Tuesday Stuff

The straight-up racism and sexism of the New York Post is on full display here, people...



..."Worst Persons" (the beat goes on for Rupert The Pirate, caught lying about Obama references to Hitler and Stalin on Fix Noise -aaarrrgghhh, me hearties!; Repug U.S. Congresswoman Sue Myrick gets the silver for writing a forward to a book about rounding up scary Muslims - Gaubatz? I thought that's what the wingnuts did every day...heh; but Bill Orally gets the nod for speaking out against "the public sector" to the point where he has to be corrected by the fossilized Homo sapien known as Brit Hume - maybe Brit should change his name to "Gaubatz" just to make things interesting)...



...and why is it appropriate to follow Billo with a cartoon; Happy 40th Birthday to Sesame Street! (and God bless Lena Horne, still with us at 92)...



...and happy 62nd birthday to Greg Lake, here with ELP back in the time of bell-bottom jeans and leisure suits, though the highlight is the percussion tutorial by Carl Palmer...and yeah, I didn't get the "bell" thing either - I vaguely recall that this concert was broadcast on ABC, and I guess they're the ones who had a problem with the line in the song about "seven virgins and a mule"...funny.
