Friday Night Music and More

Friday, June 15, 2018

This has been a banner day for fans of justice, in that Paul Manafort is where he belongs. I found it interesting that, from what I read, a number of experts in the field (I never practiced criminal law) felt it was unlikely that he’d be sent to jail. Personally, based on the allegations, I […]

Look what I see in my crystal ball

Thursday, June 14, 2018

It appears that Lyin’ Sarah will be leaving her present positionsometime in the relatively near future, though she denies it now.  There is a microscopic chance that she will not get a well paid gig bloviating on one of the cable networks, and not necessarily Fox News. No one will ever mention that she was a […]

Pity the Onion

Tuesday, June 12, 2018

If you frequent the same type of internet sites as me, you have no doubt seen many posts that remark that this or that is “not the Onion”, but is in fact real. It makes you feel a bit sorry for the actual Onion, whose proprietors must be working overtime to come up with things […]

Friday, June 8, 2018

Being as I’m getting on in years, and my memory’s failing, it is entirely possible I’ve put this video up before, but it’s well worth watching again. I know I should be able to identify most of these people, but I confess that I can’t get beyond Brian, Sir Elton, and Stevie. Back to real […]

Deafening silence from the Democrats

Sunday, June 3, 2018

So, this happened on TV: House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Sunday defended investigations (or lack thereof) into Donald Trump by the Republican-controlled House of Representatives. During an interview with CNN’s Dana Bash, McCarthy repeatedly dodged questions about lies Trump attorney Jay Sekulow told in an attempt to clear the president of wrongdoing with regard […]

Friday Night Music

Friday, June 1, 2018

Not the usual this Friday night. Nothing from the 60’s. Quite a few years ago my son and I went to see *Me and My Girl* at the Weston Theater in Vermont. We enjoyed it immensely. In my humble opinion the showstopper song is The Lambeth Walk. I listened to the Broadway soundtrack a few […]
