Coffee, Clowns, Social Media, and Apes

Subscribe to GLoP CultureSubscribe

This week on GLoP, we ramble though a grand tour of disparate topics: Charlton Heston (his turns in both Earthquake and Planet of The Apes), clown school, the Democrat's double shot caffeinated response to Starbuck's Howard Shultz pondering a Presidential run, the perils of being too forthcoming on social media and some pondering about the effect of social media on society at large, and a whole lot of other ephemera and giggles. In other words, have a hot, steaming cup of GLoP on us.

Music from this week's show: Black Coffee in Bed by Squeeze

    For Rob, actually illegals are responsible for hundreds (at least) of deaths in this country every year. About half are vehicular related and the other half are run of the mill homicides. Most of the murders are criminals on criminals (those MS13 alter boys and their friends). Most of the vehicular related ones involve booze. Just watching the local papers I see one of those a month or more, just around here. And that doesn't even touch the deaths via drugs. Most of the opiate overdoses are from drugs smuggled over the border. Also, it is my understanding that illegals cost the taxpayers billions annually. If a wall or appropriate border barriers can cut down on that, it will be money well spent. And it should be able to cut down on the numbers after all the infamous caravan from October/November fame hit the wall on the California border and stopped. Few if any of those folks made into the country, so walls can work- they don't have to be perfect, just one of several ways we protect the border, like more judges to process border crossers, more enforcement agents (Border Patrol), more housing for those that do cross the border but are apprehended or are asylum seekers. All of which are part of what the administration requested funds for in addition to a couple of hundred miles of new barriers and repair of existing ones.

    I think the mutated humans in "Beneath The Planet Of The Apes" were mutated as a result of radiation from the previous nuclear war, not because of the presence of that bomb that they worshiped.

    And in the third movie, they went back in time before the Earth was destroyed. But it was crap, because supposedly the apes recovered the crashed ship from the first movie, figured out how it worked (?!?!?!?!?!) and got it back into space somehow (?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!) and just happened to go back in time to just after the first movie began (with the launching from Earth)... !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    Re media and video etc: several years ago, I think it was a local radio host who pointed out that TV news didn't start having a big audience until COLOR TV became common, and they could show COLOR video of building fires, etc.

    Dr. Zaius, John, is not a chimp; he is an orangutan.
