ON this date in 1964 - The governor of Indiana declared that the song "Louie Louie" by the Kingsmen was pornographic.
He requested that the state's radio stations not play the song.
Bun Man and Mr. Purple's seminal band Super Heads In Time (the logo on the bass drum spelled S.H.I.T.) had just learned the Kingsmen's hit and were playing it on the local club circuit.

Bun Man told the NFL Chief Investigator "I hope you're not tryin' to make this an 'InflateGate' thingie; someone had to pull that cord for this to happen..."
As the Chief Investigator turned to Mr. Purple, P immediately countered "Hey, dude, I'm just here so I don't get fined..."

ON this date in 2004 - Janet Jackson's breast is exposed during the half-time show of Super Bowl XXXVIII, resulting in US broadcasters adopting a stronger adherence to FCC censorship guidelines.
Costume designers Bun Man and Mr. Purple were immediately blamed for the incident.
Apparently, the authorities thought The Boyz had intentionally made the outfit so it could be exposed.

It's the USA, if it hasn't killed you yet, it's good to eat. If it does, we'll know for the next donor.

It's the Mikster's birth month (Feb) so she turns to me yesterday and says, "Wow, what do I want for my birthday?"
(Knowing fool well she has most of what she wants)
So, I immediately interpret the need to step up my game and thoughtfully respond, and then it hits me and the response pummels out.
So I say, "IDK, what can you afford?"
I'll be able to see objects in a distance from my left eye sometime tomorrow, at least I think it will be tomorrow, depends on the swelling...

From Pedro Molina
“The ‘Southern Border Crisis’ has long been a favorite fetish of the far-right, who always point the finger at the other side for not doing enough about it. Now that Democrats say they are willing to have a bipartisan agreement on the matter, MAGA representatives are blocking it. Why block something they want? Because they have never wanted to solve the problem. Doing so would leave them without one of their favorite fronts of attack and distraction.” -PM

Enough to last 'til the end of time
Morning Peeps,
It's really not at all about the Southern border' it's really about controlling where the line in the sand is drawn.
If it's the GOP, run fast...
In the USA, we are all about consuming, we only control for and monitor symptomatology.
US Republican view of their country as evidenced by Rep. Roy
In other words, Roy believes his own opinion about what is required to keep people "secure and safe" trumps the Constitution. This is a radical view that would upend the nation's legal system.
