Lori Loughlin

Issue dated November 11, 2019: Lori Loughlin


For the third time this year, Lori Loughlin is the main cover story, resulting from her part in the college admission scandal. In none of those stories did the magazine actually speak with Loughlin herself. Everything is attributed to "sources." I had her, along with the Chris Lane/Lauren Bushnell wedding story, on the Guessing Game list.

If People follows the same schedule as last year, next week should be the Sexiest Man cover. Any guesses for who the lucky guy might be? Do you remember last year's winner? (It was Idris Elba.) See his cover here and the list of all previous winners here.

Last year at this time: Issue dated November 12, 2018

Paw Of Honor? - Updated

If you were a Medal of Honor recipient, like James McCloughan, below:



... would you be 1) charmed, or 2) annoyed, if the president tweeted out a picture in which your face has been replaced by the face of a dog:

AMERICAN HERO! pic.twitter.com/XCCa2sGfsZ

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) October 30, 2019

A couple of thoughts. Obviously, Donald didn't do the photoshop himself. I briefly wondered if he didn't realize it's a meme, but presumably even Donald would be aware that he hasn't actually pinned a Medal of Honor, with the actual medal replaced by a paw print, no less, around the neck of a Belgian Malinois.

I also get that this is the hero dog from the al-Baghdadi raid in Syria Saturday night, and Donald is trying to honor him, but it still strikes me as not quite right. 

Read more here.

Update. The New York Times weighs in and apparently Mr. McCloughan doesn't mind:

The photo President Trump shared seemed to be an altered version of a 2017 photo of James McCloughan receiving a Medal of Honor. McCloughan told The New York Times that he felt President Trump was recognizing the dog’s heroism: “They are very courageous." https://t.co/XUWwq0b9Ie

Update #2. More about his beautiful dog:

“This dog is a four-year veteran of the @USSOCOM K-9 program and has been a member of approximately 50 combat missions.” - @CENTCOM Commander Gen. Frank McKenzie Jr. pic.twitter.com/ushD1G5X01
