The College Widow got me thinking… I really do like that video of James Brown performing “Gravity,” and it’s Friday… Back in the Old Dirty Harry’s Place days Floyd, John Nolte and I had a tradition of sharing moments from classic films that we loved on Fridays (John carried the tradition on to Big Hollywood and [...] “Whatever it is, I’m against it!” Alright students, listen up. I’ve had all I can take of this Climate Change/Global Warming/Ice Caps receding/El Nina/El Nino/CO2 Good/CO2 Bad/Carbon Footprint/Carbon Offset/Cap and Trade/Crap and Trade nonsense. In the words of Popeye the Sailor, “that’s all I can stands, I can’t stands no more!” I [...] Massachusetts State Senator Anthony Galluccio, a Democrat (not that you’d know that from reading the AP story) appears to be positioning himself as a challenger to replace the late Senator Ted Kennedy in the upcoming special election. The Boston Globe gives the details: Cambridge police gave state Senator Anthony Galluccio a ride home early the [...] On today’s radio program Glenn Beck commented on President Obama’s first address to the nation after the Fort Hood attacks. If you live in New York city, or get satellite radio you may have heard Andrew Wilkow making similar comments. Fort Hood was a terrible tragedy and I would not ordinarily nitpick about some-one’s initial [...]
She’s a rich girl, and it’s gone too far… From Spinner.com: TV personality Rachael Ray is on a mission: to get Hall and Oates into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. We’ve known that Ray is a lover of the more rock-flavored variety of the Hold Steady and the New [...] This was very under-reported, and will likely be news to you, but Sarah Palin, former Governor of Alaska, wrote on her Facebook page that one of the proposed health care bills features “death panels.” Although the term “death panel” does not appear in the bill, the bill did contain language about “end of life” panels that [...] Over at her blog, Shredded Cheddar (and that’s a great blog name, by the way), threedonia regular Enbrethiliel has “tagged” me with some internet meme thingamajig. I’ve never done one of these before, and I refuse to participate in the “send it immediately to 7 of your closest friends or your harline will recede and [...] More than 1/10 of Whites may have what’s called the “Churchill Gene”, according to this article in Prospect Magazine. The gene enables one to drink heavily and yet still function at a high — even enhanced — level. Yet until recently science has had little to say about alcohol and the creative process, confining [...] Have you ever wondered: 1. Is it good if a vacuum really sucks? 2. Why is the third hand on a watch called the second hand? 3. If a word is misspelled in the dictionary, how would we ever know? 4. Why do we say something is out of whack? What is a “whack”? 5. [...] Share on Facebook Here is a great story from The Weekly Standard (its cover story) on the resurgence of the cocktail – and not the sugary concoctions that pass for cocktails — the liberal versions. The cocktail is a lovely simple thing: a mixture of spirits and flavorings that whets the appetite, pleases the eye, and stimulates the [...] James Lileks has a great piece up today at the New York Post on Joe Biden and his “terrible truths” contained in his many gaffes. Here’s a taste read the whole thing: What Biden meant to say, in his puckish way, that they misunderstood what an economy is, and how it works. Piling up [...] 30 years ago this day the infamous Disco Demolition Day riot occurred at Old Comiskey park in Chicago. Fans were offered entry in exchange for disco records and 98 cents. The disco records were blown up in center field then Chicagoans reverted to form, rioted, and nearly burned the place down. The White Sox [...] More here, and just about everywhere else on the Internet, including Threedonia’s Friday Open Thread. (And for the record; we are all in a bar, celebrating Independence Day Eve. Kriskey caught the news on one of those scrolls when he looked at the bar TV to check on the score of the BoSox-Mariners game [...] Rockrimmon CC security cameras catch Mike as he sits in his hovel trying to mate his claymates “Harvey” and “Phil”. I have begun to worry about Mike as he seems to have become obsessed with A/V Club, the Little Rascals, and various other things. Luckily, he has left his caddy hovel at the [...] He doesn’t say what he wants when he gets the munchies. I wanna guess “Church’s”, but people would call me racist — even if Church’s is really what he wanted. Though I’m sure he really wants to drink champagne after diving the Great Barrier Reef. Share on [...] Chacun a sont gout. Here’s a site that highlights one-star Amazon reviews of classic movies, books, and albums (do they still call them “albums?”). I wish I’d thought of this—but give me a week, and I will have. Rolling Stones – Let It Bleed The Rolling Stones sucks. Always did and always will. Charlie [...] Be advised that Blackhawk has been spotted commenting at Big Hollywood. A little somethin' for the ladies… All personnel to your stations—this is not a drill. (I’m sure he would have posted at Threedonia first, but accessing the site today is like trying to pry a Ring Ding out of Rosie O’Donnells maw.) Share on [...] The Liberty Manifesto by P.J.
