My favorite Vera Lynn song: We’ll Meet Again, especially the version sung at the end of Doctor Strangelove while the bombs are falling.

Is that really 22 miles? Or is it something to do with the optics of the camera that makes it look so much closer?

while we prattle about child singers…
the old child distraction of pyongyang, and soviets…

the left is redefining voting in the US

With little fanfare and nearly no national media attention, the National Popular Vote effort is now 61 percent of the way toward its goal of legally bypassing the Electoral College established in the U.S. Constitution.

Last month, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed the National Popular Vote, or NPV, bill, making his state the 11th jurisdiction to enact the plan. With the passage of the bill, the interstate compact now has 61 percent of the 270 electoral votes needed to put it into effect.

Western cuteness is in its early days.

The West has spent too much time on socialist propaganda.

OK, I might as well mention it. Ever since I switched to the Epic browser, I can’t see embedded videos here. They’re just blank white spaces. I also have the same problem at PJM, but in that case I see black rectangles with play arrows that don’t work.

Other sites such as Ace of Spades and YouTube work fine.

It may be a plugin problem on my end, but I have no idea what to do about it. Epic also blocks cookies and tracking software, so that might also have something to do with it.

Apart from the video problems on certain sites, I really like Epic.

Pink Floyd Vera
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MummZBgO3Ek

“Vera” is a song by Pink Floyd which appears on their 1979 album, The Wall.
The opening dialogue (“Where the hell are you, Simon?”) and the sound effects are from the 1969 film The Battle of Britain.

and a correction

No, Uncle Sam doesn’t really want YOU: Military now turns down 80% of applicants

Vera Lynn is still with us -- she turned 97 on March 20 this year. And she herself made her stage debut at the age of seven. Wonder what she sang for it?

The kid does a very heartfelt rendition of The White Cliffs of Dover. We’ll Meet Again is another poignant Vera Lynn song of the era: http://tinyurl.com/kbx8be2
