As a lad, I thought Laura Petrie seemed like the kind of gal to marry - responsible, but loads of fun too, and a terrific dancer. I also imagined that things would be great when there were no cameras around and no network censors to keep happy, as demonstrated by her stunt double, below.

Hasn't he broken enough laws yet? Somebody needs to stop this guy. Where's Judge Roy Bean when you need him, only more in the style of Judge Isaac Parker.

I've had a long life, filled with magical moments of live music, but there was one incredibly funky rendition of "Born on the Bayou" that I will never forget.

We were promised that we would all be grilling massive steaks in our living rooms but that turned out to be a bunch of bologna sandwich.

Here are two influential Republican operatives reviewing "Project 1965," which included tricks like toilet papering the homes of Democrats and leaking tips to newspapers about Democrats not having perfect attendance in church. Fortunately no one ever stooped so low again.

I'm definitely not seeing enough whining about daylight saving time. What's with the politico-temporal submission?

I'm trying to decide how to celebrate International Women's Day, since today is International Women's Day! Y'all are such a diverse lot.

I think that reserving Sunday as a day for relaxation and the enjoyment of life makes pretty good sense. Drink to me only with thine eyes, Junior.

This is an Easterly daguerreotype from the late 1840s of Keokuk, a Fox man who is described as an "artist" who was "having a hard time believing some of the bullshit he has been seeing lately."

I think we need less than we think we need. Happiness often springs from the simplest of circumstances. Free your mind and your boat, and/or goat, will follow.

I regret to inform me that I now live in a country known worldwide for being the bad guys who instigate violence and unnecessary suffering. Under the direction of an evil, sociopathic dictator of course. I'd like to get back to being known for being mostly okay as soon as possible.

The description says she is singing, "I've Been Working on the Railroad" in Japanese and she's sending it out to all those boys from China who went over there and got those tracks laid up and over the Sierra Nevada mountains.

There's an old Massai saying that just occurred to me:

"If you're going to take the bull by the horns, be sure you know where you're taking him."

It makes me think about starting wars and perhaps what to consider in advance of those decisions.

We all know you can't be open about your atheism if you want to get elected to Congress but are there similar red flags involved in pulling down an Oscar?

There is no denying it, as a nation we currently find ourselves on the horns of a dilemma and while the solution is right there in front of us, achieving it is going to be painful.

Why if it isn't Roberta Joan Anderson and a high school friend back in the Saskatoon days! Voted in the yearbook as "Most Likely to Exceed."

I think I'll make like Monet and just chill around the pad today, maybe try taking some art out into the world later.

I was going to stick around for the encore but the band never came back out. Have you put your exit plan in writing?

I'm sure it's time to complain about daylight saving time, since we get to move our clocks forward by an hour this weekend. So I'll start: Man this is really going to mess me up and I can't handle it! Wait a minute - I think I do feel spring fever coming on. This could get interesting.

When they say "F You," we say "F You" harder but we also include the horse they rode in on. Which in this case was a GOP-brained horse.

In listening to my 50 year old cassette tapes a few interestings things turn up. Like: Tom Petty was not a fan of Bobby Bare and gave him rather the cold shoulder! I hope they get a chance to reconcile in Rock and Roll Heaven, which does have a Country Western Wing.

I always say, if you're starting to feel drowsy behind the wheel, pull over and find a place to lay your head. It should put an end to all your troubles.
