I am sitting here sipping the finest beverage I have had in many a moon. I made it myself but I declare it the Nectar of the Gods. It's divine. I brewed it myself and feeling quite smug and superior about it. Here's how it went down.
I brewed the coffee - finely ground French roast in my espresso maker. I put the water in - no need for filtered either - I am living dangerously. The GENIUS element here is that I put the Hershey's chocolate syrup IN the carafe so the coffee brewed into the chocolate. Yessssssss.
Next I found a tall glass - GLASS. Not plastic. GLASS. A tumbler if you have it and luckily I did! Take the tumbler and fill it with ice. Crescent shaped ice. Does that mean something? No - just what the ice maker makes. It really doesn't matter - the key here is ice in glass.
Then I added 2 heaping spoonfuls of Saccharin. Yes that's right - the pink stuff. Scooped it right out there on the crescent ice. It was like a winter scene in the tumbler and quite a lovely reverie on such a hot day. But I digress......
I then poured the hot coffee - no! - the hot mocha - over the crescent shaped ice sprinkled with Sweet N' Low. The ice popped and crackled with joy at the warm liquid. I filled the tumbler with coffee and added a dash of low-fat milk. Gently stirred to blend and cool. HEAVENLY BEVERAGE!
There are times when my mad skills amaze even me.

Purple Gene Reviews
'Sullivan's Travels'
Purple Gene's review of the movie "Sullivan's Travels" (1941) view trailer
Directed by Preston Sturges:
Well it was Joel McCrea night on TCM last night and what a line up….we started things off with "Dead End" (Joel McCrea - Humphrey Bogart - the Dead End Kids). Next up the "Palm Beach Story" (Joel McCrea - Claudette Colbert - Rudy Vallee). Third up "Ride the High Country" (McCrea's aging cowboy character Steve Judd says to the holed up bad guys - "I wanna know if you red-necked peckerwoods are too chicken-gutted to finish this thing in the open?"(best line ever)). And finally…."Sullivan's Travels" ….a hilarious and riotous comedy with relevant social commentary…..sorta of "My Man Godfrey" meets "O Brother, Where Art Thou" !!!!!!!!
John Lloyd "Sully" Sullivan (Joel McCrea) - is a Big Time Hollywood movie director who has tired of turning out highly successful light weight Comedic Fluff films. Sully wants to become a BUM…..yeah…he wants to be a HOBO….he wants to feel the dirt of a drifter and the grit of a grifter…and make a movie about THAT. well his "tax write off" wife and his money grubbing business manager don't want the gravy train derailed and the studio exec's are dubious but want a documentary movie made …and Sully's Butler Burrows (Robert Greig - played the Butler in: "Love, Honor and Goodbye" - "Earl Carroll Vanities" - "Summer Storm" - "The Mad Martindales" - "Moon Over Miami" - "No Time for Comedy") is downright condescending about Sully's scheme! He scoldingly says "I've never been sympathetic to the caricaturing of the poor and needy…" But Sully perseveres and calls make-up and gets outfitted with ragged and tattered old suit so he can "blend in"…..He wants to travel "incognito" so he has his I.D. stuck in the sole of his shoe…
Sully makes his first "mission out into the "boonies" with the studio land yacht close behind his hitch hiking thumb….Well Sully gets picked up by a 14 year old farm boy who just stole a car and ends up crashing into a pile of hay…not working..so Sully wanders into the local café to get a cup of coffee and a doughnut with his last 10 cents…..he meets a disillusioned wanna be actress in an evening dress who has just left Hollywood penniless and disappointed. He calls her the "Girl" (Veronica Lake - "I Wanted Wings" - "I Married a Witch" - "Flesh Feast") and offers her a cup of coffee and a doughnut and they strike up an interesting conversation about Sully's clothes (and hers) and the café owner realizing that Sully has no money gives them the coffee and doughnuts FREE…..when Sully and the Girl leave they find the Studio Gang waiting in the Land Yacht and have them reward the café owner with $100 for his kindness and generosity and…head back to Hollywood…..
The Girl enjoys Sully's mansion and swimming pool and "ham and eggs" and they plan the next foray into trampville…..The Girl stuffs her lovely blonde hair (Veronica Lake's trademark) up under a little curmudgeon's hat and she and Sully head off to "Jump a Train"….the studio big wigs actually try to make reservations at the freight yard for Sully and the Girl to "Board"….they drive in the Limo to the spot where a hundred realistic tramps scurry and scamper along side the boxcars….Sully and the Girl struggle aboard a hay strewn cattle car and are off…the Girl is always hungry and doesn't really like sleeping in hovels but have a great adventure….and return to Hollywood. Sully is still unhappy with the experience and wants to go out on a third attempt…with the Girl (her hair still up in the hat)…well they end up in a Hobo jungle with separate quarters and group showers and mess halls but find themselves sleeping in a sea of squalor on the floor of the mission…the next morning Sully realizes some one has stolen his shoes…with the I.D. sewn into the sole…with only the crappy shoes the thief left behind, Sully and the Girl head home to Hollywood…. he being touted as the Prince of Poverty and the studio ready to make the movie "Oh Brother - Where Art Thou"…based on the experiences.
Sully decides to make one more trip amongst the tramps with $1000 in five dollar bills to reward all his hard luck friends. As he is about halfway through his rounds, the same thief follows him to the station, hits him over the head and robs him…as the thief runs off he drops some of the money on the tracks and greedily goes back to get it…and gets hit by a train and killed. Because the thief was wearing Sully's shoes, he is positively I.D.ed and the newspapers announce "Strange Death of Hollywood Director"….needless to say, everyone is devastated…except Sully's wife and his business manager (they immediately marry each other)…Sully wakes up in a daze with amnesia and gets beat up by a train bully and when he defends himself with a rock he gets arrested and sent off into the bayou to a work camp run by a sadistic asshole…for 6 years!!!!!!! When he finally remembers who he is…it's too late…nobody out here believes anything he says….
Momentary break in the review……
The following people were in this film as either unaccredited or as bit work:
Elsa Lanchester: "The Constant Nymph" - "Bride of Frankenstein"
Preston Sturges: Director/Producer/Script/Cameo
Frank Mills: "Drunk eating in the theater.
Jess Lee Brooks: Preacher at church showing movie
Arthur Hoyt: Preacher at the revival
Edward Hearn: Policeman at Beverly Hills station
These actors have been in over a thousand movies without their names showing!
There is a great scene where the prisoners on good behavior get to go to a black church to watch a Mickey Mouse and Pluto cartoon and Sully sees that the only saving grace for humanity is…..HUMOR….He happens to see a newspaper with his picture on the front page….so in order to get out of the prison crew he falsely confesses to murdering himself!
Cut to the final scene…after Sully gets back to Hollywood, falls in love with the Girl and doesn't want to finish the documentary "Oh Brother"…. he has learned what's really important….."There's a lot to be said for making people laugh. Did you know that's all some people have? It isn't much but it's better than nothing on this cockeyed caravan - Boy!!!
"Sullivan's Travels" was made when America was in the midst of the great depression and on the verge of WWII.
Purple Gene gives "Sullivan's Travels" 10 knee slapping hee haws out of 10 for being so poignant and funny!

CNN Suspends
Robert Novak
CNN suspended commentator Robert Novak indefinitely after he swore and walked off the set Thursday during a debate with Democratic operative James Carville.
The exchange during CNN's "Inside Politics" came during a discussion of Florida's Senate campaign. CNN correspondent Ed Henry noted when it was through that he had been about to ask Novak about his role in the investigation of the leak of a CIA officer's identity.
A CNN spokeswoman, Edie Emery, called Novak's behavior "inexcusable and unacceptable." Novak had apologized to CNN, and CNN was apologizing to viewers, she said.
"We've asked Mr. Novak to take some time off," she said.

Cover-up Exposed
Hiroshima
In the weeks following the atomic attacks on Japan almost 60 years ago, and then for decades afterward, the United States engaged in airtight suppression of all film shot in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the bombings. This included footage shot by U.S. military crews and Japanese newsreel teams. In addition, for many years, all but a handful of newspaper photographs were seized or prohibited.
The public did not see any of the newsreel footage for 25 years, and the U.S. military film remained hidden for nearly four decades.
The full story of this atomic cover-up is told fully for the first time today at E&P Online, as the 60th anniversary of the atomic bombings approaches later this week. Some of the long-suppressed footage will be aired on televison this Saturday.

Eighty-Year-Old Video Gamer
Doris Self
Doris Self is used to turning heads when she plays video games.
"To find an 80-year-old white-haired woman sitting at an arcade game, it amazes them," she said.
Self's expertise is even more remarkable. The Florida resident is headed to Croydon, England, later this month in search of a record Qbert score at the Classic Gaming Expo-UK.
Self first tried her hand at video games some 22 years ago in Plantation, Fla. Her husband had just died and she found herself with time on her hands. That changed one day when her daughter took her out to the movies and then pizza at a Chuck E. Cheese restaurant.

Producer, Daughter Found Dead
Terry Carr
A one-time Hollywood producer and his 9-year-old daughter were found dead in their car two days after vanishing and Lake County authorities on Thursday were investigating what they called a bizarre case.
The bodies of Terry Martin Carr and his daughter, Arieka, were found in their Jeep a day after Carr abandoned his wife at a grocery store in Ashland, Ore. and drove off with the girl.
Carr, 62, took off with the girl while his wife was in a grocery store restroom Sunday afternoon, Chica Carr told police. She said they had not been fighting.
"She said it was totally out of character, totally out of the blue. She was stunned," Jensen said. "She was stunned again when they delivered the news."Carr's Hollywood credits include serving as producer of "An Almost Perfect Affair" and "Coast to Coast," co-producer of "Predator 2" and "The Boost," and writing and directing "Welcome to 18." He also worked as a production manager or supervisor for the films "Jagged Edge," "The River," and "On Golden Pond," according to the Internet Movie Database.

In Memory
'Little' Milton Campbell
Blues singer, songwriter and guitarist "Little" Milton Campbell, whose gritty vocals and songwriting recalled B.B. King's rough-edged style, died on Thursday from a stroke, his record company said.
The 71-year-old Grammy-nominated guitarist and singer known for writing and recording the blues anthem "The Blues Is Alright" never awoke from a coma following a stroke he suffered on July 27 in Memphis, said Valarie Kashimura of The Malaco Music Group.
Born to sharecropping farmers near the Mississippi Delta town of Inverness -- his father, "Big" Milton Campbell, was a local blues musician -- "Little" Milton picked up a guitar at age 12 and recorded his first hit for Sam Phillips' Sun Records at age 18. It was the same year the Memphis label recorded Elvis Presley for the first time.
After signing with Bobbin Records in East St. Louis, Illinois, Campbell recorded "I'm a Lonely Man" and "That Will Never Do." A long association with Chicago's Chess Records produced the 1965 hit "We're Gonna Make It," which coincided with the civil rights movement. Other hits included "Baby I Love You," "If Walls Could Talk," "Feel So Bad," "Who's Cheating Who?" and "Grits Ain't Groceries."
"Annie Mae's Cafe" and "Little Bluebird" were hits he recorded with Memphis' Stax Records, which he joined in 1971 before the label's demise. Most recently, he recorded for The Malaco Music Group in Jackson, Mississippi, for whom he produced albums entitled "Your Wife is Cheating on Us" and "A Nickel and a Nail."
