Though obviously I would know *this* Mel Brooks reference:

And yes, I've both played that in my own big band, and done it with the youth big band. Again, since you didn't ask.

Can I not ask you about stuff too?

Back to Trump.

So why does he hate Obama so much……

Feel free. I'm hiding away from canicule with not much to do (which is no bad thing, as I'm not very good at Not Doing Stuff Outdoors... which is mostly a way of avoiding Doing Boring Stuff Indoors.)

His middle name is Hussein.

His middle name is Hussein.

Amazed that Trump has never mentioned that.

 

[secretsqirrel]

Oh not because he is like Sheriff Bart to Trump‘s Hedley Lamarr.

Sorry, still pondering on Mel Brooks references.

My knowledge of popular culture and films is letting me down... I only know Mambo No.5 from a big band arrangement I've done with my youth big band (in Montreux and Vienne, since you didn't ask).

There’s a Mel Brooks film called To Be Or Not To Be where the actor playing Hitler in a spoof play “Naughty Nazis” sings about being kind hearted and only wanting a little peace (although I originally thought it was from The Producers).

Joke country, really can not be taken seriously when something like this is allowed to happen without suitable checks and balances.
Well done to the 2 Republicans who voted against. But seriously how can anyone accept such close relationships between the judiciary and the executive?

Someone commented that as soon as Susan Collins said she'd vote against that they knew they had enough to confirm without her, so she could pretend to her state that she had principles, without worrying that her vote would make any difference. The whole system is rotten.

The US is fücked. Simple as that, and has been for 18 months. It is only going downhill and nobody knows how far.
It will take a decade at least to reverse the damage already done, plus what is to come on top of that.

Quote of the week.

El-Sayed to Sky News:

• Q - “Trump says you’re full of shoot. Abdul El-Sayed: At least I don’t let mine go in the middle of the Oval Office.”

Just in case you want to idle some time away,

No such thing as a Fish episode - "No such thing as a fence made of sausage"
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0p0hv9w

There is an interesting discussion about Lou Bega and whether or not Mambos 1 to 4 exist.
You can also check out episode 324 "No Such thing As Mambo No.2"

Also enjoy the original Mambo No.5

Great news: Amazon Prime is promising a documentary series on Melania Trump this autumn. I can hardly wait.
