Woody Allen & William Buckley do comedy together
An evening pause: This isn’t sixties pop music, but it is definitely the 1960s, especially if you look at the clothes. It also takes us back to a time when Woody Allen was actually funny. It is a clip from a 1967 Woody Allen television special.
Hat tip Charlie Tutino.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

“Michael Malice on William F. Buckley and Other Villains”

Notice the civility of the discourse and the fact that William F. Buckley’s conservatism led to great prosperity. My fellow conservatives need to be civil, truthful, logical and love our fellow man as God does, especially when it is difficult to do so. Set the example so that we may continue our civil society.
As a measure of WFB’s greatness, I can remember when Buckley endorsed Democrat Allard Lowenstein in an election, saying he’d rather have an honest Democrat in the position rather than a hack like his Republican opponent.
“William F. Buckley, a conservative icon, endorsed Lowenstein when he ran successfully for the U.S. House of Representatives from Nassau County, Long Island, in November 1968. Lowenstein’s profound intellectualism and sincere commitment to principle made him a figure to whom Buckley could easily relate. “
It should be noted, WFB was a particular Type of conservative and not necessarily aligned with some of us who have a more libertarian/anarcho-capitalist bent.

That was surprisingly funny. I wasn’t sure what kind of chemistry this very odd couple would have, but it worked It also shows the civility among two who had obviously differing political viewpoints.
