It’s “World Plumbing Day”… So if you see a Plumber cracking a smile today, you’ll know why!

*****

At the White House Press Briefing yesterday, reporters asked two questions about President Biden’s Dogs, followed by one about when the First Family will get the Cat they promised during the campaign.

- There haven’t been questions this hard hitting at a Presidential Press Conference since Jimmy Carter was asked for comments about his brother Billy peeing on the airport runway. (True!)

- All this animal talk reminds me of the old Peter Sellers bit… He walks into the lobby of a Inn to get a room and sees a dog laying on the floor. He asks the Innkeeper, “Does your dog bite?” The innkeeper says no. Sellers bends down and pets the dog who proceeds to bite him. Flustered, Sellers says, “I thought you said your dog doesn’t bite?” - to which the Innkeeper responds, “That’s not my dog!”

*****

A Florida woman was arrested for attacking her roommate after she played the Disco song, “Le Freak,” over and over again.

- I’m not one for violence, but I’m with the “attacker” on this one. (I can relate to to the Florida woman… There were two songs that drove me up the wall that our Program Director sheuduled on the playlist over and over… “Midnight at the Oasis” by Maria Maldaur and Minnie Ripperton’s “Loving You”).

Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Friday!

RIP… Art Cervi… aka Bozo the Clown has died from Cardiac problems at the age of 86. I first met Art back in the ‘70’s - and recently spent some time with him at the Robin Seymour Tribute in September of 2020 where the picture below was taken. About two weeks ago I heard he was ailing and gave him a call. He sounded a little weak - but was still upbeat. Just days later, I was shocked to get the call that he had passed away. My heart goes out to his wife of 47 years, Suzie and the family.

*****

Jackie here… I have two vivid memories of “Bozo” and his show… that came decades apart. The first was when my Brownie Troop won the Lottery… that is, we got tickets to appear on the Greatest, Most Important TV show in all of our lives…. BOZO!!! With freshly ironed sashes, we sat spellbound on the bleacher seats watching our hero walk around the set with his Big Nose, Big Shoes and even Bigger Hair. When his assistant, Mr. Whoodini handed out the “Lucky Numbers” that would determine who won the Coveted Treasure Chest full of riches (Orange Crush, a Giant Tootsie Roll and a Hula Hoop!) we were literally trembling. I got #17 (my favorite number!!!) and waited on the edge of my seat for Bozo to put his gloved hand into the Velvet Bag and announce to the world that I had won!! That the Orange Crush… Giant Tootsie Roll and Hula Hoop were Mine!!! Then, seconds before the drawing, the girl sitting next to me who shall remain nameless (Mary Witt) grabbed my #17 and gave me HER number… #18. Before I knew what was happening… Mary was rushing down to meet Bozo and collect her bounty - proudly waving #17. Let’s just say “Orange” wasn’t the only thing “Crushed” that day.

Many years later I was filling in on the Radio for my Dad and during a discussion about Scary Clowns on the air with Big Al, I admitted that I’ve always been scared of all Clowns. (C’mon…I didn’t even wear THAT MUCH make up to my Wedding). As the rest of Purtan’s People laughed at me, the Hot Line rang in the studio. I picked up the phone and a very upbeat, friendly voice said “Jackie?” “Uh, yes” I said hesitantly “. “It’s me… Art Cervi… Bozo the Clown! Don’t be afraid of Clowns! I love you!!!”

And just like that, my fear of clowns went out the window. Bozo loved me! And… to this day, I Love Bozo.

*****

Jackie’s story reminded me of something Art told me one time. He said that when he died, they’d have a heckuva time getting the casket closed because of his big shoes!

As Art said at the end of every show…“Remember, Just Keep Laughing!!!” Have a great day and I’ll see you back here Tuesday!

Two Florida women aged 34 and 44 dressed up as “grannies” – wearing bonnets and gloves – in a failed attempt to pass as old enough to be eligible for coronavirus jabs. WFTV, an ABC-affiliated TV station in Orlando, reported that the pair had valid vaccine cards after having their first shots, but were denied their second ones.

According to Greyson’s research, near-death experiences are fairly common. Some 10 percent to 20 percent of people who come close to death report them — about 5 percent of the population at large.

The analysis also found poor and uneducated people are more likely to get the virus - partly because they don’t wear glasses as much.

According to the report, published in India, people touch their faces 23 times an hour and their eyes three times an hour on average.

Lead researcher Amit Kumar Saxena wrote: “Transmission occurs by touching the face, nose, mouth and eyes.

“Touching one’s nose and mouth is significantly reduced when wearing a face mask properly. But wearing a face mask does not protect the eyes.

“Touching and rubbing of the eyes with contaminated hands may be a significant route of infection for the virus.

“The risk of Covid-19 was two to three times less in the spectacles-wearing population than the population not using spectacles.

The idea is not new: Charles Darwin hypothesized that humans evolved a sense of disgust to help avoid tainted food, but this is the first study to have directly tested whether greater pathogen disgust sensitivity is associated with fewer current infections, according to a Washington State University write-up on the study.

Aaron D. Blackwell, an associate professor of anthropology at WSU and co-author of the study, said participants from three indigenous Ecuadorian Shuar communities were asked to rate their level of disgust on things like touching a dead animal, stepping in animal droppings or drinking a fermented corn drink, chicha, made in this instance by someone with rotten teeth chewing the corn and spitting it into water to let it ferment.

“The higher the level of disgust, the lower the level of their inflammatory biomarkers indicative of infections,” he said. “While the study shows that disgust functions to protect against infection, it also showed it varies across different environments, based on how easily people can avoid certain things.”

Yesterday, Broadcasting lost one of it’s legends with the passing of Conservative Icon Rush Limbaugh who was taken by Cancer at age 70.

Sometime after Rush’s show went coast to coast, I went to hear him give a speech at the Michgian Inn in Southfield. After his speech I went up to the Podium - where he was thanking people for attending, I introduced myself as “Dick Purtan from WXYZ radio” and told him how much I enjoyed his speech. Rush looked at me - stepped back a bit - and much to my amazement said, “You’re my hero”. And then he told me a story. Turns out the station managers at his ABC owned radio station in Pittsburgh were making him listen to tapes of my ABC owned station WXYZ in Detroit. He said they wanted his show to be more like mine. He said he had listened to those tapes which apparently led to his reference to me as his hero.

Years later, Rush mentioned me on his show a number of times. He said listening to tapes of my show had thought him how to connect and entertain his audience.

One of those times, my Dad happened to be listening in Buffalo. I think that was the moment my Dad was finally happy with my decision to go into Radio - and not into the furniture and mattress business with him. For that alone, I owe Rush a debt of Gratitude.

No matter how you felt about his viewpoints, even Rush’s harshest critics agree that he was an incredible Broadcaster. His talent was partly a gift (His ability to talk for hours can’t be learned - nor can the power of his booming voice) and partly honed by his years on Top 40 Radio (Know when to get in, when to get out… keep it short, and talk about things that are relatable to your audience).

For Rush, it proved to be a Powerful Broadcasting blend that breathed life back into AM radio which had been on life support since the stereo sound of music on the FM band had taken the country by storm.

And Rushes show - from Noon to 3pm - also revived a time slot long considered to be an afterthought in Radio.

Millions of like-minded conservatives turned to him for his thoughts and opinions on what was going on in Washington and around the country. Politics and Social Issues were his bread and butter - and his ever growing audience tuned in for his “Common Sense” take - often deadly serious, sometimes humorous and satirical - on the State of our Union.

Interestingly, many people who DISAGREED with his take listened with almost as much fervor as those that Agreed with him. How would they know they didn’t like what he had to say if they weren’t listening?

From those that loved him and what they considered his “Voice of Reason” approach to real life in America, you’d hear “Did you hear what Rush Said!” From those that found him offensive… “Did you hear what Rush said???” Same sentence, different meaning. Only a true icon can create that much passion on both sides.

For three hours everyday, Rush talked about the things on America’s mind. And he did it in an always interesting, consistently entertaining, remarkably relatable and - yes - many times controversial way - deepening on YOUR point of view.

For millions of Conservatives - half of this Country - Rush told it like it was. He said things many were afraid to say lest they be called out as Racist or Sexist or any of the other “ ist“ labels thrown on people so casually these days. He believed - and there were millions who agreed and still agree with him - that our country had more pressing things to worry about than the number of mandated Gender-Bending bathrooms in Shopping Malls or whether Men, too, can have babies.

He believed (as do I) that America may not be perfect, but it is hands down the greatest country on Earth. He stood up to the Cultural Elites in Manhattan, Hollywood and on TV who spend their days telling us what a horrible place America is…that we need to apologize for virtually EVERYTHING that America has done and stood for since it was founded… and even before that! He thought it wrong to remove hundreds-years-old statues and “Un-do” our history instead of learning from it. He railed against corruption and championed traditional American Values - Compassion, Civility, Decency, Hard Work, Self Reliance and good old fashioned Love of Country.

His death has left a gaping hole in the American discussion of Who We Were, Who We Are and Who We Want to Become. Love him or hate him… you have to respect and appreciate his talent and his impact.

How do you replace that?

-Dick

One of those people who just can’t be replaced.

All the naysayers - who continually tell us that America is a horrible place. It’s the best of the rest. And Rush knew that.

Cultural Elites. Twisted morality on us. Not morality at all.

Middle Americans resent the same condescension that Hollywood and Manhattan elites.

Appreciaton for the values that most of us… Civility, mutual respect, a semblance of decency and a little old fashioned love of country.

Rush built a forum for Millions of conservative.

Strongest voice of conservatives.

From a Broadcasters standpoint, his very strong voice represented half of the voices in this country.

Common sense. Brought back radio - AM at the time was a dead medium -

Conservative talk filled AM - Music on FM.

Saved AM radio. Gave people a reason to go to the radio during the afternoon (Noon to 3).

Saved the weak time period. (Noon to 3).

The strongest voice to re reckoned with.

Rush didn’t consider his show just serious - funny too - to be who did agree with him.

If if they disagreed with him at times.

Brought back civility and mocked the craziness on the left. Attacked the BIG problems that mattered. Not how many.

1951 to 2021.

Gave a different report on things that we were hearing from Washington, D.C.

Tried to mix fun in with straight stuff. Could talk for three straight ours.

So much of what we were left with - “On loan from Gawd”.

Disputed that there were more than two sexes. That men can have babies. COMMON SENSE.

Became a hero to many, many people who didn’t like statues being torn down. Said his show was “more than political”. Knew that you had to be funny at times…

Trained in Top 40. Understood how radio worked and how to attract and keep an audience.

Even during Chemo.

Pollical but also designed to be entertaining. Controversial subjects were often presented in entertaining way.

He was first and foremost a Broadcaster. You have to figure out what people are interested in and want to talk/hear about.

Personal…

Meeting him.

Rush gave a speech in Detroit at the Michigan Inn in his early days and afterward I went up to the podium where he was greeting people and thanking them for comments. I was the last guy in line.

Went up and introduced byself and how much I enjoyed speech.

WXYZ - Backed up from Podium. Said “You’re my hero”. How’d that happen…

“Well - told Dad a story that he had been. at KQV in Pittsburgh and that xyzzy in Dertoit was sending him tapes of Dad’s show and saying “This is what we would like you to do”. He thanked Dad for something he didn't even know he was doing. I’d never heard of him in those days. He was Top 40 then. Hadn’t started doing Politics yet.

ABC was trying to get him to be more entertaining on his show. (Put on calls??)

Learned his sense of timing and how to entertain and get out before it got boring.

Top 40 teaches you that.

XYZ was doing incredibly well. Morning and afternoon went to a 10 share with Dad. (Don’t need that).

Half the country has lost his spokesperson - the one they could always rely on to give the other side of the story. The one who refused to go along with this “Woke” stuff.

Helped America come to it’s senses -

Almost NO liberal stations on the air.

We are under attack from the outside (China/Russia)

And the inside…

Said he learned how to do radio and I was his hero.

Rush was one of two successful broadcasters who called me his

The blog you read on this page was originally created by my daughter Jackie and Myself was

Whether you agreed with Rush or not - he was an incredible broadcaster.

And I think it came from a natural talent that he learned - timing - He knew how to entertain. Make the content (political) intereting even though you may not have agreed with him. Your point of view.

You liked him if you agreed with him. Most likely didn’t if you didn’t agree with him.

Be fun . And if you can’t be fun… Be interesting. Informative and fun. Thought provoking. Said things that the left

Bernard Goldberg: The 110 People Screwing Up America.

Kept that voice even during Chemo.

One of those people who just can’t be replaced.

All the naysayers - who continually tell us that America is a horrible place. It’s the best of the rest. And Rush knew that.

Cultural Elites. Twisted morality on us. Not morality at all.

Middle Americans resent the same condescension that Hollywood and Manhattan elites.

Appreciaton for the values that most of us… Civility, mutual respect, a semblance of decency and a little old fashioned love of country.

Grandpa heard one of those times Rush mentioned him on the air. (A couple times on the air).

Local news station WFLA identified the man who ran onto the field during the fourth quarter of the game between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs wearing only a hot pink thong leotard and shorts as 31-year-old Yuri Andrade of Boca Raton, Florida. Andrade was booked under suspicion of trespassing before posting a $500 bond and being released Monday morning.

Andrade's run down the field ended with a tackle in the end zone from security, but CBS panned away from the stunt as it happened live. Nevertheless, people attending the game quickly spread footage of the stunt, and Kevin Harlan’s radio call of the incident went viral for his description of the streaking.

Andrade told NBC 6 that it was "kind of spur of the moment, a little bit of liquid courage and adrenaline rush" when he rushed onto the field. "It felt kind of like I was skydiving, so I rushed the field. The first thing I wanted to do was kiss Pat Mahomes on the cheek," he added. Andrade was also promoting the website of friend and social media personality Vitaly Zdorovetskiy, whose adult website name was written across Andrade's swimsuit.

"We've tried the Super Bowl four times - well, he's tried the Super Bowl four times - and I told him that if he bought me tickets, that I could guarantee him that I would streak on the field for him," Andrade said. He added that the stunt was "freezing cold," alleging that he was handcuffed for the first eight hours of his detainment before he was transferred to the police station, "where they were actually very kind and they were all laughing."

Andrade also claimed to have won $374,000 after betting on Sunday's game. SporstBetExpert shared a photo of Andrade on the field, claiming he'd placed a bet on someone streaking during the game. "Yesterday's Super Bowl streaker bet $50k on a prop bet at +750 that there would be a streaker at the SB," the company wrote. "Cost him $500 to get out of jail so he cleared $374k on the bet!" Andrade appeared to confirm the message in the comments, sharing the post and writing, "Dudes are good at math."

Congrats to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who blew out the Kansas City Chiefs, 31 to 9 giving Tom Brady a record 7th Super Bowl title out of 10 SB appearances… at the age of 43!! Regarding the Halftime Show…Somebody’s got some Splainin’ to Do… to me at least. A guy named the “Weeknd” and dozens of male dancers running around wearing some kind of Face-Mask/Jock Strap on their heads? Is this the new COVID thing? Last week they told us we should wear TWO MASKS… Now the 2nd one is supposed to be a JOCK STRAP??

The Game wasn’t nearly as good or competitive as everybody thought it would be. And neither were the commercials. They weren’t particularly funny and half the time I didn’t even know what product they were trying to sell. This is the first time I can remember actually taking a Bathroom Break during the Commercials.

Overall… Love watching Tom Brady and the Buccaneers… the Commercials and the Halftime Show… Not so much.

Over 100-million people were expected to watch the game. Unfortunately, the REFS were not one of them.

Budweiser sat out the commercials for the first time in its history. This was the year of CORONA in more ways than one.

There was a chance of rain before the game. But Tampa Bay is the strip club capital of the world, so they’re always making it rain!

Florida has more massage parlors than any other state in the country. And they were all pulling for Brady.

Unfortunately, a couple of them got flagged for ILLEGAL USE OF HANDS.

Trailing by three points with under a minute left, Team Ruff's Big Boss Paulie (American Staffordshire Terrier and Dutch Shepherd mix) sprinted for a touchdown as the clock ran out. Team Ruff defeated Team Fluff in a final score of 73-69 to win Puppy Bowl XVII.

Team Ruff's captain got a "Chewy Lombarky Trophy," but really, all the dogs won.

Sunday's event featured 70 puppies from 22 different shelters. Pups were split up into two teams and placed in a canine-sized football stadium to compete for "touchdowns." The event also featured a national anthem performance, a halftime show, play-by-play commentary and a "rufferee."

ESPN play-by-play announcer Steve Levy and "SportsCenter" host Sage Steele provided human commentary. Longtime friends Snoop Dogg and Martha Stewart served as hosts and Dan Schachner served as the game's "rufferee."

“I’d rather work with a talented asshole than a nice person without talent,” Rosen writes in “Ticking Clock” (St. Martin’s), out Feb. 16, his memoir about his career at “60 Minutes” and its competitors, ABC’s “20/20” and “Primetime Live.”

In 1997, as Chris Wallace prepared a story on comedian Chris Rock, his father derailed it — by convincing Rock to do a sit-down with him instead, since “60 Minutes” had better ratings.

“This was a betrayal on so many levels. I felt I had to call Mike,” Rosen writes.

“ ‘Mike, why would you rip off your kid?’ I asked.

“ ‘He’ll get over it,’ Mike replied.”

Rosen begged him to reconsider, saying, “Your choice is simple. You can have Chris speak at your funeral, or you can do the profile of Chris Rock.”

“Fifteen minutes later, Mike called. ‘I solved the problem. I gave the story to Ed Bradley.’ ”

Father and son did not speak to one another for nearly a year.

“I may have a scoop,” he went on. “It was very, very quick — don’t totally quote me on it — but it looked like he was wearing a ponytail. It looked to me, as a casual observer, that his hair had grown very long, and his hair was pulled back tightly by what I could only assume was a ponytail.”

Panama will next week reimpose nationwide curbs on movement by requiring men and women to carry out festive shopping on different days, the health minister said on Friday, imposing drastic measures following a surge in coronavirus cases.

he wide-ranging faculty demands include:

Hiring 12 full-time diversity officers, and multiple psychologists to support students “coping with race-based traumatic stress.”

Assigning a staffer dedicated to black students who have “complaints or face disciplinary action,” and a full-time advocate to help black kids “navigate a predominantly white institution.”

Paying the student debt of black staffers upon hiring them.

Requiring courses that focus on “Black liberation” and “challenges to white supremacy.”

Compensating any student of color who appears in Dalton promotional material.

Abolishing high-level academic courses by 2023 if the performance of black students is not on par with non-blacks.

Requiring “anti-racism” statements from all staffers.

Overhauling the entire curriculum, reading lists and student plays to reflect diversity and social justice themes.

Divesting from companies that “criminalize or dehumanize” black people, including private prisons and tech firms that manufacture police equipment or weapons.

Donating 50 percent of all fundraising dollars to NYC public schools if Dalton is not representative of the city in terms of gender, race, socioeconomic background, and immigration status by 2025.

PANAMA CITY, Dec 18 (Reuters) - Panama will next week reimpose nationwide curbs on movement by requiring men and women to carry out festive shopping on different days, the health minister said on Friday, imposing drastic measures following a surge in coronavirus cases.

The restrictions are similar to what the Central American nation imposed in worst-hit parts of the country in June.

"As of Monday 21, with the aim of reducing mobility, purchases will be made by gender," Luis Sucre, the Minister of Health, said in a televised message.

On Christmas and New Year's Day there will be total quarantine for both genders.

There have been zero links to coronavirus spread across any of Waffle House’s 2,100 U.S. locations, according to the breakfast chain’s CEO Walter Ehmer.

“We have proven, over these nine months, we have zero evidence of any spread being traced back to our restaurants for our people or our customers,” he said. “We’ve traced back all of our infections… and it all traces back to something away from the restaurant.”

The two largest planets in the solar system, Jupiter and Saturn, will do something later this month not seen since the Middle Ages: forming what looks like a double planet. This celestial event has been dubbed the "Christmas star."

"Alignments between these two planets are rather rare, occurring once every 20 years or so, but this conjunction is exceptionally rare because of how close the planets will appear to one another," said Rice University astronomer Patrick Hartigan in a statement.

I think it is clear that santa is a conservative. He never says "Happy Holidays". He says "Merry Christmas" no matter who it offends. He takes no public funds for his operation. Santa operates a huge factory right at the polar ice caps with no environmental concerns. He passes out gifts based on merit. His "naughty or nice" list shows that he has an objective moral compass and none of that liberal relativism. He uses endangered species, flying reindeer, to do his work obviously ticking off the PETA crowd. He loves cookies and his big belly shows he had no regard for Michelle Obama's healthy eating program. Have a merry Christmas

- And if you want to see a “Super Moon”… just look at a pic of Kim Kardashian’s butt. They’re all over the place.

*****

Speaking of Outer Space… "Star Trek” actor George Takei is under fire for a tweet implying that he wanted Sen. Marco Rubio to have an allergic reaction to the vaccine.

- Wouldn’t you think a guy who was on Star Trek would want everyone to “Live Long and Prosper”??

*****

The Government of Panama announced that men and women will only be allowed to shop on separate days to stop the spread of the Virus.

The Cleveland “Indians” will reportedly change their name to something less “offensive”.

******

Amazon’s new health-tracking bracelet - the “Halo” - comes with a microphone and an app that tells you if you haven’t exercised enough - and if thinks you’re too fat, it shows you a 3-D rendering of your near-naked body.

- It’s kinda like like going through the X-Ray Screener Machine at the airport… only with this thing you can keep your shoes on.

*****

The “Halo” even listens to your voice and will tell you if your tone is “Overbearing” or if you sound “Irritated”.

- We had a similar device when I was growing up… We called it “Mom and Dad”.

*****

Speaking of the Ex-Royals… Meghan Markle honored COVID-19 workers during a surprise appearance on CNN’s Heroes Special.

- The real story here is that they call any TV appearance by Meghan Markle a “Surprise”.

*****
