RANDOM THOUGHTS: DIBLASIO

Bill de Blasio, New York CityMary had a little lamb. Its fleece was white as snow. And everywhere that Mary went, mint jelly was sure to go. It followed her to school one day and steak knives were generously provided to all the children. ... The year started off on a realistic note - I saw Alex Trebek trying to sell final expenses insurance to the New Year's baby of 2014. "It goes by quicker than you think."

RANDOM THOUGHTS: RUDOLPH

Rudolph and ClariceFormer Illinois Governor Rod Blogoyevich has filed what is viewed as a last-ditch appeal of his prison term for corruption. Even more galling to Blago than the 14-year sentence is that he has been forced to endure a number of bad-hair days. ... The news that the formerly powerful uncle of North Korea's president Kim Jong-un has been executed shook up some people. And you thought your family reunions were testy. Well, I bet his family won't be sending Christmas cards to the president. Apparently, the president felt insulted when his late uncle referred to him as "Lil' Kim". ...

RANDOM THOUGHTS: Desi and Lucy

Lucy and DesiSang in the chorus of the Mozart opera “La Clemenza di Tito” a week ago and it triggered the creative juices in me. I am writing the opera “I Love Lucy.” In the opening recitative, Ricky Ricardo (Desi) sings “Lucy, I’m Home”, followed by his plaintive aria “Who Wears the Pants in This Family?”  Later, Lucy rhapsodizes, "Alas, I have created confusion. Who shall save me?" while the chorus, led by singers playing neighbors, Fred and Ethel, sing, "It's a mess, mess, mess. It's a mess."

RANDOM THOUGHTS: JAMES TAYLOR

James TaylorI plan to download that new recording of James Taylor singing the National Anthem: "Oh beautiful for, wait a minute, Oh say can you see by the dawn's early, delivery truck, oh no, light." In a duet, Carole King will respond, "When you're down and out and you need a helping hand." ,,, TV movie channels are showing classic horror films in the build up to Halloween. In real life, many of the terrifying situations would be easily solved. For "Scarecrow", I'm thinking a couple of shots of Roundup would do the trick and in "Children of the Corn" some doses of Ritalin would have quickly defused tense situations. 

In a remake of "Halloween", actress Jamie Lee Curtis, in a reprise of her breakout role, takes care of her horrific stalker by giving him some Activia which makes him more regular and puts him in a better mood. ... I've got to stop shopping at both Walmart and K-mart. My Martha Stewart drapes and bedding from K-Mart attacked my Duck Dynasty gear from Walmart and ejected it from the house. ... I'm a bit suspicious of the healthcare website. It asked me "Does it hurt when you do this?" I answered "Yes" and it replied "then don't do this." ... Democrats have set up a haunted house in D.C. One of the scariest exhibits is a character dressed as Vice President Joe Biden running for president. Then there's the healthcare website ride. The lines are long because they keep having to stop and restart it.

Michael DouglasMichael Douglas and wife, Katherine Zeta Jones, who appeared headed for divorce, have apparently decided to salvage their marriage.
