No More Jackie?

♠
I was thinking that it was just a holiday vacation, but it seems that "Despierta America" has done away with the chesty Jackie Guerrido, and with all weathergirls, period, as they just show a plaiin weather map again, today. There used to be a time when the achorettes were hot and working it, but that went a long time ago. So, they do not have anything for Monk anymore.

Well, there is always the trusty porn channel. They are airing the classic "Big Natural Breasts 6." Much bouncy goodness!

Happy Birthday, Elvis

♠


Some adult Americans pretended not to be upset by the frenzy surrounding rock 'n' roll. Like many fads, it might go away. (Elvis, they said, was not so bad - he bought houses for his parents, said his prayers, and did not smoke or drink.) But there was no doubting that the popularity of rock 'n' roll exposed the nascent rise of a sometimes restless “youth culture.” And many older people openly revealed their sense of alarm. A psychiatrist, writing in the New York Times, proclaimed that rock 'n' roll was “a communicable disease” and a “a cannibalistic and tribalistic kind of music.” The racist metaphors here went unchallenged. Another critic, writing to a Senate subcommittee on delinquency, lamented that “Elvis Presley is a symbol, of course, but a dangerous one. His strip-tease antics threaten to rock-n-roll the juvenile world into open revolt against society. The gangster of Tomorrow is the Elvis Presley type of today.”

-- James T. Patterson, Grand Expectations: The United States 1945-1974

Little Mosque on the Prarie

♠
Canadians are one-upping us again on multi-culturalism. They are airing a new show that apparently makes a combination of "All in the Family" and "Beverly Hillbillies" out of the experience of Muslims living in Western society titled "Little Mosque on the Prarie."

As I was reading about it, I was thinking they might be in for some serious confrontation from fundamentalist Muslims, and the article addresses that issue, and one hopes they are right that our concerns are misplaced, though our concerns are certainly not irrational given recent history.

James Bond and Nina Zero

♠
It is only Monday, but Monk is already thinking about what books to order on Grocery Day. He could use some guilty-pleasure fun books, but the Hard Case Crime books are not looking appetizing, nor are the other similar noir books.

Then Monk remembered that he was interested in trying "Casino Royale," spurred by the new Bond movie, and hearing that this is Ian Fleming's first James Bond novel, and that as such it is the best, before the series becomes formulaic and bland, that this one is more like a genuine novel, it sounds worth a read.

Monk also remembered that he is carrying on an affair with Nina Zero, and that it is about time he dug back into that series. I gather "Shooting Elvis" is the first one, and that looks good to me.

They are both cheapies, too. So, it looks like a plan.
