OBITUARY: TIM CURRY, AGE 80

 If you need a bigger clue as to how big Dolly's death was - she completely push Tim Curry off the news cycle .... he also passed on 2026Aug25

Wow - if you don't know who he was, you are either really young or totally out of touch ....

In 1975, he starred in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. he played Dr. Frankfurter, the Transvestite ... and while he wasn't the first man to dress as a woman, he is likely one of the most famous.  I was (am) as straight lace as they come, and even I knew who hee was in high school.

If you are younger than that, you might remember him from Home Alone 2, where he played the Consierge who tries to catch the kid in the room alone. (yeah, I know I spelled that wrong)

He lent his voice to a LOT of cartoons/animated movies as well .... including Star Wars stuff 

And he even appeared in Cranford on Masterpiece Theater/PBS

In 2012 he had a major stroke which put him in a wheelchair - but it did not effect his speech so he was still able to work.

We will miss you Tim ... I remember you mostly from The Molly Dodd show, where you played her ex-husband who moves in the hotel she runs.

He never married, never had children - but no explanation as to why ... I always thought he was gay/homosexual, but I have no real idea.Nor should it matter.

UPDATED OBITUARY: DOLLY PARTON, AGE 80 ....

So, I've learned a bit more .... Dolly Parton died from CANCER .... but there hasn't been any type of cancer given - yet.  We do know she suffered from stomach/bladder issue these last few years .... likely it was one of those issues.

She never had children - I thought I had heard at one time it was because she had a bad abortion, but checking out her IMDb.com page, I find it is listed as being from an allergic reaction to early birth control pills .... interesting.

OBITUARY: DOLLY PARTON, DEAD AGE 80

OMG 0 so I was listening to the Garage Logic to day when they - the guys of GL - popped on with the news that Dolly Parton had died.

Now they had said she died earlier this year, so I was kind of skeptical ... so I hit FB ... well, I have old, and I mean old technology, so it took a bit to find it = posted from out local station, bu just the one news station ....

kind of surprising since she is so well known.

But - I just saw it on The Five on FNC ... so sad.

They began talking about little girls named JOLENE after her song .... and I thought - wow, how many kids have been called Joleene (first, middle, nicknamed) ?

Y'all -- Jolene was a hooker!!!

Plain and simple - she even said so

So all you out there calld Jolene - you better think of changing your name.

But I got me thinking - what's the FIRST SONG you think of when you thought of when you heard Dolly had passed away?

I'm going to guess most people thought of JOLENE or 9 TO 5 .... or even HE'S ALIVE for some ....

I thought of this: 

Goodbye Dolly 0 you will live on for a few more decades then you will be like Hank Williams, Pats Cline, and Loretta Lynn .... just music in the wind.

We will miss you though - you had a great talent, and an even better sense of humor.

SOLAR ECLIPSE: AUGUST 123, 2026

 So, I missed when the eclipse happened this morning/afternoon .... I'm in Western WI so I'm not really sure .... but we are so far on the prenumbra (we would only see like a sliver here) that I was going to have to watch it onYouTub any how.

So I found this video from  CNN - they seem to have some pretty good carmera work, evren if most of their broadcasters are .... less than functional.

but you seel me .... what do you see at 1:25:00??  

 This drove me nuts ....

It doesn't make SENSE to me ...

Why are there flashes .... ON THE MOON??

AND ... for that matter .... on the DARK SIDE of the moon????

I'm telling you ....

There's something strange going on.

STUPIDEST THING i'VE HEARD (so far) TODAY ....

 Oh, and look it's only 10:30am .... on a Sunday, too.

So I'm watching Fox News Sunday (FOX-9, local station) and they had on a gal from the DSA - Deemocratic Socialists Association (not sure about the A part) and she is going through all the talking points of the "party" .... abolishing police, no border control, to ICE, etc.

Theen they got to the Senate .... here's the stupid part - and I have to wonder about today's school system, honestly - she said they want to get rid of the senate because it traces it's roots back to the House of Lords in England .... um .... NO it does not.

We were trying to distance ourselves from England, idiot - why the heck would be pull in something we had issues with in the first place?!

The Senate, with 2 people from each state, gave EQUAL POWER to each state .... big or small, rich or poor, farmers or industrialists ... didn't matter

A vote from the senator from Rhode Island held just as much weight as a vote from the North Carolinian senator!!

The issue with "power" actually leys in the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ... there the number of members each state has is based on population of the state .... so while Minnesota has 8 representatives, California has over 30 representatives ....

That is less fair ... but for some reason this is acceptable to the DSA ... And here's where we begin to see the issues with Socialism, really.

They only want "equality" for as long as they are more equal than you.

She went on to try to explain who should be in jail - and to her jail is not about punishment, it's about SAFETY .... 

Raise you hand if the hairs just stood up on the back of your neck!!

PLEASE PEOPLE - think this through .... don't vote DSA

GET IT STRAIGHT PLEASE ...

This morning I turnd into Good Morning America (ABC) and got an update on the shooting of a man in Madison, WI ....

You'll notice that I did not mention his age ... or his race ... they are at this point insignificant ... until we know more, they are not necessary to mention ....

Now if only ABC news had receieved the memo!

First thing out of the reporters mouth was the race of the dead man - however all he said about the officers involved were their JOBS .... apparently, cops don't have a race these days ....

I'm sorry, but if the ethnicity of one is important, then the ethnicity of ALL should be equally important.

But ... that must just be me, I guess.

Any how -- as it turns out Madison police, for some rason, do not wear body cameras ... wait - how did this happen?  I thought all police were supposed to wear them??

I'm going to guess that it's an EXPENSE thing - and the city can't afford it .... even though Madison is a huge college town, it's got students from all over ... you'd think they'd have opted into the program but I guess not.

Story is....

Over the weekend, the police were called because a man was trying to open car doors without any keys .... and the police found him, tried to stop him, but supposeably he FLED ON A BICYCLE .... and they LOST HIM for about 1/2 hour.

Well, bikes are kind of slippery - they get to places police cars can't ... like stairs, skinny alleys, etc. etc.

well, they found him again 1/2 hr later and attempted to arrest the guy ... only this time (at least according to ABC News) he had a "fixed blade" weapon.

To me, we're looking at either a kitchen knife, or an ax, whatver - just not a pocket knife ....

And they tazed him - that's a lot of eletricity going through his body ... but the tazer didn't work!!!

Okay - now I'm thinkiiing, the guy has to be on something - it's pretty hot out, so I doubt he's got a down jacket on - THEN A VIDEO BEGINS ....

Yup, it took that long for a video to start ...

A small (4-6 officers) group of officers try to take him down .... the reporter said he was "on the ground on his side" - I didn't see that, I saw him sitting on his butt, on the ground, one arm in the air ... and then you can hear 3 shots ring out.

Last night, the Madison police  tried to give a news conference about what happened, when a man took over he mic/conference and wouldn't allow them to speak.

Ok -- I can see the guy being upset, but why not WAIT for them to say something before you take over?

Guys - If we don't get this under control, people like Manson, Hitler, and Stalin are going to win ...

Everyone - step back ....

Everyone - take a breath

Everyone - just LISTEN to the police first.

But most importantly ....

Everyone - look BEYOND the color of somone's skin ... right now, all we can say is that even if this guy had been white, the tragedy would still be the same.

HERE'S WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT ....HONESTLY

 Okay, so they say there has been 3-4 US service personale killed overseas - 3 in Jordan ( they found bits of one amongst the rubble) and the other up north tryng to defuse an Iranian drone.

Very sad.  Very sad. God Bless them and the Peace to their famililies. 

But you know what? THERE'S GOING TO BR MORE!

It's a WAR, not a bank robbery, for Christ's Sake!

Get off your high horses -- this is not a "quagmire" as I've heard some democrats say this weekend .... we've been there a whole 6 months and most of that's been in negotiations hh.... everyone take a breathe.  everyone calm down ... and everyone just think this through ....

We, well the government, has finally figured out that no matter what Peace Treaty they have with the PM of Iran, chances are very great that they will ignore the Treaty anyways .... because no one is taking anyone in the center of the country seriously.

The Iranians are even going to far as to bomb their firends in order to get them to fight .... what the Hey????

And if you don't recognize it ..... these are Gestapo Tactics ... This was how they had their own people working for them - and this is why we can never let it happen again.

You thought Oct. 7th was horid - now imagine it EVERYDAY ... they force young men to join their army, they force them to believe in Alla (no other name, just that one), they forc so much on the people, that they are AFRAID to speak against them ....

If they do, they get shot in the streets.  They watch their families starve, they watch their sisters, women, children get tortured and killed - not that they are worth all that much over there.  All a femaile is worth is the Sons she can have, and the food she can cook.

But - even with all this going on .... STILL we are voting for the DSA over here ... the Socialist wing of the Democratic party.

They aren't looking at the Big Picture - they have Tunnel Vision - they only see what they want to see and ignore all the rest.

So with a TOTAL death count at 16 right now (although there may be more which I haven't heard of yet) they will be SCREAMING for us to get out.

Only thing is - this is NOT the time to do that.

They are hiding something and we need to find out what it is?

And I'm pretty sure its linked to the Nuke program or the Oil shipments .... or their links to both russia and china ...

We can NOT pull out now .... we SHOULDN'T pull out now. 

EXCUSE MED? WHAT WAS THAT?

First, let me tell you - I have just gotten on a bp med - and my eyes are pretty screwed up today, so tis is basically being typed by touch ....

So - if I goof up, please forgive me .... but on the bright side, my bp is down into the 150s so .... cool, right?

As some of you may know, I love history .... and I love watching documentaries .... such as American Experience on PBS .... well, I've been watching the one they have on JFK ....

They labeled it as the 50th anniversar of his assassination, but its really part 2 of the regular JFK one they have.

But the ting that struvk me ... the reason for this post actually .... is that JFK and Trump have a log in common ....

both were rich

both loved the ladies, and their wives put up with it.

and - and this part shocked me - JFK was a ORANGE MAN TOO!!!

When JFK is getting off the plane in TX, a reporter made a remark of "I can see his tan from here!"

Yeah - youYyou know haw badly Trup would have been grilled over something like this???

I hae a feeling I goofed up that bit completely - I don't think I untypd things correctly .... hmm

Oh wll - that's all I wanted to say.

Just remember - JFK and DJT are quite similar.
