Happy Feet Friday

The Will Bradley/Ray McKinley band do a boogie-woogie on The Chicken Reel (the studio version released on the 78 was called "Chicken Gumboogie").

I'm back (sort of)

We went down to Virginia Beach to visit my older son, and what excellent timing! Left Northern Virginia Saturday morning just in time to catch the wake of the hurricane which flooded much of Virginia Beach and knocked out power all over the place. Also, I'm apparently so out of shape that I got tendonitis just screwing curtain rods into the wall; my right hand is practically useless (which worries me, since that's my shooting hand). So, posting may be limited due to the fact that I'm typing mainly with my left hand.

Meanwhile, the election draws near and we're looking at the real possibility of a Clinton presidency. I imagine she'll wind up being a kind of pantsuited Robert Mugabe if she gets in. Sad times for the dear old Republic.

BTW, couldn't get away from Cankles even at a Bojangles fast food joint. The restaurant had a television mounted on the wall and Fox News was providing live coverage of Clinton making a speech in Florida. The typical loud, robotic, hectoring style; and there, standing next to her, looking like a well-dressed cigar store Indian, was Al Gore.

See ya

I'll be offline for a few days, so make yourself at home in the comments section.

BTW, saw this bit in the animated movie, Zootopia. The scene is set in the town's Department of Motor Vehicles. I think we've all had a similar experience.

Hillary Clinton, nasty piece of work

Secret Service agents discuss crabby grandma.

Heck of a job, Jimmy!

"FBI agents are ready to revolt over the cozy Clinton probe".
Comey has turned a once-proud institution known for its independence into one that bows to election pressure, hands out political immunity to candidates and effectively pardons their co-conspirators. He’s turned the FBI into the Federal Bureau of Immunity and lost the trust and respect of not only his agents but the country at large. He ought to step down.
Are you crazy? We're probably looking at Hillary's first Supreme Court nominee.

Happy Feet Friday

John Brim knocks out the Gary Stomp.

Right hand man turns out to be more of a left hand man

Secretary of Defense Ashe Carter's top military aide was quite the playah on the taxpayer's dime.
Maj. Gen. Ronald F. Lewis, U.S. Army, was abruptly fired from his position as special assistant to the secretary of defense last November. An investigation by the Pentagon’s inspector general now confirms allegations against Lewis, including a visit to an off-limits club on “Hooker Hill” in Seoul, South Korea, charging taxpayers for $400 bottles of champagne at a strip club in Rome, and making unwanted advances to female subordinates.
