talked Jackie into it by renting a fully stocked limo.
Frank Sinatra recalls:
“We pile into that limousine, already feeling no pain, especially Gleason.
Jackie guzzled booze all the way to the Polo Grounds and ate most of the food.
When we get there, Jackie switches to hot dogs and beer.
Comes the last half of the ninth and the fans are going wild.
The Giants are behind 4-2 and Bobby Thompson comes to bat.
Right at the exact moment, with the crowd screaming, Jackie Gleason throws up right on me.
Here is one of the all-time classic games that people will talk about and I am right in the stadium and I don’t see Bobby Thompson hit that home run.
Only Gleason, a Brooklyn fan, would get sick at a time like that.
But that’s not the punch line.
On the drive back to Toots Shor's , Gleason keeps muttering to the chauffeur to pull over to the side of the road saying, “Let’s throw this bum Sinatra out of here.
He’s smelling up the limo.”
Some nights Jackie Gleason would show up at Toots Shor's with a baseball bat and glove, get loaded, and then go hit fly balls to Joe DiMaggio in Central Park in the middle of the night.
Gleason also liked to stage fake fistfights with rookie sensation Mickey Mantle, just to mess with Toots’ head."
"The Great Drunk: Lushing Large with Jackie Gleason".
Frank Kelly Rich.
'The Great One'.

“You have three older brothers that now look up to you. You will always be our champion.”
As Haley Winn gets ready for @TeamUSA’s gold medal game against Canada, her brothers, Casey, Ryan and Tommy, leave their sister an encouraging and heartwarming voicemail. ❤️

Me: “OMG Barkley is on!!”
Normal person: “The what?”
Me: “It’s this crazy race in TN that only 20 ppl have finished in 40 years.”
Normal person: “Wow, are you gonna watch?”
Me: “You don’t watch, you follow some guy’s Twitter!”
Normal person….

@LinksGems @CrailGolf The cross-crossing fairways are mind blowing. So much fun.

The Balcomie Links at Crail - the history practically oozes from the ground here.
The Crail Golfing Society was formed in 1787 - the same year that the U.S. Constitution was drafted and signed.
Golf on this site has been played since the mid-1800s, and none other than Old Tom Morris himself laid down the present course in between 1894 and 1898.
And if you prefer your history even older, take a peek into King’s Cave as you walk from the 14th green to the 15th tee - legend has it that Dutch invaders killed Constantine, King of the Scots, here way back in 874.
