Old Guy Music honors an Old Guy whom I must have, no exaggeration, seen a hundred times in concert. For years and years, we’d go to any show he’d play in Baltimore, DC, and Philly.

This is as good as music gets.

A friend of mine once referred to Dizzy Gillespie, dismissively, as “the Acker Bilk of the trombone [sic]“. I’m not sure what his problem with either of those two performers was, but he should at least have been able to correctly identify a trumpet. I hang with the smart crowd.
No I remembered that wrong – it was Louis Armstrong he didn’t like. I’m not sure he was a huge fan of Dizzy, either. He’s a lefty so let’s just assume he’s afraid of black guys with trumpets.

My favourite performance for a father was Fred MacMurray in The Apartment.
Fred MacMurray is awesome. I might cast a vote for Tony Curtis in 40 Pounds Of Trouble.
He was very effective in “The Caine Mutiny” as the troublemaker who keeps their own skirt clean.
He does sleaze well. Father of the year candidate in Some Like it Hot and Sweet Smell of Success spring to mind.
My favorite is probably Double Indemnity
Whoops…I still have Fred MacMurray on my mind.
Great flick.
You should see The Boston Strangler.
One of my all time favorites. It was a pity that Hollywood eviscerated Greenwald’s speech, but still.
The movie needed ten more minutes. The book was fantastic and you see the Fred McM character get his due in the end off of Okinawa. The movie needed to tie those ends up.
Jimmy Stewart in Shenandoah
That scene at the end though. I saw that was a kid and it still bothers me!
Wait. Nevada. It’s where Reno and Vegas are located, right? The last outpost of renegade capitalism and gangsterism. Its the place where Johnny Cash shot a man just to watch him die.

Bernie Sanders’ staying power atop the 2020 field has Democratic insiders in Texas on edge: They’re worried nominating the Vermont senator would kneecap their hard-fought campaign to flip the Texas state house.
Putting a self-proclaimed democratic socialist at the top of the ticket would squander a prime opportunity to seize statehouse seats — and congressional districts — that have long been out of reach, robbing the party of a hand in next year’s crucial redistricting process, more than a half-dozen Democratic candidates, activists and political consultants said in interviews.
“There is overall uncertainty which is growing. The real fear for Texas D’s remains Sanders,” Bill Miller, a longtime Austin lobbyist who has worked with both Democrats and Republicans, said of a Sanders ticket. “’We’d be fucked’ — that’s what they’re saying. The drain at the top goes down to the bottom.”
——-
Sanders’ rising progressive agenda and the leftward march of Democrats like Elizabeth Warren has divided the party here about how to succeed and what lessons to divine from years of electoral losses born out of deploying untested strategies they hope will transform Texas into a battleground state.
“Sanders is a complete disaster and Warren is a complete-disaster-lite,” said Texas-based campaign consultant Jeff Hewitt, who has been working in Democratic politics since he served on Clinton-Gore’s campaign team in the 1990s. “At the end of the day, most of us want to win.”
Oh, come on, everybody loves ol’ Grandpa Crazypants. Those fucking hilljacks don’t ever know what their best interests are.
The drain at the top goes down to the bottom.” That’s pretty much how they are supposed to work……Morons
“We need to pretend to be centrist so we can win before we can go ahead with the same policies as Bern.”
Exactly. It’s pathetic.
Stop with this bullshit. He’s a self-proclaimed socialist. Full stop.
leave it , it looks better,

Spell it out,
What could go better together than socialism and democracy? It’s like mixing shit with ice cream, you end up with something delicious, right?
Hey! You got ice cream in my shit!

I don’t care what they say, that right ther is some funny shit.

If only the Nine would call it gerrymandering.

Bernie would be an electoral catastrophe. There is zero enthusiasm for his platform in most of America, in most demographics, and turnout would remain low. He would cause massive losses down-ticket in precisely the purpling states that Team Blue hopes to shift, hopes to take, hopes to squeak out. The only thing that Bernie can accomplish is making McConnell Lord Chamberlain for Life.
Some progressive entrants to Texas politics agree, saying it’s more about packaging ideas in a way that appeals to the state’s voters.
“When we are introducing these policy ideas, I don’t start off with Medicare for All,” said Jessica Cisneros, a progressive who is challenging Cuellar in the Democratic primary. We talk about “this idea of having health care as a right, so we wouldn’t have to lose a loved one.”
Despite their clashes over ideology, Democrats in Texas do agree on at least one point: the top of the Republican ticket will motivate many voters.
“Texas is obviously not the Bronx,” said George Shipley, a Democratic operative in Austin, who was once an adviser to Gov. Ann Richards. “Texas is very resistant to the type of social programs Bernie offers, but the devil is not Bernie, the devil is Trump.”
Those dummies can’t read between the lines about our plans to completely upend the health insurance market. They’ll swallow that “fairness” stuff hook, line and sinker. And Texans all secretly fear and despise Trump.
Keep telling yourselves that. Everything will fall your way, you can be sure of it.

Similar thing with rent control: CA voters amazingly had the sense to thrash that measure (61% nay, IIRC) but Gov. Gruesome foisted it on us anyway.
NYS is poised to impose universal rent control. Right now it only applies to old buildings in NYC with six units or more. Mind you, in many parts of the state you can’t give apartments away but we must do this now, you see.
SMBD;TIS;TWMDT (“Something must be done”, yada yada.)
62% against.
Also, 4.5m Californians voted for Trump.
First they came for the gig-workers. Somehow I don’t think California Democrats have anything to worry about. They’ll still be getting voted in when people are eating out of dumpsters. They’ll just promise to prog harder.
It’s the fault of that one Republican who still managed to get on the ballot! BLAME HIM!

So how is that not WWI?
My guess would be because it wasn’t one large war, just a bunch of interconnected wars. No side A vs Side B as it were.
30 years war?
The American Revolution was a world war as well. As far as the Brits are concerned, the last shots were two years after Yorktown between English troops and the French in India. I read a damn good book on the American Revolution from the Brit perspective that was published about 50 years ago. I am stuck in DC without access to my “wall of history” so I can’t tell you the details.

How a message of encouragement from Japan made Chinese question their own appreciation to Mandarin
A bit of history. Surprising nobody here relations between Japan and China have not been historically good and this continues to this day. That said relations have improved and is demonstrated that Japan is donating medical supplies and other supplies to help with the coronavirus outbreak. As part of that Japan has written bits of classic Chinese poetry with donations as a way of wishing them well.
Here is where it get interesting. Japan, Hong Kong and Taiwan all utilize traditional Chinese characters. Mind you Japanese doesn’t use all the characters, just some of them, but they are written traditionally. Since Chinese influence heavily impacted Japan and its arts and culture Japan also studies Chinese literature.
So the commie controlled press is now pissed and knocking Japan because in some ways it is better able to relate to its on historical literature better than the current Chinese. Truly no good deed goes unpunished.
They sent China messages in traditional characters?! OMG. That has international incident written all over it.
That’s not really a big deal. The PRC uses them as well, but not for day to day. Problem is it makes the populace one more step removed from its literature pre-1950.
It’s a bit like how my son can’t read the cursive writing from his grandparents.
I’m more imagining the CCP getting bent out of shape over it.
At least they didn’t address the packages to our friends in Manchukuo.
I know nothing of hacking, but it seems to me that asymmetric guerrilla cyber warfare (not organized by the government) might be an effective way to blow the lid off of the control that the Chinese government has over their domestic Internet.

What does the Democratic Party stand for?
That’s easy. They are the party of hate. They hate Donald Trump with the fire of a thousand suns, and, by extension, all those disgusting evil racists and tranny murderers and wife beaters who voted for him instead of the Most Qualified Candidate in the History of Candidates. They hate everybody who has more money, and a nicer house, and a faster car than they do. They hate everybody who doesn’t hate what (and who) they hate.
To be fair, there are some deluded souls who think the Dems are the party of love and compassion as opposed to the greedy, grasping, selfish Republicans. These folks would never endorse violence and wear blinders to the fact that their views can only be legislated at the point of a gun.

It will be the best lap. The classiest.
IIRC Reagan went to the last race that Richard Petty won.
Team Petty was caught cheating in the subsequent teardown: engine displacement larger than rule, largely explaining the day’s easy passing. But it was “win” 200, so Team France did nothing about it: fiasco avoided, associations unblemished. Americans, like all other humans, largely want a king, someone to tell them that little will change, that everything will be alright, so NASCAR clearly made the smart play there.
I for one heartily endorse the France circus: a man has every right to put on a bad play and sell out night after night. I have every right to turn the channel. It’s all good.

re “literally shaking rn”
I went to a therapist yesterday, the same one I have XY with. I forgot how he phrased it, which was much better than whatever I’m going to say, but he said that kids my kids’ age have nothing because they have everything. They don’t have anything of themselves. No confidence. No values (where “values” means something like, “I want to be helpful” or, as I’m sitting here thinking of it right now, perhaps an identity of self, as in, “I’m a funny person and I like to make people laugh.”). So they soak up the external in order to find meaning within themselves.
The instant he pulled out the word “meaning,” I thought of Heroic Mulatto. “Words don’t have meanings. Meanings have words.” It wasn’t quite applicable in this case (so I kept my mouth shut because I was over time).
Participation trophy kids are the parents of most of these kids (we had kids late–we’re much older than my kids’ friends’ parents).
That is not a conclusion, correlation, or cause and effect statement, but it was a thought I had.
There’s a reason that suicide is almost exclusively a first world problem. Once you have all your basic needs attended to, plus most of your nonessential wants, all that’s left are the BIG QUESTIONS. Teenagers are half-finished and not equipped to handle all that.

As far as Bernie goes I’ve been considering voting for him in the primary as I have chosen a Dem ballot this time since I registered independent. I’ve said it a few times and agree completely with this article. Bernie running (and getting the inevitable hard Mondale type smack down) would be the best thing the Dems could realistically hope for. They need to purge the far left shit and that would be the best way to do so. I am also imagining the old Eddie Murphy skit where drunk white people vote for Jessie Jackson and then wake up shocked that he won.

Bernie running (and getting the inevitable hard Mondale type smack down) would be the best thing the Dems could realistically hope for.
I think they would learn less than nothing from that.
Aside from proving how evil the deplorables are, I think it would push them farther and harder to the left. Time is running out. We’ll all die if President Cartoon Villain gets four more years of plunder and pillage.
I think it will be a busy four years for the Secret Service.
Maybe I am wrong, but I don’t think so. The way I see it if the Dems nominate Biden, Klobuchar, or even Mayor Pete the hard left will not will be appeased. When they inevitably lose, that most vocal contingent of their party will blame it on not being “bold” enough. These people actually believe that Bernie really would have won in 2016. Bernie losing badly to Trump would force a reckoning, and that will not lead to the majority of the Dems saying , “well, we should have gone farther left, that why we lost.”of course we are going to get huge helpings of ELECHSHUNS FRAUD and RUSSiANS! But that will happen no matter which Dem loses.
