Well, you've read the notes, the notes had a little this'a and a little that'a with an emphasis on the latter, and now it is time for you to post until the cows come home - frankly, as the Gershwins put it, they can't be bothered now.

Bloomberg Ready to Spend $1 Billion on Presidential Run, Say Friends

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg is prepared to spend an unprecedented $1 billion of his personal fortune to seek the White House as a third-party candidate, say sources close to Bloomberg.
…
Another friend said Bloomberg has "lowered the bar” for a final decision on joining the campaign.
Bloomberg has now told close sources that he will make a third-party run if he believes he can influence the national debate and would spend up to $1 billion.
Earlier he was telling friends he would run only if he thought he could win a plurality in a three-way race and would spend $500 million – less than 10 percent of his $5.5 billion fortune.

Well, one things for sure - he couldn't be accused of being in some other special interests' pocket!

Now, who else to put on the ticket:

Some one from the Southwest for geographic balance?
A women for divesity?
An academic with Foreign Policy credentials?

A self-funded Independent ticket could be the ultimate "None Of The Above" solution.

If the major parties nominate polarizing candidates like Hillary or Romney, this kind of Independent ticket could win!

And the ticket would not be burdened with a Party Platform!

Generally I do not support the concept of third party candidates at a national level, but a true independent, on the otherhand....

I think we should all send vibes out to the little gay baby who will be born to poor Mormon parents in Utah in the next day or two (depending upon the length of processing time in Heaven.) Let's all hope that he'll manage to learn to love and be compassionate in this time around. He could turn out to be fabulous!

Dear DR Jose:

Thanks for the link to the International Association of Culinary Professionals. Their awards certainly are an alternative to the Beards.

It will take me a while to go through their archives, of course. But, looking at this year's award winners, I'm surprised that they didn't even nominate The Omnivore's Dilemma for their Literary Food Writing category. I found their winner for the category, My Life in France (Julia Child), enjoyable, but nowhere near the quality of Michael Pollan's book.

(Of their other two nominees, I've read and enjoyed The United States of Arugula, a very good modern history of the food industry, but haven't yet tried Slater's The Kitchen Diaries.)

Question for BK:

In television fall seasons past, what show did you most looking forward to that turned out to be the biggest disappointment?

Dear Dan the Man:

I don't think our esteemed BK watches much broadcast television. DVDs, yes, but not much that comes over the airwaves.

Modification: Now, if you were to expand the question to the DRs in general, I'm certain we'll get some very interesting opinions.

Well, I'm sure that BK watched broadcast years back. My question did say seasons past.

But, yes, indeedy--I would like to open this up to all HHW'ers.

Good morning, all! I'm wandering rather aimlessly about the apartment this morning. I originally thought that I would go into the office but nowI believe I shall work on the editorial guidelines for a while here and then head to the NYPL for a round with the historic newspapers online. I can also check out a few things in the New Mozart Editions of Don Giovanni and Le Nozze di Figaro and photocopy the pages I need for reference.

I guess one of my biggest disappointments, TV wise, was The Debbie Reynolds Show....which wasn't very funny.

My BIGGEST disappointment of all time was LIFE WITH LUCY....ugh

Loved that theme song for The Debbie Reynolds Show ("With a little love, just a little love") which was also used so well for the Attila the Hun Show on the Monty Python series. (And the Monty Python DVD was the only place I could get even a partial copy of the Debbie Reynolds theme song!)

Good morning all.

Mom is still with me.

They offered to have her transfered back to the other Hospice House but she is in such pain that I didn't want them to move her and cause her even more.

I had them call a priest in to give her the last rites. I wasn't sure if she would want that or not but I thought it would be ok.

They are giving her heavy drugs for the pain so she is sleeping and looks peaceful--for which I am grateful.

I don't know how much longer it will be but I know that it is very close. They say she could fool us and be better but I don't think that is going to happen. I don't really think they think that either.

Thank you all for the prayers and vibes.

Last night DR Cillaliz asked:

Quote

Is there anyone here besides me who has seen Spring Awakening and not liked it?

I didn't see SA in the theatre but I have seen an ootlegbay video. But even beforehand, I developed an intense dislike for this show. I find it incredibly fake. The authors have taken a play written over a hundred years ago that is about strict teen-age sexual repression in 1880s Germany and attached modern day American adolescent angst on it. Whatever issues today's kids have with sex, repression is definitely not one of them. I don't think that lack of information has been an issue since the 60's. I think it's hilarious that the authors are trying to pass off the problems of their old Europe characters as the same of today's teens.

"trying to pass off"?--heck, what am I saying?--they have obviously succeeded! And why? Because the characters sing through very modern, catchy alt-rock idioms and are overall cute boys and girls? I'm not sure--I would have hoped that audiences would be able to see through such a scam. But I guess not...

Anyway, thus concludes my rant for the day...

I don’t know much about plots and conspiracies and such. Of course, I do know, for a fact, that Woody Harrelson’s father single-handedly shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald and then got himself sent to prison so that he could inject Jack Ruby with a new cancer-causing virus. The virus was borrowed from the CIA who at the time was trying to develop a new deadly serum that could wipe-out all the queers, druggies, and heterosexual African women throughout the world.

Still, it seems to me that if I was going to be involved in a major gasoline conspiracy intended to defraud the American people; I would begin my plan just at the start of the summer holiday season when prices were always expected to climb. Not only would it fool a lot of the population, but I would also have, to my advantage, all the usual pundits rambling on endlessly about supply and demand…increased daylight hours for driving…. vacations…. etc.

In addition, if I was really smart, I would make sure that the Eastern Seaboard was the last area to experience the increased gasoline prices; since obviously the principle seats of government and commerce are located in that area of the country and those individuals would react far more quickly were it to affect their own personal lives and pocketbooks.

Just something to ponder…
