Weekly Pinup Gals

This weekend's pinup gals are from Harry Ekman and were seen on calendars during the late 1940's. A Chicago artist, Harry Ekman worked side by side with fellow Sundblom shop veteran Gil Elvgren, developing a lush style in oils uncannily like that of his mentor. His girls have the same fresh, wholesome glow as Elvgren's, and are seen in such typical Elvgren situations as bicycling, wading, and walking the dog. Like Elvgren, Ekman specialised in calendars but also worked in advertising.

On This Day In History

July 18, 1969 - Incident On Chappaquiddick Island
Shortly after leaving a party on Chappaquiddick Island, Senator Edward "Ted" Kennedy of Massachusetts drives an Oldsmobile off a wooden bridge into a tide-swept pond. Kennedy escaped the submerged car, but his passenger, 28-year-old Mary Jo Kopechne, did not. The senator did not report the fatal car accident for 10 hours.

On the evening of July 18, 1969, while most Americans were home watching television reports on the progress of the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission, Kennedy and his cousin Joe Gargan were hosting a cookout and party at a rented cottage on Chappaquiddick Island, an affluent island near Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. The party was planned as a reunion for Kopechne and five other women, all veterans of the late Senator Robert F. Kennedy's 1968 presidential campaign. Bobby Kennedy was Ted Kennedy's older brother, and following Bobby's assassination in June 1968 Ted took up his family's political torch. In 1969, Ted Kennedy was elected majority whip in the U.S. Senate, and he seemed an early front-runner for the 1972 Democratic presidential nomination.

Just after 11 p.m., Kennedy left the party with Kopechne, by his account to drive to the ferry slip where they would catch a boat back to their respective lodgings in Edgartown on Martha's Vineyard. While driving down the main roadway, Kennedy took a sharp turn onto the unpaved Dike Road, drove for a short distance, and then missed the ramp to a narrow wooden bridge and drove into Poucha Pond. Kennedy, a married man, claimed the Dike Road excursion was a wrong turn. However, both he and Kopechne had previously driven down the same road, which led to a secluded ocean beach just beyond the bridge. In addition, Kopechne had left both her purse and room key at the party.

Kennedy escaped the car and then dove down in an attempt to retrieve Kopechne from the sunken Oldsmobile. Failing, he stumbled back to the cottage, where he enlisted Gargan and another friend in a second attempt to save Kopechne. The three men were unsuccessful; her body was not recovered. The trio then went to the ferry slip, where Kennedy dove into the water and swam back to Edgartown, about a mile away. He returned to his room at the Shiretown Inn, changed his clothes, and at 2:25 a.m. stepped out of his room when he spotted the innkeeper, Russell Peachey. He told Peachey that he been awakened by noise next door and asked what time it was. He then returned to his room.

Was Kennedy trying to establish an alibi? In Leo Damore's Senatorial Privilege--the Chappaquiddick Cover-up (1988), the author recounts an interview with Joe Gargan in which Gargan claimed that Kennedy had plotted to make Kopechne the driver and sole occupant of the automobile. Whatever Kennedy's intentions, on the morning of July 19 he went back to Chappaquiddick Island and then returned to Edgartown. At 9:45 a.m., 10 hours after driving off Dike Road bridge, Kennedy reported the accident to Edgartown Police Chief Dominick Arena and admitted that he was the driver.

On July 25, Kennedy pleaded guilty to leaving the scene of an accident, received a two-month suspended sentence, and had his license suspended for a year. That evening, in a televised statement, he called the delayed reporting of the accident "indefensible" but vehemently denied that he been involved in any improprieties with Kopeche. He also asked his constituents to help him decide whether to continue his political career. Receiving a positive response, he resumed his senatorial duties at the end of a month.

There is speculation that he used his considerable influence to avoid more serious charges that could have resulted from the episode. Although the incident on Chappaquiddick Island derailed his presidential hopes, Kennedy continued to serve as a U.S. senator of Massachusetts into the 21st century.

Let me know who else you wish to contact and I will research it and provide the contact information for you as quickly as possible. Remember, if you contact these people, try to remain polite and do not make any threats. Just let them know how you feel about their mixing politics and entertainment. For the lawyers out there: the information provided above is publicly available information so back off.

Goodbye Yellow Brickhead

"Sir" Elton John is complaining about censorship in America, according to a recent article from the BBC. For those who don't know, Elton John lives in America and calls Atlanta home nowadays. He is tremendously rich. I've enjoyed his music over the years but I beg to differ with him on this occasion. In fact, I am now convinced that Elton John is full of s**t after reading this.

He says, "There's an atmosphere of fear in America right now that is deadly. Everyone is too career-conscious".

Well, that makes sense. I'm career-conscious too. The economy is going through a recovery and the unemployment rate is still high even though it is finally falling and the economy is improving. Even in normal times, I'm conscious of my job performance.

But then he goes on to say, "Stars are scared to speak out against war in Iraq because of "bullying tactics" used by the US government to hinder free speech.

I'm sorry. Did I miss something here? When did the government pass legislation censoring performers? Did I miss that part about black-cloaked FBI agents storming the stage and carrying off some singer to a secluded torture chamber somewhere? Elton John is obviously privy to certain acts of the US Government that I missed. The last time I checked, the blithering idiots in Hollywood and elsewhere were all howling away against the war on terror without FBI intervention.

To date, there have been exactly zero acts against performers by the US Government for taking an anti-war stance. As far as the Bush administration has been concerned these performers have been free to make complete asses of themselves if they so wished .. and many have.

But Elton continues, ".. voiced concern that it appeared acceptable to speak out if you were pro-Bush, using the example of country singer Toby Keith, but not if you were critical of the President, as in the case of country rock band, the Dixie Chicks.

Again, I ask Elton where the storm troopers are? What do you mean it is "not acceptable" to be critical of the President, like the Dixie Sluts Chicks? And why do you think Toby Keith's speaking out for President Bush is considered "acceptable"?

Aaaahhhhh, here we finally start to get to the bottom of the matter. It's not actually the government at all that is hurting your feelings is it, Elton? It's not the government that's not accepting your criticism either? It's the fans, isn't it? The people who buy your records and those of the Dixie Chicks and Toby Keith and all the others. You can't stand it when you and your ilk stand up and preach politics at your fans and they turn away, can you? Who the f**k do you think you are, "Sir" Elton? Do you think the people who buy concert tickets and record albums should just blindly buy whatever you spit out. If so, you can go directly to hell. Do not pass "GO". Do not collect $200.

Once again, an egotistical entertainer confuses the fans with the government. "Sir" Elton, you need to remember that it's a free market out there and if we don't like what you're selling we don't have to buy it, OK? There are 290 million people out there in this great country and not all of them go along with your agenda. In fact, most of them feel we did the right thing to defend ourselves after 9/11 and that we did the right thing to remove a dangerous dictator in Iraq. We believe the Bush administration did the right thing to make the world a safer place for people like you to make lots of money and enjoy a good life in safety.

So don't point the finger of blame at the government. George Bush probably couldn't care less how you feel about the war. Your job is to make music. His job is to protect and defend the people of this great nation. So why don't you and your friends make all the music you want to. Make anti-war songs if you wish. Help yourselves. The government won't stop you. Under our Constitution the government can't stop you even if they wanted to. The people who buy records and attend concerts, now that's another matter. We will spend our money where we damn well please and if we like what Toby Keith is offering and dislike what the Dixie Chicks are offering, that's just our choice .. and we make it freely without any intervention from the US Government .. or from you either. So piss off with your talk of censorship.

And while we're on the subject, "Sir" Elton .. we don't have an aristocracy here in America. We don't believe in lords and ladies and barons and such. If the Queen Of England knighted you, that's her business. So drop the "Sir" shit while you're here. Around here, we call people "sir" out of respect, not because they hold some bloody foreign title .. and after reading your remarks I sure as hell have no respect for you.

Wild, Wild Midwest

Now, here's an interesting story from my local newspaper entitled "Arming delivery drivers a tossup for pizzerias".

It seems that pizza delivery is a hazardous profession nowadays. There have been 33 robberies of pizza delivery guys and gals just since January here in Indianapolis. What the f**K? Those kids never carry more than a few bucks on them since most customers pay nowadays with check or credit card. I usually order my pizza from the local Pizza Hut at their web site. They charge my credit card and all I do is sign the receipt when the kid gets here (adding a tip of course). These kids are earning minimum wage and the least they deserve is a tip and a smile from the customer.

I'm kinda torn on this issue of these kids carrying guns though. They obviously need protection from the weirdos out there but at the same time most of the delivery drivers I encounter are young kids in their late teens or early twenties. I doubt any of them have had any training in gun handling and a gun in the hands of an amateur is a dangerous thing. In a panic, there is no telling who they might shoot .. maybe even themselves. That scares me.

These kids shouldn't have to carry guns. The police and the courts need to enforce the laws. My recommendation to these kids is: if you're attacked, give them your money and run away .. then get on the cell phone and wait for the police. My advice to the people who attack these kids: don't do it in my neighborhood because if the police don't get you, I will. Capische?

Question To Our Readers: Please weigh-in on this issue. I'm curious as to how you feel about arming pizza delivery drivers. And while you're at it, I have a question for any pizza company employees out there .. many years ago, I had a friend who managed a pizza store (with a national chain who shall remain un-named) and I was surprised to learn that they only paid their employees half of the current minimum wage at that time (1978). Their waitresses and drivers were expected to make up the balance in tips. All tips were put in the register and recorded. If an employee didn't make up the difference at the end of the year they were paid in full but terminated. Does anyone out there know if this is still practiced at any of the fast food joints? I'm curious.

Smoke And Mirrors

I saw this recent headline and article from Reuters and I immediately started celebrating ....

House Votes to Block Aid for Saudi Arabia

Thu Jul 15, 2004 11:40 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Lawmakers cheered as the House of Representatives voted on Thursday to strip financial assistance for Saudi Arabia from a foreign aid bill because of criticism that the country has not been sufficiently cooperative in the U.S. war on terror.

I thought, "Wow! That's great. They finally decided to tell the Saudis where to shove it. Then I continued reading ....

The House voted 217-191 to remove $25,000 in the $19.4 billion 2005 foreign aid bill earmarked for Saudi Arabia. The funds were designated for military training but approval would have triggered millions of dollars in discounts on hardware and other military training, lawmakers said.

What the f**k, over? Who are these clowns kidding? They chopped $25,000 out of a $19,400,000,000 aid bill? What about the other billions for Egypt, Gaza, the West Bank and other assorted "friends of America" that they left in the bill?

I whipped out the Barking Moonbat Slide Rule and quickly figured out that our Congressmen had managed to clap themselves on the back for penalizing the ragheads a whopping .0000128% of the total allocation. Hell, it cost more than that just for the time these assholes spent arguing over the aid bill. Meanwhile, our "friends", the Saudis continue to make trillions selling us oil while they accept billions in aid bribes from our government.

Aren't you about sick and f**king tired of this s**t? I damned sure am! What makes it so bad is that the Amendment to the Appropriations Bill described above was passed with a majority of Democrats voting for it and a majority of Republican voting against it. I'll bet you the Dummycraps will now start bragging about how they're really sticking it to the Saudis. What a bunch of fucktards!!

Go take a look at HR.4818, the House Foreign Appropriations Bill for yourself. Especially, take a peek at the various amendments proposed and who voted for what. Get educated .... then get mad as hell.

Kentucky Moonbat

California, New York and Taxachusetts may brag about their Moonbats and exhibit them publicly on a regular basis .... but we think that when it comes to real Barking Moonbats no state can compete with Kentucky. Fortunately, the Barking Moonbats in Kentucky are mostly harmless .... like this lovely young lady who is shown demonstating her deep, abiding respect for the local police in Paducah. If only Martha Stewart had behaved like this ....

Now They’re Really Scared

Al-Jazeera sneaked a reporter close to Eglin AFB in Florida to get the dope on the USAF's newest "Bunker Buster" bomb. It's a 30,000 lb. monster called MOP (Massive Ordinance Penetrator).

Al-Jazeera says the new bomb is one-third larger than MOAB (Mother Of All Bombs), previously used by the USAF to ferret out weasels who are dug in (like Al-Jazeera).

What Al-Jazeera doesn't know is the secret name of the new bomb .... MILOAB (Mother-In-Law Of All Bombs) - it not only blows your ass up but it never goes away either.

Barking Moonbat Of The Week Award

Julian Bond "They use our troops for photo ops while cutting veterans’ benefits and combat pay. They operate a perpetual motion attack machine and squeal like stuck pigs if you answer back. Overdosed on testosterone, they’ve descended into the very vulgarity they say they want to keep off the airwaves. They believe in the politics of fear; we believe in the politics of hope. Now they want to write bigotry back into the Constitution; they want to make one group of Americans outsiders to our common heritage.

They want to do what has never been done before – to amend the Constitution to create a group of second-class citizens. Our Constitution is the last hope of freedom; it cannot become a carrier of prejudice and intolerance. And what about the opposition party? Too often they’re not an opposition; they’re an amen corner. With some notable exceptions, they have been absent without leave from this battle for America’s soul.

When one party is shameless, the other party cannot afford to be spineless".

After making all these statements about the Bush administration (and many more even worse), Mr. Bond and the NAACP were amazed that President Bush declined to speak at the organization's convention. Go figure.

On This Day In History

July 17, 1955 - Disneyland Opens
Disneyland, Walt Disney's metropolis of nostalgia, fantasy, and futurism, opens on July 17, 1955. The $17 million theme park was built on 160 acres of former orange groves in Anaheim, California, and soon brought in staggering profits. Today, Disneyland hosts more than 14 million visitors a year, who spend close to $3 billion.

In the early 1950s, Walt Disney began designing a huge amusement park to be built near Los Angeles. He intended Disneyland to have educational as well as amusement value and to entertain adults and their children. Land was bought in the farming community of Anaheim, about 25 miles southeast of Los Angeles, and construction began in 1954. In the summer of 1955, special invitations were sent out for the opening of Disneyland on July 17. Unfortunately, the pass was counterfeited and thousands of uninvited people were admitted into Disneyland on opening day. The park was not ready for the public: food and drink ran out, a women's high-heel shoe got stuck in the wet asphalt of Main Street USA, and the Mark Twain Steamboat nearly capsized from too many passengers.

Disneyland soon recovered, however, and attractions such as the Castle, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, Snow White's Adventures, Space Station X-1, Jungle Cruise, and Stage Coach drew countless children and their parents. Special events and the continual building of new state-of-the-art attractions encouraged them to visit again.

Extra Credit

Word Of The Day: "gerrymander"
Elbridge Gerry was elected governor of Massachusetts in 1810 and reelected in 1811. In his second term his party, the Jeffersonians, desiring to retain their control of the state, rearranged the election districts in their favor in a grotesque salamander-like shape, a political maneuver then named by his opponents and since known as a gerrymander (from his name and salamander). Gerry was defeated for reelection in 1812, but he was immediately nominated by the Jeffersonians for Vice President on the ticket with James Madison, and he was elected.
