The Academy Awards took place on Sunday night and as usual, I went out of my way not to watch. Why is it that so called ‘creatives’ always feel the need to get together, pat themselves on the backs and tell the world how special they are? Possible low self esteem? You don’t see awards ceremonies for plumbers, factory workers or garbage men and I would say that each of those groups do more to benefit society than any of the people that play pretend for a living. It’s not bad enough that they’re obsessed with themselves, but they also believe that their ability to act somehow gives them the right to lecture the rest of us about politics and …

I posted the above on Facebook, but I’m putting it here too since I have no doubt it will soon disappear into the ether. It’s scary and disgraceful what’s going on in the world right now. A small percentage of the population is in the process of destroying freedoms and rights that make out country and civilization unique. Maybe they truly believe their making the world a better place but I suspect that for the most part they’re just a bunch of insecure losers with pathetic lives that get off destroying people for their own sadistic gratification.
We all knew this was coming but it still hurts. Limbaugh was an incredible man that was both inciteful and entertaining. He stood up when most others were afraid to do so and let the rest of us know that it was ok to be conservative. For over thirty plus years, five days a week, three hours a day he educated and entertained us and it never got boring. That’s a pretty big accomplishment. I’m convinced that the country would be in a much worse place today if it wasn’t for Rush. He slowed down the take over by the left and trained a generation of people how to fight for what you believe in. Thank you Rush. The world …
I was never a big fan of Ken Jennings. He always seemed a bit arrogant and to top it off, had that Howdy Doody look going against him. When they announced him as the potential successor for Alex Trebek I cringed. Jennings? How could you even consider him? Turns out I was wrong. Jennings has turned out to be perfect in the role. He knows the game, has the proper credentials and seems really comfortable hosting the show. The producers shouldn’t look any further, they s should stop looking and make Jennings the full time host.
I’ve been thinking about putting up a new antenna for my HF radio and did a Google search to see what was available in the way of masts. A hit came up for Home Depot which carried the Channel Master – Universal 25 ft. Indoor/Outdoor Telescoping Mast. Picking up a mast at Home Depot would be quick and easy so I clicked on the link and here is what I found in the description… Just incredible. We’ve gotten to a point where using the term ‘guy wire’ apparently isn’t inclusive enough so we have to call them ‘person wires’ instead. I wonder what moron made this decision. These people are just frigging insane. Next time I go to the supermarket …
I was sad to see that Rose Marie, best known for playing Sally Rogers on the Dick Van Dyke show, died yesterday. That said, 94 is a pretty good run. I’ve included a link to a video of Rose Marie when she was known as Baby Rose Marie. The video is from 1929 and I find it astounding how it feels like it’s from ancient times. It’s amazing that one person could live in a world where so much has changed in their life time.
The above graphic was a headline in an article published on the New York Times website today. Note the subheading: “One man is building a house so enormous, and so absurdly lavish, that it may be the ultimate symbol of our age of thirst, excess and inequality.” They couldn’t focus on the architectural achievement, or the number of people that will be employed building this house and maintaining it after it’s built. Instead they had to go for the class envy angle. To the leftist crazies it’s always about jealousy; if someone has more that someone else it’s just not fair. They don’t care if the person that has more, has more because they’ve worked harder, took bigger risks or …
OK, not all millennials are like this but there are an awful lot of them that are. I worked for an engineering firm a few years back that was trying to hire a summer software intern but not a single candidate was willing to work a forty hour work week.
I got pulled into one of those click-bait slide shows this morning showing pictures of stars “like you’ve never seen them.” One of the pictures was of a Yvonne Craig who played Bat Girl in the 60’s television series Batman. She was quite lovely, curvy in all the right places and was wearing a bikini showing off her killer body. Being a guy, I was curious if she ever posed nude so I did a Google search. Somehow I ended up typing Yvonne De Carlo (Lily Munster from the Munster’s TV show) instead of Yvonne Craig while doing the search. Who knew there was such a thing a Munster’s porn? While somewhat disturbing, some of it was actually quite creative; …
