And now, for a change of pace.

However the debate went, simply be glad you were not in this picture.

Billy May and his orchestra. No, not Billy Mays. Sent me by my dear old friend and confidant Mlle Jenny.

Billy May is responsible for a good deal of music you know and probably don’t realize. The theme from the Green Hornet, Batman, many others were arranged or written or re-arranged by him, and he was involved with Nelson Riddle and a lot of the other big names in the business.

The picture of Billy dressed like a rhumba dancer flinging confetti on a woman who is apparently trying to run away is very possibly, as Jenny says, the most surreal album cover of all time. Possibly more so than “Pardon me, I didn’t knit that for you”

What’s with the dog, anyway? and why, oh why, is he barefoot? and didn’t they have hairpieces then? Billy should have stuck to the business of music, and stayed away from cameras.

I cannot do it.

I often wish I had a brit/african market Hilux for a large number of reasons, the predominant one being the shifter/radio/heater controls etc. are on the driver’s left side.

See, I’m not a big pistol shooter, these days, and I never was too big on weak hand drills. So if I were to- say, shoot a big fucking hole in my radio, the bullet would plow through the dashboard, the internals of the radio, punch a hole in the firewall, and probably the back of the #4 cyliinder

If I could shoot effectively left handed, I could probably reach through the steering wheel and bust a cap in the truck’s radio, and merely ventilate the AC system and possibly the heater core, worst case taking out a tire, and that could be replaced with the spare. So I could keep on keeping on down the road. Likewise, if I had a RHD vehicle, I could have shot the damned thing and only affected the passengers side of the vehicle without too much trouble.
For this reason, l turn off the radio whenever they are playing quotes from Obama Or Biden. And I can’t listen to Hannity anymore at all, not like I was ever a big listener.

So. For the same reasons, I cannot watch this debate. I bought this little 12″ color so the wife could watch her soaps and movies in the comfort of our air conditoned bedroom (THe only AC room in the house) when she was heavy with child. The heat must have been unbearable for her, so having a room with a TV and an AC unit was a lifesaver. It’s not a bad little TV, with a good picture, and I have behind me an M4gery, an M1 carbine, a couple 22 revolvers, a 1911, and a 1917 enfield. Those are just the ones I can REACH without leaving my chair. And I don’t want to elvis this TV.

So I tried, I honestly did. Every time I hear Uncle Joe opening his yap, it makes me want to blow a hole in this innocent little orion tube. And it just doesnt’ deserve it.

Atlas Shrugged part Two

opens tomorrow.

I am as likely to see this one as I was the first, or as I might be to think that this is any less a fantasy than the idea that ObamaNation is going to be a utopia.

Want to put your finger on the pulse of reality? Read Harrison Bergeron. It should take you ten minutes if you’re a damned slow reader. This is what we got. the liberal mindset is what is responsible for Diana Moon Glampers. You want change? You’d better get to her before she’s armed.
