Sometimes it's enough to just say 'Good Morning' and nothing else...

 
Thankfully, today isn't one of those 'sometimes'. 
This iconic picture (that I fucked with of course) was taken by a little-known but truly gifted photographer named Ruth Orkin. Read about her story if you enjoy classic photography as much as I do. You'll thank me later...

I saw this yesterday for the first time. I really hope that's not the slogan he's going to run under. 
It just doesn't resonate the same way that  MAGA did when he used it in 2016.

I know you probably don't know or care about this one specific place going out of business in NJ, but when I saw the news item it made me think. This is the third or fourth truly iconic banquet hall that I knew of that has closed it's doors in the past year or so. I'm sure the covid lockdown bullshit had a lot to do with fucking up their business model and income, but this may point to a much bigger issue. 
Kids today aren't getting married at the same ages and in the same numbers as we did. I could go off in ten different directions about why they are - or more specifically are not - following in our footsteps, but why bother. Traditions don't mean shit to them and we'll all be dead in 40 years or so, so fuck 'em.
 Juss' sayin'...

As her 'colleagues' gathered on the House floor Thursday to decide her fate, Ilhan Omar could have offered one more apology. Instead, the Minnesota Democrat spoke to what she saw as a larger injustice: the silencing of a Black, Muslim woman. Herself.
The Republican-controlled House voted along party lines to remove Omar from the House Foreign Affairs Committee over previous comments she made about Israel that members of both parties viewed as antisemitic.
"Is anyone surprised that I am somehow deemed unworthy to speak about American foreign policy? Or that they see me as a powerful voice that needs to be silenced?" Omar said on the House floor moments before the 218-211 vote. "Frankly, It is expected. Because when you push power, power pushes back." 
If ever there was an example of someone who really should be silenced, it's this hateful towel-headed cunt. How the fuck do people vote for people like her? It boggles the mind...

$ 6,000 to $ 40,000 back in the day and I'd betcha every one of them is still standing. Nowadays you'd pay 400k or more for one of them.

Montana Senator Steve Daines is concerned about the purported Chinese spy balloon floating above the US and speculates China's government is targeting the states nuclear missile fields. 
Daines sent a letter to the Department of Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Thursday as defense officials confirmed the massive balloon has been hovering over the northern United States for the last few days. The balloon was last seen flying above Billings, Montana on Wednesday. The state is home to fields of underground Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile silos.

Here's some advice for the three girls who read this blog:

One of my favorite places in the whole world. If there was a way for me to move there, I'da left yesterday. This is from behind my brother's cottage in Classy, Donegal County, Ireland, right above the Gweebarra River. You can catch wild Atlantic salmon in the river just below his house. What an ideallic place.

Another on of my favorite places on earth but sadly, this one's no longer there. A funky little hole-in-the-wall bar called 'The Backyard' on St. John. This pic is from '92 or there abouts - yeah that's me on the left. It was a daily ritual to stop in for a few pops after work every day.

She's been kinda MIA last coupla months...

    Confiscate the Chinese spy gear .
    Either the Chinese complain , or remain silent - either way they lose face .

  3. Pete Rose made the All-Star game at all five positions too. Incredible. It's a cruel irony for MLB and the baseball HOF that he is much more famous and talked about because he's not in the HOF. It's how God's sense of humor works.

  5. If you are going to share Ruth Orkin’s photographs, you must include my favorite one of hers “American Girl in Italy” especially the reaction of all the men
