Author James Piereson discusses his 2007 book, Camelot and the Cultural Revolution: How the Assassination of John F. Kennedy Shattered American Liberalism with the Hoover Institute’s Peter Robinson. A synopsis of the book’s thesis can be found in the brilliant essay that preceded it at Commentary.

Man, a whole bunch of stuff happened yesterday… and would you believe, I missed it? Well, I forgot to post the video! 😉 😛
Here’s what all happened:
Highlights of this day in history: Allies mark VJ-Day as World War II effectively ends; Woodstock begins; France’s Napoleon Bonaparte born; India gains independence; Blast hits Omagh, N. Ireland; ‘The Wizard of Oz’ premieres in Hollywood.
Personally, I think this idea is not too bright. Mainly because it is encouraging to submit their e-mails to the United States Government. Which, quite frankly, I am not interested in doing. But it’s a noble idea; I guess.
The very funny thing is, that Pajamas Media is Jewish owned and operated and, you guessed it, is very “Neo-Conservative” it’s foreign policy. We traditional Conservatives know, that most Wilsonian Republicans and Conservative are kind of down with idea of Big Government; Just ask George W. Bush, so, submitting their e-mail addresses just sort of confirms that.
Anyhow, here’s the funny video:
The Address, for the spambots is flag@whitehouse.gov
Again, that address is flag@whitehouse.gov

I like what he said at the end, especially seeing what happened today.
Here’s a couple of videos in memory of the passing of the Guitar Legend Les Paul.
Man, If I make it that long, I hope like hell I get around like he did.
I am proud to say that I personally own one of his signature Guitars built in the 1970’s. It needs repairs. But, I love the thing. I could never sell it.
Angus Hobdell is the Dale Earnhardt of shooting! In this episode he visits Brandy and Andy and races against machine guns to shoot a 4×4 in half. He also explains what it takes to be a good shot

This anything like a woman wanting a man to have a “Clunk in the junk?” 😉 😛 😀
Anyhow, I do not know what is more funnier; the funny mad-made sound effects or the dude’s mustache half falling off.
The Video: (H/T to Viral Video on Twitter)
This is from the CBS TV show from the 1950’s; The”Edsel Show”.
Remember these guys?
This from Norman Granz “Jazz at the Philharmonic” Poplar Town Hall, UK Weds 30th November 1966 – BBC TV
These are “Woman, You Must Be Crazy” and “Goin’ To Chicago Blues”
To be quite honest. I’ve never really “gotten” Jazz music. Some of it is nice and some of it is, well; Abstract.
Anyhow, I hope some of you enjoy it.
This is from 1965. John Coltrane Playing “Naima”
Some of you might have noticed the very funny typo in the title of the original posting. Writing like I’ve been in the damn pub too long! LOL!
The Video:
A video has surfaced on YouTube of Harvard professor Henry Louis Gates Jr. delivering a church speech in which he uses the N-word, rails against “racist historically white institutions in America” and accuses Newt Gingrich of attempting to block blacks from entering the middle class.
Gates became a lightning rod of racial controversy when President Obama defended the professor handcuffed in his home last week by police in Cambridge, Mass.
“We are trying to end what we call the one n-gger syndrome – you know, this place ain’t big enough for more than one of us,” said Gates in the video, which was filmed in 1999 in the All Souls Church in Washington, D.C.
via WorldNetDaily: Shock video: Professor Gates goes on N-word rant.
Very interesting. “Racism for me, but not for thee.”
Typical, So very typical for African-Americans and for Liberals. Notice how he goes off on Clarence Thomas?
Update: HotAirPundit has more on the Story:
“Without affirmative action we would have never been able to integrate racist historically white institutions in American society”
“I taught at Duke for one long painful year, I don’t even like the airplane to flyover North Carolina…Because of racism I never would have been allowed to compete with white boys and white girls”
Contract with America and Newt Gingrich “set up barriers so no more of you all could get in here”
Gates Attacks:
White racist institutions
White racism
Duke (majority white college)
North Carolina
Clarence Thomas
Newt Gingrich
Contract with America
Uses the N-Word…So much for Dr. Kings vision of a colorblind society
I doubt if most people after watching this would want to go have a beer with him…
This is one of Obama friends. Like Mr. Pundit said here, this guy and Jeremiah Wright most likely were friends. Lord knows, they think much alike. I wonder if President Obama will throw Mr. Gates under the bus too?
This is from 1966….
This is ‘Round Midnight…:
This comes from my buddy Ed over at HotAir, the tune that Greg Morton is singing this to is Neil Diamond’s “Forever in Blue Jeans.” and Man is it ever funny:

I actually like Chicago’s version of this better. But here is the original:
Seen over at Naptunus Lex:
You just have to know that “smarted” (HillyBilly word for hurt like hades…) 😯 😮 :beatup:
Yeah, I know what you are thinking. “You’re a Conservative and YOU like Santana?!?!?” Of course. I grew up in a Mexican-American hybrid Assemblies of God Church in Southwest Detroit. The culture did rub off me, a little. Plus, I am a Guitar player. I did Carlo’s Playing; his politics, not so much. But I’ve always enjoyed this tune.
Some friends of mine:
A bit of palate cleanser….. 😀 :rotfl: :laugh:
