Wow - what a clusterf*ck

In this latest, most fierce Democratic presidential debate, there was maybe 1 winner and 
327 million losers... 



 Michael Bloomberg landed in Las Vegas like a highly anticipated show on the Strip. But when he took to the stage with five competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination Wednesday night, he came off like an ill-prepared loser who's only used to getting his own way all the time. The Dems were almost vicious and their debate immediately became like an Ultimate Fighting Championship match.

Bernie being Bernie is no longer entertaining - he's just annoying. Biden? Just go the fuck home Joe - your 'me and Barrack' schtick can't hold up to any tests any more. Mayor Pete once again came off as sorta polite, buy he's a lightweight and we all know it. Amy? Jeez. Just that - jeez.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren appeared to have landed the most blows and proved once again what a miserable, angry, despicable piece of shit she is. Warren would not be ignored or denied, wouldn't put her hand down, wouldn't shut up, and was disrespectful at all turns.
"I’d like to talk about who we’re running against: A billionaire who calls women fat broads & horse faced lesbians, and no I’m not talking about Donald Trump, I’m talking about mayor Bloomberg."
-Elizabeth Warren


Forget Lincoln and Douglas. Forget Nixon and Kennedy. Hell, forget the Athenians and the Melians back during the Peloponnesian War. Last night’s Democratic primary slagfest in Nevada was the greatest debate in all of human history, according to one flack at the NY Post. 
Oh, was it glorious — the sheer raging hostility spraying across the stage as every campaign besides the Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg bids face the desperate possibility each might fade into the woodwork against the Bernie surge and the Bloomberg billions.
It’s not that the gloves were off. No, my friends, everybody was wearing steel-tipped boots and going right for the crotch. Those weren’t snowflakes. They were nunchucks.

20 minutes in my brain exploded and I've been up all night scraping blood and skull parts off the ceiling. 

God help us if any one of these people ever do manage to get in to the White House.

I'm 66 and finally got my very first electric. 

I had stopped playing for about 30 years and only just started again a few months ago. I tell ya, the hands and fingers don't respond the same way they did when I was 16. Fuck. I bought this just because it was an 'all-in-one' package, but I gotta tell ya, this gitbox is pretty damn easy and smooth.

See for yourself what a deal this is:

Bozo the Clown is dead.



Our Bozo - MY Bozo... has passed.

Bill Britten was New York City's own Bozo the Clown on WPIX-TV, Channel 11 in New York, from 1959 through the mid-sixties. Bill was also a programming director at WNYC and a drama teacher at the Performing Arts High School. He passed away on February 4th, but the word seems to be getting out only now. Here's an early '60s clip of Bill as Bozo: https://www.facebook.com/wpixarchives/videos/1874756659435497/

Now, if the Bozo in that video clip doesn't remind you of the Bozo you saw when you were a kid - assuming you're of, umm, a certain age - that might be because you were watching a *different* Bozo. Like Romper Room, Bozo the Clown was a nationally franchised format, but was seen as a locally-produced show in each market it aired in. The Bozo character (which debuted on Capitol Records in 1946) was owned by the actor/entrepreneur Larry Harmon, who then licensed it to local stations, which is why Chicago had its own Bozo, El Paso had its own Bozo, and New York City had *its* own Bozo: Bill Britten.

At some point in the mid-60s, Larry Harmon thought he could make more money if he produced one show with one Bozo, and some stations - including WPIX - simply aired the national show ("Bozo's Big Top") which actually came out of Boston. But most cities still insisted on doing their own local versions. Bob Bell was Chicago's Bozo from 1960 to 1984; his version was used as the basis for the voice of The Simpsons' Krusty The Clown.

This is just a nice, little story about something I woulda done if I'da thought about it.

I got one of these a little over a year ago and leave it in the back seat of my truck. You'd be amazed how many different ways you can figure out how to use one of these.

While SpaceX has been working hard to deliver a safe, reliable method of transporting astronauts into space for NASA, there’s always been the question of how long it would take before any company, including SpaceX, embraced space tourism. There’s not a whole lot going on in the space tourism market at the moment, aside from big promises for the future, but SpaceX just confirmed that it won’t be left on the sideline when it comes to sending paying customers into the sky.

The company says that it has agreed to fly four private individuals around the Earth in one of its Crew Dragon capsules. Those spacecraft are the same ones that will be used by NASA to send astronauts to the International Space Station.

The deal was reportedly struck through a company called Space Adventures, which acts as the middleman between spaceflight companies and customers with deep pockets. “This historic mission will forge a path to making spaceflight possible for all people who dream of it, and we are pleased to work with the Space Adventures’ team on the mission,” Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX president, said in a statement.
