Sunday Quiz

Who said this? "I don't sing any love songs. I'm never in love. No Jane Russell type jokes. No violence. There are no gestures, alluding to the derrière or other parts of the anatomy. Words like 'lousy' or 'stinker' are absolutely verboten... It's a happy, wholesome show"

Mark said...: I know, but I cheated so I'm not going to spoil it for anyone else. I will say that I barely remember that show. What I remember about it is watching it on a small black and white TV back in Kansas City when I was under 4 years old.

And the name of the star of the show was mentioned in a Chad Mitchell Trio song, entitled, "The John Birch Society"... a satirical folk song.

That's what I remember. No more hints.; 5:46 AM
Lone Ranger said...: I should mention to everyone that googling the quiz is like cheating at solitaire. No pain, no gain. These are tests of your memory or experiences.

No, not Lawrence Welk, although he'd qualify. And not Captain Kangaroo either.; 6:40 AM
Trader Rick said...: Joe Pine?; 8:07 AM
Cathy said...: I'm gonna guess this is before my frame of memory--- late 50's--- Unfortunately Mark's hint didn't help... since I've never heard of The Chad Mitchell Trio although I would love to hear that song!!

Was it a variety show?

My guess this time around is Soupy Sales-- but I believe his was a children's morning show, right?; 8:09 AM
Lone Ranger said...: Wasn't Soupy Sales. He did have a children's show. But children's shows can be variety shows too.

I already have my quiz question for next week:

Who's Joe Pine?; 12:49 PM
BB-Idaho said...: If it's not Geraldo Rivera, is it
Phil Harris?; 1:48 PM
Lone Ranger said...: Phil Harris? He did exactly what this person said he wouldn't do. The big joke on the Harris show is that he was a heavy drinker and was always getting in trouble with his wife.; 6:55 PM
Lone Ranger said...: It's Sunday night and I'm back at work (will it never end?), so I guess it's time to give the answer to the Sunday quiz. The person who said that was Pinky Lee. He said that in response to criticism of his show. He was loved by kids but hated by adults. Parents said after his high-energy show, they had a difficult time calming down their children. And since there was no Ritalin in those days, they couldn't drug the tykes into submission. It was one of my favorite shows, although I have only a vague memory of it now.; 8:55 PM
Anonymous said...: Well, I missed the quiz, but that was before my time.

Just when I started feeling old, I suddenly feel like the youngest in the room. ;); 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.

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.

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.
