America Tough -- Thanks Tobey:
I may have said this in the past, but as I look around and read history, I find that as far humans are concerned nothing much has changed except for the additional free time they have on their hands to worry about the same things people used to worry about with less free time. Regardless of technology, for the most part people spend their life trying to survive fiscally and psychologically... and looking for love.
About 91 years ago the20th Amendment was ratified. It was designed to shorten the lame duck period for Prez and Veep and members of Congress. It seems to me that Trump has been a lame duck President for over three years now and is still trying to veto Congressional actions. Just a thought
The rubber band pistol was confiscated from algebra class because it was a weapon of Math disruption.
Talk about schizophrenic – rate cuts, no rate cuts, maybe rate cuts, all leading to an investment psychosis. I think Wall Street needs therapy.
This is actually interesting. Meta is working on technology that will flag images and statements as being AI generated in order to keep electioneering honest. But alas. Many people will prefer the AI falsehoods and run with them. Like, guess who.
Tobey Kieth died today. If you like America tough, then you will like this song which I added to the bottom below our romance song of the day. Good video too.
The Question:
Name ten of the solo singers on the big joint African Hunger effort, We are the World.

Dartmouth athletes have voted to unionize along with other employees of the prestigious University. How would you like to coach a unionized team. Talk about jumping into the nearby Connecticut River.
It looks like Prince William will be King in Training for a while.
A hole has been found in the nudist camp fence. The police are looking into it.
King Charles has cancer and all teh news seems centered around, “Where does Harry fit in.” Harry/Megahn will always sell better because today, Celebrity ules.
Jennifer Crumbley could get up to 60 years in prison. I think that is way to much for her being a negligent mother. This is a dangerous precedent setting decision. And should be reviewed
The NBA in all of its wisdom is going to have some of teh All Star game activities played on a glass LED floor. So they can distract sports fans even more away from the game than they do now with music and flashing lights and giant TV screens. Technology is wonderous, but pure playing of the game is better. How about talking bases in baseball?
No matter how far you push the envelope, it will still be stationary.
“The market slips today because of dimming hopes for a rate cut.” Get over it. There is no imminent rate cut. Listen to Powell. Just invest.
The Answer:
Quincy Jones didn't sing b o but his genius made it happen. As did teh genius of Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie who wrote the song.

You may have noticed some pretty punny sentences up there. I liked all of them and they just happened to be among the first puns ever written in this mess many years ago. Thanks, to a good reader for reigniting the smiles.
And I believe the very first pun I ever wrote in this fine epistle was Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.
Continuing on with a little musical romance building up to next week, here‘s a nice duet between Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes.
