im pretty sure this is fake.  right?   he cant possibly want to do this unless he thinks he can throw everyone else under the bus, including his children, to save himself.

Pal began his film making career as an animator.   a great one.  some of those short films are the best stop action animation ever done.  but they cant be shown in this country.

heres a pretty good piece

it includes this quote

The shorts could be presented to the modern audience, I believe, with explanatory context, in a program hosted perhaps by someone like Whoopi Goldberg, who as a New Yorker, I'm certain, also grew up with these films.

the funny thing about that is they are shown to modern audiences every day.  in Canada.  this i only learned by visiting there for work twice.  both times my favorite thing about Canada was the 2 or 3 animation channels that show all the lost, to americans, classics like PUPPETOONS and the great uncut classics from Fleischer and Warner Bros.  

for me it was like seeing old friends i had not seen since childhood.  at a very critical time in my life one of the only tv channels we could get clearly showed nothing but classic movies and classic animation all day and all night.  including all the ones now banned by political correctness.  it made a serious impression.

anyway, short of going to Canada you should try to see some of these wonderful things.  

Former Alabama judge Roy Moore, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate, once said publicly that he did not take a "regular salary" from the small charity he founded to promote Christian values because he did not want to be a financial burden.

But privately, Moore had arranged to receive a salary of $180,000 a year for part-time work at the Foundation for Moral Law, internal charity documents show. He collected more than $1 million as president from 2007 to 2012, compensation that far surpassed what the group disclosed in its public tax filings most of those years.

I guess #9 at least is optional.

Trump, the first US President to speak at the hate group (according to the SPLC) Values Voters Summit, promised that we will be celebrating Christmas, once again.  We can't say Merry Christmas because it is politically incorrect; department stores say Happy New Year (maybe he meant happy holidays), but that is now over.  He did not outline his battle strategy, but maybe employees will be fired if they don't say Merry Christmas...even if it is New Year's Eve.

Trump did stumble over a few matters in his speech, such as calling the governor of the Virgin Islands, the president of the VI (Trump is president of the VI).  

But, then, Trump has been a little mixed up this week, being called a moron and all by a cabinet officer he appointed. Trump assembled some complicit morons in the Oval Office to sign an executive order to weaken the ACA, took his bows and enjoyed the applause and started to leave--  but he forgot one thing during the signing ceremony: to sign his executive order.

Kelly, after being introduced by Miss Huckabee, charmed the audience with the above pronouncement and assurances that, after talking with Trump, he does not think he will be fired today; nor is he so frustrated running the country that he will resign.  Not SO frustrated.

I've been to Kauai and Honolulu (two separate trips) just this week alone, and I'm going back to Honolulu tomorrow for a client's board meeting. And so of course, I've been out of touch and too tired by the time I get back home to pay much attention to the news.

Hopefully, this will slow down next month after I go to Bend, OR but right now, I'm racking up those Hawaiian Airlines frequent flier miles. The airline awards 500 per interisland flight segment, so I received 2,000 miles R/T from Hilo to Lihue, Kauai and back because I have to change planes in Honolulu -- even though the actual distance between the two towns is only 320 miles.

Many of the major roads are closed. US 101 isn't, although the fire crossed it and burned houses on the west side also.  I drove past neighborhoods where I had delivered pianos to big houses, not a light to be seen except a few vehicles moving in darkness. The stink of the fire was intense.

I couldn't see anything past the sides of the road, because there were no highway lights. We are not used to utter, black darkness in our urban areas. Exits were blocked. I noticed one sign for the exit to a major road had been removed entirely, and later saw on a map that the road ran through the heart of the fire. I had driven that road many times.
