The General Election was yesterday, did you vote? Here are the top reasons I've heard throughout my life on why someone didn't vote. 1. There's no one decent running. (This is totally ridiculous, there is always a candidate that best reflects your views.) 2. My vote doesn't matter. (If everyone who uses this excuse showed up to vote they could completely shake up the process. In a close race your vote becomes even more crucial.) 3. I just don't have time. (Bullshit. If you live in a state that has early voting you certainly can't use this excuse. In the 12 hours the polls are open you can find a few minutes. If all else fails you vote absentee.) 4. I don't know where to vote. (If you haven't been told a hundred times by the candidates where to go, then check your registration card. If you have misplaced the card call your county election board and they will happily direct you.) 5. I don't want to be called for jury duty. (The majority of m...
In 2017 Engelbert Humperdinck hit an incredible milestone and opened up to the world about a very personal tragedy. In 1967 after ten years of trying to make it in showbiz Arnold George Dorsey, by then known as Engelbert Humperdinck after the nineteenth century German composer of the same name, became an international star with the hit song "Release Me". The song hit number one on the charts doing the unthinkable by keeping The Beatles from that slot with their Strawberry Fields/Penny Lane release. Engelbert ruled the charts for 56 weeks and dominated in the top ten on both sides of the Atlantic. That same year he would hit again with The Last Waltz. Engelbert Humperdinck, the singer with a funny name, had finally done it, he was an international star and the decades would fly by with hit after hit with a never wavering commitment to his style of singing. He never had a single lesson and we are all the better for it. He celebrated 2017 with the 50th Anniversary of ...
Conservatainer Michael Savage attacked one of his callers during a discussion concerning a recent suggestion in California that some tunnel be renamed after Robin Williams to highlight mental health awareness. The caller, a veteran suffering from P.T.S.D. , said he thought it was a good idea if it would help draw attention to mental health issues in this country. This angered Savage, most things do and he lit into the vet rapidly tearing him down and screeching that we don't need to focus on mental health in this country. He made a point of personally ripping this vet a new one and mocking his suffering. Savage told him he's not the only one with problems so boo hoo. He went on to say that mental health awareness is why we got Obama as President. Uh? For all of Savage's alleged formal education he says amazingly stupid things. Anyone who would call his show is clearly a fan, why shred one so unmercifully, particularly a veteran suffering from P.T.S.D. Which war was it ...
