Easy Listening Sunday – “You and I”

Michael Buble, sexy and soulful – the boy can eat crackers in my bed any time.

“Point/Counterpoint” with “Max” on my Dan Savage post

Maximilian Schell in “Judgment at Nuremberg”

I got a couple of very polite responses from a commenter named “Max”Β on my post the other day about Dan Savage’s speech in Seattle a couple of weeks ago. My response to one of his comments started getting rather long, so I figured, “What the heck? Make it a post!”

I don’t know Max personally – I would love to get to know him better – but as I said, he has been very polite in his comments, and he makes some very valid points. I appreciate his candor and his willingness to put forth his opinions. (If Max is a “she”, my apologies in advance!)

Mr. Savage, It Ain’t Because You’re Gay….

************
The “It Gets Better” Pledge: Everyone deserves to be respected for who they are.
I pledge to spread this message to my friends, family and neighbors.
Β Β  Β  I’ll speak up against hate and intolerance whenever I see it, at school and at work.

A video recently came to light over a speech that was given by Dan Savage to a group of students as part of the National High School Journalism Conference in Seattle.

In this speech, Mr. Savage clearly demonstrated why he isn’t asked to speak at many of these conferences:

A Tale of Two Rate Cuts

How do these people manage to keep their heads from exploding?

For the past 24 months or more, all we have heard from Mr. Obama and his crew on Capitol Hill is how we simply MUST let the Bush Tax Cuts expire, because the government will “lose” money if they are extended. (Never mind that that “revenue” won’t really be “lost”, as it was never there to begin with – this is how the Harvard-educated, Nobel-prize-winning “economists” think on that sideΒ of the aisle)

All we’ve heard is how “everyone” has to pay “their fair share”.

“Don’t Be Cruel”

Heard this last night on “Magic City” – it’s from 1975, and is sung by Billy Swan.

This is a very cool version of the Elvis Presley classic!

Have a great night….

And They Wonder Why We Don’t Trust Them…..

.

.
A couple of interesting things have happened in the news lately that are completely unrelated, but for one thing: they make it glaringly obvious – to anyone who is willing to pay attention – that the people in whom the American people place their trust aren’t worthy of that trust.

In the recent Trayvon Martin/George Zimmerman story, it is becoming increasingly clear that the very journalists who ask us to trust them when they are “reporting” the news are guilty of manipulating their stories to fit a narrative.
