wapo: reminds us it’s also the bicycle’s 200th birthday today:
The Bicentennial of the Bicycle
Get a handle on the bicycle’s many evolutionary chain-ges with this timeline of two centuries of two-wheelers — from birth, to boneshakers and BMXes, to beyond.

Ahhhh, Bach. What a wonderful piece and an amazing artist. Thank ya, thank ya, thank ya.
Of interest is the babysitter arriving at the WH this past week and the family’s children being rounded up for a trip to the mountain cabin, the toys (golf clubs and twitter machine) left behind. Also, the hiring of a real attorney brings something else of to play in the hellish stew pot of the B actor’s menu. Also, this is the first time the man-child is not paying himself to go play golf somewhere.
pogo, you might want to share this with lil pogo for fathers day laugh
Get Bach to where you once belonged……
From the time the man-child sneaked into the babysitter’s purse and took the twitter machine there has been not one tweet regarding his ship the Fitzgerald or the sailors killed or injured. What a sad excuse of a human. I am constantly embarrassed for having him even on this same continent as our country.
Maybe if he had filled the jobs like he was supposed to…
Great way to start the day Jace
ps the Georgia goopers are cleaning up the voter roles with phony rules the League of Women Voters should sue or someone should
Jace, when are you going to ‘fess up and tell us–the artist in this fabulous Bach is Melania and the page-turner is her sister whom we have not yet been introduced.

Beautiful selection. Bach is appropriate every day of the week.

The Twit is Tweeting this AM complete with jealousy swipe at 44. There is a single golf hole at Camp David (3 different tee positions) and a staffer finally typed out a little something on the Fitzgerald.
nice one Jace
so if Trump thinks this is a witch hunt does that mean he admits he’s a witch?

Trump lawyer: President ‘not under investigation’ — no matter what Trump tweets
“The president is not under investigation by the special counsel,” Jay Sekulow, a member of President Trump’s legal team, told “Meet the Press” moderator Chuck Todd on NBC. He also made similar comments to Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.”
[….]
“The tweet from the president was in response to the five anonymous sources that were purportedly leaking information to The Washington Post about a potential investigation of the president,” Sekulow said. “But the president, as James Comey said in his testimony and as we know as of today, the president has not been and is not under investigation.”
“He’s not afraid of the investigation. There is no investigation,” Sekulow added.

The Witches already rejected the idea that Trump had anything to do with them. Any claims to the contrary will be appropriately cursed.
Flatus,
Shhh, you let the cat out of the bag. LOL
Thanks all,
In a world that makes less sense by the day, it is nice to hear something that makes complete sense from beginning to end. Such is Bach.
Happy Father’s Day
O mein papa..german show tune popularized by Eddie Fisher as Oh, my Papa —
Oh, my Papa, to me he was so wonderful,
Oh, my Papa, to me he was so good.
No one could be so gentle and so lovable,
Oh, my Papa, he always understood.
Oh, my Papa, so funny, so adorable,
Always the clown so funny in his way.
Oh, my Papa, to me he was so wonderful,
Deep in my heart I miss him so today.
Gone are the days when he could take me on his knee
And with a smile he’d change my tears to laughter.

Thanks for the Bach, Jace. There’s nothing like a dose of 18th Century diddle diddle to soothe the troubled mind.
That’s a 4 Hankie song from the early ’50s. sob
The late ’50s produced a song that called for an entire box of kleenex : Teen Angel. But that didn’t add to Fathers Day.
Happy Fathers Day to all you fathers (and also to all of you who are related to fathers, past or present)
Patd, LP liked the sentiment. Hopefully we won’t face that for many years yet.
For those fathers who are no longer considered part of the family, usually gay or transgender but can be any reason, here is your Happy Father’s Day greeting.

This is really cold, but maybe you remember it from the time you were in the military putting your ass on the line for others and receiving criticism for doing it:
“Fuck them if they can’t take a joke.”
Ohlfahrt out
I have Red Buttons on an old, 78 signing, “Oh, My Papa.” I think the flip side is “Oh, My Mother-In-Law,”…or, maybe that’s on another one.

Indians leading Twins 3-0 at end of the 6th. Cleveland also leads the 4-game series 3-0 and are leading the Central Division by a game over Minneapolis.
sturge, “oh mein papa” is not so bad if you’re enjoying the 2nd pitcher of beer midst some jolly folk singing along at the top of your lungs in some picturesquely quaint biergarten… heck, even “100 bottles of beer on the wall” is palatable in that circumstance.
Flatus, Believeland.
What a lovely fathers’ day. Easy morning, lunch on the deck – grilled chicken and corn, slaw w/ avocado, peach cobbler w/ whipped cream, couple Sam Adams and a delightful nap. Put a few of LP’s old guitars on eBay, and maybe another nap. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable day so far.
Pogo, check this stat, after 7 innings Indians are now leading 4-0, but have left 18 runners on base. Wonder what the record is?
ahh, icing on the cupcake
PARIS (AP) — Voters gave President Emmanuel Macron’s fledgling party a solid victory in parliamentary elections Sunday, handing the upstart centrist a strong mandate to overhaul the country’s labor laws, among the most sensitive issues for the French.
Polling agency projections suggested Macron’s Republic on the Move! Party could take 355 to 425 seats in the 577-seat National Assembly, the powerful lower house. That’s far more than the 289 seats needed for an absolute majority to carry out his program.
The president “has all the power,” said Jean-Christophe Cambadelis, who resigned from his post as head of the Socialist Party, which dominated the outgoing Assembly but was flattened by the unpopularity of former President Francois Holland.

nytimes via msn:Russia Renewed Unused Trump Trademarks in 2016
Amid a broadening investigation of Russian contacts with his associates and his own role in trying to stop it, President Trump fired off another angry tweet this past week repeating his assertion that he has no business interests in Russia.
But while no Trump Tower graces the Moscow skyline, the Russian authorities recently made sure that another piece of valuable property — the intellectual kind — bearing the same name remained safely in Mr. Trump’s portfolio.
Last year, while hacking Democrats’ emails and working to undermine the American presidential election, the Russian government also granted extensions to six trademarks for Mr. Trump that had been set to expire. The Trump trademarks, originally obtained between 1996 and 2007 for hotels and branding deals that never materialized, each had terms that were coming to an end in 2016.
Despite their inactivity, the Trump Organization sought extensions for the trademarks from Rospatent, the Russian government agency in charge of intellectual property. In a series of approvals starting in April 2016 and ending in December, Rospatent granted new 10-year terms for the trademarks, the agency’s records show.
Four of the approvals were officially registered on Nov. 8 — Election Day in the United States.
Truth be known, if I were playing a joint and some galoot wanted to hear oh my papa, I’d be honking on that thing as if I had written it…..I’d make UP verses, Jim…….
I might slip into a minor key every now and then, but that’s understandable, innit?

My main Pandora channel/station/whatever is Johann Sebastian Bach. Followed by the Beach Boys, then the Loving Spoonful, Brandi Carlisle, Caro Emerald , D’Oyly Carte, Johnny Cash, Nat King Cole, Tommy Dorsey, Hank Williams and a bit of the Drifters.
Went to see Wonder Woman. Previews before the movie indicate that the earth will be threatened with extinction at least four times before the end of the year. I plan to miss all of these films either due to distaste or because one of them accurately predicted events.
I always thought of Trump as more of a warlock.
BB – Have you heard Dolly Parton cover Brandi Carlisle’s, “The Story”? It’s amazing.
Flatus, don’t know what the record is, but it would be limited to 27.
Finished the culinary day by grilling bison burgers – which was followed by thunderstorms. What a lovely day.
Be careful about your bragging, Flatus. Pride goeth before a fall or an autumn.
