I really enjoyed the Al originals on his Bigger & Weirder tour. Dare to Be Stupid, Everything you Know is Wrong, One More Minute.... Somehow, the @alyankovic.bsky.social songs hold up better than the talented artists he parodies!

Three justices voted against the 14th Amendment. Yes, they made other indefensible decisions announced yesterday and today as well.
The starting point for a remedy is Congressional hearings and then impeachment of those three-- Justices Clarence Thomas, Neil Gorsuch and Samuel Alito.
Vote wisely.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Six families from three states came together at a hospital in Iowa over the past two weeks in support of a man awaiting diagnosis.
Maybe, we all align politically (doubtful, but possible). Not an utterance was made, except maybe in passing by the 89 year old patient.
Proud of us.

Recently, a new DJ on KALX played a request from her friend. Half way through, she realizes the song doesn't have KALX vibes and she pulls the plug. It could have worked though. Just follow up The Trees by Rush with Stonehenge by Spinal Tap. Two wrongs= a right. It'd work I think.

Michael Lewis published a book in 2021 called Premonition. If you don't support JFK, you at least shouldn't be surprised. Of course, COVID is just theoretical, for me anyway, I can say now 8 days later.
