Crappy Taxidermy Cat Fail

Spotted this machine here, and all I can say is WOW.

The following is the Feb. 29, 2016 Medal of Honor award ceremony for Chief Special Warfare Operator (SEAL) Edward C. Byers Jr. who won the award during actions he took in a hostage rescue in 2012. [Jump to 00:16:00 to hear his story.]

Scientists have discovered a way to extend the lives of lab mice by 40 percent. Somehow that’s darkly humorous to me.

This is a must read for all voters: Dr. Thomas Sowell.

Foxes are idiots.

Happy Birthday, Ella Logan.

Saturday Matinee – Gene Pitney, The Reflections & Aretha Franklin

The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence. Great song and great movie.

That’s how teenagers danced to The Reflections in 1964. Meanwhile Aretha Franklin was crankin’ out this:

Have a great weekend, folks, and if you have a minute, tweet #FreeStacy. He’s a good guy who’s done nothing wrong.

February 28th should be a 48 hour long day every four years so we can avoid resetting our calendars. Either that, or we have two February 28ths in a row so we can undo our screw ups from the the previous one.

“You cannot take any people, of any color, and exempt them from the requirements of civilization — including work, behavioral standards, personal responsibility and all the other basic things that the clever intelligentsia disdain — without ruinous consequences to them and to society at large.”Dr. Thomas Sowell

Everyone who saw the Superb Owl L Half-Time Show with the abhorrent tribute to The Black Panthers must read this.

This is how you sing You Belong To Me.

How to excavate a buried VW Microbus Single Cab with some really annoying music.

Saturday Matinee – Ice Stacking, Room Full Of Blues, Magic Slim & Buddy Guy

Lake Superior pwns the ice [via].

13 February 2016
“Lake Superior put on a dramatic show with her recent ice in Duluth, Minnesota.
[…]
The seemingly endless ice sheets broke into large plates and stacked on shore, sounding much like breaking glass. The ice thickness ranged from about 1/4″ to about 3″ thick.”

Room Full Of Blues (AKA The Institute of Awesome). They’ve been around for decades and don’t get half the respect they deserve. I heard them live in the ’80s and my ears are still ringing.

How ’bout some Magic Slim? Nice bad boy groove, that.

Buddy Guy coached a young prodigy on stage, and displayed no condescension whatsoever. What a class act.

Have a great weekend, folks. Be back here to tomorrow, because I said so.
