| The American Nazis were thinking big. They were going to overthrow Hollywood. They were going to lynch twenty top Hollywood stars and moguls—an all-Jewish roster including Samuel Goldwyn, Louis B. Mayer, Al Jolson, Eddie Cantor, and Charlie Chaplin—and leave the bodies hanging in public places to maximize the terror. Their propaganda read, “Buy Gentile. Employ Gentile. Vote Gentile. Boycott the movies. Hollywood is the Sodom and Gomorrah where Jewry controls vice, dope, and gambling.” There were plans to use gas grenade launchers to put cyanide into Jewish homes, to throw a beer hall putsch just like Hitler’s that would coincide with the mass robbery of munitions from a National Guard armory, and to blow up a munitions plant in San Diego. |
 [A Challenge on Gun Policy] Those who think there is nothing politicians can do to reduce gun violence need to ask themselves why there has been so little violence carried out in the U.S. with full machine guns since the 1934 National Firearms Act. Previously, the Tommy gun wasn’t uncommon. |
| [Friday Joke] A thief entered a house mid-afternoon. He tied up the women, and at knife point, asked the man to hand over the jewelry and money. The man started sobbing and said, “Take anything you want, but please untie the rope and free her.” The thief said, “You really love your wife.” Man, “No, she is my neighbor’s wife. Mine will be home shortly.” |
 Did Jimi Hendrix set fire to a good Stratocaster, or one just used for his show? They cost around one or two thousand dollars for a good one. Were the guitars he used in his show “stock” Stratocasters or customized ones that he burnt with lighter fluid? I saw him do that and he used Ronsonol lighter fluid, so it wasn’t any special lighter fluid formulated not to damage the guitar. I know the first time he did that, it was the custom guitar that he was playing, but I wonder about the other times he burnt them. Link |

| [Friday Joke] Every box of raisins is a tragic tale of grapes that could have been wine. They say we can have gatherings with up to eight people without issues. I don’t even know eight people without issues. Theme parks can snap a crystal-clear picture of you on a roller coaster going 70 mph, but bank cameras can’t get a clear shot of a robber standing still. Dear paranoid people who check behind their shower curtains for murderers. If you do find one, what’s your plan? The more I get to know people, the more I realize why Noah only let animals on the ark. |

| [Friday Joke] Why did the sandbag go to therapy? It had issues with weightlifting. What did the sandbag say to the beach ball? “You’re just full of hot air!” How did the sandbag feel after a long day at work? Drained and a little sandy. Why did the sandbag refuse to go to the party? It didn’t want to be the “baggage” of the group. What do you call a sandbag that tells jokes? A pun-dbag! |

 [No Live-aboards] This is the first time in all the years that I’ve been going to the Kohen boat ramp that there were no live-aboards. There used to be a whole community of people living on their boats. Where did they go? The ramp used to have a barbecue grill and several chairs and a pretty good community of boaters. There used to be a group of old men passing the time in the early evenings. This is the view north to Annette Key with Little Spanish Key in the far distance. |
| [Friday Joke] Two engineering students were riding bicycles across a university campus when one said, “Where did you get the great bike?” The second engineer replied, “Well, I was walking yesterday, minding my own business, when a beautiful woman rode up on this bike, threw it to the ground, took off all her clothes, and said, ‘Take what you want.'” The first engineer nodded approvingly and said, “Good choice: The clothes probably wouldn’t have fit you anyway. |

| [Friday Joke] United Flight Attendant announced, ‘People, people we’re not picking out furniture here, find a seat and get in it! On landing, the same stewardess said, ‘Please be sure to take all of your belongings. If you’re going to leave anything, please make sure it’s something we’d like to have. ‘ As the plane landed and was coming to a stop, a lone voice came over the loudspeaker: ‘Whoa, big fella, WHOA! |
