Twerks, hums and RITA!!

Have you ever heard of Conrad Edward Mauge Jr. His song, Zombie Jamboree** makes today's Hum list. More to follow.

I love You Tube. I go looking for the Harry Belafonte version of the above and it has a trailer for Rita Hayworth Jumps in the Line. I have access to every or any video I want and I think that although it's amazing that Katy Perry gets over 200 million hits for Roar, it just doesn't compare to Hayworth's vignette. Just remember that the full title of Shawshank Redemption began with "Rita Hayworth and the....."

Wal Mart made the news. They are asking for food donations for their neediest employees. That sparked a real shitshow yesterday.

Anat Cohen is in Chicago this week for a concert. She brings the goods on the Clarinet.

Exxon Mobil, having been fined 2.2 million dollars for a 220,000 barrel oil spill in Arkansas earlier this year, acknowledged that they made some "fundamental errors in the initial response to the spill." The pipeline is known as The Pegasus System and stretches from Illinois to Texas. Once it crosses the Texas border, Exxon is more immune to criticism because regulation in RickPerryLand is frowned upon. It does not, however stop Governor OOPs from traveling to blue
states to hose them for not being as "miraculous" as Texas.

In a recent poll, voters prefer Chris Christie to Andrew Cuomo for President in New York. As one ages, time really flies but it just can't fly enough until the next presidential election cycle.

How unbelievably great was the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show?

Jimmy Soul: "yeah she's ugly but she sure can cook."

Saudi Arabia has banned pets and Valentines Day. The latter taboo only made me think of the terrible show of the same name with Tony Franciosa. People e mail me and ask, "where do you get this shit? But, don't stop."

Martin Bashir should have apologized. It was an awful thing to say. But he was saying what a lot of people think. But that was totally unnecessary. I don't want want to give the recipient of his comments any sympathy at all.

I miss Mr. Ed.

I was thinking about:
Yvonne DeCarlo
Frank Vincent
Pud Galvin
Abby Dalton
Peter Coyote
Everett Dirksen
William O. Douglas
Ed Sanders
Cary Middlecoff
Were you?

** I think the Belafonte version is an early example of Twerking.

1. Governor Bob McDonnell-  R- Va, after a storm of protest, changed his orginal  request for a bill requiring a woman in Virginia to undergo a transvaginal ultrasound; and replaced it with a bill that required a mandatory ultrasound, were the women seeking a legal termination of her pregnancy. ( I have others).

Whistle or hum:
Desert Rose Band- "You're Running Wild."
Asleep at The Wheel- Am I Right or Amarillo?"

Have a great day folks. Be well. See you tomorrow.
