A nightly pause from the news to give the reader/viewer a bit of classic entertainment.
An evening pause: The performances here are quite spectacular, but as the youtube link notes, they are also “creepy as hell.” Ask yourself repeatedly if you haven’t become one of these North Korean kids when you vote this coming Tuesday.

An evening pause: With the election less than a week away, I think this comedy speech by George Carlin sums up the fundamental dishonesty of the modern Washington establishment politician, from both parties. And though he is quite funny, I couldn’t help thinking of what Robert Heinlein said: “We laugh because it hurts.”
Let me also add that when we vote next week I think it most important to consider which politicians most remind you of the dishonest corrupt liars Carlin so ably describes. That should help you realize who you shouldn’t vote for.

An evening pause: For Halloween. Are you sincere?
An evening pause: While I am sure there are engineers out there who can explain how the interaction of the vibrator with the plate causes the patterns, I look at this from my more philosophical side, and note how this experiment reveals very simply how the universe is filled with hidden wonders and patterns that challenge us as humans to uncover.

An eveing pause: I like the feeling that this is entirely spontaneous, even if it isn’t.

An evening pause: Written by Dirk Farrelly in 1950 while on a bus heading to Dublin, the song invokes the longing of an immigrant far from home.
And when the moonlight peeps across the rooftops,
Of this great city, wondrous though it be,
I scarcely feel its wonder or its laughter…
I’m once again back home in Inisfree.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
<An evening pause: A very nice performance of Elton John’s song. I just wish they had dumped the shots of astronauts in space and stuck with the musicians. Their playing is far more interesting to watch.
