Wednesday Open Thread: March 27 - The Birthday of Phil Chess

Submitted by enhydra lutris on Wed, 03/27/2019 - 5:00am

It's Day 86 of the Year 2019 CE (Gregorian), meaning that it's March 27, 2019 (Gregorian), or 13.0.7.6.13 by the long count

Phil Chess was born on March 27, 1921. He co-founded Chess Records with his brother Leonard. The rest, is history, as they say. Their first record was Gene Ammons' My Foolish Heart. They went on to produce "Rocket 88", by Jackie Brenston and His Delta Cats (Brenston with Ike Turners' Band), groups like the Moonglows and Glamingos and artists such as Etta James, Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wold, Little Walter, Bo Diddley, Willie Dixon, and many more. But, enough of that ...

I'll bring up the fact that the most recent hate hoax perpetrator was released with all charges dropped. Not going to mention his name, we all know it.
He doesn't deserve the attention. No link either, because I don't want to buy into the strategy that I think is going on here.

Now, I'm going to put my mind somewhere I don't usually like to go, but it needs it in this case. If I was a total asshole looking to PROVE that people were racist, the fastest way I can think of to manufacture a genuine hate crime would be to let somebody go free for perpetrating a fake one.

Since nobody rose to the bait last time, it would be time to make the bait even MORE tasty and appealing. And if you don't believe we have people who would take FULL advantage of that, you have a much more hopeful view of humanity than I do.

Minority-privileged topic of your comment? Goes scot-free.

One really has to wonder who it was that Martha Stewart refused to, or neglected to, pay off.

@lotlizard happen to you. Somehow she was a warning or the easy scapegoat, easy target to make people think that celebrities were equal opportunity prisoners?

I was never a fan, but her behavior during the whole affair, was excellent. Now I admire her.

The trees are leafing out as spring unfolds. A few years back we had a 3 day freeze first week in April and it killed all the emerging leaves. The oldest people I know had never seen that. Currently they are predicting a warm next few weeks, so I think we will avoid that scenario again.

Thanks for the Chess recordings and story. Many of my friends collect and play 78's. Joe Bussard is a famous collector and has some of his records are on-line - free to listen...

@Lookout
At least the sun is shining. Mostly taking care of healthcare needs and paperwork this morning.

Have a new prescription coming from a specialty pharmacy and although the prescription is monthly until 2022; they told me by phone today that i have to contact them by phone each month to order the medicine. "Can't i make this automatic, I asked?"
"No." they replied.
"Do this online,?"
"No."
Bureaucracy in livid color.

Anyways, hope you enjoy the Spring day.

Message to Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, Kemala Harris, Tulsi Gabbard and the rest of the crew: you can stop asking for campaign donations, because you no longer stand a chance in the 2020 elections. Your own party, and the media who support you, made sure of that. Or rather, the only chance you would have is if you guys start another smear campaign against your president, and I wouldn’t recommend that.

Not one word in this progressive article from the progressive newspaper about the progressive climate change. nope "We're capitalists" never learn

Sonoma County’s super commuters earn the highest annual pay in Bay Area

“They just want more for their money,” she said. “They can’t afford to buy in San Francisco. They’ve been priced out.”

Apartment List’s Salviati said the significant wage premium for Sonoma County super commuters is a powerful motivator, since the North Bay has far fewer “knowledge economy jobs” at tech, software and social media companies than downtown San Francisco.

“These folks wouldn’t be driving this far if it wasn’t necessarily worth it for them,” he said.

“San Francisco has a super strong economy and has for a very long time. All these job opportunities bring in new folks and a lot of demand for housing. But there hasn’t been any (housing) construction to speak of to keep up with all that demand.”

super strong

Could come up with a law suit against the media(s) for fraudulent portrayal of facts. Like they did against the tobacco lobby. And Monsanto. The DNC. NY Times. Washington Post. 911 Truth. Pentagon spending. The Freedom of Information Act does hold some weight. And re-define national security black out. Sheesh.

I get it the courts are beholden to the elites. I think people want to see some form of justice aside from the congressional commission reports where all the biggest liars are let off the hook. Sue the bastards.

Donna Brazile: What we really need to learn from the Mueller report

Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report has now cleared President Trump and his campaign of any involvement in a conspiracy with Russia to win the presidential election, at least according to a summary of Mueller's findings by Attorney General William Barr. This is good news not only for President Trump, but also for our country.

However, Barr’s letter to members of Congress Sunday summarizing the Mueller report shows Trump did not receive a complete exoneration. Moreover, the report contains information we need to see in order to safeguard our election process from interference from foreign entities.

Regarding Mueller’s investigation into whether the president obstructed justice, Barr quoted Mueller as writing: “While this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him.”

Signed,
The Good Christian Woman who lied out loud on national TV about passing debate questions to Her campaign while she was a head talker at CNN. From CNN to FoxNews. D-Value cascade.

our campsite during morning coffee and a philosophical discussion on the issue of whether, if we complete all of our proposed hikes today, we might cheat and reward ourselves by driving into Borrego Springs for dinner at Pablito's. Explored Little Surprise Canyon, which was new to us, yesterday. (For any hip to the area, it is right off of the parking lot for the Hellhole Canyon trailhead, and very rewarding.)

So, will Russia, Russsia, Russiagate evolve into Rachael, Rachael, Rachaelgate? Will Mueller time evolve into cocktail hour? Dunno, don't, at the moment, care. There's a whole different world over and south of Yaqui pass, beginninng with the hillside hike to Yaqui well, and we is off, hoping to see some borrego on the ridge west of the pass on the way.
