The More Things Change...

So, I was browsing through the slide collection, looking for a Tedious Tuesday candidate, when THIS one popped up.

Hmmmm.    It must be an omen.

This slide probably dates from 1960's America, but I'm sure the sentiment remains with Mango Don in 2025.

Bonus :

Speaking of whom...

 

L.B.J. at the House Burning?

 

I may have been mis-informed, but I believe that tis might be Lyndon Baines Johnson, the 36thPOTUS, at an event where his political opponent Francis Xavier Gardener had his home knocked down and burned, before being written out of the history books entirely.

Not a very nice person, from what I've read about LBJ.

Bonus - Phew. 6th December....looks like I survived Krampusnacht.

We Need Leadership...

...Not Government by Insult."

On this Brexit Day, I thought this slide was fairly appropriate.

I'd be fascinated to know the circumstances of the original slide scene.

Bonus -  75 years ago, the worst ship sinking death-toll....and you've probably never heard of it.  MV Wilhelm Gustloff

Bonus 2 - 40 years ago, R.I.P. Professor Longhair  Crawfish Fiesta

Boris's Blue-Rinse Cheerleaders

Now that the results are in, and it's been confirmed that BoJo will remain our Prime Minister, I can exclusively reveal that this bevy of biddies have played the role of Tory Stormtroopers.

Wherever Boris was due to speak, these matrons have turned up in advance to lay the smack down on any potential opposition.

Well done Brenda, Bella, Madge and Mildred.

Brexit Woes

Brexit Vote in Parliament this evening, and I'm reminded....

No.


Fuggit.    It's just too depressing.

Here's a picture of a cold, wintry wasteland.


Bonus - 

The Original Triple H

Before the arrival of a hook-nosed rassler, this was the only true HHH.

Hubert Horatio Humphrey.

Bonus - Yumm

The Post-Election Party

Yes. The General election is over, and the Conservative Party is celebrating. Here, we have a picture smuggled out of Schloss Conservative, showing David "Dave" Cameron (right) partying the night away.

Bonus - 88 Years since the disappearance of L'Oiseau Blanc

Bonus 2 - More Duck

Miss Harriet Harman

(OK, I know it isn't really.)

Miss Harriet Harman (or ms Harriet Man-Hating Har-person, if you're visiting from The Daily Mail) clutches her ballot form for her candidacy for Leader of the Labour Party, and displays her ethnic print, fair-trade, dolphin friendly dress for us to admire and pay for.
