Be a Night Janitor just like Mommy! (Note that it says, “Girls Only.”)
Not to worry, though, as there is a related educational toy just for the future Junior Maintenance Manager in your family, called “My Mop, My Bucket and My Squeegee.”
We don’t intend to turn this blog into a political forum, but occasionally we feel the need to speak up about government insanity.
Forget the inane Nobel Peace Prize business. That “prize” was reduced in value to the contents of a full spittoon when the creator of modern terrorism, Yassir Arafat, was awarded it in 1994.
Meanwhile, there is the invented crisis of global warming/climate change, and more recently the supposed crisis of health care reform.
The former has everything to do with confiscatory taxes based upon the absurd irrational premise that natural fluctuations in the average temperature of the earth are caused by humanity. We can discuss that hot/cold topic another time.
The latter has nothing to do with health care, and everything to do with government control of the health care insurance industry. Lookee here:
President Obama admits to the inefficiency of existing taxpayer-funded government-run healthcare programs: “Medicare and Medical are about to go into the red in a few years.”
Mr. Redshoes, you need more homework assignments so you can graduate and get a decent job to pay Earl for a strip and paint special. Otherwise you’ll prolly have to pay someone to buy your four-wheeled artwork.
We also suggest you start saving for tatt removal laser work on that inkbooger you smeared on your forearm. Pure efficient genius.

Archie Bell & the Drells doin’ the “Tighten Up.” No lip synching there.
Chicago Transit Authority from 1970. Chicago was a lot of funk and whiteboy soul and I loved this band before it got all weeny. They were cool, even after “Color My World,” the slow-dance-rubbing-anthem for teenagers everywhere. (Janessa Vapors was in great demand whenever it was played.)
“Sweet Home Chicago,” a Robert Johnson song, as performed by Buddy Guy in the Elmore James style. I might be mistaken, but it looks like the late Stevie Ray Vaughan‘s band Double Trouble is backing him up. Dan Aykroyd & John Belushi’s “Blues Brothers” resurrected the song, but dedicated it to Magic Sam.
Now for something completely differnet. At the TR board meeting today, we discussed whether or not we should allow/encourage submissions of links to the Utoobage that demonstrate the various talents of our Loyal Readers.
The answer was a solid but wavering YES.
So here’s our first submitutante, Dan, who knows how to shred a guitar and doesn’t mind posting it on the Utoobage. Note that he’s torn the head off his electromo-gitfiddle since it was obviously in his way.
What kinda man follows Tacky Raccoons? Well, there you go. If anyone else would like to contribute, post your hidden talents, toss us some emailage and maybe we’ll give you some pro-bono face time.
