Helaine Olen: I am taking a vacation - and so should you (Washington Post)
See, we don't take vacations in the United States, not really. The United States is, famously, the only First World country that does not mandate employers give employees paid time off. (That includes Christmas and Thanksgiving.) In Canada and Japan, workers must receive at least 10 paid vacation days, and the Canadians also enjoy a number of paid official holidays. The European Union mandates all employees receive 20 days off annually - and that also does not include paid holidays. But in the United States? Nothing.


Greg Sargent: What the Ohio result tells us about a big argument among Democrats (Washington Post)
In this district, Republicans worked hard to tar the Democrat as the candidate of crime and open borders, to galvanize the blue collar white vote. In the face of these attacks, O'Connor stressed a bread-and-butter Democratic message about jobs, infrastructure and health care.


Greg Sargent: The House map is very broad for Democrats. And Trump is the reason why. (Washington Post)
"Trump is the fuel behind the Democratic energy right now," Gonzales told me. "He's the reason why these seats are vulnerable. Democrats have harnessed that energy into Democratic recruitment and fundraising. That's created a lot of takeover opportunities. The bottom line is that Democrats don't have to run the table on the competitive seats to win the majority." None of this guarantees the House for Democrats, of course. The battle favors them right now to some extent, but a lot can change, and Republican structural advantages run deep.


Dana Milbank: Trump, down three touchdowns at halftime, declares victory (Washington Post)
At best, the presidential victory decrees are premature - the equivalent of giving the coach a Gatorade shower when you're down three touchdowns at halftime. "We're going to win so much you're going to get tired of winning," Trump used to promise. But will people tire of Trump saying we're winning when the scoreboard indicates otherwise?

Throwback Thursday Trivia Question from Yesterday


What is the name of this TV series, set at Fort Courage?


       "F Troop"                                                      Source


F Troop is a satirical American television sitcom about U.S. soldiers and American Indians in the Wild West during the 1860s that originally aired for two seasons on ABC. It debuted in the United States on September 14, 1965 and concluded its run on April 6, 1967 with a total of 65 episodes. The first season of 34 episodes was broadcast in black-and-white, the second season in color.

The series relied heavily on character-based humor; verbal and visual gags, slapstick, physical comedy and burlesque comedy make up the prime ingredients of F Troop. The series played fast and loose with historical events and persons, and often parodied them for comical effect. There were some indirect references made to the culture of the 1960s such as a "Playbrave Club" (a parody of a Playboy Club) and two rock and roll bands (one which performs songs written in the 1960s).

F Troop is set at Fort Courage-a fictional United States Army outpost in the Old West-from just at the end of the American Civil War in 1865 to at least 1867. There is a town of the same name adjacent to the fort. Fort Courage was named for the fictitious General Sam Courage (portrayed by Cliff Arquette, best known as the character Charley Weaver.) The fort itself is in the stockade style typically found in most American westerns.

The commanding officer is the gallant although laughably clumsy Captain Wilton Parmenter (Ken Berry), who is descended from a long line of distinguished military officers. He is awarded the Medal of Honor after accidentally instigating the final Civil War charge at the Battle of Appomattox. He also is awarded the Purple Heart after he is accidentally pricked in the chest by his commanding officer while receiving his first medal, making him known as "the only soldier in history to get a medal for getting a medal."

Much of the humor of the series derives from the scheming of Captain Parmenter's somewhat crooked but amiable non-commissioned officers, Sergeant Morgan O'Rourke (Forrest Tucker) and Corporal Randolph Agarn (Larry Storch). They, in league with the local (fictitious) American Indian tribe, the Hekawis-led by Chief Wild Eagle (Frank de Kova), are forever seeking to expand and conceal their shady business deals covertly and collectively referred to as "O'Rourke Enterprises". Although O'Rourke and Agarn try to take full advantage of Captain Parmenter's innocence and naïveté, they are also very fond of and fiercely protective of him, and woe be to anyone attempting to harm him. Parmenter also struggles to exert his authority outside the ranks. Very bashful, he tries to escape the matrimonial plans of his girlfriend, shopkeeper-postmistress Jane Angelica Thrift, known locally as "Wrangler Jane" (played by Melody Patterson, who was awarded the role at the age 16, thanks to a forged birth certificate)-though he becomes a bit more affectionate toward her during the second season.        Source

Dave answered:
   F Troop. A mid-sixties Sitcom with a western theme. It lasted only 2 seasons and was on ABC.
  F Troop starred the burly 6'-5" journeyman actor Forrest Tucker, comedian Larry Storch, and Ken Berry as their commanding officer. The show followed a familiar TV sitcom recipe (think Sgt. Bilko) with the conniving enlisted men neglecting their military duties in favor of amusing or enriching themselves and pulling the wool over their clueless commander's eyes.





mj replied:
   The end of the Civil War was neat
  When straight out of his- tor- ree, a hero who sneezed abruptly seized defeat and reversed it to vic-tor-ree. Wilton Parmenter went on to command F Troop.




Mark. responded:
   F Troop.



Stephen F said:
   F Troop



zorch wrote:
   F-Troop was set at Fort Courage.



Gene answered:
   F-Troop.
  The theme song begins:
  The end of the Civil War was near
  And quite accidentally
  A hero who sneezed
  Abruptly seized defeat and reversed it to victory.
  His Medal of Honor please and thrilled his proud little family group
  But pinning it on some blood was spilled
  And so it was planned he command. . . F-Troop!





Roy, The Libtard in Texas, replied:
   I can't say for certain that this show was a historically accurate portrayal of the Army in the old west, but doggone it, F Troop was hilarious!





Jim from CA, retired to ID, responded:
   F Troop



David of Moon Valley said:
   why i remember Forrest Tucker and Larry Storch and Ken Berry and the rest of F Troop...was one of my favorite shows at the time...'Agarn!!!'



Deborah wrote:
   Of course, that's "F Troop," which I found both stupid and funny - I was a kid during its heyday.
  Local law enforcement caught a mentally unstable woman setting a fire at the I-505 & I-80 interchange earlier this week. It was daytime and there were multiple witnesses. Turns out she may have set a couple other local fires, at least one of which resulted in significant loss of property, if not loss of life. I wonder how her crimes could have been avoided…and I have no answers.




Adam answered:
   F-Troop



Cal in Vermont replied:
   F-Troop starring among others the wonderful Larry Storch who one time on a TV show got Cary Grant to say "Judy, Judy, Judy." for the first and last time. He played wonderful bits like "The Burglar Of Banf-f". Frank DeKova as the Chief of the Heckawies was fun to watch in light of all the Indians he played during his long and productive career.



Kevin K. of Washington, DC responded:
   That was "F Troop". Sarge" played by Forrest Tucker used to say to "Agarn", played by Larry Storch if he came up with an idea, "Agarn, I don't know why people say you're so dumb", Storch would look pleased for a second, then do a double take and say: "Who says I'm dumb?" Hit laugh track. Good times...



Dave in Tucson wrote:

John I from Hawai`i says,

Billy in Cypress said:
   F Troop not one of my favorites, but I did remember the name of the show.



DJ Useo replied:
   You can't stump me on this one. I was just watching F-Troop last night. For Real.
  I had just finished watching a "My Favorite Martian" with that annoying Detective Brennan, and the F-Troop episode I watched after had that same actor as a guest star. What a coin-ki-dink.
  I was watching from my own dvd's, too.
  @Marty - All my condolences for your tragic loss of your kitty. I've been there. Sorry for your hurt.
  Also, all my prayers to y'all threatened by the fires. My concerns are with you.





George M. responded:
   Marty, you can't fool me - the television show in question is "F Troop".
  To quote Corporal Agarn, "Who says I'm dumb?"
  I leave you with the words of Chief Wild Eagle - "It is balloon!"

Marc's Guide to Curing Cancer

So far so good on beating cancer for now. I'm doing fine. At the end of the month I'll be 16 months into an 8 month mean lifespan. And yesterday I went on a 7 mile hike and managed to keep up with the hiking group I was with. So, doing something right.

Still waiting for future test results and should see things headed in the right direction. I can say that it's not likely that anything dire happens in the short term so that means that I should have time to make several more attempts at this. So even if it doesn't work the first time there are a lot of variations to try. So if there's bad news it will help me pick the next radiation target.

I have written a "how to" guide for oncologists to perform the treatment that I got. I'm convinced that I'm definitely onto something and whether it works for me or not isn't the definitive test. I know if other people tried this that it would work for some of them, and if they improve it that it will work for a lot of them.

The guide is quite detailed and any doctor reading this can understand the procedure at every level. I also go into detail as to how it works, how I figured it out, and variations and improvements that could be tried to enhance it. I also introduce new ways to look at the problem. There is a lot of room for improvement and I think that doctors reading it will see what I'm talking about and want to build on it. And it's written so that if you're not a doctor you can still follow it. It also has a personal story revealing that I'm the class clown of cancer support group. I give great interviews and I look pretty hot in a lab coat.

So, feel free to read this and see what I'm talking about. But if any of you want to help then pass this around to both doctors and cancer patients. I need some media coverage. I'm looking for as many eyeballs as possible to read these ideas. Even if this isn't the solution, it's definitely on the right track. After all, I did hike 7 miles yesterday. And this hiking group wasn't moving slow. So if this isn't working then, why am I still here?

I also see curing cancer as more of an engineering problem that a medical problem. So if you are good at solving problems and most of what you know about medicine was watching the Dr. House MD TV show, then you're at the level I was at when I started. So anyone can jump in and be part of the solution.

Here is a link to my guide: Oncologists Guide to Curing Cancer using Abscopal Effect

Returns To Work

Julia Louis-Dreyfus

It's back to work for Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

The actress shared a photo of herself at the table read with the rest of the Veep cast on Thursday.

Joins Weezer

"Weird Al" Yankovic

Some memes refuse to die. They get retweeted, regrammed, and reiterated over and over to the point where what was once rather funny becomes patently insufferable. Weezer's cover of Toto's "Africa" is not this type of meme.

Not only is the Internet fan-fiction of a cover the band's biggest hit in nearly a decade, they keep finding ways to make it even better. There was that time last month where Toto keyboardist Steve Porcaro played it with them on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, for example. Or last night at Los Angeles' The Forum where they upped the ante by bringing out the king of parody himself, "Weird Al" Yankovic.

Al came out to handle the epic keyboard solo on his trusty accordion, proving once again that he is a the master of the squeezebox. Things went next level, however, when he joined in with Rivers Cuomo for the rousing final chorus. Check out fan-shot footage of the performance, and long live "Africa".

This is hardly the apex of this cover's lifecycle, it would seem. Later tonight, Toto will return the favor by officially releasing their version of Weezer's "Hash Pipe". They've already started folding their rendition into their setlist, as you can see in the crowd footage that's come online.

'70s Van Found

Aerosmith

Long before Aerosmith filled stadiums with tens of thousands of fans, the band traveled New England in a tiny van playing to smaller crowds.

That dilapidated van has been found in the woods of a small Massachusetts town.

Mike Wolfe and Frank Fritz, hosts of the History Channel show "American Pickers," located the van in Chesterfield, a town of about 1,200 residents 100 miles west of Boston.

The property owner said the 1964 International Harvester Metro van was there when he bought the land from someone with a connection to Aerosmith.

Ray Tabano, a founding member of Aerosmith, confirmed it was the van the rockers used in the 1970s.

'The Big Bang Theory'

Macaulay Culkin

Audiences find ratings powerhouse The Big Bang Theory delightful, but Macaulay Culkin - not so much.

The former child star said Thursday that the team behind the Emmy-winning series had reached out to him multiple times. He always said thanks but no thanks.

"They pursued me for The Big Bang Theory," Culkin told Joe Rogan on the podcast "The Joe Rogan Experience." "And I said no. It was kind of like, the way the pitch was, 'All right, these two astrophysicist nerds and a pretty girl lives with them. Yoinks!' That was the pitch. And I was like, 'Yeah, I'm cool, thanks.' And then they came back at me again, and I said, 'No, no, no. Again, flattered, but no.' Then they came back at me again, and even my manager was, like, twisting my arm."

If the Home Alone star had appeared on The Big Bang Theory, it would have provided a genius opportunity to market the episodes as a night of child stars from the '90s, since several actors, including Johnny Galecki, Mayim Bialik, and Kaley Cuoco, all fit in that category. It also would have meant a lot for Culkin's bank account, he said.

The Big Bang Theory, which returns for a 12th season in September, is the home of several of TV's highest-paid actors. For instance, series lead Jim Parsons earned $27.5 million from the show and other endeavors between June 1, 2016, and June 1, 2017, according to Forbes. Galecki and Cuoco, who earned $26.5 million and $26 million, respectively, were right behind him.

Drops Deal

Tribune Media

Tribune Media said Thursday it was ending its proposed merger with the conservative Sinclair Broadcast Group, the biggest operator of local television in the United States and seen as supportive of President Donald Trump, scuppering a deal that would have turned Sinclair into a national news behemoth.

The $3.9 billion deal would have given Sinclair control of more than 200 local television stations broadcasting to 72 percent of the US population, and the announcement of the proposed merger in May 2017 raised concerns about Sinclair's market dominance.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was initially seen as favoring the union, which had the blessing of the Trump administration.

In a bid to reassure regulators, Sinclair said it was willing to relinquish 23 stations but the FCC accused the local new giant of trying to retain control of several of them, and cited a lack of transparency in its plans.

Sinclair raised hackles in March when it had all the anchors of its daily news shows across the country recite the exact same script, which adopted the tone and rhetoric of Trump, accusing other media outlets of spreading "biased and false news."

Move Sparks Swift Backlash

Oscars

The Oscars will introduce a new award for popular films and the annual ceremony will be limited to three hours, organizers said on Wednesday, in a bid to stave off slumping audiences for the movie industry's most prestigious honors.

The decision to create a special category for popular films sparked an immediate backlash, with one critic saying it smacked of desperation.

The sweeping changes also include handing out some of the 24 Academy Awards during commercial breaks in the Feb. 24 broadcast on Walt Disney Co's ABC network.

The U.S. television audience for the almost four-hour Oscar ceremony in March 2018 was 26.5 million viewers, the smallest in awards' 90-year history. The telecast is an important showcase for the film industry, and nominated movies typically attract a new wave of ticket buyers.

The changes are the biggest since the Academy in 2016 pledged to double its female and minority membership by 2020 in response to the #OscarsSoWhite criticism of its nominees.

Star Multiplies

Walk of Fame

Donald Trump's star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame - destroyed on several occasions by detractors who sometimes wield a pick-ax - mysteriously multiplied over night so that on Thursday morning there were several dozen stars.

The effort comes from a conservative street artist who wishes to remain anonymous, but says he was motivated not only by the destruction of the president's real star, but also a recent unanimous vote by the West Hollywood City Council to recommend the removal of Trump's star due to accusations he has mistreated women.

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce and Los Angeles City Council haven't weighed in on the matter, but those who oppose the proposal note that others in Hollywood who have also been accused of mistreating women still have stars on the Walk of Fame, most notably Bill Cosby.

The anonymous artist says he's not done with his mission to preserve Trump's star. "Rip up the president's Walk of Fame star or try to have it removed - like you're the mayor of West Hollywood or something - and 30 more will pop up," the artist tells The Hollywood Reporter.

The artist and his cohorts, who call themselves "The Faction" and are allies of prolific conservative artist Sabo, spent $1,000 on the stars, which they printed on sheets of floor vinyl with adhesive backing, and their mission was partially financed by "a young and anonymous entrepreneur."

Push To Save Dying Pods

Orca

Seattle's orcas are dying. That they are dying publicly and painfully may save them.

First was Tahlequah's calf. Born on 24 July, she died minutes later. Tahlequah buoyed her for a week before mother and calf disappeared.

Then came news Thursday that another young orca, Scarlet, appeared to be dying. Monitors had lost track of Scarlet, who was found alive with her mother Tuesday night by marine biologists who were considering delivering salmon and medical treatment to the ill whale.

At last count, 75 orca live in the Salish Sea, the saltwater trough stretching from south of Seattle up the eastern coast of Vancouver Island. They're a tight knit, talkative bunch; unlike their seal and shark-eating cousins, they chirp incessantly. They are stressed, and they are starving.

Deafened by sonar and boat noise, they hunt for fish that are too few in number. With each Chinook salmon they catch, they poison themselves a bit more; pollution in the Pacific accumulates at the top of the food pyramid. And their calves are dying.
