Happy Father’s Day! — 20 Comments

  1. Grrr – Wm. Sullivan at American Thinker mentions the Hur report on Biden, claiming that “the Robert Hur investigation report dropped, in which Biden was described by the special investigator as a “sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

    No! That description was what Hur imagined the jury would think of Biden, on the way to finding him not guilty! It was not a conclusion reached by Hur, but an excuse for not prosecuting him because of likely jury nullification!

  2. “…sympathetic, well-meaning…”

    Somebody ought to have some fun with that…e.g, “Sicc ‘im Commander, go boy, git ‘im…that’s me boy! He is THE smartest dog I know….”

  3. Cicero:

    In this particular song, his voice reflects the fact that he is overcome with emotion.

    He can sing just fine.

  4. Neo, I beg your pardon. But he ain’t singing in your post!
    I do not listen to pop music, so I am behind the 8-ball. But Bluegrass, YES!

  5. Today I got a Father’s Day email from my niece.

    If you want to know why I lost weight and learned French, it was partly for her. I wanted her to know that adults can make positive changes in their lives.

    She hasn’t seen a lot of that.

  6. Good on ya, Huxley.

    Steve Goodman can sing, in his own style, but he writes kick-ass songs! A little quirky, but I’m sorry he died young.

  7. Looked Goodman up. He wrote “City of New Orleans”, inter alia. Died of leukemia at a young age.

  8. RE: With SpaceX Elon Musk really means business–

    Musk, among other prominent individuals, has said that it is imperative that human beings get off of this very vulnerable planet, and become true spacefarers, colonizing our solar system and, then, moving outward to the stars.

    To illustrate just how serious Musk is about his drive to get off of Earth, I’ve just stumbled upon a video record of the frenetic, choreographed, 24/7 activity at the SpaceX launch site, over just the last week, as they are taking the steps to prepare for the next immanent launch of their Starship .*

  9. Thanks, F!

    Maybe my favorite father tribute song was by Marc Cohn:
    _____________________________________

    The man with the plan and the pocket comb…

    Down the road in the rain and snow
    The man and his machine would go
    Oh the secrets that old car would know

    I still hear him saying

    Don’t you gimme no Buick
    Son you must take my word
    If there’s a God up in Heaven
    He’s got a silver Thunderbird

    –Marc Cohn, “Silver Thunderbird (Official Music Video)”

    _____________________________________

    That was my grandfather, whose one personal extravagance, after he made his money, was a Thunderbird. I don’t have a lot of regrets, but not knowing him better is one.

    In an interview Cohn said that it was when he first saw his father in a T-Bird, he suddenly realized his old man was cool. 🙂

    There are a lot of guys who bust their humps for their families and don’t get a lot of appreciation.

  10. “There are a lot of guys who bust their humps for their families and don’t get a lot of appreciation.”
    huxley

    I’m not one of them. My wife and daughter made me feel pretty special today. Nothing big, but the emotions and feelings run deep.

    Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers here.

  11. AesopFan:

    I take the point that candidate AI Steve would strictly follow the dictates of his constituents — democracy! — however I was taken aback by Steve’s consequent priorities:

    Here are the issues AI Steve’s constituents are most concerned with:
    ____________________________________________

    Voters’ top issues so far, according to those calls, were (in order of importance):

    * Concerns about the safety of Palestinians
    * trash bins
    * bicycle lanes
    * immigration
    * and abortion

    ____________________________________________

    So that’s what happens for an AI pol in a district of vocal progressives.
