“Whoa! That’s Jessica Rabbit! And there’s  Pocahontas with Red Hot Riding Hood! Dang!”  The image is wrong, though.  Needs a Warner Brothers Jaw-Drop.  Like this:

Kent State Day – 4 May 1970

770px-map_of_shootings_at_kent_state_university_in_19701

Many sequential decisions and errors in judgment resulted in the deaths of Four Innocents, yet few condemn the true perpetrators.

After reviewing many videos posted on the utoobage about the event, I’ve come to the conclusion that there is a lot of fabrication going on in the “information age,” just as there was in 1970 with the campus infiltrators.  One pathetic moron even posted a video that claims the atrocity happened in April 1970.

History teaches valuable lessons, but rewriting history and exploiting the deaths of The Innocents to push a political agenda  is truly despicable.

A Nice Country Village by the Sea

zoom-out

Some day, when my kids are grown and on their own, and I’m looking for a place to retire with the lovely and gracious Mrs. Strutts,  I’d like a nice country village in a temperate climate, maybe near the ocean.  A place to let the world pass by without traffic, without paved roads, without telemarketers.

tristan_da_cunha4A place I could do whatever I wanted, whenever I wanted;  stay up late and sleep in as long as I liked.  And blog via satellite.

Maybe set up a little bed and breakfast stop for tourists and travellers, with a wine and cheese shop with tacky homemade postcards and hand-screened purple t-shirts. Maybe a place like this.  Or not. Click here, or click the top image, then zoom out.

Excellent version of  The Foundations’ “Build Me Up Buttercup.”  You know she’s singing to YOU…  wait for it. (Bunkessa found this one.)

Well, gabba gabba hey.
