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?

HERE IS FIDEL AND HIS BUDDY CHE. THE TWO OF THEM ALMOST ENDED LIFE ON EARTH IN 1962.

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:

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.

THIS IS MY BIGGEST CONCERN.
EVERY TIME I GO TO THE POST OFFICE BEGINNING JANUARY 20, I AM GOING TO HAVE TO LOOK AT A PORTRAIT OF A TV GAME SHOW HOST ON THE WALL.

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.

SCARECROW VS. RUSH LIMBAUGH

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.

TOM HAYDEN

Tom Hayden, one of the most effective young Anti-Vietnam War protesters has died. Of course, in the new "wave your flag without questioning America," you are supposed to be "I'm glad that damn hippie is dead." Because of Tom Hayden's efforts, 61% of the American public eventually demanded that the idiot policy makers in Washington D.C., who always made sure that their own children got deferments, put an end to America's quagmire in Vietnam. Have you looked at which country is making most of your clothing these days? Vietnam. 60,000 Americans died for your cheap Walmart shirts. And your refusal to hold LBJ and Nixon responsible for the deaths and destruction of millions.

CHEAP HALLOWEEN COSTUMES YOU CAN GET IN SINGAPORE

ONE OF THE VERY TOP YAHOO! STORIES TODAY IS: CHEAP HALLOWEEN COSTUMES YOU CAN GET IN SINGAPORE. YAHOO! FAILED TO PROVIDE AN ACCOMPANYING ARTICLE ON "MOST INEXPENSIVE FLIGHTS TO SINGAPORE" SO THAT AMERICANS CAN TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS INCREDIBLE OFFER. DOES YAHOO! NOT HAVE EDITORS THAT WOULD QUESTION PUTTING UP A STORY LIKE THIS IN THE FIRST PLACE?

DONALD TRUMP LOOKS LIKE A PORCUPINE THAT GOT ITSELF INTO A BOWL OF CHEETOS

OINK! OINK! DONALD TRUMPIG.

OINK! OINK! DONALD TRUMPIG. AFTER LISTENING TO THE 2 ADDITIONAL WOMEN WHO CAME OUT TODAY TO TALK ABOUT THEIR EXPERIENCES WITH DONALD TRUMP (WHICH HE SAYS THEY ARE COMPLETELY MAKING UP) I HAVE COME TO THE FOLLOWING CONCLUSIONS: THE "DETAILS" THAT COME FROM THE WOMEN ARE EXTRAORDINARY. AND IF THEY JUST MADE IT UP TODAY, THEY SURE HAVE PHENOMENAL ABILITIES WHEN GOING OVER IT AGAIN AND AGAIN. THE WOMEN ARE NOT MAKING ANY MONEY FROM THIS. LET'S HAVE LIE DETECTOR TESTS. THE WOMEN WOULD DO IT. HOW ABOUT YOU DONALD?

The greatest poet of the 20th century turned 75 today.

The greatest poet of the 20th century turned 75 today. But most people know him only as a singer/songwriter. Yet, if you removed his brilliant music, you would still find some of the deepest thought provoking words about humanity. Paul Simon's extraordinary ability to touch people: "The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls and tenements halls" "I touch no one and no one touches me. I am a rock, I am an island." “We note our place with bookmarkers that measure what we've lost.” "Preserve your memories they're all that's left you” "still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest"

THIS DEBATE MOMENT TONIGHT

THIS DEBATE MOMENT TONIGHT--LOOKED LIKE WHEN ALFRED HITCHCOCK MAKES A CAMEO APPEARANCE IN HIS MOVIES.

How did the loyal Republican radio sycophants deal with the Donald Trump women-abuse tapes?

How did the loyal Republican radio sycophants deal with the Donald Trump women-abuse tapes and the Sunday night debate on Monday?


Rush Limbaugh decided to attack Democrats.
“This is what always happens and has nothing to do with –and determines the outcomes of elections—the Democrats get away with hypocrisy”


“They are going to lie. They are going to destroy anyone on the Republican ballot.”


Rush may have been on Oxycontin and hallucinating a different debate.
“The purpose of last night was to destroy Trump forever.”
“His campaign was supposed to be over. That's what today was supposed to be. And it isn't.”
“Trump triumphed last night! It was a huge win!”


Dennis Prager decided to use generalizations.
“We must stop judging people on private conversations.”


Sean Hannity decided to attack the Clintons instead.
“Abuse women. Smear women. Slander women. You can't ignore the actions of the Clintons which is much worse than saying 'she's got blah blah blah.' ”

ONLY ONE THING COULD TOP DONALD'S LOCKER ROOM TALK SEX TAPE

There could only be one more thing that could possibly top the release today of Donald Trump's locker room talk sex tape. I urge the Republican party to immediately release Sarah Palin from her banishment to the Phantom Zone and allow her to make some kind of statement showing women that Donald is really in their corner.

IT'S THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

IT'S THE GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH!

COME ONE! COME ALL!

TWO CLOWNS HAVE BEEN SIGHTED TRYING
TO BREAK INTO THE WHITE HOUSE JUST
WEEKS BEFORE THE U.S. PRESIDENTIAL
ELECTION.

ARMED WITH SELTZER BOTTLES, CREAM PIES
AND A TINY CAR THAT GIVES OFF THE ILLUSION
THAT THERE IS ROOM FOR EVERYBODY,
THE EVIL SMILING ILLEGALS ARE TRYING TO TAKE
OVER THE LEGENDARY 3-RING AMERICAN RESIDENCE WHICH HAS
BEEN IN TURMOIL SINCE 1964.

WELLS FARGO -- REALLY...IT'S JUST A LITTLE INCONVENIENCE

FROM THE WELLS FARGO WEBSITE:

“If you want to find out how strong a company’s ethics are, don’t listen to what its people say. Watch what they do.”

“Everything we do is built on trust. It doesn’t happen with one transaction, in one day on the job or in one quarter. It’s earned relationship by relationship. ”

"We have a responsibility to always act with honesty and integrity."

"We believe in free and open competition. We gain our competitive advantage through superior performance rather than through unethical or illegal business practices."

And after being fined $185 million for fraud and illegal practices the other day, the CEO of Wells Fargo continues to act like the opening of up to 2 million fraudulent customer bank accounts and credit cards is just the work of some renegade employees.

Testifying before the U.S. Congress, CEO John Stumpf blames the company-wide behavior on just a small percentage of employees trying to enrich themselves through additional sales of products. Yet, dozens of employees who tried to blow the whistle on the unethical antics through in-house disclosures, found themselves very quickly without jobs.

Apparently, the CEO didn't know about anything going on in his own company and when most likely is forced out, will take home a consolation prize of up to $200 million for a job well done.

Like all previous corporate scandals in America, TV commercials of children running slow motion through cornfields under the Wells Fargo logo, will soon impact the public's very short memory. When the public's attention turns to Brad and Angelina appearing on "Dancing With The Stars," all will be fine again.

This is a still from the 1966 Shea Stadium BEATLES concert.

This is a still from the 1966 Shea Stadium BEATLES concert. The CBS reporter is interviewing average fans. Look at the fan on the left. Recognize her? It is Meryl Streep. She has confirmed this.

I CALLED IT NINE YEARS BEFORE ANYBODY ELSE

THE CRIMINALS AT FOX NEWS HAVE SETTLED WITH GRETCHEN CARLSON FOR $20 MILLION OVER THE BEHAVIOR OF PERVERTED CHIEF PIG ROGER AILES.

1. THE OTHER DAY I STATED PUBLICLY TO WATCH FOR A QUICK SETTLEMENT.

 ABC: "WATCH FOR A LONG COURT BATTLE."

2. EVERYBODY HAS JUMPED ON THE BANDWAGON CALLING AILES A PERVERTED PIG IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS.

HOWEVER, IT SEEMS ONE PERSON CALLED IT NINE YEARS AGO. HERE IS MY POSTING FROM NINE YEARS AGO--BEFORE ANYBODY HAD THE GUTS TO CALL IT LIKE IT IS:

TRUE STORY -- Sharing A Bit Of Gene Wilder

TRUE STORY -- Sharing A Bit Of Gene Wilder

5 years ago, Gene Wilder's assistant had been asked
to clear things out for him. He no longer needed his
cassette tapes. The assistant compiled a shopping bag
filled with store bought cassettes and those which Gene
himself recorded from LPs onto blank cassettes. The
assistant gave the bag to a close friend.

The close friend did not need tapes either and asked
me if I wanted them. I still had a cassette player/CD in
the car and still used the format myself on occasion.
I gladly took them.

For many months, I listened to and shared Gene Wilder's cassette
collection while driving. He obviously also shared these
at one time with his wife Gilda Radner as a few of them were
hand labeled "Gilda's Favorites" and so on.

What was there?

The majority were specific classical pieces which
he obviously loved.
There were some Broadway musicals from the 80's and 90's.
There was only one Beatles--the love song compilation album.
But what touched me the most was this.

My favorite musical film is "Umbrellas of Cherbourg."
The entire film is sung. There is no dialogue.
It has some of the most beautiful French music composed
by Michele Legrand.

Up until 10 years ago, a soundtrack to 
"Umbrellas of Cherbourg" (which is the whole film)
had never been released. Than it came out on CD.
This old home made cassette was clearly many decades
older.
Somehow, Gene Wilder and/or Gilda Radner had gotten
a copy of the soundtrack to the beautiful love film.
If you are familiar with it,  this is a very touching
part of Gene Wilder.

THE WINDS OF WAR

In 1983, ABC broadcast the most expensive and magnificent mini-series to date. It was called "The Winds of War." It cost $35 million to make and was seen over seven nights. There were 240 million Americans in 1983. 80 million viewers per night were watching this story of a family caught up in the middle of the events leading up to the bombing of Pearl Harbor and America's entry into World War II. It provides a clear basic understanding of the worldwide events that occurred up to and in the beginning of World War 2. I had forgot about how sensational this production was having only seen it in 1983 and then discovering it is currently available for free on YouTube. I just watched all 15 hours, couldn't wait every night to continue the next segment. Currently also available is "War and Remembrance," ABC's 1988 $150 million sequel. Watching that nightly right now. I cannot tell you how wonderful "The Winds of War" is and you should catch it while it is there.

SEAN HANNITY IS AN IDIOT

"Breitbart cites Gateway Pundit to prove Trump will win in a landslide because he has more Facebook likes"
...Sean Hannity.

Yes Sean. That is Very Scientific.
Even more credible than today's
NBC/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll showing
Hillary with an 11 point lead in Pennsylvania.
And Spongebob has more likes than both
Hillary and Donald together. He'll make a
great President.

AUGUST ELECTION ANALYSIS -- ELECTORAL COLLEGE

AUGUST ELECTION ANALYSIS -- ELECTORAL COLLEGE

Every 4 years in America we play a game called 
"Electoral College." The rules of the game are basically that only a few states will determine who becomes the next President.
This will change in 2020 when the
www.nationalpopularvote.com 
becomes law and makes every vote equal throughout the United States.

In August 2016, this is how the Electoral College Map looks. They show the importance of the states in comparison. You will notice that the colors of blue dominates. They correspond to the latest polls.

 Nothing matters but who wins the most Electoral College votes. Everything else is insignificant.
I think you can determine the most likely outcome from this map. If Arizona and Georgia turn blue in the next few weeks, it's back to game shows for Donald Trump.

 

It was Monday, August 8, 1966.


The newest Beatles album, “Revolver,” was being
released in America. I was at a 3-week summer camp, Camp Chi in Lake Delton, Wisconsin. Campers had no access to any radios, TVs, or a record player.
However, a counselor saved the day by going into the Wisconsin Dells and bringing back the album for all of us to listen to. It was overwhelming.


I'm going to talk about what it was like hearing those songs for the very first time. I will make reference to the American version of “Revolver,” which is minus the songs “And Your Bird Can Sing,” “Dr. Robert” and “I'm Only Sleeping” which us lucky Americans got to hear two months earlier on an “let's make an extra Beatles album for those Beatles-obsessed Americans” put out by Capitol only in the U.S.


Side 1
“Taxman” – Whoa! The Beatles are getting political for the very first time. They're complaining about the high taxes they have to pay. And they even are attacking British prime ministers.


“Eleanor Rigby” – This is some kind of extraordinary poetic musical masterpiece using only an orchestra. And it's got a sad story and a very sad feeling.


“Love You To” – Uhhh, can you put the needle ahead to the next track?


“Here, There and Everywhere” – This is to date the most beautiful song the Beatles have ever recorded.


“Yellow Submarine” – It's a children's song! I wonder if it's going to catch on?


“She Said, She Said” – This has a really interesting sound to it.


Side 2
“Good Day Sunshine” – This song really make you happy! It sounds like it should be in a musical.


“For No One” – That is a really sad love story.


“I Want to Tell You” – There are some really brash chords in there.


“Got to Get You Into My Life” – Wow! The horns are fantastic.

“Tomorrow Never Knows” – What Was That???
Can you play that again? (there was no slang word “psychedelic” yet in America)


I listen to “Revolver” no less than 25 times a year. I have heard it a minimum of 1,250 times.
In Mono. In Stereo. (there are mix differences in some of the songs). The U.S. Version. The British Version. On LP. On 8-Track. On Cassette. On CD. On MP3. On Remastered CD.


When I slow danced later that week to “Here, There and Everywhere” and I saw the tears in her eyes, and in the eyes of every girl slow dancing in the room. And I saw the other 13-year old males overcome with emotion that they were not supposed to be showing.


The Beatles. The soundtrack of our lives.
