hunger over because I ate

I’m embarrassed for any dufus still trotting out this line. Seems I’ve been mocking this line of argument (and Trump) for many years.

Thanks Dana.

Jim Jefferies – Gun Safety

This Australian comedian is very profane. Very funny.

But he is exactly right on the terrible number of firearm deaths in the USA. More Americans now die from gunfire than motor vehicle accidents. 😦

Thanks Bieche.

I once saw a cat that looked exactly like Hitler. But did not get a photo.

For over an hour I tried to track down that Kitler. No luck.

Recently I saw another cat that looked somewhat like Hitler.

All in the Family – far, far ahead of its time

On By Rick McIn ethics, GOP USA, government, humour, TVLeave a comment

All in the Family is an American sitcom that was originally broadcast on the CBS television network from January 12, 1971, to April 8, 1979. …

Produced by Norman Lear and Bud Yorkin and starring Carroll O’Connor, Jean Stapleton, Rob Reiner, and Sally Struthers, All in the Family revolves around the life of a working class bigot and his family.

The show broke ground in its depiction of issues previously considered unsuitable for U.S. network television comedy, such as racism, homosexuality, women’s liberation, rape, miscarriage, abortion, breast cancer, the Vietnam War, menopause, and impotence. Through depicting these controversial issues, the series became arguably one of television’s most influential comedic programs, as it injected the sitcom format with more realistic and topical conflicts.

The show ranked number-one in the yearly Nielsen ratings from 1971 to 1976. …

This is one of my favourite scenes.

Norman Lear, age-92, just published his autobiography – Even this I get to experience.

Lear is extremely liberal, the opposite of Archie. Actually, Normal Lear had Maude, Bea Arthur, represent his personal views.

In some ways Archie still symbolizes the old white male conservative dinosaur. Carroll O’Connor died 2001.

Archie Bunker’s ideas should have died with him.
