Tom Lehrer has died at age 97. He wrote "Fight Fiercely Harvard" especially appropriate given what they are up against today. Download it and any other songs, albums, sheet music, & lyrics from his website where he put all his music on a while ago.https://tomlehrersongs.com/fight-fiercely-harvard/

Homeland Security's (sic) Noem on why armed troops are in LA: "We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership ...." Noem obviously believes in military might over democratic elections and thus is unfit for her office.

Tom Lehrer - Fight Fiercely Harvard
Of the wonderfully wacky singer/songwriters of my era perhaps none was more so than the Harvard undergrad and later Harvard & MIT mathmatecs professor Tom Lehrer. Here is a tune he penned in 1945 wherein he admonishes his schools athletic team to fight fiercely. He was a first class satirist as is demonstrated by this tune. Here is the official unofficial Harvard fight song. And if you are one who believes that Ivy League teams have had little impact on our society you don't know the work of Gary Trudeau. You don't know about Harvard beats Yale 29 - 29. Here is where you can learn about it: http://www.hulu.com/watch/189206/harvard-beats-yale-29-29

My favorite mayor needs to update her profile here. She is now the Mayor of El Cerrito, the first , and heads the first majority (actually 4 of 5) LGBTQ+ city council in the SF Bay Area.

In the spirit of sharing wonderful stuff with my wonderful friends, I just came across this which is absolutely fabulous.

And I promise I'll get organized here soon. But it is Thanksgiving week.
