Well, I've got more Memphis pics to share tonight! :D I tried a new dessert that sounded rather "What the Spark?!" but ended up being yummy! See if y'all can guess what it is.
On a more serious note, here is a recreation of the Birmingham jail cell where MLK was held & his room (the way it was) the morning of his assassination.
This is the view of MLK's room from the vantage point of the assassin; again, you didn't need to be an expert marksmen.
Let's move on to "this day in history." On this date in 1961, baseball Hall of Famer Ty Cobb died at age 74. And, from the stories I've heard, he was a mean S.O.B. both on the field & off. Donald Sutherland (aka "Jack Bauer's" Dad) is 77 today! If you've seen Animal House, you've seen his bare a$$, too! :D
It's time for some SPARK in our lives. :D Man, that President Obama CAN do anything! I've read 26 of these books. How 'bout y'all? Finally, Victoria's been keeping her "secret" for a long damn time! ;D
On with The Rachel Maddow Show...
"Sarah Palin was the Better Candidate" - What MENSA member thinks $aint $arah from Wasilla was anything short of a disaster of Titanic proportions?! Mittens has hired a bunch of new folk to vet VP folks; he hopefully hasn't hired the same people Senator McCentury hired! Governor Gilligan, Governor Paw...ZZZZzzzzz....OOPS!, and Rep. Paul "Kill Medicare" Ryan are supposedly on the list. The 'ol tax return shenanigan is back, too. I vaguely remember the stuff with the Ferraro's; I'm awfully very interested in the Mittens tax $hit. Lots of previous POTUS candidates (including Mittens Dad) released multiple years of tax returns. Mittens has released.well...not that much. What on earth could he possibly be afraid of - that we'll find out he's an out - of - touch 1%er?! Mittens released a whole slew of returns when Senator McCentury was looking for a VP; Senator McCentury maybe found something he didn't like. An increasing number of "conservatives" are telling Mittens to release the damn returns already. An increasing number of questions about all his off - shore accounts are being asked, too. Mittens has a hell of an IRA! Dan Rather gets Mittens taxing (or lack thereof) duty - neato!
{And, I'm going to probably miss most of Mr. Rather in an attempt to fix the feed AGAIN.}
"Batty" - Boss Limbaugh sees librul conspiracies in the upcoming Batman movie. Whatever...some saw pro - GWB messages in the last Batman movie. People see what they wanna see in everything. Boss Limbaugh has no ideas how movies are made; no one knew or could've known Mittens would be the MENSA nominee. If memory serves, there's been a "Bane" villain in the Batman comics when Mittens wasn't even a twinkle in his parents' eyes.
"'He Can Do Well Without Me!'" - GWB is distancing himself from the Mittened one. Well, I'm sure there was mutual agreement on THAT subject. ;D Is it just me, or does GWB look way older? Probably clearing too much brush without sunscreen... DICK's all over the damn place with fundraisers. Well, in partial defense to Mittens, DICK shoots friends in the face. Can y'all imagine what he'd do to Mittens if he'd said no?! The GDP never grew by leaps & bounds during GWB's tenure. A shock, I know. President Obama's in GWB's backyard today for some fundraising. YIKES! I don't imagine that particular state will be especially rolling out the coin for him. Challenging him to gun fights at some corral, yes, but fundraising? Nope.
"'He Can Do Well Without Me!' Part Deux" - President Obama spoke to Latinos today? Well, OK. They'll be a slightly more receptive audience against the dude who called SB 1070 a model for the nation. Here's Wayne Slater on the POTUS in TX beat. Remember, a whole lot of ex - GWB folk are on Mittens' campaign staff & in important advisory roles.
"Wildest Dreams" - SOS Clinton is now officially the most widely traveled SOS in history, but she got a hell of a reception in Egypt - including shouts of "Monica! Monica!" OUCH!!! Part of that reception can be laid at the feet of Lonesome Rhodes (not the Andy Griffith "Lonesome Rhodes"); he's really pushing the "US bankrolled the Muslim Brotherhood" memo. Bat$hit Bachmann is doing her part, too.
