Tucker Carlson had Zac Petkanas on his show. Petkanas called Trump a “monster” for declining to spend tax dollars providing local schools with information that is available on the internet. He also called Biology a “right wing pseudo science.”
When mankind was a new thing, when Ugg first sold Mugg a sharp rock to cut his mastodon steak with, people with goods or services to sell or trade, customers had to be aware of their existence. As time progressed and things changed, advertising had to keep up with demand.
With the advent of television, a whole new culture of advertising was born. Peoples’ attention span never was very long and by today’s standards, you have about 5 seconds to get potential buyers’ attention before they change the channel. Ad placement is so crucial that companies pay millions of dollars for a 30 second spot on Super bowl Sunday, the most-watched sporting event of the year.
Companies sometimes pay a fee to use a familiar piece of music or a popular song. One of the most famous is the William Tell Overture. One commercial I remember particularly well involved Jeno’s pizza rolls and Lark cigarettes, which they don’t even make anymore. I remember it because of the cameo by Clayton Moore and Jay Silverheels.
[CtH: I LOVED that pizza roll commercial! It still makes me laugh, even just to think about it.]
The DNC, the party with nothing to offer but hate, bitterness, and empty platitudes, is due to unveil a new slogan Monday. Further proof, as if it were needed, that no one there has a clue.
Democrats Set to Unveil New Slogan Monday
The Democrats are working on a re-brand following their near-spectacular collapse from the days when they controlled the entirety of the legislative and executive branches, and are set to officially unveil a new slogan for the 2018 elections: “A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages.”
But golly, if this is the best they can come up with, they’re likely to get more people to start inexplicably craving pizza than actually voting for their candidates.
Democrat leaders have been working on a new agenda for many months because they lost in 2016 and because of their continuous losses the last six years and after all their hard work. Dana Milbank of the Washington Post – and, I am sure, most reporters – is very proud of the Democrats’ amazing product.
Titled “A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages,” it is expected to have many Democratic staples – tax increases on the rich, affordable college, infrastructure spending, higher wages, job training, paid family leave and the like – and a few new ones.
Conservatives can’t resist pitching ideas after Dem’s ‘cheesy’ 2018 slogan is mercilessly mocked. How about…
The Democrats have adopted a cheesy new slogan which they hope will help them defeat the Republicans at the 2018 midterm elections.
Unfortunately, the Dems’ “new” slogan, “A Better Deal: Better Skills, Better Jobs, Better Wages,” is a thinly-veiled rip-off of the marketing slogan used by the Papa John‘s pizza chain. Papa John’s snappy slogan is “Better Ingredients. Better Pizza.”

Sorry for disappearing and big Thank Yous and KUDOS to Pete for keeping all y’all amused and informed. I am proud and relieved to announce that my computer files are FULLY BACKED UP through 2015. Phew.
It’s boring work, which is why I’ve put it off so long. But with my new puter arriving soon, it seemed the ideal time to get a round tuit! And while I was waiting on downloads, I got the kitchen all cleaned up … it needed it badly :oP … and made progress on a new dress … also needed badly.
Today, dh moved his office A/C to my office cuz I was melting. He’s going to get a new one when he gets back from this weekend’s jaunt to his family home to celebrate mass for the repose of his dad’s soul. (I can’t have new-new things in my part of the house.)
While he’s away, I plan to use the alone time to get caught up on-line and maybe, if my brain is up to it, dig into organizing the rest of the mess on my current computer. In the meantime, here are four flicks I’ve seen recently that I think are worth your time.
Given the manner in which the special counsel, Robert Mueller, is expanding his hyper partisan witch hunt into all things Trump it would be no surprise to me if, at some point, the president fires him. He is well within the scope of his executive authority, but the hue and cry from the left would be deafening. I just can’t see Trump allowing this carnival of pain to continue much longer.
Loose Lips Sink Ships: Mueller Probe Team Starts Leaking Special Counsel Investigation Details to Press The team is led by former FBI Director Robert Mueller, and four of the six attorneys on the team donated to the Democratic National Committee or Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, according to Axios.
Trump and Republican lawmakers have questioned the impartiality of Mueller and the probe, which was created after former FBI Director James Comey leaked a memo to the media for the purpose of prompting a special counsel. http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2017/07/20/loose-lips-sink-ships-mueller-probe-team-starts-leaking-special-counsel-investigation-details-press/
Mueller Witch Hunt Expands – Manafort Being Investigated For Possible Money Laundering
The out of control Special Counsel Robert Mueller is now looking into possible money laundering by President Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort as part of his ‘Russia’ investigation according to a Wall Street Journal report. The Senate Judiciary Committee announced in a press release Wednesday afternoon that Donald Trump, Jr. Paul Manafort and Glenn Simpson of Fusion GPS have been “invited” to appear at a hearing to be held next Wednesday.
President of Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton says the Mueller probe is out of control, conflicted and unconstitutional and should be shut down

Donny Douchebag: Make no mistake, Trump will fire Robert Mueller

Fitton also said, “Sessions should un-recuse himself and get rid of Mueller.”
Fired FBI Director, Comey admitted to leaking memos to the press to prompt a special counsel, so why is this investigation still going? Mueller has to go!
