For Making Up Our Own Minds:
We
are building weapons and massing armies, but the biggest
threat of all could be the silent one, that gutless destroyer that roams in dark
places on the internet…internationally and domestically. Why am I not seeing a bigger
Exec, Congressional push on this?
I’ve
been taking some courses on Osama Bin Ladin which
necessarily includes Islam’s negative views of American culture. I’m told that
many of Islam laws are designed to help people protect them from themselves;
that the great difference between to the two cultures is American freedom of
choice versus no choice. So how come laws are being passed to ban foods I like,
the convenience of plastic bags; smoking and guns – to protect Americans from themselves.
The
EU revealed a plan to tax big US Tech Companies Like
Google, FB, Amazon and Others. Is this the next shot fired in a trade war? How
messy will it get?
The
Question:
Chip Taylor was quite the song writer, Name a few f
his best. Bonus: What is fascinating
about Chip Taylor’s family relationships.

The
hot new dish foodies are trying to foist upon the trendy is
called Shashuka. It’s basically a Mediterranean dish of eggs poached in a
crushed tomato stew with chopped bell peppers, sliced Serrano Chiles, and
seasoned with Coriander, Cumin and Paprika. It is a pretty basic dish that becomes
a fad mainly because of a cool middle eastern sounding name. No thanks
If
you ever decide to make a cross-country Zoo adventure, you
might want to use as your check list the oldest Zoos in America: They say that
the Museum of Science in Boston is the oldest, but I don’t classify it as a pure
unadulterated Zoo. Of those, the oldest is the Philadelphia Zoo, followed by
Central Park (NYC) Zoo, Lincoln Park (Chicago). Roger Williams (Providence RI),
Cincinnati, Buffalo (NY), Maryland (Baltimore), Detroit and #10 Dallas. The
well-known Bronx Zoo is 12, and Boston’s real Zoo (Franklyn Park) is 16.
In
case you haven’t noticed, it is asparagus season in the north.
Buy stock in hollandaise sauce ready-packs.
Did
Carly Fiorina fail in her presidential run because she’s a
dedicated adherent to ethics?
In
the olden days big fires ruined big cities on a regular
basis – Like Boston’s 1760 fire that destroyed 376 structures or the 1788 fire
in New Orleans that destroyed 856 structures. I wonder if anybody blamed that on
climate change.
It
is easy to believe that the climate is changing. It is
hard to believe the rants of climate change activists.
When
two magicians saw something special in each other on
their first date, it was love at first slight!
It’s
really awfully hard to be a good old fashion surreptitious
criminal anymore.
We
used
to have weather, but now we have events.
The
Answer:
Wild Thing was one of Chip’s best, but I always
liked Angel in the Morning. Some others are Willie Nelson’s He Sits at Your Table,
I Can’t Let Go, I Can Make it with You, Any Way That You Want Me, Try (A little
Bit Harder) and Son Of a Rotten Gambler. His songs were sung By the Hollies,
The Troggs, Willie, Anne Murray, Janis Joplin, Emmy Lou Harris, Evie Sands,
Jimi Hendrix and Merilee Rush. Bonus: I went to High School with Taylor and he
was a great glover, in fact originally looking for a pro career until he found
his mark in Music. His real name is John Wesley Voight, and yes, he is Angelina
Jole’s Uncle and Jon’s Brother. He had another brother Barry, who I knew well.
He was a quiet guy giving the younger two the spotlight.
I
relish freedom of choice.
“Any
way
you want me”.
