For once, the FCC got it right

 This is how bad the paranoia is within the GOP.

They wanted Bad Bunny investigated for possible violations of language and content in his Spanish language concert last week at the Super Bowl.

You can say they did this because they couldn't understand word one of any of his lyrics, even if you left them a case of Berlitz English to Spanish books. They thought they saw some suggestive material that really wasn't there. President Pampers whined that he couldn't understand anything, and, of course, hated the show.

Turning Point USA stages a counter-concert with has-been rap-rocker Kid Rock, gets about 5 million views on YouTube in 24 hours, nowhere near the 128 million that tuned in for Bad Bunny. TPUSA would think that Donnie Diapers turned on them, but then, they should know by now that the Vicar of Vanity needs something to complain about.

Digression over. The FCC ruled late in the week that, nope, Bad Bunny did nothing wrong. Not even the corrupt chairman, Brendan Carr, could see things the GOP's way, and pursue the case. Game over.

Emboldened by the 5 million+ views on YouTube, TPUSA is planning another show for next year. So which has-been will headline this time? Ted Nugent?  Lee Greenwood?

Reality will soon set in. The meltdown, as usual, will be fun to watch.

Classic TV: The circus comes to I've Got a Secret (1955)

 We're closing out our Valentine's Day celebration with this offering from I've Got a Secret:

Legendary Ringling Bros. & Barnum & Bailey Circus clown Emmett Kelly is getting married, and the panel (Bill Cullen, Jayne Meadows, Henry Morgan, & Faye Emerson) have to guess the identity of his bride-to-be. Plus, special guest George Gobel plays a running gag throughout the show.

See? Even clowns fall in love. Happy Valentine's Day.

Marryin' Stooges (In The Sweet Pie & Pie, 1941)

 Every now and again, the Three Stooges would be given romantic interests. In 1941's "In The Sweet Pie & Pie", however, the boys are manipulated into a triple wedding by a conniving lawyer (an uncredited Richard Fiske) to help three socialites collect an inheritance. The boys have been accused of crimes they apparently didn't commit, and are subject to be hanged, but, oh, is that shyster about to find out the truth.......

Rating: A-.

Fantasy Fridays: An astronaut in........Persia? (I Dream of Jeannie, 1965)

 From season 1 of I Dream of Jeannie:

On impulse, Jeannie (Barbara Eden) transports Tony (Larry Hagman) to ancient Persia. Chaos erupts, of course. Richard Kiel & Henry Corden guest star, with the latter as Jeannie's father.

As you know, Corden would remain with Screen Gems to do work for Hanna-Barbera, and a recurring role beginning the next year on The Monkees. Can't really tell if someone, like, maybe, Ted Cassidy, dubbed over Kiel's lines.......

Fantasy Fridays returns next month with some legit Friday the 13th scares. Family Fridays will be back after that.

Just Dumb Vance digs himself a deeper Olympic hole...........

 Just a week after being booed during the opening ceremonies at the Olympics, Vice President Just Dumb Vance issued a rebuke to American athletes who have already raised concerns with the Trump administration.

He thinks he can boss athletes around.

Basically, Vance is telling the athletes to compete, and do nothing else. Well, what are they supposed to do when they do pressers after winning events? They have opinions and feelings like everyone else. The fact that Vance and his wife, Usha, were booed last week was the product of guilt by association, since Donald Trump has become the most hated man on the planet, destroying America's reputation as he goes along. The Worst President of All-Time is a thin-skinned man-child approaching his 80th birthday in four months, and cannot comport himself like an adult, especially if he's rage-watching television, just to have something to complain about.

Vance is trying to present himself as a more mature version of his boss, but the vibe ain't there. Athletes aren't robots, devoid of emotion, guy, so STFU!!

Musical Interlude: I'll Show Them All (1982)

 Steve Allen wrote "I'll Show Them All" for his Broadway bio of Sophie Tucker. In 1982, George Kirby covered it at the Jerry Lewis MDA telethon. Intro by Sammy Davis, Jr..

Pam Bondi melts down before Congress. What a shock

 Her boss behaves like a brat virtually 24/7 on Truthless Social because he's easily offended by just about everything that opposes him. So should it surprise anyone that on Wednesday, US Attorney General Pam Bondi went before the House Judiciary Committe, and started behaving like an entitled nepo brat herself? California Rep. Ted Lieu even went so far as to imply that Bondi was committing perjury right then & there with some of her remarks.

Bondi ignored the presence of some of the survivors of deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, and that was part of the focus of a discussion on The View.....

But, oh, that ain't all!

Back here at home, a judge appointed Donald Kinsella as a US Attorney, ostensibly replacing John Sarcone. Kinsella, unlike Sarcone, is an experienced prosecutor. Five hours later, Kinsella was notified via Bondi's deputy, Todd "Bleached" Blanche, that he was being removed. This is retaliation for Sarcone being stripped of his title, then being elevated by Bondi. Kinsella is not even sure Blanche had any right to do so.

And let us not forget that a Washington, DC grand jury refused to indict six senators, including Mark Kelly of Arizona, in relation to their now famous video, released in November, where they told military personnel that they can refuse unlawful orders. Another black mark for Bondi, Blanche, and the Department of Injustice. Bondi's public meltdown has some conservatives, shockingly, calling for her to resign or be removed, and the latter is not likely at this point.

It's only mid-February, and the heat is already starting to creep up on the misadministration......
