Went over like a lead balloon didn't it?

Wow - that sure was an exciting opening night for the DNC Convention, wasn't it... 


Interesting hairdo she was sporting last night.

Last night was the last night. A coupla 50+ years ago? Feels like a million years ago. God - I feel old sometimes.

Back in the day when necessity was the mother of invention

Over 60 Portland 911 calls go unheeded overnight as police respond to riot


Calls about theft, vandalism, suspicious activity,
 hit and runs, and burglary were put on hold

On the 80th consecutive night of protests, the Portland Police Bureau declared a riot around midnight Sunday after a crowd of hundreds had blocked traffic for three hours by the Penumbra Kelly Building in the 4700 block of East Burnside Street, trespassed on the closed property and engaged in “violent, tumultuous conduct.”
The targeted building is owned by the city and is used by city and county employees, including the Police Bureau. From midnight to about 2:45 a.m., protesters ignored warnings from police to disperse and began arguing amongst themselves.
Some threw objects at police cars in the parking lot of the building and spray-painted over security cameras. Others shined green lasers at officers’ eyes and pelted police with softball-sized “river rocks” and glass bottles.

This photo of a woman taken on a beach in the south of France in 1925 proves that beauty truly is timeless, don'tcha think?

Here it is in color:

I'm an Army Vet and I'm not embarrassed
 to say that I have NEVER voted.

Just never did  - no explanation offered or required.



You know I fuckin' HATE politics, but things are just 
too nuts for me anymore. I finally registered.

Get a couple for yourself here - I have two of 'em:

Hmmm. Somethings brewing - wuddya suppose

They dealt with rioters a little differently 
back in my day.



Newark 53 years ago. I was 14 and had just graduated 8th grade. I was successfully hiding on the beach in Wildwood, NJ. I think, at one point, my father worked 24/7 for five days in a row during the riots. At that time he was working in the NPD Emergency Squad.

Suzanne Pleshette. In my top 10 all time beautiful women. She started her career in the theatre and began appearing in films in the late 1950s and later appeared in prominent films such as Rome Adventure and Alfred Hitchcock's 'The Birds'. She was married for a few weeks to Troy Donohue in the early 60's - until she found out he was gay.

History repeats itself. This 'poem' was supposedly written in 1869 and then reprinted during the 1919 Pandemic. It's called "And the people stayed home". 

And the people stayed at home
And they read books
And they listened to music
And they rested
And they did exercises
And they made art and played
And they learned new ways of being
And they stopped and listened Deeper
Someone meditated, someone prayed,
Someone met his own shadow
And people started thinking differently
And the people were healed.
The earth also began to heal
And when the danger was over and
People found themselves
They mourned for the dead
And they made new choices
And they dreamed of new visions
And they created new ways of life
And they completely healed the earth
Just as they were healed.

It hosted A-list celebrities, tycoons of industry and world leaders alike — but now Jeffrey Epstein’s private jet, dubbed the “Lolita Express” because he allegedly used it as a flying underage-sex palace, is collecting dust at a Georgia airport. The Boeing 727 is parked in a long-term storage area at Brunswick Golden Isles Airport in southeastern Georgia, about 70 miles north of Jacksonville, Fla., according to an aviation expert who was recently allowed aboard the infamous aircraft.
James McCloskey, an aviation consultant,  was given a tour of the jet while doing work for Scroggins Aviation, a Las Vegas-based company that buys planes and plane parts for the film industry. He said the plane felt like a “playground.” 
“When you get inside the aircraft, it’s a playground. Everything lays out to be a bed. That was kind of creepy,” “It’s not like the aircraft is set up for a business meeting — because it’s not. There’s no chairs for anyone to sit in, except for the lie-flat chairs.”  He added that the interior design looked like something from the Disco Era. 

Anybody ever figure out where this fuckin' creep really got all of his money from?

And now this just in from the 
"THE NEWS JUST KEEPS GETTING BETTER" Department:
A new D614G Covid-19 strain has been detected in Malaysia, and it supposedly  10 times more infectious then the one we're dealing with now. 

Great.

The Malaysian Institute for Medical Research has detected a D614G-type mutation as a result of isolation and culture tests on three cases from the Sivagangga patient-under-investigation (PUI) Cluster and one case from the Ulu Tiram Cluster.
Health director-general Datuk Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah  said this means the community has to be more careful as the Covid-19 virus with the D614G mutation has been detected in Malaysia. "It is found to be 10 times easier to infect other individuals and easier to spread, if spread by ‘super spreader’ individuals. So far, these two clusters have been found to be under control as a result of the swift public health control actions."

Doesn't it fascinate you (it certainly does me) how people who do not matter in any way have opinions that they absolutely have to force upon us? I'm thinking of celebreties who think they are somehow 'relevant'.

A guy in Utah was arrested Monday for tossing his wife into a river at a waterside resort in a fit of rage over dinner arrangements. Douglas Harold Green, 61, threw her in the dunk Sunday night. Green’s wife told police the two were arguing over dinner arrangements when her husband “reportedly became angry and threatened to drown her in the river.”
Green then dragged his wife to the water and threw her ass in. The guy also reportedly threatened witnesses who attempted to help his wife. And they had had no problems in their marriage prior to that, right?

Do kids still do this in the classroom? 
I'm sorta out of the loop on this.

As bad as the Dem's ticket might be now, go back a couple of years - this could most definitely have been the case.

Tokyo’s New Transparent Public Restrooms 
Are A Stroke Of Genius? Maybe.


Supposedly, the  glass goes opaque when they're being used. I wouldn't trust 'em - would you? Not that I give a fuck but taking a dump in public can be fairly embarrassing to some.

Imagine how good dinner - or any meal -
 served at that table must be.

I had a dog that stupid once.

And then there's the time back in '51 when Bill Veeck signed a midget to his Cleveland Browns baseball team just for the fuck of it. Think anybody'd get away with doing a stunt like that now? 
See how much is missing in the world today because everyone is so fuckin' overly 'sensitive' about stupid shit? Ohhhh - I don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings, oh, noooo. PLEASE. Grow a fuckin' pair and go back to having fun fer fuck sake.

They get to pick their own nicknames?
 Since when - and really - what the fuck is up with that?

Do you have one of these? I do...



I've been using one similar for about 20 years. It's a great idea 'cause sometimes when stuff like steak or lobster tails go on sale, I can buy a shitload and using this to pack 'em and freeze 'em. They stay great in the freezer for a year or more. Ya never get freezer burn or frosty ice shit on the stuff you freeze using this. Ya might wanna seriously consider getting one.

You can find info on it here:
