“The Boss” to Leave US
Bruce Springsteen What do Whoopie Goldberg, Snoop Dogg, Cher, Miley Cyrus, Lena Dunham, Babs Streisand, Jon Stewart, and now Bruce Springsteen have in common? All of these luminaries have pledged to leave the country if Trump is elected, and in Springsteen’s case, re-elected. To date, and sadly, none have actually made good on their promise. […]
A Saturday Morning Tune
Another fine older tune – and one with which I think we can all likely identify. No other explanation or comment necessary. Have a fine weekend, all. And be careful out there.
It’s Trump’s fault, but not in the way you’d think
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot this morning on MSNBC told host Chris Jansing that she blames Trump and the Senate (but not the House) for the problems with mass looting in the Miracle Mile downtown area of Chicago last weekend. Said looting happened after Chicago Police officers shot a black male non-fatally. The male subject had […]
A Long-Distance Dedication . . . .
Nothing new from DPAA this week – their only news release concerned a Marine they’d previously identified on their “Recently Accounted For” web page a couple of months ago and included in a “No Longer Missing” article at the time. So I thought I’d provide this instead. This one is dedicated to all those busybody […]

These three IMO are worth watching again – carefully, including the backgrounds and facial expressions. Enjoy. (smile) And […]
A Blast From the Past – So, Just Who Was That Old Coot?
If you grew up in – or spent much time in – the US South, you probably heard the phrase “drunk as Cooter Brown”. I know I have. But just who was Cooter Brown? And why was he immortalized as the standard by which drunks are judged? Until fairly recently I didn’t know. The story […]
A Blast from the Past – Traffic Jam
Last week’s musical flashback generated a comment from a reader to the effect that they’d not previously heard of the featured group (Traffic). That may be the case for other regular readers as well. If you haven’t, you’ve missed out; they were excellent. Here’s a sampler that IMO hits some of the highlights from their […]
Another Blast from the Past
Nothing special or rare about this one – except the quality of the tune. Enjoy. Hey, you didn’t think I’d just post a classic commercial today – did ya? (smile)
