An appropriate ear worm for your day...

 And they did it live - no lip-synching. 
That was unique for Soul Train...  
 
 
Wake up all the teachers
Time to teach a new way
Maybe then they'll listen
To whatcha have to say
'Cause they're the ones who's comin' up
And the world is in their hands
When you teach the children
Teach 'em the very best you can

Tom Suozzi's Tuesday night victory in the localized special district election over rival Mazi Pilip denies Republicans a chance to pad out their slim majority in the House of Representatives. The district is actually a fairly affluent area on Long Island's north shore. He will finish Mr Santos's term following his removal from Congress over allegations of fraud.
The race was a closely watched bellwether for the November elections. In a victory speech briefly interrupted by protesters calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, Mr Suozzi said, "This race was fought amidst a closely divided electorate."
Suozzi is a Biden democrat hack who has and will always only vote 110% with the party line, juss' so yuz know...

Having not watched (or should I say 'not paid attention' 'cause the TV was on in the bar I was at) the Stuper Bowl, I musta missed something. What is this cartoon alluding to? My wife says it was for some kinda Christian prayer app - is that legit? 'Cause if it is, somebody's got some seriously fucked-up priorities I think. Juss' sayin'...

This is the GIF/graphic that accompanied an article in yesterday's New York Post. The article itself was pretty fuckin' stupid, having the message that one so-called expert somewhere said something about how it's bad luck to have sex on Valentine's Day or some crazy shit. 
I was kinda surprised that the paper even ran the item, but - upon further review - I came to realize it hadda be a goof. Either way, I thought the graphic was cool, so here we are...

Didn't take 'em too long for this, did it...

What's worse - some jerkoff somewhere in some dank, dark basement somewhere down a blind alley somewhere in Moonbuy or some other third world shithole would actually create and send this and think it might dupe somebody somewhere into opening the attachment and fucking up their own computer, or the poor stupid fuck who actually would fall for this and click on the same said attachment? I don't know, but that last sentence was a pretty fuckin' long one. That's a tough call...

Going way back to the '80s when I had the Ad Agency (McGovern/Jackson), Kenilworth Systems was a substantial client of ours. They had developed the very first 'Player Card' reader systems for slot players. This was one of the trade publication ads we did for them for their 'Lott-o-Gold' magnetic card reader system. Kenilworth was the predecessor company to IGT - International Game Technology, now the world's largest company serving state lotteries around the world.
That's my secretary at the time Evie (great gal), me and my Grandmother Minny. And yes, I did dress like that every day back then.

A follow-up to yesterday's item...

 
A country music radio station in Oklahoma, KYKC, faced backlash for denying a fan’s request to play BeyoncĂ©’s new country single “Texas Hold ‘Em”.  The station’s general manger is defending the decision, “We do not play BeyoncĂ© on KYKC as we are a country music station.”
(PS - that graphic is from the Post also)

  1. The ad was from a group calling itself "He gets Us". It pops up quick on a search.

    There's NO information about who is behind, who the leadership is, etc. It has the vibe of a leftist front group, using Christianity has bait.

  2. Don’t know if it’s your suit or the camera lens but you look a bit huskier in that picture than I’ve ever seen you

    1. It's not the lens. It's me. I was tipping the scales at about 210 in those days. 180 now

  3. Mazi Pilip is a female, black, Ethiopian refugee who escaped persecution there. She is very accomplished, works in medicine and politics. Wow, she pushes most all the DEI buttons. All she'd need is to be gay. Oh, wait. There it is. She's a Jew. Escaped to Israel in a covert military operation that rescued 14,000 Jews in a day and a half when she was 12. Then she served, o.m.g., I can barely type the words, she served in the, the, the ... IDF paratrooper battalion as a gunsmith. And of course, is likely a dead shot as all women in the IDF seem to be. Well, then, I guess that guy got the easy win. If his winner speech was interrupted by the terrorist/rapist/baby killer/burn the children alive crowd, just imagine what would have happened had she won! Mighta has a few beat-to-crap morons on the floor of the hall. One can only dream...

  4. I've said for years that we need to get Weird Al Yankovic for the Superbowl halftime show.

  5. The strange language in the scam email is deliberate. There was a report a year or two ago that explained that mistakes like that are to keep people who are too alert/intelligent from responding to the email - it's apparently safer for the scammers if the only people who respond are the ones who can't tell immediately that it's a scam.

Two great versions of the same song. Doesn't happen often...

The original is a time capsule by itself... And the version from Darryl's House...
