Uncle Milton

In 1979, a young Phil Donahue challenged legendary economist Milton Friedman on the principles of capitalism. And specifically he went after the concept of greed. But Friedman eloquently articulated what capitalism was really about. And how it was behind so much good and wealth that was created in history…. “But it seems to reward not virtue as much as it does the ability to manipulate the system,” said Donahue. “And what does reward virtue?” asked Friedman rhetorically. “Does a communist commisary reward virtue? You think a Hitler rewards virture?”…. Thanks Skoonger;  I  minored in ECON during a time when academia was enthralled with Keynes.  It was only later, by watching Milton Friedman's series on PBS that I had me noggin banged.  There really is no voice given to what I call an academic common sense economics today.  Too bad.  Because today's  young Michael Moores, like here, have nobody to turn to.

A Cathartic Event

Judge Cameo: And you, Mr. District Attorney, I'd like to point something out to you in the penal code:  Section C, Paragraph 22: "Celebrities are above the law."  This case is dismissed. Quick:  What movie? Rene Russo    Jason Alexander    Randy Quaid        Robert De Niro    Janeane Garofalo    Carl Reiner    Jonathan Winters        John Goodman David Alan Grier    ..    Jeffrey Ross    Billy Crystal    Whoopi Goldberg   ↓ I remember seeing something about this movie, and I remember having zero inclination to watch it even if it was free, which it wasn't, aaaaaaaaaaand even though they were one of my favorites; ..not interested. In 2000 I was consumed by AlGore's attempt to take the White House and the subsequent Florida coup attempt. I just watched it.  This is perhaps the greatest animation feat ever, and it's funny as hell, and your kids can watch it.  Really.

Throwback Amurican Boyz The good thing is we didn't lose power.  Another good thing is that late Saturday afternoon these three guys (aged 5-7 and 9) from down the street came over, un-asked, and cut us a path to the street.  Snowed all night, but their pathway was a piece of cake to finish next day.

SKANKLESS SKINS '61 Thanks to Tom "Manfred" Mann I defy you to find a cheerleader squad, at any level, that have fewer (fewer than zero) skanks than did this 1961 Redskin squad.  In fact, see if you can find one that have fewer than 50% skanks. What in hell happened?  And this has nothing to do with race.

Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Story of the National Lampoon From the 1970s thru the 1990s, there was no hipper, no more outrageous comedy in print than The National Lampoon, the groundbreaking humor magazine that pushed the limits of taste and acceptability – and then pushed them even harder. Parodying everything from politics, religion, entertainment and the whole of American lifestyle, the Lampoon eventually went on to branch into successful radio shows, record albums, live stage revues and movies, including Animal House and National Lampoon’s Vacation. The publication launched the careers of legends like John Belushi, Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Christopher Guest and Gilda Radner, who went on to gigs at Saturday Night Live and stardom. I thought I'd read every National Lampoon.  Not even close. And, by the way, I never became a Democrat voting druggie; was more of a P.J. O'Rourke guy.  (I watched on Showtime) National Lampoons Senior Trip   (Later updated as Animal House) National Lampoon Lemmings 1973 - Full Video National Lampoon Radio Hour and  there's this...  Launched in 1970, the National Lampoon broke new ground and the aftershocks continue to be felt to this day. A tribute to the most influential American humor publication of all time, Drunk Stoned Brilliant Dead: The Writers and Artists Who Made the National Lampoon Insanely Great by Rick Meyerowitz is a greatest hits collection of the smart, over-the-top humor that made it such a pioneering publication. A prolific contributor to the magazine for 15 years and creator of the iconic Animal House poster, Meyerowitz takes us on a mind-boggling insider's tour through the golden years of the magazine. The Nat Lampoon website is still active, and off airs stuff like this

What they said ..

The obscenity of being .... them ... reported this week that the IRS has notified the Justice Department that it erased a hard drive after being ordered not to do so by a federal judge. In Oscar Wilde's comedy, "The Importance of Being Earnest," Lady Bracknell is indignant to hear that Jack Worthing is an orphan. "To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness." If only one could enjoy a similar belly laugh over President Obama's IRS repeatedly losing hard drives loaded with data related to scandals at the agency. To lose one might be regarded as suspicious happenstance; to lose two looks like conspiracy. WASHINGTON EXAMINER Homer: No, I don't know what "shaden-frawde" is. [sarcastic] Homer: Please tell me, because I'm dying to know. Lisa: It's a German term for "shameful joy", taking pleasure in the suffering of others. Homer: Oh, come on Lisa. I'm just glad to see him fall flat on his butt! [getting mad] Homer: He's usually all happy and comfortable, and surrounded by loved ones, and it makes me feel... What's the opposite of that shameful joy thing of yours? Lisa: Sour grapes. Homer: Boy, those Germans have a word for everything!

Trumping the GOP for God

Political Spaghetti

(Ann Coulter) We have never had total war against a candidate like we're seeing with Donald Trump. All elements of national media are uniting to stop him. Look for a fake Trump scandal to break -- probably from a conservative news outlet -- right before the Iowa caucus. The attacks on Trump from the "conservative" media calling him a socialist, a Democrat, a flip-flopper, a fake conservative are just name-calling. I notice that the accusers never include examples, not true ones, anyway. Here are some examples of how Trump has always been for Americans first A few months ago, an alleged Trump quote from a 1998 People magazine interview was circulating on the Internet, claiming Trump said that if he ever ran for president, he'd run as a Republican because Republican voters are "the dumbest group of voters in the country. They believe anything on Fox News. I could lie and they'd still eat it up." I pay a lot for Nexis, and Trump has never said anything remotely resembling this. Snopes.com investigated, too, and also concluded the quote was a fake. But you can probably still find some idiot tweeting it out right now. Last week, Glenn Beck "retweeted" a post allegedly tweeted by Trump the day after the 2012 election, saying: "I always vote for the winners! Congratulations to My Friend, @BarackObama!" If that doesn't sound like Trump, it's because Trump never said it. Beck's retweet sure made it look real, but you can check Trump's Twitter archive. All the stories about Trump being a fraud keep turning out to be the real frauds. (Coulter cont.) "All elements of national media are uniting to stop him." From my perspective, as a "senior" political analyst, it's been true (for at least 50 years) that the GOP candidate Democrats most rail against (fear) was the  best candidate for America in the race.  We all, I think, will generally agree with that supposition.  But, it's also true that the candidate the GOP works hardest to defeat, often in league with Democrats,  has also been the best man (or woman) running.  1n 1980 the GOP establishment  tried and failed to destroy Reagan because he was smarter than them; had the best message for America; and was more media savvy.  Donald Trump is playing that song. So the enemy of my enemy is my friend in this instance.

Little Johnny returns from school and says he got an F in arithmetic.  “Why?” asks his father? “ The teacher asked - “How much is 2x3” - I said 6, replies Bobby.   “But that's correct!” says his dad.  Yeah, but then she asked me -“How much is 3x2?”   “What's the fucking difference?” asks the father.   “That is what I said!”
