14 Someone let Lamont loose on the sidebar:
+++
The song he incorrectly thought was suddenly a hit was "I Know What Boys Like." Despite that being kind of iconic, it never went anywhere sales-wise. It was the "toss-off" nothing of a song "Christmas Wrapping" that became their big (surprise) hit.
+++

The only song that The Waitresses ever charted (in the USA) was "I Know What Boys Like". It says so at Wikipedia, so it has to be true.

They did manage to chart "Christmas Wrapping" in the UK, but come on. The UK doesn't count.

This morning saw a large coyote running across a snow covered field towards some cows in another field eating corn stalk leftovers.

The coyote stopped when a large dog next to the cows got between the coyote and the cows. I was too far away to hear any bark.

But the stop was very sudden.

31 Cliff Clavin's mom passes away.

Character actress Frances Sternhagen, who won two Tony Awards and appeared in "Cheers" and other TV shows, dies at 93.

Good bio here:

||Frances Sternhagen, the legendary Broadway actress who won two Tony Awards, was nominated for another five and achieved lasting and widespread recognition for her comedically stern portrayal of Esther Clavin, the demanding mother of insufferable postman Cliff Clavin on Cheers, died Nov. 27 of natural causes. She was 93.||

Yes Ma'am I do. It is a Jabba the Hutt origin story, except Jabba is played by an islamic woman. The Hutt people live on Tattooine, but the Jedis take over the planet and claim it as their ancestral home. The Hutts are all forced into Gaba City, and the Jedis build a wall around them. After years of living in their open air prison, the Hutts, lead by Jabba broke through the wall in an act of resistance. The Jedis then drove the Hutts back into the city. The Empire caught wind of the Jedi atrocities, they began to round up the jedis and send them to a prison planet. Then, to honor the Hutts, the entire galaxy converted to the Hutt religion, except the Jedis, who were forbidden.

Wow wow wow. We have a winner!

||Frasier finds out some juicy information about Rebecca from her college days, specifically that she was the party girl on campus and that her nickname was Backseat Becky. Although embarrassed by the information albeit one where how the nickname arose not divulged, Rebecca ultimately uses the nickname to her advantage. Meanwhile, Cliff and Ma Clavin, who is just like Cliff in the "know-it-all" department, are on a roller-coaster of emotions regarding the possible selling of their house to commercial developers. Cliff wants to sell in the name of progress, whereas Ma Clavin wants to preserve the memories of their lives in that house and not sell. Cliff and his Ma have to come to a consensus, but someone else or something else may beat them to the punch.||

Kevin Richardson, who runs an animal sanctuary in South Africa, has mostly lions, but also quite a few hyaenas in his care. He's able to go into their enclosures, interacts with them, says they're very smart, but even the ones that like you will take a nip out of your skull every now and then.

Life at Sea Cruises says it had to cancel its three-year inaugural cruise because it doesn’t have a ship.

The voyage was originally due to depart from Istanbul on Nov. 1. After being postponed twice – and relocated to Amsterdam – the cruise is officially off.

Passengers are now out hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Some say they have nowhere to go, having sold or rented their homes in anticipation of the round-the-world voyage.

Life at Sea Cruises say it is working to refund passengers, but that will take a few months

More cat chaos averted:

Hexie's been lounging on the cat perch near the window in my bedroom. It's surrounded by a blanket I use for a curtain. Penny was lounging on the bed. When Hexie jumped out off the cat perch in front of Penny, it freaked Penny out. (Again, my older cats are not too keen on the newer/younger cats getting too close.)

Ever seen video of wild dogs mixing it up with hyaenas? The dogs hold their own, it's amazing, and when they swarm one or more hyaenas, nipping at their backsides, it's almost funny watching the hyaenas run while trying to tuck in their entire arse.

But it's not funny, because those dogs are taking out chunks of flesh. And when the numbers change, it's the hyaenas taking out the dogs, sometimes permanently.

Near as I can tell a big overarching policy of the time, was to avoid pushing Soviet Union and Communist China together, insofar as they hate each other. In most respects this worked out pretty well.

Until Clinton, Obama, and now the Biden fucksticks.

While Russia was never going to be an ally there were several areas of common ground that were of value, incalcuble.

282 Kissinger.

During RealPolitik ? Maybe you really have to do the wrong thing, just to keep the other really really wrong thing from coming down on your head, in the hope that you can do the right thing when you have the luxury of doing so.

The thing about Kissinger Politik was that, once the Soviet Union fell, Kissinger Politik never stopped, even though we were the Lone Superpower for a while. We had the luxury of doing less than optimal things, because nobody could stop us or threaten us.

That, as it turned out, lasted about a decade. We got nothing good done in that time, and a lot of bad. All because folks, without the menace of the Soviets, still wanted to play the Kissinger game.

I don't miss the man one bit. Or those that never let his particular paradigm die.

I watched the live recording of Transmission, where Curtis seems to go into a trance... it's so freakin' mesmerizing.

And then seeing the rest of the band, who went on to become New Order, it's like a time capsule. He's dead, and the rest of them are fat and rich and barking piss at each other.

I don't know if he's still in the business - or even alive - but I think he was best when he was a columnist for the Miami Herald. His year-end summaries were amazing!

He seems to have faded - I don't think the books or TV show did too well - or maybe he made so much $$ that he went the way of the Calvin & Hobbs guy and Far Side guy.

Many, many years ago, I got my wife Dragon Naturally Speaking to help her write papers. Before using the software, you "train" it by reading some sample articles.

Well, one of the available articles was a Dave Barry column, so she picked that one. Didn't work, as she was laughing so hard there was no way the computer could figure out her speech patterns.

2d, 3d, and 4th tier order of effects work like that....

Kissinger was master of the next 5 years not so much "and then what?"

Using China as a hedge against the Soviets is what bought us the breathing space when we were almost certain to lose a conventional war to build the 80s force that would have kicked the shit out of Ivan by 86.

That is an inarguable strategic success, the problem is when you do not have "Kissinger 2.0" when Dhimmi gets involved and Reagan does not really listen to you you are left holding the bag.

Kissinger would probably have not allowed Iran to fall, and he viewed India as a hedge against Chinese dominance regionally.

There are a lot of smart plays the US could have made from 1989-1999.....luckily we made none of them.

When he was in DC, he had a number of highly regarded men and women working at State and in the IC. Most with PhDs and years of experience. They'd write position papers and he'd send them back with grades. Not a smart way to build trust among the workforce, particularly when many had impressive creds.

It might be too late in the day for such discussions, but a major part of his legacy WILL be the continued turmoil in the Middle East.

To say he never cared one whit about Israel would not be an understatement, and fomenting the lasting hatred from the surrounding nations is part of his plan as well.

331 NYT:

Henry A. Kissinger, the scholar-turned-diplomat who engineered the United States’ opening to China, negotiated its exit from Vietnam, and used cunning, ambition and intellect to remake American power relationships with the Soviet Union at the height of the Cold War, sometimes trampling on democratic values to do so, died on Wednesday, according to a statement that was released by his consulting firm. He was 100.

He died at his home in Connecticut.

The cover story was they were guarding against POW torture, but in hindsight they just wanted to fry everyone’s brain. Ten years after they dosed the largest cohort generation. “Everything is Love” “Tune In Turn On Drop Out” and “Make Love Not War” etc.
