I am vindicated!
I was always told by my Chef and others who are pushing 60, that this song was Credence Clearwater Revival. I never looked it up, because I always forget 90% of what I meant to look up after work. “That’s not Fogerty’s voice, man! Unless Credence had a different lead singer back in the day, this ain’t Credence!”, followed by “Shush, young’un!”

Wikipedia:
“Long Cool Woman (in a Black Dress)”) is a song written by Allan Clarke, Roger Cook, and Roger Greenaway and performed by the British rock group The Hollies. Originally appearing on the album Distant Light, it was released as a single in April 1972 (on Parlophone in the United Kingdom), selling 1.5 million copies in the United States and two million worldwide. It reached No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 1972. Billboard ranked it as the No. 24 song for 1972.

Looks like the predictions were right, Mayor Abu-Mussab al-Landrieu is going to be featured on several national news programs where proned talking heads will ask him about his enlightened dicktatorial destruction of the city’s Civil War memorials. .exoect a coup,e of BGI front companies to give him rewards for his continued Democratic paternalistic shepherding of the city’s oppressed black population.
Don’t expect anyone to ask him why a long line of black mayors prior to him didn’t remove them or why the city’s black population still struggles with the same financial, educational, illiteracy, violent crime and other problems they had when he entered office. Sheesh, you’d think that with the huge tax breaks his family’s downtown commercial properties get he’d find a way to ease the plight of his aggrieved flock. Well, he did gets dem statues outta de way.

Seen on Facebook:
–This is why we need the electoral college. Our Founders were very wise.
1. There are 3,141 counties in the United States;
2. Trump won 3,084 of them;
3. Clinton won 57;
4. There are 62 counties in New York State;
5. Trump won 46 of them.
6. Clinton won 16;
7. Clinton won the popular vote by approx. 1.5 million votes;
8. In the 5 counties that encompass NYC, (Bronx, Brooklyn, Manhattan, Richmond & Queens) Clinton received well over 2 million more votes than Trump. (Clinton only won 4 of these counties;
Trump won Richmond);
9 Therefore these 5 counties alone, more than accounted for Clinton winning the popular vote of the entire country;
10. These 5 counties comprise 319 square miles;
11. The United States is comprised of 3,797,000 square miles;
12. When you have a country that encompasses almost 4 million square miles of territory, it would be ludicrous to even suggest that the vote of those who inhabit a mere 319 square miles should dictate the outcome of a national election;
13. Large, densely populated Democrat cities (NYC, Chicago, LA, etc) don’t and shouldn’t speak for the rest of our country.

According to factcheck.org, some of these figures are incorrect. However, they are still impressive. Partial quote:
“The Associated Press debunked the claim that Clinton only won 57 counties across the country in an article published Dec. 6.
“The Associated Press finds that Clinton won 487 counties nationwide, compared with 2,626 for President-elect Donald Trump,” the article says.
The news agency said that it “considers parishes in Louisiana as counties in election tallies” and that “Virginia’s count includes 95 counties and 38 independent cities.”
The AP’s totals for Clinton and Trump are very close to what PolitiFact.com reported. The nonpartisan fact-checking website found that Clinton and Trump won 489 and 2,623 counties, respectively, based on preliminary county results from David Leip’s “Atlas of U.S. Presidential Elections.”
As for that last claim in the email about New York, the numbers are largely correct. There are 62 counties in the state, and, as the email claimed, Trump won 46 of them and Clinton won 16. Clinton’s lead in the five counties that make up New York City is exaggerated, though. She received about 1.5 million more votes than Trump in those five counties, not the “well over 2 million” claimed in the email.”

And then consider that the entire state of Alaska, which has approximately 665,000 sq. miles, is organized into 19 boroughs (instead of counties), some of which are city-boroughs and are comprised of only the metropolitan areas of the larger cities (Anchorage, Fairbanks, Juneau). By comparison, Iowa has 56,000 sq. miles and 99 counties. But then, allowing for population density, they are about the same. 30,000 people/county in Iowa; 31,000 people/borough in Alaska.
My borough, the Kenai Peninsula, is the 4th largest borough in Alaska with over 16,000 sq. miles (slightly smaller than the state of West Virginia); it is larger than the 9 smallest states. It has a population of 55,000 people (fairly dense by overall Alaska standards of averaging 1 person per sq. mile).
Guess I should have started with “WARNING: rabbit hole!” Sometimes I get fascinated by details.

What we’ve been saying all along. Presidential elections are not races, they’re sales where the candidate’s sold to the most populous states regions of the most populous states. Trump went after those sreas tompeel votes away from Clinton but also directly went after those areas largely ignored by the Rat strategists.
Trump’s going to have to really pull some economic rabbits out of a hat because the Rats won’t make the same mistake twice. They are going to keep up a constant drumbeat of manufactured bad press and general attack and with Emir Obama now yossing Shiite into thevgame you can bet his hordes of Latino, black and Moslem criminals will be using every tactic in the book to effect 2018 and 2020. His promises that once the masses takevover the poor and oppressed can loot at will should draw supporters.

Dear Chamber of Commerce. Your estimated ’90 degrees’ for a high today is as full of @&*# as a Thanksgiving turkey. My expensive weather station NOT situated at the airport where no one can validate it says ’96’ and we may still have a degree or two to go. Like we have tourists that check the guestimated projected temps.

Black ACLU lawyer is on TV explaining why police officers shouldn’t be covered by hate laws. Couldn’t be because a certain unnamed black president declared police as an open season target for thugs, revolutionaries and folks suffering with ethnic rage, could it?

Our Heavenly Father, Your children come to you tonight to ask for healing and peace throughout our country so that we may return to being One Nation Under God. Guide us to be leaders in Your Kingdom, spreading Your Love and Salvation to all. Forgive us our sins and deliver us from evil.
Lord, we ask for a blanket of protection over all our troops and law enforcement who serve to defend and protect us. Bless our representatives with the strength and wisdom they need to achieve the path You have chosen for us.
Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.
Thank you Father, for Your Love and the gift of Life.
In Jesus name, we pray. Amen

I’ll close out the night (for me) with another picture of Lake Superior. This one is an aurora corona and the Marquette Lighthouse. Apparently tonight is perfect conditions for the aurora.
