The Quotes of The Day

Quote I Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. C. S. Lewis
Quote II

“I want to say, shame on this committee for doing this. Apparently … the majority members keep attacking the NPR CEO Katherine Maher because she’s not here. They gave her one-week notice, she’s a brand new CEO and today is her board meeting, her first board meeting as CEO, and you want to haul her in here so that you can rake her over the coals for your partisan issues. Shame on this committee! I’m beside myself. I think it’s outrageous.” Democratic Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette

She enjoys projecting partisanship, Representative DeGette is one of nine impeachment managers arguing for Donald Trump's conviction.

A Little of This. A Little of That.

  • That giant sucking sound you hear. No, it isn't Monica Lewinsky or former Rep. Barney Frank.

  • I guess we have raised economically ignorant generation(s).

  • The difference between RFK Jr. & MushHead? At least RFK Jr. admits he has had a part of his brain eaten by parasites.

  • Sucks to be you Ms. Human Debris.

  • Is comedy making a comeback?

    Didn't care for that joke? How about this one?


    A nice, calm and respectable lady went into the pharmacy, walked right up to the pharmacist, looked straight into his eyes, and said, "I would like to buy some cyanide."
    The pharmacist asked, "Why in the world do you need cyanide?"
    The lady replied, "I need it to poison my husband."
    The pharmacists eyes got big and he exclaimed, "Lord have mercy! I can't give you cyanide to kill your husband! That's against the law! I'll lose my license! They'll throw both of us in jail! All kinds of bad things will happen. Absolutely not! You CANNOT have any cyanide!"
    The lady reached into her purse and pulled out a picture of her husband in bed with the pharmacist's wife.
    The pharmacist looked at the picture and replied, "Well now. That's different. You didn't tell me you had a prescription."

    The ONT Musical Interlude & Refund Free Emporium



    On this day: 8 May 1965
    The filming of the promotional film for Bob Dylan’s 'Subterranean Homesick Blues' took place at the side of the Savoy Hotel in London. Actors in the background were Allen Ginsberg and Bob Neuwirth. The original clip was actually the opening segment of D. A. Pennebaker's film, Dont Look Back, a documentary on Bob Dylan's 1965 tour of England. In the film, Dylan, who came up with the idea, holds up cue cards for the camera with selected words and phrases from the lyrics. The cue cards were written by Donovan, Allen Ginsberg, Bob Neuwirth and Dylan himself. While staring at the camera, he flipped the cards as the song played. Via thisdayinmusic.com

    I received the following from Isophorone Blog, a regular contributor to my email In-Box with good stuff. Tonight is no different.

    "May 8 is the anniversary of the birth of Louis Moreau Gottschalk (1829 - 1869), one of the first American-born composers to achieve international fame. Here is a piece of his called "Columbia." (I couldn't resist!)"

    Gender Reveal Party = Genius Award Winners.

    A COUPLE have been slapped with a £30,000 fine after dying an entire waterfall a bright blue colour for a gender reveal party.

    The unnamed pair triggered a wave of criticism for their distasteful stunt after pouring a chemical down a sight-seeing hotspot.
