Really, blackface?

I decided to watch Do Not Adjust Your Set on Amazon Prime due to half the cast going on to Monty Python afterwards. The show had a regular musical segment featuring the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band and in one episode there they were, dressed like African natives in blackface singing about a monster. I was internally cringing and thinking "really? this shit is happening in the 60s?" The worst part though, is that several website are labeling the show as a children's program so it's "blackface for kids!!!"

A word of warning for any python fans that are looking for other shows starring the same cast members.

Jesus Christ Superstar Live on NBC is on Hulu

They normally don't keep these live concerts up very long so if you are curious on how it turned out you won't have more than a few months at most.

Ten months to the day....

I lost my wife on Oct 29th. Her dog died in my arms yesterday morning in my bedroom where I found her after I came home from work. I cranked up the air conditioner and left him on the bed while I dug a grave under the bedroom window and laid him to rest. The damn house is so large and empty and for the first time in over a decade there is no one relying on me or demanding my attention. Life sucks

I have to come clean, I didn't vote in November.

I came home on Saturday, October 29th to find my wife of 19 years lying dead on our bedroom floor. Every day since has been a struggle to keep functioning, let alone to care about the what will happen to this country in the long term. Frankly, my main purpose is to outlive my parents so they don't have to go through what happened to my MIL, who lost both her kids within a year of each other. After that, right now I don't care what happens.

In actuality it should be either Mrs. Clinton, Senator Clinton or the Honorable Hillary Clinton

There can only be one SoS at a time because it is a role held by a single person and not a rank that is bestowed upon several people at once. Since there are many Senators then that title can be kept after they leave office and once an honorable, always an honorable.

Once she's elected it will be President Hillary Clinton and the honorable Bill Clinton, even though he has held the office of the president in the past.
