Thank You To Glenn Beck For Posting Barbaric ISIS Video On TheBlaze (GRAPHIC)

ISIS burned a man alive. He was a Jordanian pilot who fell into the hands of ISIS after his fighter jet crashed in ISIS territory. Everyone who pays attention to the news knew that this wouldn't turn out well for him. ISIS is made up of savages. Savages who want to kill you, me, your children, your parents, your aunts & uncles, your grandchildren, your grandma & grandpa, your cousins, and your dog. ISIS has labeled all who do not think as they do as "infidels". I'm fine being an infidel. Perfectly fine with it. Because it means that I don't live in the stone age and/or practice a disgusting, radical form of a barbaric "religion" that only appears to be fit for the wretchedly insane.

ISIS has killed many. Brutally. They usually make a big show about it when they do. Does that mean we're not supposed to know about it? Because they made a video, which some people call "propaganda", we're not supposed to watch it and inform ourselves? They produce high-quality videos about their sad little story - actually, I envy them for their video-editing software - that always results in the barbaric death of some poor guy that they've been holding hostage.

Some people think that it's a bad idea to share the videos that ISIS produces because they think it helps to spread their ideology. That's a load of crap! It's an excuse used by those (like our president) who don't want to call someone a bad name...a bad name like "terrorist". I think that the ISIS videos should be easily accessible for everyone to see (and, they are available online if you spend some time looking for them). Actually, I think the ISIS videos should be required viewing for all Americans. I don't like the idea of having an even more ignorant population that we already do. INFORMATION is essential to safety. Willful ignorance doesn't help anyone, nor will it help keep you or your family alive.

I've always sought out the videos because I NEED to see them. Not because I WANT to see them. (And every time I have to go LOOKING for one of the videos it pisses me off. I shouldn't have to seek them out. They should be easily accessible!) I really can't stand watching them. They always make me feel sick to my stomach and disgusted with humanity.

This is reality. 

Yet, while I force myself to stay educated about man's inhumanity to man, others can't even stand to listen to a description of the videos? Yesterday on FOX News Shepard Smith described the latest ISIS video - a 24-minute video that results in the Jordanian pilot being burned alive in a cage - which is shown in the video. He burned alive for 55-seconds. Shep warned viewers that he was going to be describing the video for the "next 5 or 6 minutes" and that if they didn't want to hear it to mute the TV or "walk away" from the TV. Are you kidding me? There are Americans that can't handle a description of a brutal video? These are the people that need to see what the brutal savages on the other side of the planet want to do to them...because these savages know how to board planes and travel.

ISIS crucifies, beheads, rapes, amputates, burns people alive, throws people off the roofs of buildings, stones people to death, and does God knows what else to them. All because they don't live their lives like the barbarians that comprise ISIS. You don't live like the savages in ISIS. Therefore, ISIS will kill you too, as soon as they get the opportunity. I don't know why someone would willfully choose to remain ignorant about this.

Thank you to Glenn Beck for posting the video in it's entirety on TheBlaze. I hope it becomes a routine practice. Everyone needs to see these videos. You won't understand one word of many of them. But, you need to watch them. Go to this link to view this video for yourself: Glenn Beck: The World Needs to See the Depravity of the Islamic State (GRAPHIC)

Bad Credit + GPS Tracking = "Vicious Predator" Arrested

Whether or not you like GPS tracking by car dealerships or banks, this time it turned out well...

From NBC New York:

Less than 72 hours after being violently snatched off a Philadelphia street as she walked home from visiting her godson, Carlesha Freeland-Gaither has been rescued from the "vicious predator" police say kidnapped her.

Now as she recovers from the attack that was caught on video, the focus moves onto her alleged abductor who authorities have linked to a similar crime against a teenage girl.

"I’m taking my baby home. Thank you," Keisha Gaither, the woman's overjoyed mother, told the public at a news conference Wednesday night. Her family erupted into applause as the woman spoke.

The 22-year-old was rescued from the car of her alleged kidnapper, 37-year-old Delvin Barnes, in a Jessup, Maryland parking lot Wednesday afternoon, officials said. She suffered some injuries and was taken to a nearby hospital in Columbia, Maryland for treatment, police said. She was listed in good condition and expected to recover. The family drove to the hospital Wednesday night. Early Thursday, shortly after 1 a.m., Carlesha and her family left the hospital.

“It’s very special for all of us. You hope, you hope, you hope, but you don't really know until you're actually able to get her, and make sure she's OK. So it's very important that this has a happy ending," Philadelphia Police Commissioner Charles Ramsey said.

Agents moved in quickly after receiving a tip from the ATF Office in Richmond, Virginia that Barnes may be the suspect after seeing his picture in news reports, Philadelphia detectives said.

They began tracking his gray Ford Taurus through a GPS device placed inside the vehicle by the car dealership where it was purchased, detectives said. The GPS was installed because Barnes had poor credit, officials said.

Agents honed in on his location, in a shopping center parking lot, and moved in to strike.

"He was more surprised than anything," ATF agent Tim Jones said recounting the arrest.

Barnes and the victim were in the backseat of the car when agents arrived, but he quickly jumped into the driver's seat to try and flee, Jones said. Agents blocked his way and took him into custody.

I Thought We Didn't Have Soldiers On The Ground In Iraq...?

This blog post began with one tweet from a Twitter account that belongs to ISIS...or so I heard here: "ISIS Posts Photos of Dead Female Peshmerga Soldiers – Obama Attends Fundraiser".

Here is an embedded tweet that belongs to the ISIS account to which I am referencing:

anybody who gives a cup of water to soldiers in US led coalition against Muslims in Iraq & Sham is kafir (non-muslim) @Abu_Baraa1

— State of Islam (@Dawla_account) October 10, 2014

Here is a screen shot of the above tweet in case it disappears from Twitter (Ha!):

If the USA doesn't have soldiers in Iraq, how would it be possible for any muslim over there (er..."in Iraq & Sham") to give them a cup of water?

Message to "ISIS"...er, "ISIL"...er, "IS"...(btw, no one here in the USA knows 1/3 of your names for yourselves...you're cool...continue as you are):
We're only bombing you from aeroplanes. Calm yer asses.
Bammy ain't comin' fer ya. He ain't doin' it now and he ain't doin' it ever.

Word to the wise: Do all yer sh*t before another Reagan is elected.

At that time, you will be ended. But, with you bein' so smart and all, you already know that. You have another 832 days to continue your genocide on the civilized, non-barbarian, non-stone age world, non-bloody-headed-beheading world. God, you losers are sloppy. I've watched and/or recorded 100's of "beheading videos" (for the record) and, man, you dips just have no clue how to go about it. May I suggest that you NOT shave the hair on the heads of those whom you choose to separate from their bodies? Just a thought. Damn, I hope it pisses you off that some dumb dyke from the midwest could chop-off a head quicker and more efficiently than you, you worthless excuse for executioners. (May allah rot in pig poo....akbar...or something like that.)

Hey, my lovers, don't go catchin' the Ebola in the meantime, eh...it'd be much better if you had a 2-year cancer that slowly eats away at your insides...with you getting sicker and sicker and weaker and weaker with every "treatment".

If the USA doesn't elect another Reagan in 2016, whom you KNOW will END you, you will deserve to take over the world.

The bitch that is "political correctness" shall die along with you...if that whore doesn't kill the USA first.
(Although, this whore is evil, she's not quite as devastatingly evil and ruthlessly bloodthirsty as you. I wish a quick death for this bitch. May she rot in hell, right underneath a steaming pool of your wretched, disemboweled carcasses.)

.

Can I claim "poetic license" and call all of the above a "haiku"?

Aw, poo. I suppose not. Meh...

I sleep with a gun.

If MLB Speeds Up Game Play Does That Mean There Will Be Less "Ball Play"?

This is my blog...I keep trying to remind myself that I CAN make ANY kind of posts to it that I'd like. They don't ALL have to relate to "news". This morning, that's exactly what I'm doing.

So, The Blaze posted this story last night: "Major League Baseball Announced It Will Begin Testing These Six New Rules — and Some Fans Aren’t Too Happy".

I was going to post a comment on The Blaze. Instead, I'm posting it here. About as many people will interact with what I have to say here as they are allowed to do on The Blaze. In other words: No one will interact with me. (If The Blaze would put DISQUS comments on their site then their commenters could interact. But they don't, so we can't. Although, given the low-brow mentality of many of the commenters there, I'm probably happiest as it is now - with NO interaction with commenters on The Blaze.)

Oh yeah...back to baseball...

I'd love to be interested in watching baseball again. It would help if the games weren't 3-4 hours long and "DVR unfriendly". I can watch an entire 3 1/2-4 hr football game in 40 minutes on my DVR (there are REGULARLY 20-30 seconds in between each and every 4-6 second play). I regularly record and watch at least 12 football games each weekend - 6 college games on Saturday and 6 NFL games on Sunday - sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on scheduling.

I love baseball...but, damn, I haven't even bothered to record a regular season game for about 5 years now. I got sick of seeing all of all the spitting and "scratching" in between plays. SPEEDING UP THE GAME OF BASEBALL SOUNDS GREAT TO ME! More game play = less spitting and "ball play" by the players. On camera, that is. They'll still do it, I just won't have to see it in between the plays on the field. (I dare you to write this and avoid all the double entendres.)

If they'd put some sort of uniform time limit on the action between plays during MLB games, I wouldn't be so adverse to watching all the spitting and "ball play"...er...I mean "game play". I could eliminate it by jumping ahead on my DVR. As it is now, I could go to a local construction site and watch classier men behaving properly in public.

As a female, I MUST ASK any male readers:

What the HELL is going on down there that causes baseball players to CONSTANTLY have to "lift up" and/or "readjust" their genitals? My goodness...NFL players don't do that (constantly, like MLB players do). UFC fighters don't do that (unless they get cracked in the nuts - because we all know that rattling around an "injured" part of your body ALWAYS makes it feel better...whatever).

What the hell is it about standing on a field for 3-4 hours that causes a guy to feel the need to "address" the position of his balls every time he is on camera? I'm being totally serious here...I asked my dad a similar question one time and he really didn't appreciate it.

Seriously though, I want to know...what's the problem down there?

Why can't MLB players keep their hands off their junk?

Is this a problem that baby powder could fix?

If any MAN chooses to reply with a rational reason, thank you. For any "new male tweeners" that will be pissed off that I asked, I'll just block you and remove your nasty comment...don't waste your time leaving a comment. Even though I'm a gay female, I DO know the difference between a "man" and a "male"...probably better so than do most of the straight women I know who are in relationships with "males" (not "men"). (Which, OK, now I've pissed all of them off too. Hey, these "non-news" posts sure are fun, aren't they?)

Yes. They can be.

YouTube Channel Used By ISIS Still Online - UPDATE: ***VIDEO STILL ON YOUTUBE***

This morning ISIS released a 4th video. No one lost their life in this video and there was no gore in it. The video was originally uploaded to YouTube on this channel. That 4th video that was posted by ISIS this morning was removed from YouTube within a couple of hours. However, the YouTube channel that hosted that video remains on YouTube...even though it has what appear to me to be 2 other ISIS propaganda videos on it.

(Go HERE to read more about the contents of today's video.)

If YouTube is removing the ISIS videos because they "promote terrorism", fine. If YouTube is removing the ISIS videos because they're gross, fine. But, at least be consistent, YouTube. There is zero "gore" in today's video and the two videos that remain (links below) on that YouTube channel from which you deleted the "4th video" released this morning, certainly promote terrorism...because they promote ISIS.

Do I speak Arabic? (Or whatever language they're speaking.) No. Watch the videos for yourself and tell me they do NOT "promote ISIS".

Video #1
Video #2

That YouTube channel should be knocked off of YouTube. And so should the hundreds (or thousands?) of other YouTube channels that promote terrorism. That is, IF YouTube's goal is to not allow terrorists to promote terrorism on their website. If that isn't YouTube's goal and their goal is to keep more Americans ignorant to the truth, then, leave all the terrorist channels and all of the videos they post online. At least that way we have some chance at knowing what and who the hell it is we're dealing with. Show some consistency, please.

I think all of the videos should remain easily accessible. I don't think any of them should be removed. I think all Americans and all Westerners should have the opportunity to view all of them. How can you know the truth unless you see it for yourself?

Just for the record, this is the url of the "4th video" (as seen in the picture at the top of this post) that was removed this morning by YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LNFzv9mTHew


*****UPDATE*****
11:46PM CST

The "#4 video", as I've referenced it above, that was released this morning by ISIS this morning was deleted from the original YouTube account to which it was uploaded. However, the video still remains here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KfDdIcAho5c on YouTube. I found this video earlier this morning shortly after the original had been removed. I fully expected this video to also be removed by YouTube by now. I'm guessing they have the cash to hire people who can translate the videos uploaded to their site. Funny how I, an English-only speaking dog groomer/part-time blogger/conservative hack, found the damn thing. Here is the title of the video as it appears on YouTube: تنظيم داعش ينشر تسجيلاً يظهر فيه الصحافي البريطاني المختطف "كانتلي " - I think it's probably pretty clear to all of you that I didn't write that. ;)

LaSean McCoy's 20-cent Tip Receipt - Ebay Bidding at $99,900 - You Read That Right

Richie Rich NFL football player LaSean McCoy of the Philadelphia Eagles goes into a burger joint in Philly and spends $61.56. He leaves a 20-cent tip "to make a statement" and a picture of his credit card receipt goes viral online. Someone at the burger joint decides to sell the receipt on eBay. 44 different bidders make 134 bids. The price of that receipt at auction on eBay now sits at $99,900.00. And, there are still 2 days left in the auction.

eBay

McCoy says he received crappy service and that's why he left the pathetic tip. Workers at the restaurant say that McCoy and his friends were insulting and disrespectful from the moment they sat down.

eBay

Bids had reached $100K but two different people who made those bids retracted them.

eBay

Here's the entire bidding history as of right now. The auction ends on September 20th...

eBay

eBay

eBay

eBay

eBay

eBay

The bidding began in a sane manner...and, then it just got nuts. Wouldn't it be nice to have that kind of money? I can think of so many better things to do with that kind of cash...oh well.

According to the seller's description on eBay the money received from this auction will be divided among all the staff at the burger joint:

The item up for Auction is the controversial $0.20 Receipt for Philadelphia Eagles running back LeSean "Shady" McCoy's meal at Philadelphia Restaurant, PYT.

The aforementioned receipt has caused quite the media buzz amongst social media/news networks/celebrities along with many others.

Not only do you get to keep a memento of weird current events/social media history but you also get an autograph from incredibly talented Philadelphia Eagles running back, LeSean McCoy!!!

As to how I came into possession of this item:

My good friend Tommy Up has left this receipt in my possession in order to ensure something positive comes out of this somewhat negative action that has recently taken place.

With your help we'll be able to leave the largest tip possible to all PYT employees for their hard work and dedication.

The only thing we would like to ask on your end is for the winner to write a personalized note or card to the PYT staff, which we give to the staff along with the winning bid/tip. (We want to give credit where credit is due)

Happy Bidding!!!

I don't know how many are employed at the burger joint...but, I'm guessing this will be the largest "tip" all of them will ever receive. Good job, LaSean. Hope you feel like you proved your point...raking-in $45 million+ and not even having the decency to leave a crappy $5.00 tip. You sure showed them! Ha.

I've worked in food service before (and may again in the future). Non-tippers and low-tippers really chap my ass, and as far as I'm concerned, they should never seek the "service" of ANYONE...EVER. In my experience, the "non-tipping class" is so full of themselves that it is not possible to give them the type of service to which they feel they are entitled...yet, they all use "poor service" as a reason for their not tipping. As if their mere presence on earth is the only needed qualifier for having someone come to their table to kiss their ass.

And, those of you who say you CAN'T AFFORD to tip: If you can't afford to tip, you can't afford to eat out. Period. Go to the grocery store and buy TRIPLE the amount of food you could buy for the same amount in ANY low-priced restaurant. Don't expect someone who works just as hard, if not harder, than you do to "serve" you for no tip simply because you opened a door and sat at a table.

The View Replaces One Whore With Another (Nicolle Wallace)

4 whores in a box.

So, Jenny McCarthy (the "whore'" I referenced in the title) and Sherri Shepard are being replaced on The View. I really don't personally know anyone who cares about this. I do, however, know a few people who may care about the GOPe's (GOP establishment's) whore, also known as Nicolle (her name *has* to be spelled with 2 "l's", doesn't it?) Wallace, being selected to "speak for Conservatives" on The View. You see, Nicolle Wallace is a slut of the political kind...she sold her soul to the "I-love-to-hate-crowd" (also known as "liberals" - er...the "GOPe" - er, "progressives" - all one in the same) to gain points with the kind of people who actually enjoy watching shows like The View.

Anytime I've ever watched The View (about 15 times in it's 17-year history) I've most often found it to be a rumor-mill-cesspool of unequaled proportions on daytime television...and, that was when Barbara Walters (a "real news person" - a title she relinquished YEARS AGO) still had anything to do with the show.

Don't blame poor little Nicolle. She just wants to be loved...and, she's such a whore, she doesn't care from where she receives it. I just hope the price The View is paying Nicolle for this legal prostitution is worth the price of the tiny shred of what may *possibly* have still existed of Nicolle's soul.

Watch this 96-second clip and TRY NOT to puke while doing so:


NICOLLE IS A LIAR, by the way. A tiny bit of the proof of my statement is below.

In the clip above from The View, Nicolle said this about her "relationship" with Palin:

"But our relationship erupted and exploded and it was irreparably damaged after the Katie Couric interview when she thought I set her up for failure and I felt like the questions were fair. She asked her what she read, you know, that was sort of the end of the end. "

The Palin/Couric interview aired on September 24, 2008.

34 days AFTER the Palin/Couric interview...October 28, 2008:
Nicolle Wallace told The Daily Beast about Governor Sarah Palin:

"Obviously I think she’ll be the next vice president."

And,

"...she’ll be one of the leaders of our party. I think it’s great for the Republican Party to put a woman front and center."

And,

"She’s just very, very engaging and she’s very normal and down to earth and very quick and smart, and she’s the real deal."

And,

"Look, in Sarah Palin’s case, first [the media complained] she didn’t give interviews and then the interviews she did were all wrong. There’s a standard applied to her that I don’t see applied to Joe Biden. First, she’s not available, then she starts talking to her press corps, which I think is great. I think when it’s a woman, there are all sorts of connotations to, you know, attacking, or for being a diva. That attack, first of all is not true. And second, you know, if a man did the same thing, what would he be called, independent?..."

And this, which is probably the most truthful thing a political whore could admit:

"Campaigns bring out the warriors in everybody. The very nature of debate, the reason it makes good live television is it’s two mother lions defending their cubs. But as soon as the campaign is over, everything changes."

Which are you, Nicolle?
A bought-and-paid-for campaign whore?
Or a bought-and-paid-for TV whore?

I don't need a phony conservative like you telling me "the Conservative answer" to my own questions on a mind-numbing time-waster like The View.

You've already proven to me and thousands of others that you're a whore.

Which kind you are really doesn't matter to me.

"Palin Family Brawl" - I SOOOOOOOO Want This Story To Be TRUE!!!

Oh, YES! I've read the latest stupid stories about the Palin family supposedly being "involved in a brawl" from the political ne'er do wells over at the Immoral Minority and Political Gates (& I'm NOT linking to them...let THEM link to ME - as they've done in the past)...LOL!!! I love a good "tramp" story, just like they do. Hell, I'VE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE of a good "tramp" story (as I call them)...let me tell you about it:

I was pissed off & had drank 3 beers & about 1/2 of a butterscotch schnapps after the 2012 election and I recorded a video that I KNEW WOULD GO VIRAL AS I WAS RECORDING IT...and, I was right...and EVERY liberal/hate blog on the planet called me a "drunk conservative" because I showed ONE of the beers that I was drinking and mentioned the ONE butterscotch schnapps that I also had in a glass at the time. Can't you just FEEL them all getting "giddy" as you're reading this? I can feel it as I'm writing it. Keep reading...


Although, they'll try to post my "viral video" in their feeble effort to discredit me. Well, you know what? FUCK THEM!!! I'll post it FOR THEM. I'd just gotten off of the phone with my dad and we were BOTH PISSED OFF and had been fueling each others' mood for about the previous 20 minutes! That being said, I guess I can hold my alcohol more than most of the paranoid schizos in the universe who freak out at that possibility of someone being able to convey a coherent thought past 4 drinks. What the hell are they drinking? And, why do they continue to drink it? You ALL had better STOP DRINKING if you do not have the ability to think coherently, as I proved I can, past 3+ drinks.

Anywho...back to the Palins:
The "Palin family" was allegedly "involved in a brawl" at someone's house party in Wasilla? Good!!!!!!!

The Palin family should be on TEAR throughout the ENTIRE UNITED STATES and I know MANY PEOPLE THAT WOULD JOIN-IN ON THEIR ASS-KICKING TOUR!!! I'm not just talking about the local "Bubba" in your town or in mine...I'm talking about members of the Army...Navy...Air Force...Marines...as well as various Special Ops folks that would LOVE to have a moment with you "I hate the Palins" assholes. It would truly be a reckoning...for you. And, dammit, it would be another "viral" moment for my NEW YouTube channel...if ONLY I ever get the chance to shoot that video...trust me, I'll be rolling...& uploading.

I HOPE the Palins were involved in ANOTHER fight to protect their good name. And, you know what else? It won't matter ONE FUCK who doesn't like it!!! You freaky freaks who "like" stories like this, you'll be spreading this story whether it's true or not until the end of your miserable lives. It's really sad you can't find anything better to do with your time. I know Sarah will...

Kisses.

Oh...and, this is my video...that I recorded when was less than 4 drinks in...to a long night that I ain't tellin' you about...JUST LIKE YOU WON'T TELL ME ABOUT ALL OF YOUR LONG NIGHTS YOU FUCKING HYPOCRITES!

Shut the fuck up about the Palins. All of you who constantly profess your HATRED of the Palins, we who love them all KNOW that you ALL wish you WERE one of them. I'm glad you're not. And, so are they.

(Although, I know they're glad I'm not, too. Good on them.)

A Few Of My Favorite Joan Rivers Clips (VIDEO)

Whether you were a fan of Joan Rivers or not, her career spanned 5 decades. Will you have a longer career than her? The vast majority of people won't. Will you be as active at age 81 as Joan was? The vast majority of people aren't. Joan's career was longer than my life so far. As a little kid I remember sneaking through my parents room to get closer to the living room TV (when I was supposed to be in bed) so that I could hear her guest hosting on The Tonight Show. My parents didn't want me hearing her...which is probably why I wanted so desperately to hear her.

If you are not a fan of political correctness, you should have been a fan of Joan's. She attacked everyone. There were absolutely times when Joan would say things I didn't like. Although, there were also many times when Joan's words bit so hard on people I disliked that I found it simple to forgive her past "offenses". Joan was an equal opportunity offender...a trait that is lacking in everyone today.

I must admit that I also quite enjoyed the fact that she swore in her private act...just because that, too, pisses so many people off. As if hearing a "bad word" from a female comedian was the worst thing to ever happen to them. Pfft.

Rather than immersing myself in more depressing and maddening news headlines for tonight, I thought I'd watch some Joan Rivers clips on YouTube. I've already watched so many great ones tonight that I thought I'd go ahead and post some of them here...some for you...and some for me.

I hope all of these clips and full-length shows will stay available on YouTube forever. Although, that isn't very likely. Watch them now, while they're still available.

__________


If I ever knew in the past that Joan Rivers was a guest on the Carol Burnett Show, I'd forgotten all about it. Even though, as a small child I was allowed to watch The Carol Burnett Show. Joan appears at 2:10 into this video and performs about 7-minutes of stand-up on Carol's show:



This clip is from "Joan & Melissa - Joan knows best?" that aired on WEtv. ("Joan knows best?" was one of my "guilty pleasures". I loved that show.) This clip is from 2012. I remember watching this scene and I KNEW it was a total ruse by Rivers and Burnett...although, several stupid "journalists" didn't know it was a ruse and actually wrote stories about the "feud" between Joan & Carol. Classic.



I'm almost certain that this is the last time Joan & Johnny appeared together on the Tonight Show. This clip is from 1986. It was in 1986 that Joan's late night show "The Late Show with Joan Rivers" premiered on FOX. When Joan called Johnny to tell him about her new show, he hung up on her...twice. Joan & Johnny never spoke again. I still love Johnny Carson but, I think that was a childish and, eventually, cruel move on his part. As a side note, I'm writing this blog post from Johnny's "hometown" of Norfolk, NE and I drive by Johnny's "boyhood home" many times throughout the course of a year. (It's on a main thoroughfare in town...I'm not stalking his old house.)



Once again...I don't remember Joan on The Carol Burnett Show. This is the complete show. Vincent Price is another guest-star on this show.



This is a practical joke that Johnny Carson played on Joan where he tricked her into believing that she was meeting Margaret Thatcher. According to Johnny, at this time in their relationship Joan and Johnny "had known each other for about 17 years". Reagan was president. Times were good in the USA.



Here is a 50-minute "head-shrinking" interview with New Zealand clinical psychologist Dr. Pamela Connolly that was uploaded to YouTube in June of 2012. It is described as "Funny, fascinating, intriguing & sometimes sad. If you love Joan, it's all here." (I have not yet watched this episode, therefore, I have nothing more to add. I'll watch it when I'm finished writing this post.)

(UPDATE: Now that I've watched this...holy cow...I don't think you'll find much humor in it. At least, I didn't. However, there is some. This was filmed when Joan was 74-years-old and I found this to be a very raw and in-depth interview...throughout. I truly got the feeling I was sitting-in on a therapy session. I'm not really comfortable with that. But, that's my problem. I'd certainly recommend this video to anyone who would like to get the feeling that they "know" Joan better. I saw a lot of similarities between her and I. That's what made me uncomfortable. Now, to cheer up, I'm going to go watch this.)

And, finally, I'll include this episode of Joan's web series called "In Bed With Joan" which was shot from a small room in Melissa's house. (If you don't know, Melissa is Joan's daughter.) Due to the size, cost (free), and set-up of the room, all of the guests "come out of the closet" (literally) upon introduction. This is probably the most "clean" episode I've seen of this show (although, I've not seen ALL episodes of the show...yet). I won't say that this is my favorite episode of the show...but, for my "audience", it's probably the most "safe" episode I could post. This episode was uploaded to YouTube one month ago (August 5, 2014).



If you'd like to see more clips of Joan Rivers go to YouTube and search her name. There are thousands of other clips available.


Thank you for a lifetime of laughs, Joan. Your humor has been a part of my life...and I'll miss your humor for the remainder of it. May you "rest in laughter".

Twitter Snobs Whine About Facebook Being Down

Facebook is down right now was down for about 15 minutes or so and more than a few Twitters users are were having a snit fit about Facebook users checking to see if other people were having trouble accessing Facebook. They're not all snobs...some of them look like they're trying really, really hard to be comedians. I wonder where they go when Twitter goes down? I usually go to www.DownRightNow.com to check if a website I use is down but, that isn't wasn't even working...that's why I went to Twitter, you snobs.










I was finally able to access the DownRightNow website...


Too bad I couldn't access DownRightNow earlier, that would have prevented the formation of this blog post.

Since Facebook is back up and running, I'm going to go make fun of Twitter users now.
Bye.
