An evening pause: This seems a very appropriate evening pause to end my 10th anniversary July fund-raiser for Behind the Black.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann, who though not American truly appreciates the American concepts of freedom.
I think this video clarifies perfectly the policies of our state and federal governments as well as the advice of all of their experts concerning the Wuhan flu. If we would only do what they tell us, all would be fine!
It also illustrates why we as citizens should simply begin living our lives normally, telling them to go to hell.
An evening pause: To put it mildly, there is practically nothing in this song that is correct about Passover, except the title and the humorous indomitable spirit of the Jewish people.
For tonight, the first Passover Sedar.
An evening pause: Stay with it. It will soon remind you of modern DC politics.

An evening pause: Reminds me of every single commercial I see on television these days. Only smarter.
Hat tip Mike Nelson.
An evening pause: Good comedy never depends on crudeness. Sometimes good timing and a willingness to be silly is all you need.

An evening pause: Somehow to me this seems more appropriate the day after Christmas.
Hat tip Cotour.
An evening pause: John Cleese at his peak.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann, who noted that the kid reminded him of what we think of as the typical millennial. Is he right? I await some response from my younger readers.
An evening pause: This is entertaining, in that it demonstrates the ability of English to absorb an endless number of words, even words that are absolutely ridiculous. Most of these words are unknown because they are hard to say and their meaning can be stated more efficiently and simply using normal vocabulary. I must also add that Tharoor is a Indian politician from the socialist Congress Party, now the minority party in India with the rise the present conservative government under President Modi.
I am therefore not surprised that he is skilled with using big words that can help him obfuscate his meaning, while making him seem erudite.

An evening pause: This is just a bit of silliness with some nice music as well.

An evening pause: The pauses this week have gotten steadily sillier. I think this one is a good way to finish off the week.

An evening pause: A short section from the last Carol Burnett Show, March 29, 1978. Note how Tim Conway can make people laugh merely by pausing.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
A evening pause: Something short and silly for tonight. Don’t ask me to explain it.
Hat tip Frank Kelly.
An evening pause: From American Bandstand with Dick Clark, October 13, 1964. Perfect in anticipation of Halloween. And yes, believe it or not it was a pop hit in the mid-1960s.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
An evening pause: Stay with it, because after the music Liberace and Sammy Davis do some comedy and a dance number that is pure light-hearted entertainment, the kind of thing that was normal on television in the 1960s, and now seems so difficult for modern performers to achieve.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
An evening pause: If only we could always communicate this easily with government officials.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
An evening pause: Movies and television would never do things like this. Never!
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
An evening pause: From the Carol Burnett Show, a skit staring Don Rickles, Nanette Fabray, and Harvey Corman.
Hat tip Phill Oltmann.
An evening pause: The sad part is that there is a cut in the middle, which I think suggests they were forced to delete some really funny but probably risque stuff that was unacceptable for television.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
An evening pause: It’s been awhile since this group has been an evening pause. And here they do it all, at once.
Hat tip Tom Biggar.
An evening pause: Fans of the show will appreciate this more, but I like it because of its heart felt sincerity.
Hat tip Edward Thelen.
