You and Rose are, of course, both welcome to vote for the Presidential candidate of your choice. I suspect no matter which one wins, I'll be saying, "I told you so!"

How far will Big Brother and Big Tech take this censorship thing? https://heavy.com/news/2020/07/americas-frontline-doctors-website-expired-down/

Maybe it needs to be played everywhere!

I see you used a "digital" camera! :-)

Huh?

I'm sure Blair Kullman will tell you that's what my landings are like. :-)

Too bad it hasn't been made since Katrina. I never got to try it because I could never find it. But a friend was saving a four-pack of it for me in Metairie. But he ended up pitching it along with the rest of the very ripe contents of his powerless fridge after the storm.

Taste anything like Dixie White Chocolate Moose? :-)

Thanks, Joe Reilly. I knew that face looked familiar. And did you mean "airborne in 1972"? That's when I was there.

Vented N95 masks protect the wearer far better than any surgical or cloth mask. They don't protect people in the area not wearing a mask. But if everybody wore one, its likely far fewer people would be infected because they would be better protected with the N95 than other types. But, as Dr. Fauci would be quick to point out, we've never had a peer-reviewed controlled study of that scenario.

Ah, okay.

I dunno. The guy I remember doing mornings there looked a lot like the guy in the photo above, but I don't remember his name. There was a Joe Reilly involved in original WWOM ownership, but I don't recall the morning guy being an owner or part owner. When WWOM first went on the air, I minded its automation and handled required transmitter inspections for a couple of months as I transitioned from KIRL, St. Louis to WIXO, New Orleans. Ironically enough, WIXO's former call letters were WWOM.

Did Ed Reilly ever do mornings at WWOM-FM when it first went on the air in 1972?

I've read much of the Treatise. The text is here: http://www.gutenberg.org/files/7370/7370-h/7370-h.htm Would you care to elucidate Shapiro's alleged fallacies of interpretation?

I had seen it four or five times before I saw it at the Saenger Orleans in 1973. It was a brand new 70mm print! Gorgeous! All the previous times I'd seen it it looked like the print had been through a war.

Indeed! :-)

Yeah, I watched the whole video with Dr. Bartlett. Vewwwwy intewesting!

But this guy says no they don't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rz50p9v86wc

These apparently help, too. Medications for high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). BUt I'm a DJ, not a docor, so what do I know? https://www.cureus.com/articles/29004-acetazolamide-nifedipine-and-phosphodiesterase-inhibitors-rationale-for-their-utilization-as-adjunctive-countermeasures-in-the-treatment-of-coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19

In my time, WOKR had 2 TR-70's like the machine in the photo, an earlier TR-4 model VTR, and two film chains for 16mm film projectors [3] and 35mm slide projectors [2]. No computer graphics in 1968 and 1969, of course, so station IDs and text overlays were on 35mm slides). The station also had an ancient RCA TRT-1B vacuum-tube based monochrome VTR. Occupying 4 double racks, that huge monster was in an engineering room across the hall from master control. It was mainly used for recording ABC network news feeds.

One thing about Boom Boom. He could make it exciting to go to your mother's funeral!

I think they call this Prohibition. Isn't there a Constitutional amendment about that?

Just what I'd expect from a strongly Democrat county. Remember when Sarah Palin warned about death panels?

Then here's more you won't believe, even though it refers to "unnamed sources," just like your beloved New York Times always does. The declassified notes of FBI Agent Joe Pientka are certainly real, though. And stay tuned for the John Durham indictments. https://www.newsmax.com/politics/foxnews-trump-FBI/2020/07/23/id/978742/

Some of the evidence is laid out here. Listen carefully. https://www.facebook.com/dan.bongino/videos/580701175865365

Just down the street from WIXO's studios!

Nobody really knows, but that's the last estimate I saw.

Jud Hindes Ah, compare Trump to Hitler. Always a winner! This while Democrat mayors laugh at their city's slaughters.

Got a similar list of Joe Biden's accomplishments? Let's see it. Maybe I'll change my mind about for whom I'm going to vote in November. Go ahead; I'll wait...

And every pool has pee in it, yet we continue to swim. :-) https://bgr.com/2017/03/02/how-much-pee-is-in-a-pool-study-science/

Take five, Thom!

Just round up all 22 million of them like FDR did the Japanese in WWII. Put them in camps in a solidly red state. They don't get to vote because they're not citizens, but then that state gets the extra 28 extra Congressional representatives. We just have to figure out how to feed them. How about a wealth tax on Hollywood Democrats? :-)

Nothing. Me just trying to sound like a disc jockey.

But the robber had celiac disease. The gluten in the pizza could have killed him. The pizza-thrower has been charged with attempted murder by the St. Louis prosecutor. :-)

Bill Drake was a famous radio format consultant of the 60's and 70's. Before playing an oldie, his stations ran a sounder consisting of a tympani roll followed by Bill Drake himself saying , "Seven (or however many years it was back to that particular oldie) years ago today!" KHJ in Los Angeles was the most well-known Drake format station. You can hear an example of it somewhere during the KHJ Robert W. Morgen aircheck at https://jdthedj.com/Airchecks#KHJ if you're interested.

On a Rocky Mountain high?

So where is that--Seattle? Or Cleveland?

Cool!

I'd have been there, too, but I had to work at WOKR-TV that weekend.

If I make any more money from radio, I'll have to pay the wealth tax! :-)

Jennifer, I figured, but once I got turned off by the obvious outdated photo, I didn't bother with the article.

Great shot!

Minnesota already has somebody. I figure there are more nude beaches down here in my part of the country. :-)

How come the people in the photo are wearing heavy coats in July? No leaves on the tree, either.

Fauci is obviously not driven by data and science. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/peteraldhous/coronavirus-maps-charts-us-cities-deaths

Just visit a Trump campaign Web site near you. :-)

Nah. I can get fake news almost everywhere.

She might, eh, Rose Fogg?

The last issue I saw was the free one Jan Wenner sent me telling me to vote for John Kerry.

Hey, that’s my daughter’s birthday! It was for her! She didn’t get to go, though.

Well, I'm glad you were able to get masks some kind of way. Rose has been making them.

About 41 years too late. :-(

For those who get more from a video than the printed word:. https://www.facebook.com/chip216/videos/1627466137402565

Tom, how's the mask supply for front line folks in Florida these days? Any better than it was?

Here's the best I know. It's Vanderbilt Professor Carol Swain again. I know you've already dismissed PragerU as an "unreliable source." But these words are Ms. Swain's own, not Dennis Prager's, so any disagreement you have with her facts or logic should be directed to her. https://youtu.be/u_TuuL9z_js

It must be a core of one, then. Strom Thurmond was the *only* Southern Democrat to move to the Republican party. https://newstalk1130.iheart.com/featured/common-sense-central/content/2018-05-01-the-myth-of-the-republican-democrat-switch/

It's art, right? :-)

Only because there's no key of R(rrrr).

Learning this is ^so exciting!^

Oops. Sorry. We made a mistake. Er, I mean 33 mistakes. :-)

Country, maybe.

Looks like a columnist at one of your bias chart's "Most Reliable" outlets has had enough, as of today. https://www.bariweiss.com/resignation-letter

LOL! Yup! :-)

You're welcome.

I was wrong. Turns out MSNBC, NPR, CBS, ABC, and NBC are among the worst. AP is only about as far left as Fox News is to the right. Of course, my references are to a different media bias chart. The one I use was created by ex-CBS reporter Sharyl Atkisson, who should at least know something about how biased CBS is. I'll just leave it right here. https://sharylattkisson.com/2019/04/media-bias-chart-analysis/

Although every time I see a graphic about this, the numbers are a little different. Last time, Trump only had 11.

One grocery chain where I went to college was called "Albany Public Market." Their signs comprised individually illuminated big red letters. I wish I had a camera to capture the one nearest me with the "L" in "PUBLIC" burned out. :-)

I already refuse to shop at Wal*Mart. Now what do I do?

Only the cat box stincts.

I'll take that as a "no."

Touch and geauxs may be performed only at airports south of I-12. :-)

It wants me to sign up for a free Spotify account.

Tom Downs, impugning the source is not a credible response. Got any substantive arguments against the facts or logic presented?

That's been the Dems talking point for years. Here's the truth: https://www.prageru.com/video/whos-more-compassionate-the-left-or-the-right/

Ok. Gotcha.

You mean with the old spooky swamp label?

Mind if I have a Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager while I still can?

Jack was also the official photographer for WPTR. He took my photo for the WPTR Super Sound Survey.

The idea is to make that stall warning horn go off at 2 inches off the runway. Doesn't always work out that way. I hadn't flow since before the virus, so I was a little rusty on these two. Didn't quite have the sight picture back as to how tall the landing gear was. Could have held it off longer.

It's how the blade looks from inside the food processor. :-)

My N95 was given to me by my employer in 2005 after Katrina. So mine was meant for me.

Of course, it's a mask, not a gaiter.

N95's are made by 3M in Minnesota.

We got a new Optimod installed at WRNO-FM in New Orleans in the early 80's. By sheer happenstance, that locking panel was keyed identically to the studio building's elevator. Every jock had a key to it!

Well, Forbes and the WSJ seem a little less grim than the NYT. Thanks.

I didn't say I agree with my "random guy." Nor did I say I disagree with the NYT economist. But I will say I'd be inclined to agree with a scientist well-versed in matters of scientific analysis , and leave the economy to the economists.

It might not be as bad as the NYT economist reporter paints it. This analysis from a UK based scientist from just over a week ago concludes, "In the absence of a change in trends, it seems likely that the epidemic will peter out after a thousand or so more deaths, implying an overall infection fatality rate of 0.06% of the population (0.04% excluding COVID-19 deaths of people in care homes). This is broadly comparable to excess deaths from influenza infections over two successive above-average seasons, such as 2016–17 plus 2017–18." https://www.nicholaslewis.org/the-progress-of-the-covid-19-epidemic-in-sweden-an-analysis/

You mean like people starting every statement they make with the interjection, "So..."?

"You're just wasting your breath, and that's no great loss, either!" Oh, sorry. That's Groucho Marx.

Well, what does he expect? The illiterates are all Apple users! :-)

Yeah, it was. Like I said, New Year's Eve is a much better time for droning fireworks.

"The study also comes as Ochsner Health announced it would be restricting COVID-19 tests at its hospitals and emergency rooms to only those with symptoms — a response to a shortage of testing supplies amid rising demand."

Well, that's one way to boost the fatality rate percentage--only test those with symptoms

Eugene P Templet Greg Koontz did it at the Hammond Air Show in 2018. https://youtu.be/Anyg53mnGso?t=2190

My public elementary school bus brought kids to the Catholic school (St. Rita;s) before dropping us off at our school across the street. I don't know if it was a contract with the public school district or not.

And today I was triggered by an Internet link to "The Ten Most Unique Automobiles." How can some things be more "one-of-a-kind" than others?

BTW, it's been in many dictionaries for quite some time.

LOL! I've *always* used my Funk and Wagnalls, ever since "Laugh-In"!

I prefer classic rock anthems.

Thanks, Joan!

Okay, thanks, guys. I heard Congressman Devin Nunes say he was moving from Twitter to Parler. But its Community Guidelines didn't impress me.

A photographer would say it's got a nice bokeh, and a florist would say it could make a nice bouquet. :-)

Must have a few Utah weddings in that number.

Heard about the construction company with the 30-year warranty? They really stand behind their erections!

I get it! :-)

Okay. Better than MeWe?

So is Parler like Facebook or Twitter?

Then why did she need the sign to explain?

The Minneapolis City Council is showing us the way. The answer is privatization. Everybody hires their own private security force. If you work in government, the cost is subsidized by taxpayers. https://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/504831-minneapolis-city-council-members-get-private-security-detail-after

And simply saying "Black Lives Matter, Too" would have eliminated all the ambiguity.

`My first paid radio gig was at 50 kW WPTR in Albany, NY while I was in college in the early 70's. WPTR was directional to the northeast on 1540 kHz. It was known for getting into Boston at night more strongly than WMEX on 1510. I've often wondered if I ever competed with Woo Woo.

At least it's not following Harvard Law Review's plan to turn DC into 127 new states with two Senators each. https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvard-releases-proposal-to-divide-washington-d-c-into-127-new-states-to-eliminate-electoral-college?itm_source=parsely-api%3Futm_campaign%3Ddw_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=housefile&utm_content=non_insiders&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_0hxJY4nOhn7Gft2Mj8ZjzvZQLk-U7skuYHNxmPJoMIINQgFjxYf0PZTIRC7qztDlMiGVXBiA7XbnP2PgTBIy6nK_Zj78upwQbgZFR73m_3xQGsVI&_hsmi=82128955

We knew you'd be marryin' Marian!

Cory Savoie, under the give-it-back-to-Maryland scenario, I think Maryland gets one more House representative due to the additional population.

Car horns will continue to be honky. But Chargers and Challengers don't have them. They say "Dodge" on the front.

Great photos! Happy Anniversary!

Looks like I was view #1. Great job, Jon!

I certainly would hope it's satire. Here's the original piece from the Harvard Law Review. Do they do satire? https://harvardlawreview.org/2020/01/pack-the-union-a-proposal-to-admit-new-states-for-the-purpose-of-amending-the-constitution-to-ensure-equal-representation/

Couldn't read it because of WaPo's pay wall. At least the Democrats' newly passed (in the House) DC statehood bill doesn't follow the Harvard approach and make DC 127 new states! https://www.dailywire.com/news/harvard-releases-proposal-to-divide-washington-d-c-into-127-new-states-to-eliminate-electoral-college?itm_source=parsely-api%3Futm_campaign%3Ddw_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=housefile&utm_content=non_insiders&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-_0hxJY4nOhn7Gft2Mj8ZjzvZQLk-U7skuYHNxmPJoMIINQgFjxYf0PZTIRC7qztDlMiGVXBiA7XbnP2PgTBIy6nK_Zj78upwQbgZFR73m_3xQGsVI&_hsmi=82128955

I wonder if the lock company will be changing its name, like Dixie Beer is doing.

Will all women named "Dixie" (or men if there are any), be required to change their names as well?

That sucks. :-(

Wow! That's a collection of radio talent!

Hey, does Facebook have the same deal? I was called a racist today. How do I collect?

Nah. I'd go with Al Duckworth. :-)

Great Ooga Booga!

So many crosses to bare.

Russ, my 11th grade US history teacher didn't enlighten me on all of Thomas Jefferson's progeny. I sides-stepped because I felt unqualified. Sorry. I'll check PragerU and see if they have anything on it.

Indeed it is. Your daughter posted that one for me quite a while ago.

Russ, speaking of insults, I'm sure the folks here will be happy to disparage Walter Williams just as they did Carol Swain. This from his column today: https://townhall.com/columnists/walterewilliams/2020/06/24/insults-to-black-history-n2571095

And, Tom Jefferson, did you know your namesake was a slave holder? Rhetorical question, because a real question like that would be implying that you are stupid.

Timothy Andrew Daley , now you're catching on! Republicans good; Democrats bad!

Timothy Andrew Daley, if you'll read my original comment, you'll see that I had assumed the black person knew that Confederates were mostly Democrats because I was asking if I could "remind" him of that. I am glad to see you know the 1870's Democratic party in the South was a racist organization and that the Radical Republicans were the ones supporting equal rights. Democrats founded the Ku Klux Klan. But where you go astray is in propounding the myth that the parties somehow exchanged ideologies since then. It was Democrats who failed to support civil rights legislation as late as the 60's. KKK Grand Poobah Robert Byrd remained a Democrat for life. In fact, almost no Democrats changed party affiliations following the war. Certainly few Republicans did. Black political scientist Carol Swain explains: https://www.prageru.com/video/why-did-the-democratic-south-become-republican/ To answer your other questions and statements one at a time:

1. What makes you think the Black person hasn't studied the history??
Nothing.
2. Why would they need you, a white person, to "explain it to them"?
I never said they would have such a need. I was merely offering a reminder, as I explained to you. And since #Blexit and #WalkAway, many don't even need a reminder.
3. Why do you think you understand their history better than they do.?
I don't. You are just assuming I think that. Do you have a decgree in psychology or mind reading?
4. Your comment reeks of implicit racism, the assumption that you understand the history of racism and the Civil War better than an average Black citizen is an implied assumption of white superiority.
So now we have a different term to define: "implicit racism"? How about if you just tell me your definition of racism. Start with the online dictionary of your choice, and let me know how your definitions (and variations such as "casual" and "implicit") differ from the base definition.
5. In addittion (sic) your attempt to hide this in the disguise of humor (although it wasn't funny) simply is an attempt to demean and belittle the feelings that such statues create in Black people.
There you go, mind reading again. You know nothing about me.

Well, @Bill Barrow, I'm afraid you're going to have to explain exactly what "context" I have "distorted" by asking if I could let the black person know that a Confederate with his own statue is very likely a Democrat. To me, it seems I would just be letting him or her know the truth. And I'm particularly interested in your definition of "casual racism," and just how, exactly, it differs from--what--"formal racism"?

I thought about it. Would it be okay if I remind the black person that the memorialized Confederate was a Democrat? :-)

Well, the DC5 covered Bobby Day, the Contours, and Chuck Berry, so why not the Vogues? :-)

I've said this before. They're doing a terrible job of tracking the numbers. Classification criteria have never been finalized, changing arbitrarily. https://dailycaller.com/2020/06/22/scott-atlas-texas-coronavirus-herd-immunity/

I'll bet the cops took his penis and kept it as evidence.

Go PLUG!

No. I meant to tell you the other day I had seen this chart, and realized the data I quoted you earlier were outdated. As of today, the CDC US COVID death count is 106,790. That seems to include death from any cause where presence of coronavirus was confirmed or inferred from circumstances. Through April 4, CDC estimates 24,000 – 62,000 US influenza deaths. We don't yet know the current influenza death count. But it looks like COVID is ahead by a healthy, or rather unhealthy, margin. Let me know when COVID deaths hit the 2.2 million mark we were told to expect a few months ago. So you win this one, Dear. :-)

Meep-meep!

Like buttah!

But judges wear robes so they can change their underwear quicker. :-)

I'll bet these would be right up Margaret Orr's alley! :-)

Point Peninsula, just south of Cape Vincent. My parents had a place there, too, just two lots away from my uncle's.

Drove it over the camera. Yup!

You knew I'd have photos!

That he was. But I could have disowned him for replacing the Dodge Polara with that ugly black Mercury!

Has some of my photography in it!

Tom Clark, I know what my link says. I actually read it. My point was to illustrate how the "experts" have been all over the map on masks and their efficacy, especially the CDC. I wear a mask when recommended. But whose recommendation do I follow?

Here's what an OSHA-certified guy says about masks:

I am OSHA 10&30 certified. I know some of you are too. I don’t really know WHY OSHA hasn’t come forward and stopped the nonsense BUT
I wanna cover 3 things
• N95 masks and masks with exhale ports
• surgical masks
• filter or cloth masks
Okay so upon further inspection OSHA says some masks are okay and not okay in certain situations.
If you’re working with fumes and aerosol chemicals and you give your employees the wrong masks and they get sick you can be sued.
• N95 masks: are designed for CONTAMINATED environments. That means when you exhale through N95 the design is that you are exhaling into contamination. The exhale from N95 masks are vented to breath straight out without filtration. They don’t filter the air on the way out. They don’t need to.
Conclusion: if you’re in Stewart’s and the guy with Covid has N95 mask his covid breath is unfiltered being exhaled into Stewart’s (because it was designed for already contaminated environments, it’s not filtering your air on the way out)
• Surgical Mask: these masks were designed and approved for STERILE environments. The amount of particles and contaminants in the outside and indoor environments where people are CLOGGING these masks very Very quickly. The moisture from your breath combined with the clogged mask will render it “useless” IF you come in contact with Covid and your mask traps it You become a walking virus dispenser. Everytime you put your mask on you are breathing the germs from EVERYWHERE you went. They should be changed or thrown out every “20-30 minutes in a non sterile environment”
Cloth masks: today three people pointed to their masks as they walked by me entering Lowe’s. They said “ya gotta wear your mask BRO” I said very clearly “those masks don’t work bro, in fact they MAKE you sicker” they “pshh’d” me.
By now hopefully you all know CLOTH masks do not filter anything. You mean the American flag one my aunt made? Yes. The one with sunflowers that looks so cute? Yes. The bandanna, the cut up t-shirt, the scarf ALL of them offer NO FILTERING whatsoever. As you exhale you are ridding your lungs of contaminants and carbon dioxide. Cloth masks trap this carbon dioxide the best. It actually risks health. The moisture caught in these masks can become mildew ridden over night. Dry coughing, enhanced allergies, sore throat are all symptoms of a micro-mold in your mask.
Ultimate Answer: N95 blows the virus into the air from a contaminated person.
The surgical mask is not designed for the outside world and will not filter the virus upon inhaling through it. It’s filtration works on the exhale. (Like a vacuum bag it only works one way)
Cloth masks are WORSE than none.
The CDC wants us to keep wearing masks. The masks don’t work.
Wash your hands. Sanitize your hands. Don’t touch stuff. Wash your phone. Don’t touch people. And keep your distance. Why? Because your breath stinks, your deodorant is failing, your shoes are old and stink, that shirts not clean, I like my space. Trust me I can hear you from here. Lots of reasons. But trust me. The masks do not work.
*Occupational Safety & Hazard Association sited.
The top American organization for safety.
They regulate and educate asbestos workers, surgical rooms, you name it.
If your mask gives you security wear it, just know it is a false sense of security.

You're nothing but trouble! :-) What happens if you click on the three little dots on the right side of the player? Do you gat an option to download? If so, take it. What browser and antivirus do you use? If it's HTML5 compatible, it should play just fine.

Wow! This article has more disclaimers on what they've discovered than my home owner's insurance policy! :-)

Thanks for the link, Bob. Now I have to buy it immediately, or keep the Web page open forever so the price doesn't go up! :-) But I'll bet you and I can do voiceovers cheaper!

How 'bout that? Radio has "pukers," and railroads have "foamers."

So it will be so hot businesses will light themselves on fire? :-)

But what about the salesmen who'd come in 5 minutes before your quitting time and want you to cut a concert spot with 49 different music clips (because they were the client's favorites), and copy that's way too long, and it has to get on the air tonight?

of course, he did have bad breath and bad feet from all that shoeless walking. That's why they called him the super-calloused fragile mystic hexed with halitosis.

What kind of points--hollow points?

You should mention that to Robert Reich so he can change the wording in his post so it doesn't sound like it was the City of Atlanta that closed all those polling places.

Nope. Sounds like a city run by a Democrat mayor.

I know you're not arguing that BLM asks ActBlue to pass its donations on to the Trump campaign.

The professor does not allege that donations to BLM go directly to the DNC. He says, "All donations to the official BLM website are immediately redirected to ActBlue Charities, an organization primarily concerned with bankrolling election campaigns for Democrat candidates. Donating to BLM today is to indirectly donate to Joe Biden’s 2020 campaign."

Check the ActBlue Web site, and you'll find this headline: "Powering Democratic candidates, committees, parties, organizations, and c4s around the country." Seems like the professor has it exactly right.

I tried that on the I-10 bridge over City Park Lake. But I chickened out. https://jdthedj.com/Fun3

Unless ABC News let's us know exactly how their survey question was worded, we'll never know what those people were thinking about when they answered it. Generally speaking, if you have to explain your slogan, it's not a good slogan.

But for us, the question is: what did we know, and when did we forget it?

Perfect, Jan! The idea is to use it to identify the groups like "TV Folks," "B-97," "WQUE," "The Zephyr," "Radio Newspeople," etc.

Bummer, Cedric. Brian Gorr and I league bowled with Benji for a season in Slidell.

Except for Obamagate. That one is real! :-)

Thanks for what was indeed a good read, Damian. I'm sure it's heartfelt on the author's part, and understandable. He almost lost me, though, at his unsupported assertion that "Property taxes, a structural form of racism meant to allow segregation to endure..." Property taxes have existed seemingly forever, and have only one goal: raise money for a government to spend on its functions (or, where corruption exists, those in power). Property taxes were a thing long before segregation was even a concept. But, overall, an interesting piece.

We do indeed see differences rather than similarities. It's natural. I'd like to think we can get over it, as do you. But as long as politicians who exploit that tendency exist ( I think you can infer which party I'm talking about), racism will continue. I'm not optimistic.

The point of my post was to expose my feeling that my black friends might be better off with the party of Lincoln rather than the party of the Klan. Until COVID, they *were* a lot better off with the lowest black (and Hispanic, Asian, youth, and female) unemployment in history, plus generally improving wage levels. Incarceration levels are lowering thanks to the First Step program.

But Facebook is probably not the venue in which to do that. Censorship and rejection of differing opinions are obstacles. I've had better luck in face-to-face discussions. I think I even convinced one of my black bowling teammates that Trump was not out to get him!

But "it" starts with "i."

Comrade DeBlasio seems to think he runs NYC. I will stipulate that Miami doesn't seem to be quite that bad.

I plan on meddling in this election all by myself, thank you!

Well, I said it exists. Last time I checked, Miami was affected, and run by Democrats.

As usual, The Tampa Bay Times confuses "percentage of population" vs. "percentage of police encounters." Here's what the Washington Post, the University of Pennsylvania, the FBI, and others found: https://www.dailywire.com/news/5-statistics-you-need-know-about-cops-killing-aaron-bandler

These are medallions of marinated pork flavored with what we call "the Holy Trinity" of Creole and Cajun cooking, onion, celery, and bell pepper. Ours were over rice for dinner, but folks have them over grits for breakfast or brunch, too. And some folks use beef or veal. Pronounced "GREE-odd."

Studio B and Bob Fairchild's drapes!

It was!

I'll take that as a "no."

With which thing that Drew said do you disagree--that he'd never agree with disrespecting the flag, or his apology for saying that?

Yeah, but nobody's talking about defunding everywhere.

If you ask me, the whole idea of immunity flies in the face of the "no-one-is-above-the-law" concept.

Be careful what you wish for.

Great job, as usual, Bummer!

Especially when the woman said, "Damn! My cough has gotten worse since I got back from China." :-)

The point is that without evidence of collusion, the spying on the Trump campaign and the entire Mueller investigation should never have existed. And attempting to clear yourself of a crime that did not exist can in no way be deemed obstruction. Just stay tuned for John Durham.

Hey, you remembered! Good job, Bob! Just invite Karl Rove.

Don't we need to condemn the rioters for committing violence against all Americans, including protesters? Or am I missing something?

Are you doing okay these days, Dave?

Do it! I ran into Mick Fleetwood at WRNO one time, but I think that was when they were in town for a concert at Lakefront Arena in the 80's. He was coming out of the studio after an interview. I don't recollect who was on the air. Billy Burnette had replaced Buckingham. Talked to John McVie at the arena after the show, but nothing on tape.

Awesome, Dave! Does it sound the same with a Dixie Blackened Voodoo Lager bottle? :-)

Looks like the Russians are meddling in your garden! 😄

Yup. Might not have happened if he hadn't cancelled the Constellation program.

I have!

They broke into the NFL Hall of Fame, too, and stole the Atlanta Falcons' Super Bowl Trophy. Oh wait. Never mind. :-)

Moot questions, Elaine. Now the W. H. O. recommends that only sick people, or people caring for sick people, wear masks. But since Trump hates the W. H.

CO2, methane, and and water vapor are all greenhouse gases that trap atmospheric heat. But methane and water vapor are in much higher percentages than CO2's measley 0.04%. And studies show that rising temperatures happen BEFORE increasing CO2 levels, not afterward. This one concludes, "It is quite clear from the data that CO2 follows temperature with highly variable time lags depending upon whether the climate is warming or cooling." https://cornwallalliance.org/2017/06/global-temperature-and-co2-which-drives-which/

Does this mean they'll be fact-checking EVERY post? To hear Mark Zuckerburg's interview with Dana Perino today, he doesn't want Facebook to be "the arbiter of truth." But it's very hard to reconcile Facebook's actions with that pronouncement.

And their fact-check conclusion: "Our Rating: True
The Woodstock festival of 1969 did occur amid a global pandemic and no stay at home orders were enforced. "

I wonder where they're made. Probably not at The Little Chippery in Gramercy.

A bit later...

The assertion that CO2 is the thermostat for the planet is completely unsupported. The whole fact-check is a crock of shit by the usual gang of climate alarmists. I'm about an inch away from deleting my Facebook account.

Cool!

I guess it had you buffaloed, eh?

Perfect, grammatically correct sentence: Buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo. Completely unrelated to this movie, though. :-)

Of course Facebook CAN censor stuff. It's a private company and essentially unregulated. The question is whether they SHOULD censor stuff. I can't yell "FIRE!" in a crowded theater (especially if there is no fire), but in my opinion, many times Facebook would censor me for saying loudly, "Boy, this movie sucks!"

As a newspaper editor with a reporter I knew to be irresponsible, I'd fire his ass. I don't follow your analogy of reporter/newspaper and user/Facebook, though. The reporter is an employee of the newspaper and subject to doing what the boss says; a user is a Facebook customer. And Facebook doesn't want to be a publisher, because they're liable for libel. And they don't want to be a government-regulated common carrier to duck libel concerns and not be allowed to alter or censor content. PragerU is just another Facebook user. Their content is actually hosted on YouTube, who has also censored them.

Unsubscribed.

It isn't. "Blue states are, on average, richer. Because we have a progressive tax system, more money comes from richer people, and if a state’s citizens are, on average, richer, they pay more into the federal fisc." https://thefederalist.com/2017/11/17/red-states-tax-takers-blue-states-tax-makers/

Some pretty rad radishes!

I have no problem with checking for truth or fiction. I do it every day. Do you feel you've ever been "had" by an untruthful post on Facebook (or something in a newspaper or TV show)? Or were you pretty much able to discern the truth on your own, without help from some self-anointed "fact-checker"? I say let both PragerU and ClimateFeedback publish their data on Facebook or wherever, and let users decide.

Cool. I tried sharing this post of yours on my timeline, Glen, but an apparent Facebook glitch was hiding the Share button. I ended up sharing it straight from Richie. But thanks for the interesting tidbit!

Your symptoms are real and somewhat expected, Dorie. A study reported in 2005 by the U.S. National Library of Medicine concluded that “dizziness, headache and shortness of breath are commonly experienced by the medical staff wearing N95 masks.” https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT00173017

Florida seems to do pretty well in comparison to many other states. https://us-covid19-per-capita.net/

That revisionist history must spread like a virus in a pandemic. It's all over the Internet! But for this article, you can check the revision history. It's been essentially the same since 2010. At our age, relying on memories of living through it may not be a good strategy. :-)https://www.britannica.com/event/1968-flu-pandemic

Here's another take on the same subject. This says the Hong Kong flu arrived in the US in December of '68, but didn't peak until a year later. https://www.aier.org/article/woodstock-occurred-in-the-middle-of-a-pandemic/?fbclid=IwAR28qma7IiYnYsdm9xgfiVNjiA7u7_yImpJcuMC4YP9FZGZfwwvPg9sfRp0

This one is ISO 320, 1/200 sec. f/5.8 --a little bigger than the rule on the aperture, and a little faster on the shutter speed. But rules are meant to be broken!

I just remember the full moon is a medium gray object in bright sunshine. From my no-light-meter 8mm movie days, I know the rule for that kind of subject is a shutter speed of 1 over the ISO (so, e.g., 1/125s) and an aperture of f/8 or f/11 or so.

Stereo FM, which is what I was describing, actually has a bit of AM in it. The L-R audio is AM on the 38 kHz subcarrier. The L+R (the mono-radio-compatible audio) is FM on the main carrier. The receiver demodulates the main and subcarrier audio, adding them in-phase to get 2L audio, and out of phase to get 2R audio. But you know all that. Elkins taught you! :-)

Of course, little mention by either NPR or the DOJ of the threats to prosecute Flynn's son if Flynn didn't plead guilty, or of the fact that Flynn had sold his house to pay his enormous legal bills. He was out of money. All good liberals know you don't get justice in this country unless you're rich and flush with cash.

Yeah, it's too bad Trump didn't go to that war. We might have won, or at least negotiated a better peace deal. :-)

Awesome!

So I guess you're saying the Nixon Administration was just too slow to act? :-)

I know. A couple of them were friends of mine. It *was* a stupid war. But I can't denigrate them for going.

How 'bout we just call them both "viral illnesses" and lump them all together? That would solve the statistics problem as well. I suspect we haven't done a real good job with either as far as obtaining solid proof of cause of death.

Some of my college radio buddies will remember the RPI Infirmary filled the auditorium next to the station's studios with beds for students expected to get the Hong Kong Flu over the 1968 Christmas vacation.

They do that for the safety of the media people, the only ones stupid enough to think Trump was suggesting injecting disinfectant.

"And then I see the disinfectant where it knocks it out in a minute. One minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or, or almost a cleaning?" He's talking about the great job disinfectant does on killing the virus, then wonders aloud doing "something like that (a great job) by injection." He DOES NOT suggest injecting disinfectant.
“President Trump has repeatedly said that Americans should consult with medical doctors regarding coronavirus treatment, a point that he emphasized again during yesterday’s briefing,” White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said in a statement. “Leave it to the media to irresponsibly take President Trump out of context and run with negative headlines.”

Wow! Interesting is right! Somehow, I, and likely you, did our part to generate herd immunity to measles, mumps, and chicken pox.

Russ, I posted a link to the entire article 3 comments up. Just above one of yours claiming I didn't mention whom the Times was quoting.

They gotta subscribe.

But there's also this: https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/oct/17/no-voter-fraud-isnt-myth-10-cases-where-its-all-to/

Who *was* the Times quoting, Russ? I don't see any quotation marks (other than my own) around the words of the Times I quoted. It sure looks to me like the article's reporter or author conceived and wrote those words as their own. And the whole article clearly suggests that vote-by-mail and absentee voting is not a good idea from the standpoint of election security. I'm glad your experience with mail-in voting has been trouble free. But I must remind you that it doesn't take 0.5% fraudulent ballots to change an election result; it only takes one. And that may be the ballot that suppresses *my* vote, or perhaps, yours.

Hard to tell with the New York Times, William. Their opinion pieces often are not so-marked. This one wasn't. https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/07/us/politics/as-more-vote-by-mail-faulty-ballots-could-impact-elections.html

I sure this fits your definition of unbiased, Russ:

"Votes cast by mail are less likely to be counted, more likely to be compromised and more likely to be contested than those cast in a voting booth, statistics show."

— New York Times

And hindsight will be 20/20, as always.

Exactly.

When you don't look for and prosecute vote fraud, you can *say* there's no evidence of it. But it exists. https://thefederalist.com/2016/10/13/voter-fraud-real-heres-proof/

Good for those with pet snakes!

Mail-in voting, as well as online voting, take the possible commission of a crime out of the face-to-face realm and turn it into no big deal--like calling a stranger names on Facebook or Twitter. Let's not make it easy to defraud. I'd like to see the evidence that mail-in voting is less fraud susceptible. https://www.heritage.org/election-integrity/commentary/potential-fraud-why-mail-elections-should-be-dead-letter

And not one of you asked how the cat was doing [smh] :-)

No, and no. Special circumstances. But as a general rule, show your face in front of live human beings. I don't want my vote suppressed by a packet of mailed-in ballots whose authenticity we can't verify.

The colon is perfectly fine. But it removes the implication Julie Owens thinks is there, and would be if a comma had been used instead.

Had they done it the way Trump wanted to do it, the money would have gone directly to the employees, faster. If you're out of a job because the government closed your employer's business, it's not your fault.

And the media has already seized on this non-peer-reviewed study to suggest Fauci is right: https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/other/hyped-malaria-pill-doesn-t-help-clear-coronavirus-in-study/ar-BB12EEbv?ocid=msedgntp

Does Fauci think dying is safer than hydroxychloroquine? He should see nobody is suggesting we dispense with the scientific method and the FDA forever, but he's possibly being a tad hypocritical, which is what this article suggests.

"The Daily Mail has been widely criticised for its unreliability, as well as printing of sensationalist and inaccurate scare stories of science and medical research,[13][14][15][16][17] and for copyright violations.[18] It is treated as unreliable as a source for articles in Wikipedia"

Yeah, yeah. T-Ben already mentioned that meaning to me, but pointed out my Mafia nickname would be way too long!

A Roman soldier walks into a bar and tells the bartender, "I'll have a martinus."

Once upon a time for my opening monologue at WRNO (which was whatever I could say over the intro of my first record), I mentioned spotting a mattress in the middle of a lane on I-10 at the high-rise bridge on my drive to the station. I asked if anyone was feeling especially kinky and wanted a thrill there. No takers.

Seems more prickly than pearish.

Facebook flagged this as false. They claim Patrick Henry didn't say this. Nevertheless, IMHO, the substance of the quote is absolutely true!

I heard somebody posit the other day that for every economist, there is an equal and opposite economist, and usually, both of them are wrong! :-)

Sorry, but he lost me when he claimed to be the inventor of email. That came from fellow RPI graduate Ray Tomlinson. https://www.britannica.com/biography/Ray-Tomlinson

Thanks for the book tip, Suzanne Garsh Albright I just finished “This Is Your Brain on Music,” and I’m pages away from the end of “Napoleon’s Buttons: 17 Molecules That Changed History.” Both non-fiction; both good. And Tom and I are, by mutual nature, required to rib each other. Politics is (are?) just a convenient topic for that.

Like I said, not a big deal, Bob. But I did want the "Admins" to know I almost always look before I post, especially in this Group where everybody seems to pay attention to the same stuff.

Already posted by me 2 hours before this post (but removed by some Admin). No big deal, but I *did* look before I posted mine and saw nothing.

I think words with similar meanings are called synonyms. And these two seem close enough to me:

com•mu•nism kŏm′yə-nĭz″əm►
n. A theoretical economic system characterized by the collective ownership of property and by the organization of labor for the common advantage of all members.
n. A system of government in which the state plans and controls the economy and a single, often authoritarian party holds power, claiming to make progress toward a higher social order in which all goods are equally shared by the people.

so•cial•ism sō′shə-lĭz″əm►
n. Any of various theories or systems of social organization in which the means of producing and distributing goods is owned collectively or by a centralized government that often plans and controls the economy.
n. The stage in Marxist-Leninist theory intermediate between capitalism and communism, in which the means of production are collectively owned but a completely classless society has not yet been achieved.
n. Specifically, in Germany, legislation, supported by Prince Bismarck, intended to improve the condition of the working-man. Among the measures included were the insurance of workmen against accident, sickness, and old age, and the establishment of cooperative associations under state protection.

In 6th grade, Mr. Mast explained capitalism, socialism, and communism pretty well. As a future engineer who would love simplifying assumptions, I reduced socialism to just communism without the communes. But I think today's young folks have reduced "socialist" to mean, "someone who spends a lot of time on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter." They still expect to buy their iPads and smartphones from BestBuy, not some place that looks like the DMV.

Is that an attribution? Winston Churchill gets it most often, but nobody seems to know for sure who said it first.

They got nothin'! :-)

Wendy Hayton , I had no idea. I thought all that money came from the same money tree we'll use to pay for free medical care, free tutiion, and the Green New Deal.

That's not much of an explanation for his largesse. And, BTW, for a week now,his campaign has been anonymously placing large orders for food at local restaurants in New York, New Jersey, Washington, and Michigan for delivery to hospital workers. But probably just a pittance. And reported by a conservative media outlet which you won't believe. But I'll provide the link anyway. Remember when the Obama campaign did this for all the H1N1 pandemic hospital workers after he let that outbreak get a six-month head start? Yeah, me neither. https://www.dailywire.com/news/report-trump-campaign-ordering-food-from-local-restaurants-to-help-hospital-workers

Exactly what will that prove?

From the "CommonDreams.org" About page: "We share our readers’ progressive values of social justice, human rights, equality and peace." A biased source deserves a biased reply, Sandra Givens. In this case, biased toward facts. If Trump is so zealous "to put money in his own pocket," explain to me why he donates every penny of his Presidential salary to charity. And the former director for counterproliferation and biodefense on the National Security Council himself has debunked your accusation that Trump "slashed the expertise in government that would have been ready to address this crisis." Please stop using the Saul Alinsky playbook and repeating this lie ad nauseum. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2020/03/16/no-white-house-didnt-dissolve-its-pandemic-response-office/?fbclid=IwAR2SJE_Bn-PtozF_WKNMtPo3P05jdMV0ZTilVZm-lQWuaADa_TjAiLvWR_Y

I don't know if Facebook will allow this, but another early rap record was "Big Bad John" by Jimmy Dean.

Democrats want them counted because, legal or illegal, they're "persons," and the Constitution says we must count them for purposes of representation. It's too late, Charlie. They're here, and so is the census. If we don't want to count them, we have to deport them. My suggestion would be to collect them and detain them in states which vote reliably red. Count them there and those states get the extra Congressional representatives and electoral votes while we work on deporting them. Pretty simple, really. :-)

I'll stipulate that Bernie didn't call for the 52% rate. I'm just pointing out that past Democrats have 1) invented the income tax in the first place; and 2) have actually instituted sky high rates.

52% is peanuts compared to FDR's marginal rate of 94% on incomes over $200,000. It wasn't just a proposal; that's the rate in effect when he died. Prior to 1913, the rate was zero. How did we manage? https://www.aier.org/article/fdrs-forgotten-tax-on-the-poor/

Yes. The West *is* the best. Jim Morrison said so. Get here, and we'll do the rest.

The only problem with the author's analysis is when he says that any dollar the government spends must first be removed from the private sector. Actually, the government can simply print the money to spend now and worry about extracting it from John Q. Citizen's taxes later, which is probably exactly what happened in the case of the Obama stimulus. We the People have probably yet to pay for the Obama stimulus program.

Fake hiring advice from Deep Staters. He'll do better in his second term. :-)

Impeach him! :-)

Sorry to hear that.

Nanette above already did. California says they’re carcinogenic. I just bought a second bag today.

I wonder how many of these originated with Ben Walsh.

Sounds good to me!

Meanwhile, in Slidell, Louisiana, Indian Hills is a nudist resort. :-)

And as far as we know, since Utz bought Zapp's, the "Little Chippery in Gramercy" may be in Pennsylvania (or wherever Utz is) now.

I only ate half the bag. I saved the rest for later. Right now, I'm enjoying some Blue Bell Mocha Almond Fudge.

And exactly 6 years later (1947), Warren Zevon is born.

I wonder if the evil chemical carcinogen is in the food coloring they apparently use on the Evil Eye chips. Oh well. I ate red M&M's for years when they still had the infamous Red Dye #2.

I like Utz's response: just don't sell 'em in California.

Kinda like the Voodoo chips, but without as much bite. Very colorful. I like 'em, more than the Voodoo chips, which used to be my favorite.

Right. It was, itself, propaganda.

Came around a blind left-hand curve to see a utility truck parked in the middle of the two-lane road. Dove off the right edge of the road to miss the truck, then lost it trying to get back on the road and miss the fence posts out in the farmer's field. The engine stalled during my backwards travel. So when I was once again pointed in the desired direction, I restarted it and continued on my way, glancing at the rearview mirror to see some amazed power company workers watching from the truck. I was on my way to work at the TV station 150 miles away after a weekend trip.

On the External Tank Program at Michoud, we'd take them down to the weld X-ray area and X-ray them before cutting. Can't be too careful. :-)

I did that on dry pavement in the middle of July up there one time with my '63 Chevy. No dashcam, though.

And now, here they are, Dolly Parton! :-)

Down here, today was the coldest day on record since yesterday! :-)

I'd think it was for cleaning golf balls--you know--the balls with dimples?

The Harlem Globetrotters of soccer?

I visited my cousin in The Villages a few years back. He has his own Corvette. But his neighbor across the street has his-and-hers Corvettes. One of those he won by buying a $500 raffle ticket at the Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Kentucky. It was the last 427 Corvette to roll off the assembly line there. Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?

Seems like they're running these tests every 5 minutes.

We heard climate change made him do it. :-)

Snot me, I tell ya!

Have a Happy, Guy! Don't get none on ya!

LOL! No, but the Rap Hall of Fame *should* include Jimmy Dean for "Big Bad John" and Lorne Greene for "Ringo."

Does that broccoli have mayonnaise on it?

Or until your compiler throws an error.

All of them!

She's not your second cousin twice removed and three times put back?

I dunno. I ain't gonna disassemble it. Not my job, man.

Maybe. I found this. But it's 5 years old and doesn't mention dryers. https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/magazine/2015/05/best-american-made-appliances/index.htm

Which brands can you be sure are built here? China had bought so many of our brand names.

What we got from HD sounds used.

I had to use one today.

Don't have any.

They delivered. No truck.

Yeah, that *is* a great pic! :-)

It's a planet on which they failed to tax carbon emissions. :-)

But remember, pedophilia is just a disorder, not a crime. https://www.phillymag.com/news/2014/10/06/pedophilia-not-a-crime-rutgers-margo-kaplan/

Any chance of free cars? I bet they'd be more popular.

Too late. I opened it before reading this and now my 401K is gone! And I'm not even in the stupid video! You owe me a bunch of money, Ezell! :-)

'Scuse me, while I kiss this guy!

Are your sure your coral is not doomed by climate change? :-)

I won't do self-checkout unless they put me on their health insurance and agree to send me a W-2 at the end of the year.

And Jeffrey Dahmer was inspirational to cannibals.

I keep telling myself that.

Can't believe we didn't put a WIXO bumper sticker on it!

I dunno. This was not in my parish (county).

Precious few care!

I won't argue the goal, only the heavy-handed, costly mechanism.

Oh, an equipmophiliac, eh?

So, another unethical "psychoanalysis at a distance" practitioner. You'd think a Yale degree would make you smarter than that. Ask any other psychiatrist if they diagnose people without ever seeing them as patients. It can be a ticket out of the professional association.

The same folks run both, so why not?

Does West Webster still flood their parking lot to make an ice rink?

I have one. I guess I'd better find it and give it a listen. I think I also have a copy of an album he put out.

As soon as finish the book on anti-gravity that I'm reading. I can't put it down!

Glad it turned out well. Is West Webster's fire department part of Rochester's now? I was confused by the truck signage.

Exactly!

Or unless I spend more money to get ID-equipped drones. And it's interesting that the biggest push behind this initiative is coming from DJI, the Chinese drone maker banned by our military for security reasons. The Yuneec drones I have are also made in China, but they don't connect to the Internet. Needless to say, DJI and all the other drone makers stand to make a bundle selling new ID-compliant drones to suckers like me.

Well, they were just dying to get in! That's why there's a fence around cemeteries. :-)

Heck, I guess there's no need for Dems to vote this cycle then.

Do you use condoms? :-)

Wow! Haven't seen one of those "bubble lights" in forever! Merry Christmas to you and Maureen, Dennis!

That Russians are meddling with Climate Change? :-)

Yup.

U2, William.

U2, Paul!

My sister used to give me one every year for Christmas.

O-tay!

A timely allegory, except that these characters aren't fictional.

Love it!

I guess there's no point in me playing Bing Crosby's "Do You Hear What I Hear?" for you, eh?

Doesn't come to mind as a Christmas classic, but we do play it.

Congrats, y'all!

Have a Happy, Beebe! Don't get none on ya!

I'm sure your yard bunny would love it.

Looks like you got partial credit on one or more of them.

If that's the case, then the "I" in "AIR" should already be visible like the "I" in "IN" and "TONIGHT."

That's so the onshore Democrats can't take it all.

I heard Norwood tried to commit suicide by shooting himself in the head. He missed wide left. :-)

Is Scott Norwood still kicking for them?
