What's left of it...starting late today, and likely to stop early...Microsoft attacking the laptop...
Comedy (Not)
This web site joins the Trumps in calling for the dismissal, and permanent blacklisting, of so-called comedian Jimmy Kimmel. Hear this well, boys: the only woman you ever accuse of looking like an expectant widow, if you want to have a career, is YOUR OWN WIFE. She has a valid reason to look that way. Kimmel basically accused Melania Trump of conspiracy in the attack that occurred a few days later. Doing that shouldn't be censored. It is most definitely of interest to law enforcement. It may be a valid, evidence-based criminal charge worth investigating, and it is more likely to be either (a) a false accusation based in wishful thinking, also worth investigating, or (b) a false accusation made in hopes of distracting suspicion from the speaker's own culpability, also worth thoroughly investigating.
Candace Owens is not a comedian. She is investigating accusations coming from her base, but she is showing very bad taste by publicizing those accusations in a complete absence of proof. Let Kimmel's fate be a warning to her.
Fashion, More Low Moments in
Half-grown Ella Devi sneered at Mrs. Hegseth about a dress that...I don't care how little she paid for it. If she got the dress from the Amvets or Salvation Army or Prevention of Blindness Society store, babygirl, I say cheers! I do think the dress does nothing for her, and probably would have looked even worse on the majority of women worldwide. But what's tacky here is an 18-year-old child trying to tell grown-up women how to dress. Don't you have a term paper to write, Ella, dear?
Fashion, More Positive Statements in
Found at Messy Mimi's blog. Lens says it was first posted by Mary Edwards Arceneaux on F******k. This is actually the kind of thing I wear around the house in winter. If I wanted anyone to think it was sexy, I would point out how easily the whole lovely confection slips off.
Flowers
Beautiful yellow things.
Kentucky
Most of anything anyone from Kentucky has to say about Virginia should be dismissed as mere envy, but this must be allowed.
Music
Dire Straits.
Aoife O'Donovan.
The Grateful Dead.
Cat Stevens.
Ballake Sissoko.
The Byrds.
Nana Mouskouri.
Three Dog Night.
Toto.
Progress Satellite. This is a long one. Not, in my opinion, great: nobody ever has done or will do this kind of music as well as Mannheim Steamroller. Nevertheless, some nice long tracks with breaks in between for link hunting.
Aerosmith. This would have been my pick for a list of Bad Songs in 1976 or so, but I will admit it sounds a lot better in stereo than it used to sound on that old radio banging around at the back of the school bus.
I do down-rate singers for diction, though. If you're going to all the trouble of recording a song, it's worth practicing to get the consonants to come out clearly.
Arrogant Worms. This Canadian chap has excellent diction, and the song is hilarious.
White Stripes.
J.J. Cale.
Meh. Do you readers actually follow these links and discover old favorites or new fun stuff to listen to, or do these music sections merely expand the page?
Party Politics
Revenge! Deny it who can!
I think this kind of thing should be subject to the popular vote. If Floridians really are turning against the Loony Left, that's good news. If they're being subjected to "redistricting" just for revenge, that's tacky. Let the people decide.
