Doing Damage
President Trump said that he’d be Putin’s “worst enemy” if US-Russia relations fail.
For example, by spreading the rumor that Putin is a huge Roseanne fan just before he visits The Red Hen.

Not My Favorite Classical Song, But I Liked the Final Product

I’ve seen synched Line Rider before, but this one has something new.
New to me, anyway.
I didn’t know you could do multiples.
A New Layer of Subtlety to the Process
Willie Wilson, the millionaire businessman and candidate for Chicago mayor, handed out cash to potential voters Sunday morning at a church on Chicago’s South Side.
Outrageous! What about all those good Chicago voters who don’t even have flowers on their graves?
Matching Set
Saturday Night Open Thread
I mentioned recently, in a roundabout way, that the Beach Boys ripped off Chuck Berry one time. Did you know that The Beatles did, too? No, I’m not talking about “Back in the USSR.” That was more of a Beach Boys parody. Or homage. No, it wasn’t a McCartney tune that caught Chuck Berry’s lawyer’s ear. It was a Lennon song, “Come Together.”
How did that lawsuit end up? Well, they settled out of court.
How big were the Beatles? The settlement was that Lennon had to record more of songs owned by the copyright owner of “You Can’t Catch Me.” Lennon recorded “You Can’t Catch Me” and “Ya-Ya,” which wasn’t a Chuck Berry song but was owned by the same copyright owner, as well as “Sweet little Sixteen.” They appeared on Lennon’s “Rock ‘N’ Roll” album.
So, what would you like to talk about? It’s Saturday Night Open Thread. That means you control the topic of the conversation.
What’s on your mind?

This is one of those where, just when I’d start to get a little bored, things would get stepped up a notch and become intriguing again.

Iran’s President warned President Trump that war with Iran would be “the mother of all wars“.
Perfect. We have just the bomb for that.
