This week some psychedelic rock. But first…

Take a look at this picture of a group from the very early 1970’s.

Recognize them?

How about the guy second from the left?

Don’t know?

That’s ok. Good chance you’ve at least heard them.

They originally called themselves The Moonrakers. Later they changed their name to Sugarloaf, a mountain outside Boulder, Colorado.

Does that  help at all with a clue to tonight’s oldie?

The lead singer and keyboardist for Sugarloaf was Jerry Corbetta.

He’s in the back row, far left.

Sugarloaf’s first and biggest hit came in 1970. “Green Eyed Lady” was nearly seven minutes long, yet still got air time until it was chopped down for even greater radio play. It climbed to #3 on the Billboard chart.

Corbetta died this month due to Pick’s disease, a rare form of progressive dementia that affects specific parts of the brain. He was 68.

Enjoy the rarely heard long version.

Trump wins:

We believe that Trump won the debate and the presidency.  All he had to do was stay with Hillary. She has lots of experience, mostly wrong.

She has made bad decisions, except when making sure her family is in the chips. He had to show he was capable of being a president, he did that and so won the day.  All the polls we saw show him winning except from the Lefty CNN.

 

Ron and Russ:

Russ spent 18 years in the senate, never accomplished anything, never brought a job to Wisconsin, even refused to help companies that needed help with the govt.

He was kicked out of office because he invented these Big Money groups, 527’s, to help him and the Dems, but it has backfired.  Hillary, Bernie hate them, but Russ loves them.

Ron came from nowhere. He has been instrumental in putting National security together, saving social security, for this country.  A solid leader, liked by all, while Russ is biggest flake, and jerk, in the country.

Dickie Morris: “Feingold biggest flake in senate, no one follows him”.  Feingold cannot lead, cause no one follows.

Ron needs Conservative help.  He can win.  If every Conservative, that gets this email, gets 100 voters for Ron via phone, card, email and door to door. He will win, so go out and do your job.  Grass roots wins in Wisconsin.

 

North Carolina Riots:

Big Thanks to Scott Walker and Sheriff David Clarke. They called in the State Patrol asap, the first day, to put maximum force at the riot site, so we did not have a repeat of 1967 riots in Milwaukee.  Their fast thinking, overruling Abele and Barrett, who always dither and dather, saved lives and property.

Clarke closed down Sherman Park, where the thugs were organizing and getting ready to blow.  After it was all over, then Abele steps in and to show his manliness and fought with Clarke to open it up again.

 

Tommy, Ryan, Scott.:  Why did Ryan win his primary?  He is a Conservative, that actually wants to solve problems.  Tommy solved problems with Conservative programs, and so has Scott.

Talked to Scott at the Randa funeral about reorganizing the UW system.  Many of the state business and community leaders are pushing to do that.  It must be done.

Too much duplication, ancillary staff, administration, big buildings, pork, in the system.  It will help reduce costs for our kids.

Our family loves the University, wear our colors all the time.

All 7 of us took advantage of the schools, to have success full careers

But everything has to change.  Companies reorganize every year, Colleges every 300 years.

They porked up, on student loan money.

Too many of our kids come out with heavy debt. They did not eat grilled cheese at Rennebohms, 10 times a week, like we did.  They need credit counseling, too.

 

Reading:

To us, our premier problem in this state, is the fact that our reading scores are down.  We have spent ten times as much, for 40% fewer student, in the schools, since 1970.

Only 15% of the kids, at MPS, can read after third grade.  That is disaster.

These inner city kids, cannot be wasted, to live off the streets.

 

Movie to See:  “Sully”.  Great acting and an eye opener about Govt. Bureaucracy.

Book to Read:  “Killing the Rising Sun”.  Why did we drop the “Bomb”.

Series to Watch:  “Longmire” on NetFlix:  We hunted that area for decades, beautiful.

 

My partner, Jean, 47 years, five kids, has been laid up for knee replacements.  It has been tough ride.  She really appreciates all the thanks she has gotten from everyone.

 

Conservative Leadership:

We have worked 50 years, for Conservatives, that solve problems.  We need help.  Who wil come forth, to lead, to offset the big money with Grassroots efforts?  We do not need these big donors, on both sides, we need Grass Roots efforts.  You can win this election by working in your areas to get out vote.

 

Chronicle of Conservative History in Wisconsin since 1964.  We are writing a Chronicle of the History of Conservative action in this state since we started in 1964.  Any one want to help?  Linda Cross will edit the ideas.

OR, the following is a Public Service Announcement from Kevin Fischer and This Just In…

NFL Week 4

BYE
Green Bay Philadelphia

Look out guys. The Packers don’t play this week.

Guys, don’t kid yourselves. The women have been plotting…for a long, long time. They fully expect your TV screen this Sunday to look like this…

Here’s a blog I wrote on this extremely serious topic in October of 2007:

My wife, who knows absolutely nothing about sports, and that would include football, is fully aware that the Green Bay Packers don’t play today because of their bye week.

That clever spouse of mine has already sweetly suggested a shopping trip this afternoon.

I imagine there are all kinds of things to do during a bye week.

A female blogger who goes by the name “thestarterwife” on ladiesdotdotdot.wordpress.com had these suggestions for the Steelers bye week last weekend:

1. Do your Christmas shopping! And not just because the bargains are terrific this time of year. Come December when the NFL playoff hunt is in full swing and the malls are at their craziest, you’ll be able loaf around on the sofa every weekend guilt-free while all those sad sacks are trying to catch scores on Best Buy displays.
2. It’s October. Think of all the pumpkins just waiting to be gutted.
3. Go outside! It misses you. It wonders why it you weren’t out there during the summer, rolling in the grass (Excuse: the pre-season gets earlier and earlier) and why you’re presently not out frolicking through the falling leaves. Plus, as it turns out the rumors are true: reality is slightly clearer than HDTV.
4. Eat a salad. God knows your digestive tract will appreciate a one-day reprieve from the typical assault of fried and/or alcoholic nonsense.
5. Visit a museum. Because. You know. Culture. And stuff.
6. If you insist on staying home, a Sunday afternoon is a good time to catch up on your Netflix and the Tivo you’ve already bloated with four episodes of “Gossip Girl”. (That naughty Chuck Bass is so evil!)
7. Visit your non-football watching friends. Most likely they’re having a tremendously exciting afternoon of “Scene It” with a box of Cheez-Its and wine spritzers. You probably have a whole plethora of pals who think you lose your mind every fall and would love to see you.
8. Plan “frisky time” with your mate. Having a full afternoon free for sex can do wonders for a relationship that has been severally strained since the time you begged off saying, “Hold on, I want to make sure I catch Olbermann at halftime.”
9. Watch baseball. That’s still going, right?

That’s the female perspective.

A few years ago, Keith Hayes wrote these bye week ideas on e-sports.com:

Find Religion: Head to church, confess all of those sins and impure thoughts you’ve committed while attending and watching football games the past six weeks… Oh yes, the sins you committed during the preseason count.

Tailgate at Home: Go to you son’s pee wee or mighty mites game done up in grease paint armed with air horns and noisemakers. Then, break out the grill, cook hamburgers and hot dogs for the kids while getting a sugar high from drinking gallons of Teenie Weenie juices.

Mow the Lawn: You haven’t mowed since the hurricane rains, and your backyard has been labeled protected environment by the National  Wildlife Association.

Be a Father to Your Child: Reintroduce yourself to the kids as the father they knew before week one. This way they can forget all about the terrorizing lunatic who has been screaming obscenities at the TV for the past two weekends.

Get in Touch With Your Sensitive Side: Spend time with the wifey/girlfriend/significant other doing the things they like… Renting movies, watching Lifetime or the Oxygen network. For bonus points, take a trip to Christmas Tree Shops with her.

Become a Redneck: Run out, grab a Nextel phone, some chewin’ tobacca’, Coors beer, a Confederate flag, and practice your best south of the border southern drawl so you can spend the weekend as a NASCAR fan watching drivers make 4 left turns. Remember… It’s Chase for the Cup time so try not to disrespect anyone by rooting for someone who is out of the standings.

Make it a Star Wars Weekend: Call up all of your geeky sci-fi buddies, purchase the Star Wars Trilogy on DVD, and watch it in all of it’s hi-def glory as you fantasize about your wifey/girlfriend/significant other wearing Princess Leia’s slave outfit from Return of the Jedi.

Now my perspective.

Uhh, guys…….get a hold of yourselves.

It’s Sunday.

In October.

The National Football League doesn’t come to a grinding halt because the Packers have the day off.

Do not succumb to the “honeydew” assault: “Honey do this, Honey do that.”

Here are Kevin Fischer’s ideas on what to do during a Packers bye week:

There was a great deal of attention on NBC’s Lester Holt coming into Monday night’s debate. I was not impressed.

How many times did Lester Holt interrupt Hillary Clinton?

How many times did Lester Holt interrupt Donald Trump?

Lester Holt, where were the questions on e-mails?

Lester Holt, where were the questions on Benghazi? Obamacare? Immigration?

Where were the questions on failure after failure overseas when Clinton was Secretary of State?

Observations from others:

Somebody forgot to tell the moderator that he was supposed to moderate and not debate Donald Trump.  Lester Holt, of the Nobody But Clinton network, was clearly in the tank for Hillary Clinton. I suspect he was secretly auditioning to be her press secretary.  Just  tally the number of times Holt interrupted Trump and pressed him on follow up questions and then compare that number to Hillary’s. As we say in Dixie, Hillary got some home-cookin’.
Todd Starnes is the host of Fox News & Commentary – heard daily on 250+ radio stations

The ref not only made himself part of the game on Monday night, he ran up to the scrimmage line, then sacked the quarterback three times.

Arguing with Trump is Clinton’s job, not Holt’s.

For Holt to allow her to get away with saying, “It was a mistake” on her usage of email doesn’t cut it, not from a guy who was willing to hammer Trump on a remark like “I just don’t think she has a presidential look.”
