Bernie Sanders, one of the Democratic Presidential candidates for 2016, made his debut on Saturday Night Live last night. He appeared in a Titanic skit with his twin separated at birth, Larry David. Naturally, Bernie always gets his message across!
Sanders shouted, “I’m so upset with the one percent getting this preferential treatment,” before making a suggestion: “Enough is enough. We need to unite and work together if we’re going to get through this.”
“Sounds like Socialism to me,” David said, dismissing him.
“Democratic socialism!” Sanders countered.
“What’s the difference?” David asked.
Mimicking Donald Trump, Sanders replied, “Yuuuuge difference.”
Pretty damn good timing, Bernie!!
This is our daily open thread — What makes you laugh?
What makes me laugh, you asked.🙂
During the Jan. 27th Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Stephen called one of his producers to come on camera to discuss his need to leave for the airport promptly after taping. Stephen had to make small talk about her being 6′ 2″ in stocking feet and her search for a man of suitable height. It was her reply to Stephen’s question, “What’s your cut-off?” Her reply, “It gets lower every year!”
All 5′ 7″ of me laughed at that and brought thoughts of a tall, beautiful woman I know!😉
Here’s a longer version, if it stays posted.
An Historical Narrative Written/Produced by Bernard Sanders “Eugene Debs Documentary” 1979
Hillary says she’s ‘just having fun’ in New Hampshire. (She’s lost ground in the most recent poll)
The GOP race is boiled down to ‘The Establishment Candidate’, ‘The Anti-Establishment Candidate’ and ‘The Evangelical Candidate’. There’s still a competition for the establishment candidate.
I’m supporting the ‘Anti-Evangelical Candidate’
I’d be for the anti-establishment/evangelical candidate, if only there was one.
CNN is really taking issue with Cruz’s excuse for his campaign claiming Carson was dropping out. Last night he apologized again to Carson at the debate, but blamed CNN for speculation about Carson, the day of the Iowa caucuses, misleading his staffers. CNN is showing replays of the opposite, and just calling Cruz an out-and-out liar.
‘Cruz lies’. Nice to see CNN can get something right now and again.
Corrected proofs for my chapter in the forthcoming “Intuition in Mathematics and Physics: A Whiteheadian Approach” sent off to the editor. Given how inactive I’ve felt these last few months academically, with only my blog going on, it is feeling good to have produced 6,000 words that more or less make sense.
“. . . produced 6,000 words that more or less make sense.”
Wild-assed guess: you’re not a Republican?😆
Well, if I was like Rubio, they’d be, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy” repeated about 600 times …
Hee-hee
Animal Planet’s Puppy Bowl or Hallmark Channel’s Kitten Bowl?
Your Sunday LOLcats – Top Drawer Edition
For those of you not watching the Super Bowl, Flix Channel has an environmental historical document from the future, titled ‘Waterworld’ starring Kevin Costner.😉
I honestly can’t recall the last time I watched a Super Bowl (or any football game, for that matter). Today, however, has proven to be a good time to binge watch Poldark (the new one) on Amazon. Much more interesting than any football game could ever be!🙂
Ah Poldark, saw the one in the 70s … it was handy.
This is a new one. The old one was better, but this’ns OK. So far first season only, though, so by the time the next season streams I’ll have forgotten . . . etc.😉
Stupor Bowl? 5 hours of razz for a game that last 60 minutes on a clock and during which the ball is in motion something like 15-16 minutes….. all that showbiz gets right up my nose……. smaller Turtles have a request in to eat Stuporbowl junk food and watch the Dark Knight. I may demur and watching something I recorded a few weeks ago.
Oh my god; the ST00PID! IT BURNS!!!!
Carson explained later that they told him to stand there until he heard his name called. He never heard it when they called his name. I can only imagine Trump had a similar excuse.
Very poor way to do the entrance. They should have just had someone stand behind the cameraman saying “Now, start walking.”
I had a mild shock earlier. I was watching the professional bowling on ESPN and during the show, their ‘lane-side’ reporter interviewed the loser of the first match. She could make me a fan of almost any sport. Her name is Kimberly Pressler. She was Miss USA in 1999.
Audi just had an ad using Starman by David Bowie, and on the screen at the end under the Audi logo it said ‘In memory of the Starman’.
Ruh roh! Cam just self destructed.
If this is Bruno Mars, he’s ripping off Morris Day, big time.
