Speaking Truth To Power

From the US House of Representatives, Rep. Ruben Gallego on the person that is Donald J. Trump, who he is, what he stands for, what he's said and what he supports.



Let's not forget all that he is and more than that, let's not forget who we are and who and what we have always said what we are about and/or to what we aspire--the "better angels of our nature", I would hope and always thought.

Then there's this from Jon Stewart.



Finally, there's this, from some time ago and David Letterman.



Let's be and stay better than Donald Trump.

Senator Roy Blunt: David Letterman's "Stooge of the Night"

As I said I would, here is the video from "The Late Show with David Letterman" and his "Stooge of the Night" segment:



And he deserves every second and every mention.

Missouri Senator Roy Blunt on "The Late Show With David Letterman"

Yessirree, Bob, none other than our own Missouri Senator Roy Blunt was on the best late-night talk show there is last night. The only trouble is--for the Senator, anyway--it wasn't in person and it wasn't good for him.

For those who don't know, Dave does a segment called "Stooge of the Night" wherein Dave lampoons the Senators who voted against the weapons background checks last month, even though their constituents poll solidly for it.  The fact is, 85% of Missourians are for background checks but our Senator voted against them.

An example, in case you've never seen one and is, coincidentally, about next-door-neighbor in Arkansas' Senator John Boozman:



As soon as CBS posts it, I'll put it here, likely.

For now, here is a link to more "Stooge of the Night" segments:

Entertainment overnight

Entertainment overnight, redux

I'm so old...

...I remember when the late-night talk shows lasted an hour and a half.

And there was only one.

And it was funny.

Very funny.

Not only that, but as the guests came out and were done with their interview, they slid to the side, the left, as we faced them, and stayed on the show for the entire program.

Pretty different, especially compared to today's interviews and shows.

Another Adele performance (on Letterman's show)

Adele's voice, her writing and lyrics and then the simple, beautiful, striking guitar.

Wow.

So simple.

So nice.

wow

The marriage of Adele's wonderful voice and fantastic, rich lyrics and song writing, with Dave Letterman's recording capability knocks me out.

Enjoy.

To expose you to Adele and Letterman's terrific recordings

On giving advice

Robin Williams, to David Letterman on "The Late Show with David Letterman" on why he--Robin--shouldn't give advice to Charlie Sheen:

"Me?  No!  Me giving advice to an alcoholic would be like me giving a facial to a leper."


Have a great weekend, y'all...

The Chilean miners--up to now

One of the many terrific things that I've heard that developed out of the Chilean mine disaster, where the 33 miners have been trapped underground for 69 days is that they decided, while they were trapped down there, that, if they made it out and there was money to be made from their story, that they would split it evenly amongst all of them.  I understand they insisted that they were to have an attorney there, to draw up the papers.

How cool is that?

That's terrific.

And Dave Letterman just announced that all 33 of the miners will be on his show next Tuesday night.

Wow.

The world and their lives will never be the same, for sure.
