Larry Harmon, who made clowning a business, has passed away at age 83. Mr. Harmon wasn’t the original Bozo, but entertained a generation of kids by licensing the Bozo name and likeness to local TV stations nationwide. Now, 50+ years later, Bozo is still a national icon.
So, RIP, Bozo. Rest in the knowledge that through your efforts, the name Bozo lives on. I deal with Bozos every day, none of whom wear clown suits. More’s the pity.

I’ve come down with the dreaded late winter/early spring cold. Several factors contributed to my current afflictions:
And for lack of treatment of the current condition, my everlasting love to the bozos and bozettes who are our elected Congressional representatives, for inserting a provision into some totally unrelated other proviso which now requires me to register to buy OTC medications like Sudafed, et.al.2
Ok, nuts to the lot of you. I have a warm blanket and single malt scotch.

Maybe I had too much of a baby plan. All I was able to do was ftp to their site. Where’s the mySQL? Where’s the PHP? Where is the user-friendly panel where I could manage my own account? Where’s the HelpDesk?
These bozos are outta here; I’m writing AmEx now, to guarantee no charges will ensue. Seriously, I didn’t just fall off the yam wagon, and am fully capable of managing my own stuff, but these guys really blow goats.
Maybe I should just pull the plug on this whole thing, and be a couch yam in front of the teevee.

According to Cato@Liberty, very few incumbents actually lost their offices last Tuesday. According to the post:
Consider that there were 435 races in the House and Senate with an incumbent trying to retain his or her seat. Only 26 – 6% — of challengers in these races have won. That’s pretty low for a “throw the bums out” election. Pending the outcome of three or four yet-to-be-determined races, this year’s 94% incumbent reelection rate appears to be slightly higher than the 90% rate of 1994.
So, before anyone celebrates “change”, “working in a bipartisan manner”, and other such-like euphemisms, remember that the new Bozos are a lot like the old. In most cases, it’s still the same Bozo. And we all know how that turned out.

I’m so sick of these off-topic, ad hominem “political ads”. One more week, then we wait for two more years for more of the same. I also hope that two years hence, we will have a new bunch of bozos to kick to the curb.
