The Republican Finkiness Continues

I was just listening to a story about the debates. There may only be one debate now, because the Republicans are so afraid that georgie-boy is going to look like a moron (which he's not, by the way, but he plays one so that the moron vote - which is substantial - will go for him.)

Among the demands that the Republicans have made are that the candidates cannot stand next to each other (because Kerry is taller) and that the candidates can't respond to each other (because Kerry is smarter).

Why ANYONE would think that Bush is a good president is beyond me. If they think he's an ethical man, they need to be bitch-slapped. If they think he's a good Christian, they need to re-examine their faith. But they are most likely the type that attend mega-churches in the suburbs where some doofus in a leisure suit and a degree in divinity specializes in hoovering their wallet.

Stupid is as stupids does, I suppose - and no one ever went broke underestimating the intelligence of the American public. So maybe Georgie really is the right man for America.

And That's Not All!

I was overjoyed to find that my copy of "Sounds in Space" has arrived!!! Narrated by the fabulous Ken Nordine, this is the hi-fi demonstrator album of all time!!!

Dolly Holiday Finally Comes Home!

Oh Happy Day!!! My Dolly Holiday Album finally came in!!! Dolly Holiday, as just about EVERYONE knows (OK, not everyone - I just found this out myself recently) was the host of Holiday Inn's "Nighttime" show - a syndicated overnight "easy listening" program that was broadcast just about everywhere in the US in the 60's. Miss Holiday was also the first manager of WHER in Memphis, the first all-girl radio station.

The album is in great condition, and features Miss Holiday crooning such standards as "Blue Moon" "Fascination" and the lively "That ever lovin' Memphis Sound" backed up by something called the Four Guys.

Warm up the Motorola - it's gonna be a hot time at my house tonight!

I jump on yet another bandwagon

My friend Lise told me about blogger.com years ago, and at the time I kind of ignored her. But as I have been finding the monthly rant a pain in the ass to write and format, I thought I'd give this a try.

So here is where I will have occasional (?) jotting and other miscellaneous thoughts. Just what you always wanted, right?

And I'll start with this: I just had my house rewired. It was a sweaty, stinky, messy job, and I'm glad it's over. I'm just not meant to perspire, but it was very inexpensive if I helped the electrician, so perspire I did. My role was to crawl around in the attic and fish wiring down the walls, and rip out the old wiring as it became obsolete. Sometimes I got to use power tools.

I now have many more outlets than I did before, and a huge pile of extension cords. I had no idea that I had that many extension cords.

Now it's an issue of patching the holes that had to be cut to accommodate some of the wiring, insulating the attic, and (ahem) painting my kitchen, which I have been putting off for quite some time.

When all of this is accomplished (sometime in 2018) I will have a new kitchen, new wiring, new bathroom floor, and generally spruced-up space.

Lucky Me.
