Posted on October 2, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Realpolitik Newspeak Over time, one wonders how original concepts get changed to more ‘pleasant’ sounding words. Although [Frank Luntz] would claim otherwise, he’s a spin doctor, a smear professional, and a master at misrepresenting policies to sway public opinion. He … Continue reading →

The Usage of “Normalcy” Instead of “Normality” We thought that the word ‘normalcy’ was uniquely American. I heard an Australian use the term today. Here’s a discussion from english.stackexchange.com And I agree. My mother learned me real good.

The Unvarnished “Truth” from the Early 1960’s

Posted on September 28, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Unfrosted (2024) I guess the age of nostalgia is officially 60 years old. This film is a running gag, equating the creation of Pop Tarts to the race for the Moon. Because it’s essentially a farce, don’t be surprised when … Continue reading →

On This Day in 1959

Posted on September 12, 2024 by cdsmiller17

Bonanza Premieres (September 12, 1959) For the first two years, I never watched Bonanza on a consistent basis. Why? Because it aired at 7:30 pm on a Saturday night, and as any Canadian knows, that’s Hockey Night in Canada. But, … Continue reading →
