But for those of us who were little boys when Godzilla movies, tin-friction cars, Erector Sets, Girders 'n Panels and Matchboxes ruled the day, Jonny Quest was the cartoon equivalent of an action, sci-fi and drama thriller all rolled into one.

Jonny Quest
There are some who will tell you this was merely a cartoon series. Yet more Hanna/Barbera crafted fodder for the masses.

Video: "Ghetto Bastards"
This video gets rolling when a black dude starts letting loose with the N-word again and again and again. Actually, his rant takes me back to Bill Cosby's pleas for sanity right before he was banished and never heard from again.
But near the end, we hear the truth of the matter from the host of the show---that Democrats and liberals are the racists who's textbook model should be copied by all other up-and-coming racists far and wide.

Wilkes-Barre 2001-2006
I was poking around in my Youtube account when I learned that this video, which last I knew was suspended due to some bogus copyright complaint, was back live and ready for public consumption again. And it's amassed 5,775 views!
Whether you agree with my reasons for creating it, this here slideshow of Wilkes-Barre is comprised mostly of pictures I took over a six year period--from 2001 to 2006. It provides more than a glimpse of where we are versus where we once were.
The run time comes in at a whopping 17:23, so iffin' you're interested, make some popcorn, grab a root beer and settle in.
Wilkes-Barre 2001-2006
By the way, I've been working on the sequel.

Global March to Jerusalem
Well, the sh*t hits the fan tomorrow morning.
The missile attacks are increasing in intensity. There have been a few cross-border skirmishes. The IDF is ready. And intelligence sources say Iran has flown thousands of (pick a word) in for the big march.

A spin through Hell
I've never been flooded, like so many of us that reside and those who have resided here in Flood Central--The Wyoming Valley.
With that stated, I'd take a 49-foot crest over this nightmare scenario...
Yikes!

Gort goes viral on WILK
Mr. Henny B. Gort--a lowlife blogger--went and broke this local story just this past Sunday: Kathleen Kane had 15 parking tickets dismissed
And then yesterday it went viral on both the morning and afternoon talk shows on Wilk:News/Facebook/Radio.
While the scoop was attributed to Mr. Gort by Sue Henry, the voluptuous morning talk jock, it was not attributed to it’s rightful source during the afternoon show hosted by The Great One.
Go figure.
I see that all of the kiddies out there in the vast electronic etherlands have hit the big time at last with this one…
The Weekender: Connecting the blogs
Bloggers, readers to gather at NEPA Blog Fest
I’ll betcha that one garners nary a mention during any afternoon on WILK.
I have suffered a lower back injury that makes me somewhat jealous of the multitudes of people addicted to prescription narcotics. As of this moment, I could partake of some oxi-whatever. And a 12-pack chaser.
But, as always, I limit myself to layer after layer of Icy/Hot, over-the-counter aspirin and the vibrating heat pad.
Oh joy.
As far as attending BlogFest is concerned, if I can stand up straight without wincing, I might be there.
I had me an interesting conversation with one of the zealots who wants our Wilkes-Barre City Council members tortured to death.
First of all, I do not vote for the same people over and over, evidenced by the fact that our council has had plenty of turnover and currently has no long-term players.
Secondly, I do not have a problem with their salaries being what they are, nor do I think multiplying that figure by five makes for a huge taxpayer outlay.
And thirdly, yes, acting like a loose cannon at a public meeting is not a way to effect meaningful change. There! I said it again.
While this is not a shot taken at any current member of council, I do have a serious, serious problem with council folk drawing pensions of any kind or any denomination.
With that said, droning on and on and on about these and other taxpayer-provided pensions--especially at public meetings--gets old as well as gets us nowhere.
By way of referendum, the size of city council was reduced. And the process by which we elect council members was drastically altered, also by way of referendum.
What I’m suggesting is…either do something about it, or shut the funk up already!
Banalities and redundancies should not be confused with efficiency or effectiveness.

Back to the drawing board?
Looks like we're headed for a 5-4 vote against Obamascare.
If the vote shakes down as expected, does Barry have to pay for the Scotch tape necessary to put the Constitution of the United States back together again?
