HASTN'T HAPPENED YET
🌄 Americans Coming Together,
Ken-Dogger: Hey Dixiee big games today.
Dixiee: Who you rooting for?
KD: I have my faves, but don’t want to jinx them
D: it’s tough, all four teams you’ve rooted for…
KD: Guess I’ll just root for sportsmanship and achievement.
D: Wow, American values..how novel
KD: We should find examples everywhere, helps us come together.
D: Let’s make coming together what Americans do…
ON this date in 2014, I traded my Victory Vision (white bike) in for this 2015 Indian Roadmaster...
Both George and Ron beat the living hell out of each other thru 5 rounds, in fact, so much so, that neither could hold their arms up in much of the 5th round.
Bun Man, one of Foreman's advisors, recommended George get into a new line of work after this fight...
Bun said "George, you like grilling, don't you?"
2/2
GREATEST BOXING MATCH EVER
ON this date in 1976 - George Foreman KOs Ron Lyle in 5th round of a real slugfest.
Actually (...and this is no-shit real stuff now), the Boyz and I do remember watching this fight.
It was the greatest fight I ever saw, even better than anything in Seaford's back alleys or under the railroad bridge...
1/2
ON this date in 2003 - The U.S. Department of Homeland Security began operations under Tom Ridge.
US Senators Bun Man and Mr. Purple had made impassioned speeches against the expansion of the federal govt, but once again, Republicans saw this as an opportunity to control and Dems saw an opportunity to throw money to a problem rather than a solution.
The Dept's rapid expansion almost certainly doomed its success.
ON this date in 2012 The Boyz and I were watching an episode of Married w/ Children this morning in the gym when Al Bundy says to Peg after buying her a Fancy Figure-37 bra...
"As long as those guys are alive, they are going to have a roof over the heads"...
Gosh, I love that dude--so righteous!
Plato--At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.
ON this date in 1899 - Humphrey O’Sullivan patented the rubber heel. Bun Man and Mr. Purple, on the Beatles' staff in the 60s and responsible for ideas, came upon this historical Highmark and helped the Beatles in 1965 develop Rubber Soul.
A folk rock gem, the album expanded the Beatles' musical vision and paid homage to the Mikster w/ the song 'Michelle'.
I still sing it to the Mikster before she dozes off to sleep each night.
Don't know why her head is always under the pillow though...
ON this date in 1986 - The Voyager 2 space probe flew past Uranus.
Mr. Purple remembered the time (and he's laughing hysterically right now as he relates this...) when Bun Man went to his proctologist and, well let's just say that probe didn't fly by Bun's Uranus, it flew in...
Bun screamed like the time he was in Cell Block#9 w Bubba.
The Voyager probe came within 50,679 miles of the seventh planet of the solar system, the proctologist probe was on target...
It also suggests that the enormous number of books being taken off the shelves of Florida schools has become a political problem for Florida Republicans.
I hate to say this but could it be that FLA REPUBS are getting WOKE?
But now, things in Florida are changing. Republicans in the Florida House have proposed legislation that would make it more difficult for people to challenge books en mass. The legislation, which has already cleared two committees with Republican support, is an implicit acknowledgment that book banning in Florida schools has gone too far.

If you ever wondered why Congress can't figure out the weight of their actions,
Here's your sign...
“Why don’t Americans take politics seriously? Because it’s 99% Kabuki theater minus the entertainment value. Consider the absurdity of the primary candidates who drop out of the race only to endorse the opponents they were previously decrying. Ron DeSantis is merely the most recent (and hardly the most extreme) example of a bipartisan, long-standing phenomenon we take for granted but should take a beat to consider.”-TR
Cartoon by Ted Rall for Counterpoint
A chilling echo of these words can be found in one of Trump’s recent speeches in Iowa, in which he claimed that his supporters had acted “peacefully and patriotically” on Jan. 6, 2021.

Robert B Reich on the threat of political violence in the USA
When five Brownshirts were sentenced to death for the murders, Hitler called the sentences “a most outrageous blood verdict” and publicly promised the prisoners that “from now on, your freedom is a question of honor for all of us, and to fight against the government which made possible such a verdict is our duty.”

SOME TASKS ARE SISYPHEAN
Ken-Dogger: I can’t wait to hear this one…
Hidalgo: What? Oh this…I’m Super Hidalgo
KD: Well, well, no sense of worth issues in you then…
H: Nope, I’m digging this cult of personality you Humans got going on…
KD: Actually, these cults are leading to our demise
H: That may be, but I’m looking good, isn’t that what matters?
KD: No, it isn’t, but getting others to figure that out is Sisyphean…
SPEEDING THROUGH IT
Ken-Dogger: Hey there, Petie, you're in pain aren't you boy?
Petie: (moans)
KD: Don't worry fella, we're gonna get you back on the good side of pain
Petie: Dude, there's a good side?
KD: Yes sir Petie, all goodness requires movement, you're trending in the right direction
P: A direction?
KD: Yep, your trendline projects wellness and pain relief.
P: Okay, got the direction thing, could we work on the speed thing?
