Start Your Morning with Dino and the Andrews Sisters

The Andrews Sisters, on The Dean Martin Show in 1962.

I teared up when I watched this. Television used to be SO entertaining.

Cathy said...: Michael and I were just talking about Dean and Frank. They were the coolest of cool. No one comes close.... no one. I have no desire to ever go to Las Vegas--- even though I have family now living there... but had I been around in the 60's... I most assuredly would have gone to see the Rat Pack in Vegas...; 8:33 AM
dino martin peters said...: Hey pallie, like thanks for helpin' to start my mornin' right with this great Dinoclip. Never was, never will be anyone as cool as the King of Cool. Oh, to return to the days when Dino walks the earth!; 9:30 AM
Rogue Spy 007 said...: I love this clip. Thanks for posting it. It's a great way to start a Saturday morning. I love the Andrew Sisters, plus I'm huge fan of Dean Martin. It's nice to see them paired up. It's a great song. It's a shame there isn't talent like this around much anymore.; 10:35 AM
Lone Ranger said...: Dean Martin was one of those guys -- along with Frank Sinatra and Sammy Davis Jr. -- who could seemingly do everything. I also love his movies. And he made it look so easy, it was obvious he was born to be in show business.; 12:45 PM
dino martin peters said...: Hey pallie, yeah, Dino had the amazin' ability to do it all...movies....both comedies and dramas.....recordings, clubs, theatre, and TV....no one did everything that Dino did durin' his stellar career...and of course no one ever did it as cool as the King of Cool!; 6:48 PM
DAKOTARANGER said...: I wish TV Land would carry his show. That might make a good letter writing campaign.

After seeing the original Ocean's 11 with the Rat Pack, makes me wonder why they remade it with clooney and his ilk. They should have just re-released the original to theaters.; 10:44 PM
Rogue Spy 007 said...: I know what was meant by Ocean's Eleven. Watching the Clooney version, I was thinking that this has nothing on the original. They should have just released it again in theaters. Let a new generation see who the coolest cats were. Of course, I'm speaking of the Rat Pack. My favorite was Dino, the Master of Hip, the King of Cool. This cat could do anything he wanted. He made it look so easy at that. He and his pallies were all around great entertainers.; 10:19 AM

Talking Points

I don't use talking points, I create them.

1. Hate makes people stoopid.

2. There is nothing so impenetrable as a closed mind.

3. A stupid person is not someone who can't learn, but someone who refuses to learn.

8. Ignorance is the cornerstone of arrogance.

9. Which is more racist, to hate someone who is not white or to assume someone is racist because he is white?

10. Children are not stupid. If a child is taught, the child will learn. If a child is not learning, the child is not being taught.

29. Reading Democratic Party platforms is like reading the history of human rights abuses and crimes against humanity in this country.

25 Immutable Truths About Liberals

Over the years I've been writing this blog, I've been throwing out little self-evident truths that seem to have no exceptions that prove the rule. I've made a list of some of them and will add to it as I remember them or make up more. Most of this list I've come up with myself. A few I've borrowed from others.

1. Always expect the worst from a liberal and you will never be surprised.

2. Never try to reason with a liberal. They disregard any evidence that conflicts with their beliefs.

3. You can always tell what liberals are up to by what they accuse conservatives of doing.

4. Liberals don't debate, they argue.

5. The only standards liberals have are double standards.

6. Liberals feel, conservatives think.

7. Whenever you don't understand a liberal's motives, just look for the money.

8. Liberals cannot be embarrassed. They lack the gene to blush.

9. The Liberal Golden Rule is, "Do unto others but scream bloody murder if they do unto you."

10. Liberals don't have leaders, they have demi-gods.

11. There are no honest liberals. If they were honest -- especially to themselves -- they would be conservatives.

12. A liberal's business is nobody's business, but everyone's business is a liberal's business.

13. Liberals have an inflated sense of self-worth. They are like house flies that criticize the air-worthiness of a Stealth fighter. (Sarah Palin, George W. Bush, ad infinitum are morons.)

14. Liberals lack a sixth sense that conservatives have in abundance -- common sense.

15. Liberals never stop hating.

16. There are only two types of liberals -- the deceivers and the deceived. The difficulty is telling them apart.

17. Every time liberals get on their high horse, they get bucked off.

18. Liberal programs are so wonderful that they have to be forced on people.

19. Liberals always choke on their own medicine.

20. When given a moral choice, liberals always come down on the wrong side of the fence.

21. The only way liberals can build themselves up is by tearing others down.

22. Liberals not only refuse to learn from their mistakes, they refuse to admit them.

23. Liberals have only two political positions -- blind devotion and blind hatred.

24. Liberals are incapable of attacking the message, so they always attack the messenger.

25. Liberal diversity is only skin deep.
