Saturday Night Hootenanny

First off we have two new members of the Order of the Golden Emu to acknowledge. While neither phrased it quite as I imagined it we are in a holiday mood so Merry Christmas.

The answer was, of course, singers who had acting careers. (Not one offs, cameos or playing themselves) Our proud new members of the order who can boldly add the “OGE” to their names.

Bob B and Rihar

Congratulations gentlemen.

No real question for tonight but our theme is…

This one is for you Basil.

To the music!

Yet Another 2020 Triumph!

Adolf Hitler Wins Election in Namibia
Newsweek | 12/03/2020 | Basit Mahmood

A politician named Adolf Hitler has won a regional election in Namibia.

Adolf Hitler Uunona has been elected with 85 percent of the vote for a seat on the regional council in the former German colony, where street names, people and places still have German names.

However, Adolf Uunona says he wants to assure people that he has no plans for world domination.

He told German tabloid paper Bild: “My father named me after this man. He probably didn’t understand what Adolf Hitler stood for. As a child I saw it as a totally normal name. Only as a teenager did I understand that this man wanted to conquer the whole world”

Great schools they’ve got there.

“FYI, this ‘controversial’ testing method is called ‘seismic testing.’ It is a method that the oil and gas industry uses in order to map underground geologic strata in an attempt to determine whether or not the various layers of rock contain hydrocarbons. To be clear, this ‘controversial’ testing method has been used by the U.S. industry since 1921, and use of it in the Gulf of Mexico has been approved by every U.S. President since Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

“This story is just one of a million examples of how leftwing fake ‘journalists’ fake the news they deliver to the American public.

“Despicable hacks.”
