Tonight's ONT Has Everything!
Hello. I'm Jerry Hathaway, with Everything.
Want to know everything? There are the only 2 books you need to read:
Problematic
M*A*S*H at 50: the Robert Altman comedy that revels in cruel misogyny Some pajama-wearing soy boy has a problem with M*A*S*H*. Not the TV show which was drowning in the 1980s version of PC by the time it went off the air, but the movie that spawned it. The idiot doesn't even seem to realize that it was an anti-Vietnam War film wearing Korean War clothing. He even says this:
The sexism is present in the 1968 novel by Richard Hooker that the film is based on, but it’s greatly magnified in the screenplay by Ring Lardner Jr and the extensive improvisation that reportedly occurred on set. The shower scene, the broadcasting of the lovemaking between Houlihan and Burns, and a subplot involving a character who wants to kill himself because he is afraid he is gay; none of them are present in the book.
I've read the book. Hell, I have the book, right here, and that stuff is in there. Idiot.
The Scale Of The North American Slave Trade
Here's a good article that puts it all in proportion: SLAVERY? WE WERE A FOOTNOTE. Get some facts to own some libs when they start spouting off about this “unique” American sin.
Quip Of The Day
And here is, as they say, the rest of the story. In Case You Missed It
The Trump campaign is trolling Adam Schiff.
Nobody read this. A (Former) Night Owl’s Guide to Becoming a Morning Person
Science Takes Balls
Testicles have taste buds that can detect sweet flavours (sic) It's a British link. There's a chip company in Canada who advertises “We put the U in flavour”. Not a slogan that would fly down here in the colonies. Pro tip: If you're going to search for more on this tasty story, don't accidentally do a GIS with safe search off.
The Full Story This is a longish article that tracks the whole FBI scandal in some detail.
The FBI Scandal
Why We March Tomorrow is the annual March-For-Life in Washington DC. I will be attending, along with my 15 year old son who will be going for the first time. I've given him strict instructions on how to act. If some crazy Black Israelite starts screaming racist crap at him, and a creepy Indian starts beating a drum in his face, he is under strict instructions to just smile uneasily. I want some of that sweet, sweet CNN settlement money. You know who else will be there? President Donald J Trump. Reagan never made it to the march, neither did either of the Bushes, but President “not-a-real-conservative” Trump will be there. This may be the moment when my qualified support for Trump becomes a full-throated roar. There is no greater stain on our national honor than our acceptance of infanticide. For those of y'all who missed it, 3 years ago I wrote a post on this blog explaining why we march:
Tonight's ONT brought to you by choices:Why We March
*Mumble mumble* years ago, a young woman found her life shattered. She had fallen for a man who turned out to be a cad.
He left her alone and pregnant, to return to a wife and kids that she had known nothing about. Scared and humiliated, she traveled to Texas.
There she gave birth to a son. The nurse handed her the baby, and then realized that this was an adoption case and took him away.
Sobbing, she thought “He's going to a better life. He's going to people who will love and care for him, as I can't”
And I did.
But she was wrong. She may not have been able to care for me, but I never for a moment believed that she didn't love me.
35 years later we met again, for the first time, and I told her that. And that's why I have 2 moms.
This is what #MarchForLife means to me.

The greatest, most luxurious defense, would make a Roman Emperor weep with envy; the gilding on top of the solid gold fittings would cause a mafioso's wife to have hysterics. Yes, my friends, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get in on the ground floor of a new Trump development - Trump Impeachment - brings you everything you expect from the Trump brand - high quality, conservative decor, a dress code in the restaurants, and Vegas-style razzmatazz that will call the shades of Frank, Sammy, and Dino to serenade your champagne infused dinner with several lonely supermodels.
For the low down payment you can watch as the finest defense team ever assembled, shaming the League of Justice, builds the defense while filling the swamp. Just sign right here and get this complimentary souvenir pen with my signature in genuine gold! Don't delay, act today!

Oliver Harmon "Spearchucker" Jones was a surgeon who appears in the MASH novel by Richard Hooker, the MASH movie and also in the M*A*S*H television series. He was portrayed by Fred Williamson in the movie and by Timothy Brown , who also played the part of corpsman Corporal Judson in the film.
In the television series Spearchucker appears in six episodes during the early part of Season 1 of the series and was one of the original Swampmen, along with Trapper, Hawkeye, and Frank Burns, but the character was dropped from the series after 6 appearances.

The Archbishop ripped the "Catholic" legislators that support abortion during the homily - and praised those leaders supporting pro-life ( I wonder whom he could possibly mean). I counted at least three cardinals there along with a number of Patriarchs of the Orthodox branches of the faith.
Honestly, it was something to be experienced.

Yet, I'm quite sure people were warned this was the slope we were on.
Also, I believe there was a disgusting article a few weeks ago about a couple that would get knocked up, because when she was early in her pregnancy, she was sexual dynamite with the BF and, then, she'd go have an abortion.

The one that sticks out at me is Busy Phillips. No, I don't know what she's done or why she's famous, all I know is she's an actress and has not only had an abortion, but goes on to lecture conservatives on reproductive rights and also stars in a bunch of commercials.
If, for whatever reason, she opens her mouth at me, I plan on answering with, "I have nothing to say to a child murderer."

I love that meme. It speaks volumes.
Have you ever watched Long Lost Family,? It is about people that were given up for adoption and reunited with their long lost biological family members.

Interestingly, the TV show was much more respectful to faith; see William Christopher's portrayal of Father Mulcahy.
I also like a lot that the character of Charles Emerson Winchester (who joined the cast of the TV show after Larry Linville as Frank Burns left, in 1977) was openly and proudly conservative, yet humane, smart and witty.

If I remember right, the novelist Walker Percy (a pretty devout Catholic, for what it's worth) remarked in passing in one of his books that Frank Burns was his favorite character in M*A*S*H. Not that he liked him per se, but he preferred "an honest bigot" to the hypocritical bigotry of someone like Hawkeye, who would only associate with those as "open-minded" as he was.

Sometime 500 BC West Africa entered the Iron Age. More sharply perhaps than Europe did; Europe retained a heroic memory of Bronze Age warriors, and held onto bronze longer than it needed to.
When the Bantu conquered these 2/3 African, 1/3 pygmy peoples they left very little behind them.

Trump should sell tickets to his events. He's the First President/Entertainer. Better even than Reagan and Reagan was a) an actor and b) yuge in Hollywood industry. Yet Trump is better.
Seeing him is like seeing Sinatra but with new songs at every event and mostly, if not wholly, unrehearsed.
He's a phenomenon that none of us will witness again. This in spite of the selective blockade imposed by the MFM. It's no boast to say the MFM is going to miss him when he leaves the office to Barron in twenty years.

Awesome ONT
I had a time when I contemplated abortion. My husband was leaving me, we had two boys already. I was going to be alone with them. I hadn't a home, or a bank account or a job. I didn't know what to do. I talked to my doctor who delivered my two boys and he encouraged me to pray.
I told the baby in my belly I couldn't do it. I was scared. I hated myself for even thinking about it.
A week later, at 14 weeks, my baby girl let go and I had a miscarriage.
I still hate myself for it.

Then play the tape of Biden bragging about forcing the Ukrainian

And then moon Schiff and Nadler."
I was listening to some of the show tonight, and it really struck me when the black woman from FL said "and THAT'S why VP Biden demanded that the prosecutor be fired"--I couldn't believe they acknowledged it.
Shortly afterward Zoe whatshername went through the whole how many billions we've given to Ukraine, how the government had to scramble to spend their money once Trumop held aid up last year, and then asked several times "What happened between 2017, when Trump gave them a billion, and last year, when he held it up for his quid pro quo?"

Funny you should mention All in The Family. I just mentioned I'm from Odessa, TX. There was an episode of AITF where Archie's head was on the chopping block because he sent something to London, England instead of London, Ontario.
Meathead tells him it's understandable and then says "it could have been Odessa, Russia instead of Odessa, TX".
As God is my waitress, the local TV news ran that clip for a couple of days.

Not gonna be much help there. Despite the truly excellent cast, I never liked that show. I tend to be very picky about sitcoms.

Speaking of Married With Children, one of the early episodes was on the other day. It was the episode when Al needed to return an overdue book to the library.
Great episode that I remember fondly from my youth. When I watched it the other day, it made me feel exactly the same as it did 30 years ago.

Cheers or The Simpsons. I'd suck at it, but I think it'd be a fun environment to try. Seinfeld would be a bridge too far only because the storylines are so tightly intertwined.
My options would be relatively small, however, because I skipped the vast majority of TV product over the years.

A few months after I went to live with them I was goofing around in the farm yard when a rooster started chasing me and flying into the air to spur me. I was fleeing the rooster and screaming for help. My aunt came out of the house with a butcher's knife, grab the rooster and cut off its head. She said don't worry parker, it is for dinner.
That was when, at a young age, that I was somewhere safe and where people truly loved me. Her name was Grace and she became my real mother that day. I will never forget that day, my earliest memory. God bless you aunt Grace.

Fun fact: there were two movies made in the '50s, at the height of his fame, that more or less portrayed him -- The Great Man (1956), directed by and starring Jose Ferrer, and A Face in the Crowd (1957) with Andy Griffith. In both cases the Godfrey character was fictionalized but still clearly shown as an asshole behind the smiling, folksy demeanor.

Probably should have included a sarc tag there. We're only mountainous if you compare us to Nebraska (when i take the motorcycle out for winding roads, I head into SW Wis). Also, easy to speed when not much to look at.
That said, though counties you were in probably were more likely dem leaning, they are also heavy on farming, and Trump has done well for them. Especially since he hasn't touched the ethanol subsidies (bleh). Small price to pay I suppose to keep our two R senators in good standing with the citizens.

given up for adoption and reunited with their long lost biological
family members. Through DNA and detective work they are able to be
reunited. It is really emotional and ends up being very pro-life, which
may not have been the original intent.
I have not. In my case it was rather anti-climatic. Mom hired an agency to track me down, they did and offered me her contact info if I wanted (and they were very clear that mom wanted me to know it was OK if I didn't.) I thought about it for a sec, said "Sure", then I called mom up and said "Hey, haven't seen you in 35 years, what you been up too?"

That Small Block Olds should be enshrined in a museum.
I'd install it in a "T" bucket Ford, just so people could see the damn thing. Same with the Pontiac 400 out of my Mom's '67 Catalina.
Only GM engine more engaging to me, is the aluminum Buick/Rover V-8.
We gave that to the Brits, far too soon.
GM was the worst with advancing engine technology. Every time they were on to something grand, they killed it and started from scratch, elsewhere.
Ford leapt ahead, if not in HP, then in concept, with the 4.6 V8 in the Mustang, Crown Vic and light duty F-150.
The Modular Engine lives on in the Fox engine, and the 700+ hp Shelby.
Which none of us here can afford.

Between 16-20 weeks, an ultrasound revealed a brain deformity in my baby. It's often comorbid with other genetic disorders, so the doctor ordered an amniocentesis to check for a broad spectrum of problems.
I wasn't even considering abortion... unless Edward syndrome appeared. Most of those babies die within a year, and a few make it several years. All suffer immeasurably.
I discussed this here, and a Moron talked me out of even doing the test until after birth, letting the chips fall where they may, and not putting myself in the position I'd regret for the rest of my life.
Now, I have a baby that is looking (mostly) healthy. She's likely to need some surgery. She doesn't have any deadly congenital illness.
But, what if she had?
Purely from selfishness, I'd have liked to have held her, even if just once.

In the case of fossil fuels it was necessary for the operation of our cheap labor.
Anyone who takes a moment will understand why slavery was beginning to bother people. It's because of steam power. As the Steam Age (and then the piston engine and jet engine ages) began to spread even to mobile usage was the need for slavery declined.
It's far easier to make a moral stand about something that is no longer an economic necessity. Slaves are essentially cheap labor. Mobile, self operating, self repairable (to an extent), self reproducing etc.
Once machines began to be used as they got cheaper and more reliable the need for slaves declined.
Sad to say we didn't abolish slavery (actually the Brits started it because that's where the Age of Steam began) because of our morals but because it became a liability (for some notably mostly in the North where Steam was more widespread)
Now this has not spread to other countries as much because their slave trade is not about labor as much as it is about luxury and demonstrating wealth. Plus Islam itself is dedicated to Slavery to God thus they have no moral counter to the usage of slaves.
So the Black Community should erect a memorial to the true emancipator; the fuel driven engines of the modern age. Some would say electricity but that only put multiple "slaves" in the ordinary household and it is created with some sort of fuel to work engine.
