Check 'em out

Gregory is linking episodes in the Maga-Man series, featuring president and hero, Donald Trump. Good stuff!

Happy Feet Friday

I'm not sure how I managed to never have heard of Sue Foley, but I stumbled across one of her music videos recently, and, man, she plays a mean guitar. She's originally from Canada, but is now part of the Austin, Texas blues and rock scene. Here she is with "Okie Dokie Stomp".


Bonus video!  And here's what I imagine Travis Kelce - he of the $94,350 outfit - sings to himself everyday.

I thought I owed you all at least some good news

From Australia:

 "'A miracle': Officer shot in head during Bondi attack home from hospital". 

A young police officer who was shot in the head during the Bondi Beach attack has been released from hospital.
Probationary Constable Jack Hibbert - who is just four months into the job - was patrolling a Hanukkah event when two gunmen opened fire, injuring over 40 people and killing 15.

That particular news item is from December of last year; however, the exciting news from friend and commenter Mick is that Constable Jack Hibbert has returned to duty. I'm always particularly glad to see these young heroes overcome the odds and return to their profession.

Some days, it's difficult to believe that we aren't finished as a nation

 Just three examples. Merely anecdotal, but telling.

"12-Year-Old Boy Driving STOLEN Car Allegedly Blows Through Red Light and Kills Elderly Motorcyclist – Will Face NO CRIMINAL CHARGES".

"Iowa City Council Meeting Opens With Prayer to SATAN".

Feral kid shoots teacher (this one's a few years old, but I doubt things are any different now. Btw: language alert).

I don't really believe we're finished - yet. But the more I look back at the time when I grew up, and do comparisons between then and now, it becomes increasingly difficult to see how you clear away the accumulated moral garbage of the last 50 years. As P.G. Wodehouse once wrote, "It alters one's whole conception of Man as Nature's last word." 

Incroyable!

 Maybe it was a chilly night and they were grateful for the warmth.

Eva Marie Saint, RIP

Eva Marie Saint, one of the last representatives of the golden age of Hollywood, has died at age 102. She had a remarkable career. You rarely see the kind of class she exhibited anymore.

Update  Eva Marie Saint and Cary Grant on the train, from North by Northwest.
