Mushroom Soup Friday

Would that I could forsake all I have to do today and just blog for you but I can't so up goes the soup can. Sorry but here are a few odds 'n' ends before I leave you until tomorrow or the next obit, whichever occurs first…

My buddy Jeff Abraham says that the Friar's Roast — the one I posted the photo from — aired on 1/21/70. He oughta know.

I said something here the other day about Time-Warner owning Time-Warner Cable and many of you wrote to tell me no, Comcast now owns Time-Warner Cable. Well, you were all right then but the deal's been scuttled so I'm right now. I think we should all pool our money and buy Time-Warner Cable ourselves. Given their level of service, it can't cost more than a few grand.

Matt Taibbi thinks the Republican party has a real problem: Younger Republicans aren't rallied and are maybe even alienated by cries to stop Gay Marriage. Older Republicans still are. So how do you take a stand and hold onto both?

I seem to not be speaking at any memorial services for departed friends this weekend. Looks like it'll be a good weekend.

I may post a video and a rerun article later but barring any obits, I'm outta here 'til tomorrow. Bye!
