Wow!

 

What will they think of next...?

I guess wait a week and we'll fund out.

 

...people in Haiti wait to cross into the Dominican Republic.....

 

...plane sitting on a flooded tarmac.....

So You Think You're Having A Bad Day?

 

The Kiss Of Life

Background story:

Photographer Rocco Morabito was in Jacksonville, Florida, when he caught sight of an electric company lineman who had been electrocuted and was clearly dangling from the pole.

Rocco quickly captured the moment before calling an ambulance. The unconscious man was soon rescued as another lineman climbed to give him mouth-to-mouth resuscitation.

This was when Rocco got the shot that won him the prize for spot news.

Tragedy By The Sea

Evident in this photograph is the pain that accompanies the loss of a child.

When this photo was captured on April 2, 1954, the McDonald family had just realized that their 19-month-old son Michael had drowned in the Hermosa Beach surf in California.

Los Angeles Times photographer John L. Grant, won the 1955 Pulitzer Prize for this photo.

Last Rites of Jose Rodriquez

Following the successful Cuban Revolution from 1953 to 1959 championed by Fidel Castro against the authoritarian government of Fulgencio Batista came the execution of thousands of Batista's soldiers.

Including Jose Rodriguez, whose final moments receiving his last rites have been captured in this photograph.

He was executed by firing squad after this picture - which won the 1960 Pulitzer Prize - was taken.

The Human Condition

This picture that shows refugees crossing a broken bridge during the Korean War went on to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1951.

These images showed the suffering and lives of war-torn victims, soldiers, and refugees.

This particular one shows North Koreans crossing the freezing Taedong River by holding onto broken pillars and rails of a damaged bridge. 

No Introduction Needed

Except maybe for Rod's wife, Alena....

And I Guess Not That Bad A Day

This little guy was stopped by the friendly cop from running into the middle of a busy parade and maybe hurting himself.

This won the 1957 Pulitzer Prize for just being kind of a feel good story.

Compared to a lot of the other dramatic - and often disturbing - Pulitzer Prize winners......

And I Thought It Was Just Me

 

I Hear Ya, Brother!

 

Sad But True.....

Happy Mother's Day - From Mutts

Great Cost Saving Idea!

 

Who needs expensive gravestones or urns when an 8 1/2 x 11 foolscap and some tape will do? 

Brilliant!

Hmmmm....Shouldn't They Be In A Highrise?

 

Not sure I'll be buying an elevator from these guys.

And You Thought You Were Having A Bad Day

And there's more.....

I love Canada!

 

Way to go, guys!

Let's see, Ontario has just under 15 million souls.  And just over 11 million are of drinking age.

So that would mean the average Ontarian would have returned....carry the 4, divide by something....150 containers each last year.

Okay, so that's not as impressive as I originally thought.

That's like one container every two or three days.  What? Who are these pikers?!

The guy in the picture - God bless his average upping soul - has at least 200 in that bag alone.  And I bet he comes in every day.

Those numbers are bogus.  It should be 1.7 Trillion. Now that's something to be proud of.  

Good On Ya, Girl!

By now just about everybody has heard of Caitlin Clark.  The Iowa Lady Hawkeye's - and all of college basketball's - super star.

She went first overall last night in the WNBA draft to the Indiana Fever.

Well she was on Saturday Night Live (full disclosure: no longer a fan of SNL.  Or women's basketball) and made a surprize appearance on Weekend Update.

Apparently the current host, Michael Che has been taking cheap shots at women's basketball all year.

So I guess Ms. Clark came on and gave better than she got. 

Before her arrival, and continuing his trend, Che made a joke - at Clark’s expense. He told the audience that the University of Iowa will retire Clark’s jersey — and replace it with an apron.

She came on and immediately stepped up to the plate.

“The Indiana Fever have the first pick in this Monday’s draft. A reminder that Indiana Fever is a WNBA team, and not what Michael Che gave to dozens of women at Purdue University.”

Booya!

Takes One To Know One

 

As many people already know - especially people in Chicago - it looks like the worst mayor in America is being investigated by the former worst mayor in America.

And that would be Chicago's former mayor Lori Lightfoot. 

And how do we know she was the former worst mayor in America?

It's almost impossible for an incumbent to lose the Chicago mayor's race.

I guess they figured who better to know a crummy mayor when they see one.

But in Lori's defence, the new mayor is even worse.

Unfortunately True - On Both Counts.....

 

And another adage I - and my buddies - are trying to follow.....

Of course, Clint is featured in this video as well.

Good Old Ziggy

 He just keeps plugging along.  And every once in a while.....

 

I Love America!

 

A divorce lawyer for $349?

Hot damn!  I'm a gettin' me a Dee-vorce!

Of course, if you can only afford a $349 divorce lawyer, you know it ain't gonna end well.

Well, for one of you anyway.......

Like this guy in today's paper.....
