The War Room: Feb 26 - March 4

[Large_Al]

GQTZ TZ F HVBU: HFVFTZ

It's Sat. evening I'm here covering the fight at work....tonight it's Vargas vs Mosley. It will be a good Middleweight bout. Every once in a while I have to work a special event here at the Data Center at Comcast. My job is to make sure that the 24 million customers at our 100+ sites can order this Pay Per View Event. I'm the last tier on the help list. By the time it gets to me the fight is usually over. So I thought this would be a perfect time do this weeks War Room.

I am always looking for good music and I found this site for streaming audio called http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/ (http://www.wolfgangsvault.com/). It's the live audio Vault with live cuts from famous R&R promoter Billy Graham shows he produced. He promoted concerts all over the country but the Fillmore West and the Fillmore East plus Winterland where his main venues.

This site has a streaming radio which plays nothing but Live 60's 70's 80's
cuts. Most are things you will not hear anywhere else. I just listened to Cream do "Sunshine or your love" at the Oakland Coliseum 10/04/68.
Before that was Aretha's "Respect" at the "Fillmore west" 03/05/71
Now they have Booker T doing Green Onions from Winterland 1968.

Well enough about Wolfgang. One more thing if you are on this website I implore you to got to http://www.hillsdale.edu/ (http://www.hillsdale.edu/) and sign up for their Free News letter the Imprimis. It a 6 page little thing that has a Speech or Lecture from some famous Conservative that was given at the Hillsdale College.
I look forward to them every month.

OK enough with the Public service announcement.

A good and faithful witness (for my Lord)

6 I see Donald and Martha are feuding over their Apprentice Shows.
Who in the world would be the your ideal person to apprentice under?

Well, whoever manages the animation department(s) at Pixar, but if it could be anybody, I would have LOVED to apprentice under Walt Disney back in the day.

7 If you could produce a TV show what would it be about?

I like mystery shows, or "weird" shows so probably something like the X-Files, or possibly a restructure of the show Wonder Falls

8 If you could write a book what would it be about?

A mystery, whodunit, or sci-fi thriller ... although I have have started a few children's books, and I've written two youth programs (about developing character) that one day I WOULD like to get published.

2 What is your favorite magazine?

:moo: Texas Monthly.

3 Who do you look at and say to yourself "How the Hell did they get Famous?"

:smirky: Willie Nelson.

4 What would be your dream Vacation?

:moo: A trip around the United States. I'd go through the northwest, to visit the states I've never been to, including a drive up the AlCan highway to Alaska, then over to Niagara Falls, since Mrs. Platinum has her heart set on seeing that (I've already been there), then back south to have another day at Dollywood.

:moo: I don't care for books.

9 What was the first concert you went to?

:smirky: In college, I went to the Armadillo to see "The Lost Gonzo Band". It was a second-rate band, & I didn't really enjoy the music. I just went, because some friends went.

:moo: The first one I went to by choice, also at the Armadillo, featured María Muldaur. I've also seen The Doobie Brothers & Bonnie Raitt. If you count a church service, I also was privileged to hear Michael Card at a church in Beaumont.

10 Who is your Favorite Saturday Night Live personality of all time?

:moo: Gilda "Roseanne Rosannadanna" Radner. Although, I loved Jane Curtin's deadpan looks, when she had to interview Roseanne on Weekend Update. The two of them made a great pair.

[BarryC]

Thanks for recommending Imprimus. I've subscribed to it for many years. I love it.
1 Do you now anybody else named Knute other that Knute Rockne? No, but who's Knute Rockne? All I know is that he got himself on a postage stamp once. How do you spell Gingrich's first name?
2 What is your favorite magazine? I don't get any at the moment, but there are many that I really like, and can't chose a favorite. One would be The Professional Car, which is the quarterly publication of the Professional Car Society, which is a car club for people who love vintage hearses, car-based ambulances and limousines. There's also Special Interest Autos, Collectible Automobile, Preservation Magazine, Alaska Magazine, which I subscribed to for many years and New Jersey Outdoors, which was discontinued. But I do buy Weird NJ every time it comes out (twice a year).
3 Who do you look at and say to yourself "How the Hell did they get Famous?" ? I dunno. But there are tons of celebrities who I wonder why people like them.
4 What would be your dream Vacation? To go to California to see the Giant Sequoias, the Coast Redwoods and the Bristlecone Pines (the worlds largest, tallest and oldest trees respectively). Once done there, spend some time in Alaska, and then do more exploring here in Jersey.
5 If you could do one thing in your life and succeed at it what would it be? To have a job that pays well enough to live somewhere alone. I realize that doesn't exactly answer the question, but it's close.
6 I see Donald and Martha are feuding over their Apprentice Shows.
Who in the world would be the your ideal person to apprentice under? Ya got me.
7 If you could produce a TV show what would it be about? I dunno.
8 If you could write a book what would it be about? Maybe about the places I've been to and photographed in my travels around New Jersey.
9 What was the first concert you went to? The only concert I ever went to. That would be the Moody Blues, with the "Atlantic City Festival Orchestra", at the Mark Ettis Arena at the Trump Taj Mahal casino. This was around 1992 I think. It was fantastic. We sat in something like the 22nd row, but every seat in the house was good. The air conditioning worked well, and we got snacks. There couldn't have been a more enjoyable concert.
10 Who is your Favorite Saturday Night Live personality of all time? Don't have one, but I enjoyed it back in the late '70s.

[Melz]

1 Do you now anybody else named Knute other that Knute Rockne? No, but I have heard sillier names since this one, so I don't consider it an odd name.
2 What is your favorite magazine? It used to be Ladies Home Journal. Now it is Cottage Living. Or my gardening magazine. I don't read magazines for enjoyment lately, just for ideas. Kinda like the 5 catalogs a day I get in the mail.
3 Who do you look at and say to yourself "How the Hell did they get Famous?" ? Paris Hilton, by far. Where in the world did this talentless chick come from???
4 What would be your dream Vacation? I would love to go to Ireland.
5 If you could do one thing in your life and succeed at it what would it be? Being the best parent I can be to my daughter. Sometimes I feel like I am failing no matter how hard I try.
6 I see Donald and Martha are feuding over their Apprentice Shows.
Who in the world would be the your ideal person to apprentice under? Alan Greenspan!
7 If you could produce a TV show what would it be about? A show about turning idiots into non-idiots...lol. That makes no sense, but I know what I mean. Put a bunch of people who keep effing up in a hard core program to teach them that they are effing up and how to not continue doing so.
8 If you could write a book what would it be about? If I could write like Michelle Malkin or Ann Coulter, I would have it made, they sum up so much that I would want to say.
9 What was the first concert you went to? I saw Alabama when I was 13. I don't like country music, but the experience was awesome at that age and I am still fond of their music if only because of that.
10 Who is your Favorite Saturday Night Live personality of all time? Mike Meyers. Not even from SNL only, but he is hilarious, I have no idea how one has the guts to be such a dork even!

Ann Coulter

Ever watched "Are You Being Served?"

http://www.nostalgiacentral.com/images_tv/areyoubeingserved_02.jpg

ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS British comedy about a retail store.

[Large_Al]

Yes I have and I enjoyed it very much. In my previous life I was in Retail Management with some large chains. I found the stuff that happened in the stores every day was a Soup Opera. Retail sucks that what I learned of 25 years in it.

[HomeschoolrsRUs]

"Are You Being Served" and "Keeping Up Appearances" (Mrs. Bucket is da bomb!) comes on PBS here on Saturday evenings, and we watch them every chance we get. AYBS is so hilarious! I used to work retail too ... my most notable experience with Sears. I must say, your assessment is spot on, :thumb:

7 If you could produce a TV show what would it be about? I keep thinking someone should produce a show about education as it really is, not some silly-assed idealistic nonsence with babes.
8 If you could write a book what would it be about? Education as it really is. My dream is to publish a book filled with the kind of memos teachers get from administrators and doctors of education. You would NOT believe the nonsense.
9 What was the first concert you went to? I'm ashamed to admit it, but it was an Alice Cooper concert.
10 Who is your Favorite Saturday Night Live personality of all time?
I'm just as amused as Elgalad with Christopher "More Cowbell!" Walken, quite possibly one of the greatest comic actors of all time. But, the choices are truly enormous. For now, I'll go with Chris Kattan.
