How About A Little Breather…

Damn, the times really are trying to the soul.  What with despicable and manifestly un-Constitutional  and demonstrably un-American maneuvers being planned and executed by the Congress and the Executive, we have been forced to fight relentless defensive actions against the monsters who would destroy everything we hold dear.

We all need a little breather.  And, hey, it’s Saturday Night and the lumpwort lickspittles of Leftist god are off doing whatever it is pathetic pustules do in their sorry-ass social lives, so let’s kick back and relax a bit…

-I don’t know about you, but for me, just seeing a pretty gal smile can immediately uplift my spirits.  For example…

-Let’s get things rollin’ in a happy direction with a little Big Joe Turner [introduced by Big Joe Mannix] doing Feelin’ Happy over at Paco’s joint.

-Professor Donald Douglas of the University Of Rock ‘N’ Roll has held a séance and contacted Mr. Jimi Hendrix who has agreed to give a safety lecture on what you should do if you’re caught in a Purple Haze.  Afterwards, The Prof deals the 411 on the scheduled release of some long-buried tracks by Dr. Jimi.

-For all you hepcats out there who groove to the finer arts, Ran The Man has two — count ’em two — dishes of the cuisine he’s serving in his last two Retro Rule 5 postings: Jean-Léon Gérôme / Frank Frazetta and Beached Beauties. Solid strokes for the folks, Daddy-O!

-What’s a party with out some games?  Reaching back into our Vault O’Fun, we’ve discovered this old keening quiz from the fertily fecund mind of Stacy McCain: The Christina Hendricks Gay Test.

-No par-tay would be complete without some beer and Steve Burri is celebrating the 75th Anniversary of canned beer over at Grandpa John’s clip joint.

-Over at the happenin’ club Eye Of Polyphemus, Jamie is serving up some inspiration to get you through these dark times.  It jazzed me.  [FYI: Jamie is going under the knife yet again on Monday, so, if you’re a friend, you might want to send him some of God’s speed here]

-For our next bit of bop, we’re going full-on retro with a ukulele number in the tradition of Rudy Vallee , but with a modern twist.  From the dark recesses of The TrogloPundit’s cave, here’s Victoria Jackson crooning There’s A Communist In The White House.

–Trog also has come up with the funniest photo caption of the week:

-Let’s end it all, as we always do, with a little more musical magic guaranteed to make you forget your woes and ease your worried mind for a little while and rock your baby with a steady roll.  The bourbon’s on me…Don Gardner and Dee Dee Ford and I Need Your Lovin’ Every Day…
