Spent the last couple nights watching George Carlin HBO specials. I haven’t gotten through them all yet, but I have them recorded. I’d forgotten just how many jokes I’ve stolen from him over the years. Before the first one, they actually had Shana Alexander caution us that there would be naughty words, and damned if they didn’t freeze frame at one point with a message cautioning us that we may want to turn away. Amazing how things changed in 30 or so years. They never warned us before each episode of the Sopranos that Tony had a potty mouth.
Oh well, Happy National HIV Testing Day.

Is it July yet?
Morning all. My niece Sarah is home from Georgetown and I will go over Sunday to visit. Apparently she will be doing her first semester of the next school year in Senegal. I’m reading up on that now to find out out if I should be fretting or not. ๐
North Pole Could be Ice-Free This Summer
Arctic sea ice could break apart completely at the North Pole this year, allowing ships to sail over the normally frozen top of the world.
The Cure for High Gas and Food Prices: Vital Businesses Need Nationalization
Like the rest of the world, Venezuelan consumers have been squeezed by rising prices, and even shortages, of groceries. In 2007 Venezuela’s socialist-leaning government decided to do something about it. First they imposed price controls on staple items. When suppliers began to hoard supplies to drive up prices, President Hugo Chavez threatened to nationalize them. “If they remain committed to violating the interests of the people, the constitution, the laws, I’m going to take the food storage units, corner stores, supermarkets and nationalize them,” he said. Food profiteers grumbled. Then they straightened up.

Plum fool about Ida Red
Hey, Vern :yippee:
Rocky & Bullwinkle :love: have been my heros ever since they first graced the teevee screen. :love: I have a sweatshirt that is about 20 yrs old & is my all time fave — picture of Bullwinkle & the “WHATSAMATTA U” logo. My Alma Mater :fist:
“Nothing up my sleeves,” as Bullwinkle rips off his sleeves … teehee… while he waves hand over hat. (Artnorton or Andy aka Aquaman & whomever – one of ya also got joke 2 :rofl2: :banana: )
Yeah, I got it Dru ๐
As the days grow shorter…….., sunlight fading earlier and earlier…..,

Shana Alexander
Clues + Fill in the blanks:
1. Aykroyd
2. ___, ___ ignorant slut
Jane, you…possibly.
Except instead of Jane it’s Shana, I’m thinkin’.
Damn, I’m slow! :doh:
Travis is correct.
Jane Curtin played the Shana Alexander-like character. Dan Aykroyd’s character was “loosely” based on the haggard Jeanne Kirkpatrick.
They are blaming muskrats on levees breeching !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
:fire:
All based on the weekly 60 Minutes Point/Counterpoint conversation with Shana and conservative columnists James J. Kilpatrick.
Oh, you said that while I was trying to add this
Does anyone remember when the show (60 Minutes) first went on the air they had something similar with a couple of talking silhouettes?
Right, not Jeanne Kirkpatrick, but James J. Kilpatrick.
“She’s a man, baby”
Egg on face, but with a rationale. :sammy:
Vaguely remember this shadowy deal, but I may have it mixed up with something I saw on Ed Sullivan.
It was always a weird conversation that ended with a couple of thank yous. It was the best part of the show.
:fustrate: My Head Hurts …
Sorry, RG, it was time for a change. I love them, too. They used to be on every morning at 6 AM and I would lie in bed with coffee and a cigarette getting ready for the day.
Yes. That is exactly what I too did as a young adult “cub”. .. :fist: A!I!V!
I look also at timing. About 10pm an Obama-ite called since I am on their leadership “whatever” training … the People are coming up from the Obama Camp from SSan Francisco to set up a DEM yet “one for all & etc…” type of campaign. I almost went (at 9AM eek 8) ) I told her that Hill had changed me over to Obama’s Camp … then Obama voted for FISA
Then the chick was really stupid … she bragged how Obama got her to vote for the first time, SEVERAL [BLOODY (mine) ]] MONTHS BACK.
She showed how lame her Passion Voting compared to Strategic voting was, although we did agree that: — his recent vote and his recent actions SUCK! … :fist: A!I!V! :pirate: :hubba:
This is still on a Friday and about the time I started before:
“CANDLE IN THE WINDOW, :cake: calling You, Dear FRED, HOME.”
Much has been said and not said — then 4 some 2 go away … but promises made to some that were here and not here. :nod: ๐ … :fist: A!I!V!
I did not use the Menora :menorah: because it is of a certain Religious Faith. SJ & NR had that Belief intensely woven in their background.
BTW FRED Just Be Well, :bee: 8) Dear :pirate: Sir Fred :hubba:
