As many of y'all experience, time is tight in this modern age. Finding time for mashups seems a secondary concern to more important matters. Still, we bootleggers are having a great time devising new blends. I regard finding listeners to being akin to fishing. You need good bait & a good fishing hole. Then, you just got'ta wait. Here's a new batch of marvelous mashups that have caught the attention of my ear. I hope y'all get satisfaction from them, as well.
You can see from this small sampling that the flood of great mashups continues. I grant you that more are made than can be kept up with. I hope these 8 new tracks meet with your approval.
George Takei: The 'Star Trek' vision was hopeful. Trump's is the mirror image. (Washington Post)
As Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.) told the Senate this week, what is right still matters. The truth still matters. Most Americans still want to hear the truth. They still want President Trump to be held accountable, and many even want him removed from office for his actions. Overthrowing Trump is something we can achieve at the ballot box this November. We can find our way back to our familiar, normal universe.
Andrew Tobias Versus Tom
Tom: "Donald J. Trump is the most qualified person ever to become president. He has proven his ability with his accomplishments, even with the Democrats in full opposition. He already knew all the World and business leaders. He is genius at meeting. He never gives up, i.e. the wall, restricting 7 countries visiting the USA…and about to add more. The rallies are overflowing, everywhere he goes. He is stronger today than when he was elected. Unlike under Obama, the USA is truly respected around the world. Forget about what he says, watch what he does. HE FOLLOWS ALL ASPECTS OF THE CONSTITUTION. Democrats would like to destroy most of the Constitution.
Andrew Tobias: "Oy."
Andrew Tobias: Note to Bernie Bros
Glenn Price: "I was especially struck by this startling passage: 'It is, eventually, a legitimacy crisis that could threaten the very foundation of our political system. By 2040, 70 percent of Americans will live in the 15 largest states. That means 70 percent of America will be represented by only 30 senators, while the other 30 percent of America will be represented by 70 senators."
Schweigt stille, plaudert nicht (Be still, stop chattering), BWV 211, also known as the Coffee Cantata, is a secular cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach. He composed it probably between 1732 and 1735. Although classified as a cantata, it is essentially a miniature comic opera. In a satirical commentary, the cantata amusingly tells of an addiction to coffee.
Bach regularly directed a musical ensemble based at Zimmermann's coffee house called a collegium musicum, founded by Georg Philipp Telemann in 1702. The libretto suggests that some people in eighteenth-century Germany viewed coffee drinking as a bad habit. However, the work is likely to have been first performed at the coffee house in Leipzig.
The cantata's libretto (written by Christian Friedrich Henrici, known as Picander), features lines like "If I couldn't, three times a day, be allowed to drink my little cup of coffee, in my anguish I will turn into a shriveled-up roast goat".
Bach wrote no operas: the cantata was written for concert performance, but is frequently performed today fully staged with costumes.

Roy the Libtard in Tyler, TX said:
The Prussian king, Frederick the Great, condemned the increase in coffee consumption as "disgusting" and urged his subjects to drink beer instead. Fred employed coffee smellers, who stalked the streets sniffing for the outlawed aroma of home roasting. However such was the public outcry that eventually he was forced to change his mind. As a satire on the whole affair, Johann S. Bach wrote the "Coffee Cantata," a humorous one act operetta about a stern father's attempt to check his daughter's indulgence in the much loved Saxon habit of coffee drinking.

• Danielle Fishel, young actress in the TV series Boy Meets World, once had a jealous boyfriend while she was still in school. She had been going with her boyfriend for about three weeks, and when she was talking with a male friend named Matt whom she had not seen for a while, her boyfriend grabbed her arm and said, "What are you doing?" She explained that she was talking with a friend, and he told her, "You should not be over here talking, and all my friends want to know what my girlfriend is doing talking to another guy." Then he tried to pull her away. She told him, "Excuse me? You can tell your friends that if they have a problem, they're not part of our relationship. And if it's you who has the problem, you can turn around and say bye right now because I want to talk to Matt." That was the end of the relationship. And good riddance.
• Comedian Bob Zany once talked with a woman in the audience and learned that she had recently gotten engaged. He asked her, "When did you know he was the one?" She replied, "When the stick turned blue."
Crime
• Bruce Simms is a barber in Congress Heights, Washington, D.C. - a tough area. One night, he was robbed in his barbershop, along with everybody else. Two men wearing ski masks came in and ordered everyone on the floor. Mr. Simms had $1,500 cash money on him - $300 in one pocket for making change, and $1,200 in another pocket in case someone came along selling a stolen big-screen TV. He threw the $1,200 behind some boxes and dropped the $300 in front of him for the robbers to pick up. The robbers got his $300, his wallet, his watch, and his rings. Later, he found out that almost immediately after leaving the barbershop the robbers shot and killed a man. After they left, his telephone rang. He answered it, and his four-year-old daughter said, "Daddy, I love you." Mr. Simms started crying. He says, "I had almost left the shop ten minutes before those guys robbed us. If I had, I'd still have my stuff. But I would have missed out on a lesson: thingscan blind you, hold you back. This life is more than money or a watch or a few rings. I have a daughter … and she loves me. How much is that worth?" After being robbed, Mr. Simms got a new business card. It shows him kneeling in church at the altar. When people ask what his new business card is about, he replies, "It's about gratitude."
• Helena Rubinstein left Poland and traveled to Australia with 12 pots of facial cream that had been made by a Hungarian doctor. The Australian women liked the facial cream's effect on Helena's complexion, and Helena recognized a business opportunity. She became very, very rich through selling her cosmetics and through her determination - a trait that served her well throughout her life. When she was 94, some armed robbers broke into her apartment in Manhattan. She told them, "Go ahead and kill me - I am not going to let you rob me." The armed robbers ran away.
• Rebbe Wolfe used to pray every night and revoke his right to all his possessions, saying to God that everything he owned no longer belonged to him. Why? So that if a thief should come in the night and carry away some of his "possessions," the thief would not have violated God's law: Thou shalt not steal.
• Rabbi Levi Isaac of Berdychev was a good man who thought the best of others. Once, the good Rabbi heard a thief boasting to other thieves about how much he had stolen, and he said, "It is still a long time to Selichot, yet the man has already began to confess his sins."
Why is no one asking 'what will we tell the children'?

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, otherwise known as comedian Robert Smigel, took to Capitol Hill last week to cover the impeachment of President Trump for The Late Show With Stephen Colbert. Alongside actual reporters, Triumph repeatedly shouted questions at various players in the impeachment like Utah Sen. Mitt Romney and indicted Rudy Giuliani associate Lev Parnas.
Triumph even found himself in a live background shot on Fox News, and trolled ardent Trump defender and South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham live on CNN. While Graham was speaking about the impeachment trial, Triumph held up a sign behind Graham's head that read, "WILL LIE FOR RUBLES." Rubles, of course, being Russian currency.
Triumph particularly enjoyed trolling Graham. While Graham was passing by, Triumph yelled after him, "Sen. Graham, I saw the video of you wanting witnesses at Clinton's impeachment in the '90s. Why would you change everything about yourself and keep that haircut?" Another time, Triumph asked Graham, "Why do you look like every guy that saw the movie Cats alone?"
Triumph also went looking for Sens. Ted Cruz and Mitch McConnell but they were nowhere to be found.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus said goodbye to Veep last year - but in today's political climate, she still yearns for the comedy at times.
During an appearance on the Ellen DeGeneres Show on Tuesday, the actress joked about President Donald Trump (R-Inept)'s much-talked about tweet during the Super Bowl on Sunday, in which he mistakenly attributed the Kansas City Chiefs to the "Great State of Kansas" instead of Missouri, the actual state the Chiefs call home and where Kansas City is located.
"I'm not a football lover, so I was doing other things," said Louis-Dreyfus, 59, when asked if she watched the game. "However, I did see the tweet that Donald Trump put out. It is so extraordinary. The great state of Kansas! Kansas City, Kansas!"
"Yeah, he really gets this country," she sneered. "I thought that was absolutely incredible."
"I have to tell you, if I were doing Veep right now, it would be really fun to script those 12 minutes between him launching the tweet and it getting deleted," she said with a laugh.
Supporters are coming to the defence of Joe Biden after Sean Hannity attempted to criticise the Democratic presidential candidate for kissing his granddaughter on the lips.
On Monday, the Fox News host tweeted a link to an article about Mr Biden kissing his 19-year-old granddaughter Finnegan during an event in Iowa with the headline: "Biden awkwardly kisses granddaughter at campaign stop."
While the tweet prompted some to side with Hannity, others took the opportunity to point out that Donald Trump (R-Unfit) also kisses his relatives on the lips, including his adult daughters.
In response to Hannity's tweet, one person shared a photo of the president leaning in to kiss daughter Ivanka on the lips during an appearance in Manchester, New Hampshire. Another tweeted: "Do you mean creepy like this?" alongside a photo of a teenage Ivanka sitting on her father's lap and kissing his cheek.
Someone else used Hannity's question to reference Mr Trump's past comments about his daughter, writing: "As creepy as Donald Trump saying he'd date his own daughter."
Sumo is coming - well, almost coming - to the Tokyo Olympics.
Knowing it may have the world's attention, the Japan Sumo Association and local Olympic organizers are planning a sumo tournament on Aug. 12-13, just days after the Olympics end.
The event was announced on Tuesday and is designed to bring more attention to the Japanese sport. It will be part of a local cultural festival and will take place at the Ryogoku Kokugikan arena, sumo's spiritual home in east Tokyo.
The roots of sumo can be traced back to the Shinto ritual for a good harvest in the 8th century. It later was used as martial arts training for samurais before becoming entertainment for ordinary people during the Edo period, 1603 to 1868.
The Edo period brought the introduction of stylized rules including the art of entering the ring, the use of loin cloths, topknots and kimonos, as well as fighting regulations.
A Berkeley elementary school is being billed by Disney's licensing agent for showing the Lion King remake.
The Parent Teachers Association at Emerson Elementary was billed $250 for screening the movie during a school fundraiser, Berkeleyside first reported.
Movie Licensing USA, the agency with whom Walt Disney and other major film studios contract, told the PTA and the school's principal that watching the movie violated copyright law because the school had not obtained a Public Performance license.
Such a single-use permit costs $250, or schools can pay $536 for an annual license.
The licensing company had "received an alert" about the movie night, which was hosted by the Emerson Dads Club. The father bought the movie at Best Buy and the gathering was for to watch the film and eat pizza while their parents got a night out of affordable babysitting.
A female cat in Russia that lost all four of her paws to frostbite can walk, run and even climb stairs again, thanks to the veterinarians who replaced her missing limbs with 3D-printed prosthetics made from titanium.
The hardy gray feline, named Dymka ("mist" in Russian), is about 4 years old. A passing driver found her in December 2018 in the snow in Novokuznetsk in Siberia and brought her to a clinic in Novosibirsk, according to Russian news site Komsomolskaya Pravda.
Dymka was suffering from frostbite of her paws, ears and tail - so much so that veterinarian Sergei Gorshkov had to amputate those damaged extremities, The Moscow Times reported.
During the punishing Siberian winters, veterinarians at the Novosibirsk clinic typically treat at least five to seven cats due to frostbite in their paws, ears and noses, Gorshkov told The Moscow Times. Frostbite develops when cold temperatures freeze skin and tissue, particularly in extremities. In severe cases, the tissue dies and requires amputation.
Gorshkov and his colleagues at the clinic collaborated with researchers from Tomsk Polytechnic University (TPU) in Tomsk, Russia, to create a set of prosthetics for Dymka. The scientists developed and applied a coating made of calcium phosphate to help mount the titanium implants that were inserted and fused into her leg bones, and to minimize the risk of infection and implant rejection, TPU representatives said in a statement.
Archaeologists claimed Tuesday that a Neolithic well found in the Czech Republic was the world's oldest uncovered wooden structure, citing extensive tests.
"We have carried out a dendrochronological analysis and confirmed it with radiocarbon dating," said Jaroslav Peska from the Archeological Centre in the eastern Czech city of Olomouc.
"The well dates back to 5,256-5,255 BC. There is currently no older man-made wooden structure dated by dendrochronology in the world, although this may change in the future," Peska told AFP.
Originally about four metres (yards) deep, the well was found in 2018 at the site of a future motorway about 120 kilometres (75 miles) east of the capital Prague.
