DONALD TRUMP WANTS TO REMOVE CITIZENSHIP FROM OR JAIL AMERICANS WHO BURN THE U.S. FLAG. WHAT ABOUT PEOPLE WHO WEAR THE FLAG IN A SUSPICIOUSLY SATIRICAL MANNER?
GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE JILL STEIN HAS RAISED 3.5 MILLION FOR A WISCONSIN BALLOT RECOUNT
GREEN PARTY CANDIDATE JILL STEIN HAS RAISED 3.5 MILLION FOR A WISCONSIN BALLOT RECOUNT WHICH WILL NOT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. AND HAS RAISED ANOTHER 3.5 M FOR TWO OTHER STATE RECOUNTS. THE GREEN PARTY IS THE BIGGEST POLITICAL PARTY ADVOCATE FOR TAKING CARE OF HOMELESS PEOPLE. WITH WINTER HERE, WOULDN'T THAT MONEY BETTER GO TO HELPING THESE PEOPLE ON WISCONSIN'S STREETS WITH FOOD, CLOTHING, BLANKETS, MEDICAL AND SHELTER?
When George W. Bush became President...
When George W. Bush became President, it took me about 4 months before I really got tired of him and couldn't stand seeing him, listening to him or even seeing a picture of him. In an amazing new record, Donald Trump has accomplished the same effect for me--2 months even before he becomes President.
MEASURING INTEREST IN MUSIC TO COLLEGE AGE STUDENTS
IN RECENT YEARS, BEFORE MY COLLEGE "MEDIA & SOCIETY" CLASS WOULD BEGIN, AND JUST AFTER A BREAK AND BEFORE CLASS STARTED AGAIN--I WOULD PLAY MUSIC VIDEOS ON A LARGE SCREEN WITH A PRIMO SOUND SYSTEM. THE AVERAGE AGES WERE 18-24. I WOULD NOTE THE INTEREST LEVEL REACTION TO VARIOUS PERFORMERS ON A SCALE OF 1-10. (10 THE HIGHEST. 1 THE LOWEST)
THESE RESULTS WERE CONSISTENT OVER A FEW YEARS:
THESE RESULTS WERE CONSISTENT OVER A FEW YEARS:
10- MICHAEL JACKSON. (THEY WOULD STOP TALKING TO NEIGHBORS, GET OFF PHONES, DROP WHATEVER THEY WERE DOING AND JUST BECOME MESMERIZED AND FIXATED TO THE SCREEN. IT WAS A BIT SCARY.)
9- JIMI HENDRIX
8- THE DOORS
7- ROLLING STONES; TEMPTATIONS; FOUR TOPS
6- ROY ORBISON; THE ZOMBIES; WOODSTOCK VARIOUS
5- THE BEATLES; RICK NELSON; MAMAS AND PAPAS
4- THE BEACH BOYS; BOB DYLAN
3- THE MONKEES
2- ELVIS
1- SIMON AND GARFUNKEL (THAT SURPRISED ME. THEY JUST DIDN'T GET IT)
0- ABBA. (ZERO INTEREST.)

A QUICK LESSON ON WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNDERMINED BERNIE SANDERS
A QUICK LESSON ON WHY THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY UNDERMINED BERNIE SANDERS AND WOULD NOT RUN HIM AS THEIR CANDIDATE. IN AMERICA, YOU MUST RUN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES THAT ARE AT LEAST JUST A BIT RIGHT OF CENTER. BERNIE SANDERS WAS LEFT OF LEFT OF LEFT. IN 1972, THE DEMOCRATS THOUGHT THEY COULD WIN AGAINST REPUBLICAN RICHARD NIXON WITH A CANDIDATE THAT WAS LEFT OF LEFT OF LEFT. HIS NAME WAS SENATOR GEORGE McGOVERN. TAKE A LOOK AT THE ELECTORAL VOTE FOR 1972. GEORGE DID NOT EVEN WIN THE STATE IN WHICH HE WAS THE SENATOR. BERNIE SAYS THAT HE MIGHT RUN AGAIN IN 2020. THIS WOULD NOT BE A SMART IDEA.
NOW THAT ALL THE RESULTS ARE IN
NOW THAT ALL THE RESULTS ARE IN--ALLOW ME TO SHOW YOU HOW 2 STATES WOULD HAVE CHANGED THE ELECTION RESULTS. MAP #1 SHOWS YOU THE FINAL ELECTORAL PICTURE WITH A DONALD TRUMP WIN. MAP #2 SHOWS WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD FLORIDA AND OHIO GONE BLUE--A HILLARY WIN. THOSE STATES HAVE BEEN BLUE FOR THE LAST TWO PREZ ELECTIONS. ASK THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY WHY WITH THE MILLIONS THEY PAY STRATEGISTS, ANALYSTS, CONSULTANTS AND ADVISERS--THEY DID NOT FOCUS ON FLORIDA AND OHIO.
DEAR YOUNG FOLKS, LET THIS ALL BE A LESSON FOR YOU.
DEAR YOUNG FOLKS,
LET THIS ALL BE A LESSON FOR YOU.
YOU WILL BE DENIED A JOB IN AMERICA BECAUSE:
THE EMPLOYER FOUND A PICTURE OF YOU PARTYING;
YOU GOT IN TROUBLE FOR SMOKING MARIJUANA;
YOU HAD A LOW GPA;
YOU OWE MONEY ON STUDENT LOANS;
YOU HAVE A LOW CREDIT SCORE;
YOU HAD DRIVING TICKETS;
YOU HAD SOME KIND OF LEGAL SYSTEM INFRACTION;
YOU NEVER HAD A JOB BEFORE;
YOU WERE AT A JOB FOR TOO SHORT OF TIME;
YOUR DEGREE ISN'T FROM AN IVY LEAGUE UNIVERSITY
HOWEVER--YOU COULD HAVE:
COMMITTED ADULTERY A NUMBER OF TIMES;
ASSAULTED A NUMBER OF WOMEN;
SAID DOCUMENTED SEXIST THINGS ABOUT WOMEN;
SAID DOCUMENTED RACIST THINGS;
SAID DOCUMENTED BIGOTED THINGS;
SAID DOCUMENTED INSULTS ABOUT PEOPLE'S RELIGIONS;
CHEAT PEOPLE OUT OF MONEY FOR WORK THEY DID FOR YOU;
INSULT VETERAN'S PARENTS;
INSULT PEOPLE'S RELIGIONS;
INSULT HEROIC VETERANS;
INSULT DOZENS OF OTHERS;
DECLARED BANKRUPTCY NUMEROUS TIMES;
CREATED A PHONY SCHOOL THAT TOOK PEOPLE'S CASH;
CURRENTLY HAVE 75 LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST YOU;
BRAG HOW YOU FOUND LOOPHOLES NOT TO PAY TAXES;
HAVE MILLIONS IN UNPAID LOANS;
AND YOU CAN BECOME THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES!
THIS IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN.

45 years of progress has just been turned back.
In 1972, San Diego State University offered a "Women's Rights History" class. I was the only male in the entire school that signed up for the class. Outside of school, when I made statements in public such as "Women should have the right to hold any job that a man has," I had men look at me like I had just committed some kind of unspeakable violation--and even women were shocked by the boldness of such declarations. Over the last year, almost 45 years later, I saw for the first time, a heightened awareness finally permeate our society's thinking regarding the equal treatment of women. Last night America voted for a man who was a serial adulterer and lived the "Playboy" lifestyle--refusing to ever acknowledge any of this. 45 years of progress has just been turned back.
CUBS WIN WORLD SERIES!
CUBS WIN WORLD SERIES! Los Angeles based Cubs fans (all from Chicago) got together to watch Game 7 of the World Series at "Taste Of Chicago" Pizzeria in Burbank. There was complete hysteria throughout the exciting game and when they won--it was pandemonium. Pictures: Eliot when they won; Eliot with actor Joe Mantegna
ELECTORAL COLLEGE ANALYSIS 1 WEEK BEFORE ELECTION
ELECTORAL COLLEGE ANALYSIS 1 WEEK BEFORE ELECTION. The events of the last few days have tightened the race considerably. And this is the best analogy. Hillary is the CLEVELAND INDIANS who need only one game to win the series. Donald is the CHICAGO CUBS who need to win one game to even up the series and another one to win the series. Do not pay attention to national polls at this time. It basically is coming down to one state--FLORIDA. With its 29 Electoral College votes--if it turns BLUE--Hillary automatically wins. If it turns RED--Donald still needs more states to turn red to stay in
NIXON
ABC News had this picture on the front page today. And I jumped out of my seat. Its got to be 8 years since I've seen a picture of this guy featured prominently anywhere (since the movie Frost/Nixon). And you know what--I HATE THIS CROOK AS MUCH TODAY AS I DID IN 1969-1974. His Vietnam policies which took and destroyed the lives of Americans and others by the millions. His abuse of power against anybody who disagreed with him. His hatred of young people. His obstruction of justice. His constant lying to the American public. Where was John Hinckley when he was really needed? ROAST IN PEACE you SOB.
