AND THE WORLD WILL BE A BETTER PLACE

For today...Put a Little Love in Your Heart
Think of your fellow man, lend him a helping hand
Put a little love in your heart
You see, it's getting late, oh, please don't hesitate
Put a little love in your heart
And the world will be a better place
And the world will be a better place for you and me
You just wait and see

Both lessons hit home. Among us today a concentration of power without equal in history is growing." FDR, message to Congress, 4/29/38

3/3

That, in essence, is fascism--ownership of government by an individual, by a group or by any other controlling private power. The second truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if its business system does not provide employment and produce and distribute goods in such a way as to sustain an acceptable standard of living.

ALMOST 100 YEARS AGO...

From 'The Deep State'..."Unhappy events abroad have retaught us two simple truths about the liberty of a democratic people. The first truth is that the liberty of a democracy is not safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power to a point where it becomes stronger than their democratic state itself.

JUST REMEMBER KIDS...

Only YOU and that dreaded SOCIALISM can get us through these dreadful winters.

ON this date in 1989 - James Brown was sentenced in Georgia to 6 years in jail in connection with a police chase through two states.

James' lawyers, Bun Man and Mr. Purple, pleaded w/ the judge for leniency, but to no avail...

James was going to do some hard time.

Republicans thought the sentence was just right for this no-good soul singer, while Democrats thought the sentence was excessive for this cultural icon...

AND SO IT GOES, AND SO IT GOES...

WEENY LITTLE DICTATORS ABOUND

ON this date in 2003 - North Korea announced that it would consider sanctions an act of war for North Korea's reinstatement of its nuclear program.

Burundian Ambassadors to the UN Bun Man and Mr. Purple had tried desperately to prevent North Korea's stand on the issue but it didn't matter.

North Korean missiles shoot only a little way and then they peter out, just like the weeny little dictator they have...

Kim Dong Little Shoot!

ON this date in 1977 - The TV mini-series "Roots," began airing on ABC.

The show was based on the Alex Haley novel.

Mr. Purple, the premier Shakespearean actor of his day, was originally signed to play Chicken George, but then he was told his color would prevent him doing the part.

This would not be the last time color would play a role in limiting American citizens from their just dues.

I'M BACK...

You see, the Lords members were engaged in their post-lunch ritual of the Farting Pole.

Apparently, the Lords relinquished their ‘gas’ prior to their full return to the chamber.

The Boyz were told the Farting Pole had salvaged much of British Law from an otherwise notorious case of ‘talking out their ass…’

POIGNANT

ON this date in 1985 - The proceedings of the House of Lords were televised for the first time.

TV producers Bun Man and Mr. Purple supervised the first day’s session.

As the Boyz were readying for the PM session, they were greeted unceremoniously by the House of Lords Sergeant at Arms.

The lad told Bun and P they could not enter for a time.

Nothing better than Dire Straits on a rainy day...

It's a rainy day here, and I'm returning for 2nd sleep session

When peeps say the South shall rise again, the truth is the South was never above board.

Sharing, but this really looks like a real estate add for towns in New England that real estate peeps want to reinvigorate

Judd Legum on the Repubs' circular logic...

We didn't impeach because we can criminally charge. You can't criminally charge a President.

Trump is arguing for a new framework that would allow him to do whatever he wants without worrying about consequences. In a recent interview with Sean Hannity, Trump said he would act as a "dictator" on his first day in office. On Saturday, Trump defended those remarks, saying he was just "having fun."

Karma...When DeSantis realizes if he had only stuck it out until the Summer, Trump's dementia would be so pronounced that the Repubs will be forced to choose Nikki.

So, @Airborne_Frog what are the Scandinavian words?

when Napoleon was presumably so fed up by their mating calls that he sold the Louisiana Territory to Thomas Jefferson. The cicadas’ bacchanal will begin in late April. Then they won’t appear together for another 221 years.

ANOTHER BIG DEAL

Quote: “Nobody alive today will see it happen again.”

Entomologist Floyd W. Shockley wants to mentally prepare you for a historic—and loud—event this spring: two cicada groups emerging simultaneously. The last time Brood XIX, which has a 13-year cycle, and Brood XIII, which has a 17-year cycle, emerged in the same year was in 1803, ...
