Intelligent Channel: Alex Cherian- ‘U.S. Senator & Future Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy (1967)’


Source:Intelligent Channel- U.S. Senator Robert F. Kennedy (Democrat, New York) visiting San Francisco, California in 1967.

“Senator Robert F. Kennedy, future presidential candidate, visiting San Francisco (1967) – from THE EDUCATION ARCHIVE. Kennedy was on a 10-state, 15-city tour to evaluate President Lyndon Johnson’s ambitious War on Poverty campaign. San Francisco State’s archivist Alex Cherian provides a 2013 introduction. Copyright belongs to Young Broadcasting of San Francisco, Inc. Special appreciation to Pat Patton and KRON-TV for helping to make this material publicly accessible.” 


This video is the exact reason why I wish former U.S. Senator Paul Wellstone was still alive and had he lived I believe he not only would’ve been reelected to the Senate, but would’ve pushed what Senator Robert F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin L. King called the Poor People’s Campaign and tour from the late 1960s. But Senator Wellstone would’ve started this campaign the 21st Century once he returned to the U.S. Senate.

Not many people were talking about poverty in America back then at least not many public officials at the Federal level. And not many public people who were at, or near the height of Martin King were talking about.

Poverty and yes that it actually existed back then in a country that was then and now the richest country in the world and yet we have 1-5 or 1-4 then Americans living in poverty in Appalachia, the Delta in Mississippi, inner-city ghettos like in big cities like Detroit and Los Angeles, Baltimore and so-forth. That how can a country that’s as rich as ours have so many people who don’t have enough to live a good life.

Another thing that I respect about Senator Kennedy’s campaign was that it came right after the so-called War on Poverty was announced by President Lyndon Johnson. Because that so-called war really didn’t go far enough and I’m not talking about money.

What Senator Kennedy was looking at we're not only the what people in poverty go through and their living conditions, but also how to help these people move out of poverty and make a good life for themselves. Where the so-called War on Poverty was more about how to do we prevent these people from starving, going homeless, without clothes and healthcare and so-forth.

The War on Poverty, didn’t take the next step and building off of a system that prevents people from essentially dying. But how we do we empower them so they don’t have to live in poverty at all. Which I believe had Bobby Kennedy had lived, we would’ve seen those ideas come from him later on.

This is just one example of why RFK’s assassination was so tragic, because of the attention and the focus to these issues he would’ve brought. And why we need people with that type of power to focus people on these issues today since we are still dealing with the same issues that we were talking about as a country forty-five years ago. And be able to finally focus on how we actually solve these problems. Instead of just talking about them.

NBA TV: NBA 1988- Dallas Mavericks @ Seattle Sonics: 1st Quarter

Source:NBA-TV- The Dallas Mavericks at the Seattle Sonics, from 1988.

"February 15, 1988 Mavericks @ Sonics" 

From Sheba 021

Great matchup between Mark Aguirre of the Mavericks and Xavier McDaniel of the Sonics. The Mavericks were one of the teams that the Sonics upset in the 1987 Western Conference Playoffs, just to get to the Western Conference Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. So I guess you could say that the Mavericks were looking for revenge in this game. Even though regular season games don't have the same meaning as playoff games.

Baltimore Orioles Baseball: '1989 Baltimore Orioles: "Why Not?"'

Source:Baltimore Orioles Baseball- the Orioles against I believe the Anaheim Angels, in 1989.

"This music video is from the VHS documentary of the 1989 Baltimore Orioles.  

The 1988 Baltimore Orioles started the '88 season 0-21 and finished that year with a record of just 54 wins, and 108 losses.  So when the 1989 season began, no one gave the Orioles a chance to even compete.  But the young and hungry Orioles had something to prove, going 87-75 and finishing just two games out of first place in the American League East.  During that season, the term, "WHY NOT?", was coined by Oriole fans, and  it has lived with us since that magical season." 


The Orioles literally came out of nowhere in 1989 to be AL East contenders after having one of the worst teams of all time in 1988. Which is one of the reasons why they were so successful in 1989 because they surprised so many people. 

A lot of the Orioles success started in 1988, by calling up pitcher Bob Milacki and trading for power hitting catcher Mickey Tettleton. And in the offseason of 1988-89 by trading their best player in Eddie Murray to the Los Angeles Dodgers and getting 1B Randy Milligan and OF Mike Deveraux who both contributed to the Orioles success of 1989, as well as in 1992. 

The 1989 Orioles weren't really great anywhere except on defense, but they had three reliable starting pitchers they could count on in Jeff Ballard who only had one good year in his entire MLB career but that year was 1989. To go along with Bob Milacki and Dave Schmidt and Dave Johnson came up during that year and won some big games for them. And they had a solid bullpen that could hold leads with Greg Olson closing out games. And 2-3 hitters in their lineup they could rely on to hit big home runs and drive in runs. Cal Ripken, Mickey Tettleton and Craig Worthington, and Phil Bradley at the top of the lineup.

The 1989 Orioles were a lot of fun to watch and it made going back to Baltimore Memorial Stadium fun again because you knew that the Orioles had a good shot at winning again. And without 1989, the Orioles would've had a harder time getting Oriole Park at least when they did. And their financial situation in the 1990s would've looked at lot different having to play at Baltimore Memorial Stadium for perhaps another five years, with Baltimore still trying to land a pro football franchise. So 1989 was critical for the Orioles success.

James Pamela: 'The Doors- Soul Kitchen Live at Matrix- San Francisco 1967'

"The Doors Soul Kitchen Live at Matrix "San Francisco" 1967" 

From James Pamela

I haven't seen the full concert of Jim Morrison and The Doors in San Francisco, but I can give a good idea about how Oliver Stone felt about it based on his 1991 movie The Doors. With Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison and Morrison and The Doors, shows up at the San Francisco concert in a limo. 

Of course The Lizard King is rocking his skin-tight black leather jeans and he's wearing his black leather cowboy boots and his concho Indian belt, as well as his brown suede jacket. That is how Morrison tended to perform in the late 1960s and that was a big part of his signature outfit. Except that Morrison tended to wear a black leather suit jacket with his belt, leathers, and boots. But he did wear a suede jacket with the rest of that outfit on a regular basis as well. 

This is the best performance from Val Kilmer (as Jim Morrison) in the movie. The stage is full with San Francisco patrol cops thinking that fans of The Lizard King might try to jump on stage and if anything The Lizard King would invite them, (especially young women) as well as SF cops being there, because they were worried about Morrison doing something crazy as well. But even with that background Val Kilmer gives a great about ten-minute performance performing the song Run.

"Dr. James Fallon joins Crime Time to talk about the neuroscience that sets a psychopath's apart from other brains. He talks about the testing that is done to see the neurological patterns of serial killers, how those are distinguished from "normal" people, and what can be done with the...

From The Lip TV

Source: Psychodocs- Dr. James Fallon 
I would love to go in the mind of a serial murderer ( as I call them ) to see how can someone be either so sick or evil which is different that would drive them to take the lives of innocent people and in some cases enjoy murdering people. As a lay person here I would say that you would have to be a person who lacks a conscience to put it simply. Someone who simply doesn't give a damn about anyone other than perhaps them self who gets off on hurting people because they don't care and get pleasure from that. People like Ted Bundy who was a famous serial killer as well as rapist from the mid and late 1970s who enjoyed raping women to the point it was the only kind of sex that he enjoyed. And he enjoyed killing them as well.

Source: Skavlan- Dr. James Fallon 
So, when you have someone who perhaps doesn't fit in well in mainstream society for whatever reasons, who perhaps has a temper and low tolerance for negativity and criticism and has an out of the world view of them self that they don't believe they have any flaws and there also psychopathic, someone like a Charles Manson from the late 1960s and his Manson Family cult and his young soldiers who murdered the people he wanted them to murder, you have a very dangerous person who a normal person has no business being near, because their life can be in jeopardy from this person as a result.

Psychopaths and psychopathic killers, can seem normal on the outside and even have positive characteristics like intelligence, charm, physical attractiveness as well. Ted Bundy, from the 1970s was someone with all of these characteristics and they use these characteristics to bring them in so they can make their moves on theory victims and eventually murder them. Charlie Manson, who wasn't physically attractive. Very short and slightly built, but who was very smart even though he didn't have much of a formal education, but had a pretty good idea of how the real world worked and spoke to people in a way ( his followers ) that got those young people to not just follow him, but to do for him whatever he wanted. The Manson Family, could be responsible for up to a 100 murders or more in the Los Angeles area and we only know about 10-20 of them.

The serial killers ( or serial murderers, a term that I prefer ) that I mentioned are people who murdered in private life as private citizens and as horrible as a Ted Bundy, Charlie Manson, Richard Ramirez from the 1980s were, they're almost minor players compared with dictators who ran countries with their regimes around the world who've simply murdered people because they saw them as threats to their political power. People like Saddam Hussein, Joesph Stalin, Mao, and other dictators around the world. Serial murderers, aren't reserved just for people you hear about on crime reports or the local news, but for people in government who run countries and use their power to eliminate people they see as threats to their regime.

PBS: The Great Depression- The New Deal Response

Source:PBS- Americans living through The Great Depression, in the 1930s.
"PBS Presentation: The Great Depression"

From PBS

In 1933 when Franklin Roosevelt became President of The United States he inherited the Great Depression, which was basically an economy that was sinking and collapsing with basically no money anywhere, or no money being created. And anyone who had money at this point in the private sector was not spending, or investing the money. The Federal Government was literally the only game in town that it could spend and afford to borrow the rest to make up the difference of money.

America needed money to be invested in the country to get people working again and creating jobs so people had money to spend to generate economic growth, or at least create a floor for the Great Depression and buy time for the American economy to recover. Which is very similar, but not exactly how the Obama Administration and Congress responded to the Great Recession in 2009. We can argue about the effects of these proposals, but that’s how they were designed. And at least to a certain extent were effective in dealing with the Great Depression in a successful way.

The New Deal represented economic progressivism in the United States and the creation of the safety net. The New Deal and President Roosevelt wasn’t looking to end American capitalism, but to save it and create a system that could respond to people who fell through the cracks of it. And be able to spend money and invest in the economy when no one else had the resources in a very centralized and anti-federalist way putting a lot of responsibility with the Federal Government to respond to economic crisis’ like this.

President Roosevelt brought a progressive approach to the New Deal designed to save American capitalism, not end it or replace it. Which is one of the reasons why his critics on the right as well as left, like Wendell Willkie a Classical Liberal similar to me called President Roosevelt a Socialist.

Thats the situation that Franklin Roosevelt inherited as President in 1933 and how we got the safety net in this country known as the New Deal, our first phase of the safety net in this country. Where previously we were more of an economic libertarian country, where support for these policies seemed extreme or far-left, or something. President Roosevelt made these polices seem mainstream.

Governor Reagan and Senator Kennedy were not just considered as potential presidential candidates against President Lyndon Johnson in 1968, but both were considered strong presidential candidates, that would both have their own political bases and the ability to raise a lot of money to run strong, national presidential campaigns in 1968.

Discovery: Mythbusters- 'Kari Byron's Appetite For Destruction'

"Kari Byron Montage - 10"

 From Discovery

Source:Creamy Bone- Kar Byron, on Mytrhbusters.
One of the sexiest things guys will ever see is an attractive sexy woman in a tight outfit who knows how to use tools and uses them. I have absolutely no interest in home improvement shows other than checking out the good-looking female carpenter, or designer.

Shows on cable from 5-10 years ago or so like Trading Spaces, In a Fix, While You Were Out, Clean Sweep, all shows from TLC by the way. That had a very sexy host an at least one attractive designer or carpenter, or in some cases both. Sometimes an attractive host, designer and carpenter, like on Trading Spaces. And you get to check out these women doing what's generally at least back in the day men's work doing all sorts of physical home improvement work. And you get to see these women working with tools and doing a very good job.

I've only seen a few scenes of Mythbusters on Discovery let alone an actual entire show. But working with tools and they generally work on cars and other vehicles, seems to be a big part of their show. Kari Byron might be enough incentive for me to watch an entire episode of Mythbusters based on what she does on that show.

Austin Millbarge: ‘A Grace Kelly Tribute (2007)’

Source:Austin Millbarge- The Amazing Grace Kelly appearing in High Society, from 1956. High Society would've been an appropriate nickname for Grace as well.

“No copyrights infringement intended.
My tribute to Grace Patricia Kelly, one of the most beautiful woman of all time, and great actress.
song: Yanni – Face in the photograph
enjoy:-)” 


Grace Kelly was one of those special women who had the best of all worlds at least physically. One of the most gorgeous, as well as adorable woman whose ever lived to go along with a nice body. And the only problem is that she died way too soon at fifty-three.

The American Princess I believe is the best and most accurate nickname that you can give Amazing Grace, because that is what she was, even if informally. Because that is how she presented herself and how she carried herself. 

Amazing Grace was a gorgeous, baby-face woman, with an incredible voice and personality, as well as intelligence and humor to go with those other qualities. And feeling for other people, that she wasn’t the only important person on the planet. And that all people mattered and were important also.

The Daily Beast: This Week In Punditry- February 3rd, 2013


Source:The Daily Beast- Hardball With Chris Matthews. According to Chris Matthews.

"Rush Limbaugh was his typical incendiary self, Chris Matthews got heated about Hillary, and Bill O'Reilly pushed Colin Powell's buttons about race. See those clips and more in our roundup of the week's most controversial news talk show moments." 


I’m not sure there are three better examples of what’s wrong with so-called cable news (which is really just partisan talk TV) then Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, and Bill O’Reilly. You want to know why the mainstream media is about as unpopular as the U.S. Congress or your average trial lawyer or insurance salesman, or used car salesman, listen to any of these three guys.

Source:The Daily Beast- Sean Hannity, Chris Matthews, and Bill O'Reilly: The Three Stooges of American politics?

This week in punditry. Let's see, where should I start? Well, we just had a week with plenty of punditry in it, oh you want more than that, not sure why, but here it is if you want it, you’ve been warned. 

Well, we had a Secretary of State step down, because she has better things to do than manage our foreign policy. I know right, what’s more important than that. Well she has another book to write and needs to decide if she wants to be President of the United States, or not. Wait, that’s more important, but of course it's her decision. And I wish Secretary Hillary Clinton well with her new Gabby Giffords look in how she where’s her glasses. And I congratulate her with her service to the country the last four years by leaving Congress and not running for President and taking on President Obama. And the Democratic Party thanks her for that as well. 

Let's see what else happened, oh yeah we had a Secretary of Defense confirmation hearing, as if it’s not interesting enough that we would have a Progressive Democrat nominate a Conservative Republican for Secretary of Defense. But the fact that Chuck Hagel forgot to put caffeine in his morning coffee, or forgot to go to bed the night before and forgot to bring his memory, because not all of Chuck Hagel was at that hearing.

Did I also mention that Fox News claimed to be a serious news organization. No, seriously, I know when have they ever reported any news at all and that Fox News still remains the most trusted name in news. Well for the Republican Party anyway, but don’t take that very seriously. Because they also believe that it’s still 1955 and that President Ronald Reagan never raised any taxes. And that homosexuality was invented ten years ago and that Barack Obama is an African Muslim Socialist from Kenya. So take all of that for what it's worth, borrow a dollar if you have too. Or use that money to actually buy something of value. 

Fox News is as much of a news organization as Pat Robertson is a supporter of gay rights in America. And to be fair MSNBC is not much of a news organization either, but two cable networks that serve as mouthpieces for the two major political party’s in America.

What else happened this week? Oh yes, Rush Limbaugh who apparently still hasn’t died from a heart attack yet, declared that since the mainstream media won’t cover the real news in America, ( you know, anything negative towards Barack Obama and other Democrats) that if the mainstream media doesn’t do a job on Democrats, that Rush and his allies will. Perhaps force Democrats to listen to Rush's radio show 24 hours a day and smoke his cigars till they get heart attacks.

Rush Limbaugh is about as much of a reporter as Ron Paul is a Socialist, it’s simply not believable. But the good thing for Rush is that as much as he may hate it, as well as the rest of the country may hate having Rush living in America, he lives in a liberal democracy with freedom of speech and beliefs. 

That's the way it is as Walter Cronkite the famous CBS News anchor always said to close the Evening News. A big week for a lot of people and more evidence of why we need to fully fund mental health care in America. And have a better public education system with all of the nutty and ignorant people we have on both sides of the aisle.

“Raw footage shot at the Ambassador Hotel in Los Angeles shortly after midnight (Pacific time) on June 5, 1968 – the night that Robert F. Kennedy was shot.

The shooting happens (off-camera) a few seconds after 19:40. At that moment, you can hear loud screams and see the ballroom erupt in chaos.”

From CBS News 

“Robert F. Kennedy, in full Robert Francis Kennedy, (born November 20, 1925, Brookline, Massachusetts, U.S.—died June 6, 1968, Los Angeles, California), U.S. attorney general and adviser during the administration of his brother Pres. John F. Kennedy (1961–63) and later a U.S. senator (1965–68). He was assassinated while campaigning for the Democratic Party’s presidential nomination in 1968.”

I don’t want to sound like I’m making light of this tragic event here, because I’m not, but I believe the RFK Assassination represents what life is like when the climb the hill and then slip and fall all the way back down to the valley, immediately after reaching the mountaintop.

California alone wasn’t going to give Senator Kennedy the Democratic nomination. It really just kept his campaign going and kept him in the race as a strong contender for the nomination. But it also sent a signal to the media and to Democrats that RFK was a real force and could not only win the Democratic nomination, but perhaps give him the momentum that he needs to now win the nomination.

So Bobby Kennedy goes from the highest point of his own political career, to losing his life to at the time an unknown assassin in Sirhan Sirhan and for unknown reasons. We still don’t know 45 years later why Sirhan assassinated Kennedy. We just know that he did.

Caterina Balivo: In Skinny Denim Jeans in Boots

"From Festa Italiana 2009/11/25, The Delightful Caterina in leather over the knee boots."

From Bruce FF

Considering I have no idea who the hell Caterina Balivo is, other than she is a beautiful sexy Italian woman from Italy, ( not Italian-American at least born in America ) she is obviously a very attractive woman appearing here I guess on Italian TV. Not as curvy as say as the traditional Italian women American or otherwise.

Sophia Loren comes to mind, perhaps the goddess of goddess’ and perhaps the best looking woman of all-time at least in her prime. But Caterina is still a very attractive woman obviously and definitely worth checking out in her skinny denims in boots. Very popular in Europe and perhaps especially in Italy where the dress code for women is a bit more liberal than it is in America. And you even see newscasters sporting the jeans in boots look there. Claudia Kleinert in Germany is a perfect example of that.

From British Pathe

The 1960 West Virginia Democratic primary was a battle of dirty tricks. With the Humphrey campaign trying to make JFK’s Irish-Catholic faith and issue in an overwhelmingly Anglo-Saxon Protestant state like West Virginia. Which is the South Carolina of the Mid-Atlantic.

The Kennedy campaign with Jack’s father Joe literally buying votes and West Virginia political leaders. Both campaigns running ads against the other that were simply false. When the West Virginia primary should have literally been a battle place of ideas. With HHH offering his social democratic, big government vision. And JFK offering his liberal limited government vision for the country. That would use government to empower people and not just take care of them.

This is one of the most interesting presidential campaigns ever I believe. Jack Kennedy vs Dick Nixon in 1960 was also a great campaign. But the campaign between Senator Jack Kennedy and Senator Hubert Humphrey (or Hubie, to be less formal) I believe at least in some ways was even better. Because it represented a battle of Democratic factions. The New Deal/soon to be Great Society progressive coalition faction of the Democratic Party. That had all sorts of big government social programs for people. Against an emerging liberal New Democratic coalition of JFK that wanted to use government to empower people in need to be able to take care of themselves.

What the Kennedy campaign tried to do here was to make it look like their candidate was the young candidate who represented the younger generation and that Senator Humphrey was old school and represented older people and the ways of the past. Even though they were both World War II Generation and were only six years apart in age. Senator Humphrey ran on his experience even though Senator Kennedy had actually served in Congress longer at this point than Humphrey. With his six years in the House before being elected to the Senate in 1952.

This campaign was really a campaign about ideas and the role of government in America instead. Humphrey wanted a bigger Federal Government to take care of more people. Kennedy wanted to use government to empower people in need to be able to take care of themselves instead.
