Just shut up and do it, I don't pay you to disagree with me.

You hate CNN, were thinking of buying more Apple as a shareholder, and see this blatant rip-off associated with your product because they are a dying organization trying to grasp some relevancy in 2019, so you assault the Apple brand.

'I just made it up':
Florida Dem admits lying about treating Pulse shooting victims after going on the record as saying 'I personally removed 77 bullets from 32 people. It was like an assembly line'
Elizabeth McCarthy told the Florida Department of Health that she had fabricated claims that she was a cardiologist who had treated victims
'I lied. It is a false statement. I just made it up,' McCarthy said, according to an affidavit released Wednesday
The department charged her with violating state law under the unlicensed activity statutes
On Wednesday, she was served with a cease-and-desist order which would prohibit her from telling anyone else that she is a medical doctor

buwaya said...: We certainly aren't likely to watch the Grammy Awards.
But this years awards, it turns out, included something interesting.

Well, to me anyway.

So very belatedly - this is Angela Aguilar, Natalia Lafourcade and Aida Cuevas each singing a different take on "La Llorona", which is I guess topical because there is a movie out.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdWgysitPgU

All are professional pop singers in Mexico.
Aguilar is rather low-energy. poor young thing.
Lafourcade gets it. I find her mixed, in general. She has overdone the intimately breathy eating the mike thing way too often, but when she doesn't, she doesn't.
Cuevas is a veteran of "ranchera", that is, what we in the US may think of as trad Mexican music. And here she is wearing her trademark charro hat.

"La Llorona" is properly folk music and about as Mexican as anything gets.

There was a discussion the other day about what "real" Mexicans look like - well, I put it that these three ladies are fairly representative of the majority, somewhat filtered by showbiz of course. Though fairly attractive, none is a great beauty, none are ringers brought in for a telenovela, and they are all mestizas, with a visible degree of india.

Both Cuevas and Lafourcade have covered much of Agustin Lara. Which is worth a post. Maybe later. Mexican music (or the good stuff) is not what blasts out of cars in LA.; 7/20/19, 10:38 PM

Bruce Hayden said...: “$10 pitchers of Guinness at Nite Owl off Wads and Mississippi”

Never been there, but been by enough. Checked your profile just to make sure I had the right (city and) state. We have some apartments a couple miles north of there.

Several years ago, my kid texted me, from somewhere in Europe, whether I preferred a hat or a T short. I picked “hat”. At Christmas, I got a Guinness hat. They had popped up to Dublin from Spain for the weekend (London was twice as much). This was their Junior Semester Abroad. Their other trip out of Spain was to Italy, where they ended up walking almost entirely around a country in an hour or so, trying to find the way in. This last winter they were back in Dublin, this time for a conference, and I got a T shirt. Their significant other was more impressed with the Jamison facility.

Long way of saying, I love Guinness, esp their Stout, esp served on tap a bit warmer than you usually drink beer here. Though I expect that we will be drinking some from bottles this week, with family arriving tomorrow. If I were back in the area of Wads and Mississippi, I would be joining you.; 7/20/19, 11:02 PM

gadfly said...: Axios recently opined:
“America, as a whole, and swing states, in particular, are growing more diverse, more quickly. There is no way Republicans can change birth rates or curb this trend–and there’s not a single demographic megatrend that favors Republicans,” the report stated. In less than ten years, most under age 30 in the U.S. will be non-white. And 59 percent of Millennial voters are already registered Democrats.

And Commentary concludes:
The Republican Party’s demographic future is fraught. In that sense, it perfectly aligns with the behavior of our current president. But its demise is not inevitable. A Democratic Party that fails to resist the radicalism of its progressive wing could hand the Republicans an opportunity to attract diverse, moderate Democrats into the fold, provided Republicans are willing to make a vigorous commitment to diversify their party .
