Solid Gold Open Thread

Here's the debut episode of Solid Gold from 1980 featuring the Solid Gold dancers and plenty of Solid Gold cameltoe.

I provided cameltoe for the menfolk so it's only fair I give something to the ladies.

So, ladies, here's legendary heartthrob Liberace singing "Feelin' Groovy."

No just kidding, here is what all ladies love, sexy sexy men playing the sexy sport of golf.

In 2016 Trump ran on fixing the economy. Obama said that the economy was as good as it could be and that do better would require "a magic wand"

The economy boomed under Trump until COVID. And we've been in a recession since shortly after Biden was installed.

Sweety ... blacks were getting five extra promotion points to the E-5 board long before Obama. Affirmative Action instituted quotas long before Obama.

The seeds were sown long before Obama. We haven't been "color-blind" in my entire life. I'm meticulously "color-blind". And, as such, racist. It's been this way for at least five decades.

And ..... Chief Justice and Preposterous Buffoon Roberts issued his year-end report (didn't know these over-glorified clerks graced us with such gifts) and in it inter alia he bemoans "disinformation" and other outrages against the dignity and evident quality of the judiciary. Gawd I hope there are medically-compelled but non-painful retirements on SCOTUS (obviously amongst the moonbat element, and Roberts) so that there's a slim chance at least that court can be partially fixed.

It's entirely talent-based. No one cared about race, they were past that. It was best of the best, all the time.

They had a worn-out school, but produced geniuses through grit and hard work. None of the clean, plastic, dirt-free unlived in ideal campus looks of today.

Practice, practice, practice, and no one cares about your feelings. The fim is such a total red pill. Again the only sour note is hiding the fact that the gay guy is going to get used like a diner's ash tray.

I watched an episode of a 50s or early 60s police TV show Naked City, a few days ago. At the end the bank robber trades shots with police in the bank. Bank robber is wounded and staggers against the row of teller's stations. Police rush towards him firing like crazy. Robber falls to the floor then his gun or something emits several small, ignited flare-like objects. The cop-actors start dancing around to avoid them; one tries to stomp on one to put it out but misses. The pyro items quickly go out and action as-scripted resumes. The cop-actors were real pros. This all occurs in about two seconds. Hilarious. I suppose a re-shoot (pun intended here) was going to be more than the remaining budget.

FWIW, there was a factual error on page 2 regarding the history of US courts. The Articles of Confed government did actually have specialized federal courts for admiralty, etc. Roberts or Robert's clerks (who probably drafted the report) were ignorant of this fact apparently. A small caveat but Roberts and most other justices other than Alito or Clarence Thomas have made similar errors in cases where it mattered.

=====
Adjuncts are typically paid and treated like disposable garbage by administrators. Universities would actually be improved if there were adjunct administrators instead of professors teaching your kids.

Fun factoid, approximately during the GWB years and since, over 50 percent of payroll at universities and colleges is spent on administrators and their staffs, not for instruction.

208 Eva Cassidy, what a voice! One of those odd stories where she got popular after she had died. She was always a thing in the mid-Atlantic region, DC mostly. I moved here in Dec '97 and they were still talking about her. She had died mid '96 sometime. One of her covers wound up on a TV show in the UK a few years later and they were scrambling around to find out who this lovely voice is and where she is. Sadly she had passed away from cancer in 96. A few years later the same scenario happened again, but in America. Probably missed some details here but going from memory. Little foggy due to insomnia.
