Opening Stuff:
Despite
the rhetoric of Politicians, the heroes march on.
The Patriots with love of country in their hearts have no ideological bounds
when on fiery battlefields defending the freedoms of the USA. They defend all Americans
as one. So, for each bite of a burger or dog on this Memorial Day Weekend, I’m
suggesting we try to remember a soldier, or Sailor or Airforce or Marine or
Coast Guardsmen’s name. Whoever remembers the most gets a personal bag of Cheetos.
No extra points for diversity.
What
are the two main rules in the Army?
1. The Commanding Officer is always right. 2. If
the commanding officer is not right, see #1.
Lots
of people are now beginning to wonder what exactly was on those
30,000 emails that Hillary selectively deleted from her computers. Maybe it
wasn’t just what she said it was. Do you think?
The
Question:
Who are Jake Owen and Angela Paton? Big Money Bonus: Who was the first
Prime Minister of India?

The
Clinton machine is looking embarrassingly weak
in their denials after the IG report of Emails, server and hacking. I think the
days are over when people blindly accept the words of Clintons at face value.
In
case the big retailers still have their heads in the clouds,
the only companies in the sector making good money are the deep discount
sellers like Dollar Store and Odd Lots. Begrudgingly, the big department store
are slowly admitting that people will only consider buying after deep price
cuts. With lower margins, and more customers heading toward the Internet, will
the big anchors be able to afford high Priced mall locations at all. If a developer
makes a lavish proposal to your town to transform a beautiful field of rolling
green and breeze driven daisies into a luxury a mall, beware more than ever
that you are voting for a potential ghost town. Today, you may gain nothing while
losing the character of your home.
Speaking
of getting it on the cheap, beware of the forthcoming Sports
Authority “Liquidation” sale. The liquidators pay a lot of games with suggested
retail pricing so that the best buy may well be down the street at a Dick’s
sale.
From
a reader, “Separated at Birth”: Ruth Buzzy and
Elizabeth Warren.
Congtrats
to the Red Sox James Bradley Junior for his great 29
game hitting streak that ended last night. For me it is good that he isn’t now
working to keep a streak alive and just will be swinging freely.
In
case you need a conversational tidbit for a Memorial day
cookout, it is now known that fruit flies are great at producing large amounts
of sperm. Ain’t the Internet grand?
“Well,”
snarled the tough old Navy Chief to the bewildered
seaman. “I suppose after you get out of the Navy you’ll just be waiting for me
to die so you can come and piss on my grave.” “Not me, Chief!” the seaman
replied. “Once I get out of the navy, I’m never going to stand in line again.” Let’s hear for the grizzled old Navy Chiefs
who make men out of boys.
Reading
Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--As I have said, I have never been able to get through
an Alice in Wonderland” or “Through the looking Glass.” Book, play or film. This
visually amazing version of the old tale lacks everything else, and the characters
fail to make it work at all. Definitely not on my list. Humpty-Dumpty I
understand.
--A Bigger Splash with a good cast – Tilde Swenson,
Ralph Fiennes and more – is a great little drame that will irritate you along
the way. Tilde a former rock legend and her new hubby a super rock producer have
retired delightfully to a beautiful island off Italy. They do nothing but have
sex, dine eloquently and absorb beauty. Enter Tilde’s former rock star boy
friend (Fiennes) and his “Daughter”. He becomes the guest from hell, disrupting
their paradise. This suspenseful mystery Looks Good.
--Love and Friendship is a wonderful, delightful
and quite funny Jane Austin Adaptation. The period film is about Widow Lady
Susan Vernon who visits the estate of her in-laws “to wait out the rumors of
her dalliances.” While there she decides to find a husband for herself and a
future for her reluctant daughter. It gets complicated when she attracts the
attentions of a young handsome Reginald, the rich but silly Sir James and the
Handsome, but married Lord Manwaring. Critic and viewers alike “Love” it.
--X-Men: Apocalypse is but a fair movie that will probably
thrill X-men lovers.
The
Answer:
I’m always as surprised as perhaps you are to
learn who these people are in the Tids-Q section. Jake Owen is a country singer
who gained fame with his first big #1 hit Barefoot Blue Jean Night. His other
number one’s were Alone with You, The One that Got Away and Anywhere with You.
Angela Paton is one of those great character actors who you grew to love for her
role as Mrs. Lancaster, the Innkeeper who greeted Bill Murray each new morning in
Ground Hog day. Big Money Bonus: The First Prime Minister of India was Jawaharlal Nehru.
He gave America jackets that made men look bad.
The
Patriots blood is the seed of Freedom’s tree.
Enjoy
this weekend, and remember…E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!
