Ridley’s Believe It Or Not For March 6,
2019 After millions of must have cheered and expressed gratitude that HRC had
ruled out another run to make a complete fool of herself, she has reversed
course and stated she has not ruled out a run (her reversal must be do to
thoughts of her sequel What Happened
II?); AOC potentially in deep trouble for FEC violations and worse for her
referral to the DOJ, a complete loss of her image of a champion of the working
class has denied the allegations and revealed that she was not invited to Sanders’
candidacy roll out (she said needed the time to do things for herself but maybe
reading between the lines, Sanders is astute enough to know that she is
becoming toxic to Independents and moderate Democrats); Progressives have
flocked to the defense of Ilhan Omar and delayed a vote on a resolution
condemning Antisemitism but not naming Omar who like Republican Steven King
should be stripped of all Committee assignments; the proposed director of the Bond 25 movie
has left the project because the script called for Bond to be killed in order
to introduce a new James Bond; Adam Dershowitz not a conservative bastion is warning
Congress that Nadler and Schiff may be exceeding their rightful duty to
oversight (Shiftless Schiff is on a flank speed drift to McCarthyism and should
be roundly condemned); in Chicago through March 3, 2019 283 have been shot of
whom only 46 have died which means the winter weather has not done wonders for
aiming.
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s
holidays and observances, a music link to Teresa Brewer, factoids of
interest for this day in history, the fact you reject the osophy of
socialism and a relevant quote from President Franklin Roosevelt on the bank
holiday, secure in the knowledge that if you want to find a gift
for any memorable events like college graduations, birthdays, weddings,
or anniversaries, you know that the Alaskanpoet can provide you with a
unique customized poem at a great price tailored to the event and the
recipient. You need only contact me for details.
1. The Day of The Dude--celebrating
Dudeism, an attempt to create a modern day Chinese Taoism inspired by the
protagonist the Dude created by the movie The
Big Labowski.
2. Ash Wednesday—celebrating the first day of Lent hopefully free of the
hangovers brought upon by an over zealous celebration of Mardi Gras the night
before.
3. 1953 Number One Song—the number one song on this day in
1953 on a run of 5 weeks in that position was “Till I Waltz Again With You” by Teresa
Brewer. Here is a recording of the song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZkTC0YmfVY
This prolific and talented singer whose career spanned 50 years died at age 76
in 2007.
4. Word of the Day—today’s word of the day as we move from words beginning
with “n” to words beginning with “o” is “osophy” which means a belief or
doctrine which in the case of socialism it is a failed big time osophy.
5. How to Portray a Living Person—celebrating the birth on this day of noted actress Connie
Britton best known for Friday Night
Lights but who also turned a few critic heads with her portrayal of Faye
Resnick a best friend of Nicole Simpson in the serial An American Crime Story: People v. O.J. Simpson.
On this day
in:
a. 1933 as the Great Depression gains
momentum and banks are experiencing a run on deposits, declares a bank holiday
closing all banks and freezing all financial transactions which lasted until
March 13 for banks and March 15 for the stock markets.
b. 1964 Elijah Muhammad of the
Nation of Islam gave Cassius Clay when he converted to Islam the name Muhammad
Ali.
c. 1967 Stalin’s only daughter
Svetlana Alliluyeva defected to the United States although she ultimately
returned to the Soviet Union in 1984 to reclaim her Soviet citizenship.
d. 1970 in a don’t play with bombs
moment, a safe house in Greenwich Village, New York occupied by the Weather
Underground exploded killing three people.
e.
1983 the United States Football League commenced playing football which
lasted for three years in the spring and summer before ending operations.
Reflections on FDR’s bank holiday: “I can assure you that it
is safer to keep your money in a reopened bank than under the mattress.”–
President Franklin Roosevelt in his first Fireside Chat, March 12, 1933
