One of the Funniest TV Shows of all time - "Curb Your Enthusiasm"

If anyone questions why Larry is so abjectly messed up, one only need to take a good look at his "Curb" father, Shelley Berman. What a great scene here below:

Yes T.A., I have been to The Wall - twice.

Shortly after I became a Beaufort County Commissioner, ins 1995, I was with a delegation of North Carolina officials, who were flown up to Andrews AFB in a C-130.

We were given: a private tour of the Pentagon; the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier's Changing of the Guard; and finished at The Wall. More than once that day, I wiped a tear from my eye.

If anyone thinks that I take that whole Patriot thing way too far, this trip to memorialize our greatest Patriots, is, in part, to blame. Standing there at the ominous Wall, watching the Changing of the Guard, standing at the foot of Lt. Audie Murphy's grave, I pledge to serve with dignity all the while I was allowed to as a county commissioner.

About 19 years later, serving with dignity became a liability in the Beaufort County Republican Party, so all thing must come to an end, however, doing my small part to honor all Patriots, who served and sacrificed so much, gave me the opportunity to, in some small way, join the ranks of what means to be a Patriot.

That trip to The Wall offered me the unique perspective to help put me on the proper path, here, in this awesome regard.

One of the great Civil Stories. Thanks B.T.

And even then, it did not always work out. Kind of like now.

I am more inclined to appreciate the approach of Devin Nunes in the house.

So far the Senate committee has revealed nothing. The House Select committee has revealed Susan Rice and Obama's involvement. That is the level of true bipartisanship that I can appreciate.

It is for Diane, the great Selfie Queen and esteemed contributor of BCN.

As long as Diane sends posts, and selfies, I will be happy and proud to publish both.

You know Ted, some folks just can't take a joke.

Some workplace harassment is serious, but, much of the PC outrage is just silly.

Thanks for standing up to it, and effectively telling them to kiss your ass.

Bill Ed was a good friend from my youth, making this one obituary especially difficult for me to process.

May God bless Bill Ed's immortal soul.

Excellent Analogy Bobby Tony, only, I started with this back in 2009, which makes this about an 8 year ongoing venture, so I was about 54 years old when I began.

Colonel Sanders owned his secret recipe, and I own the distinct, unique code for two content management systems (CMS): Symbiotic Publisher, which powers BCN; and Symbiotic Core Systems, which will large, multidimensional site. Yes, there is a big brother to the system that powers BCN so effectively.

The biggest difference between me and the Colonel is that everyone understands food, few people understand how to be effective on the internet.

Facebook does not help with its often inefficient, dumbed down site; and the stupefying, charlatan practice of Search Engine Optimization.

Now, if I can sell enough people being smarter about how they use the internet, you will be able to say that "I knew that guy when." Everyday, I wish that you and i will have that long of a life.

Here is a new site, in its infancy - just born - that employs the Symbiotic Core Systems CMS.

Part Cherokee from Georgia, now that explains it all.

And I thought Junior Sample was Georgia's greatest celeb.

I remember Claude Atkins growing up.

He may have been typecast as always playing the man in the midst of lesser men.

It sounds like here in real life, he got the girl. Another very interesting Bobby Tony story of an original life lived.

And Thank-you Gordon for the reflective, thoughtful comments on an issue that is very important to the betterment of society - the praise for what is noble and good and worthwhile.

If you still are located in northwest Georgia, BCN welcomes another addition to what I like to refer to as our Georgia Mafia.

Man, this video brings back so many memories.

This is tune has a big part of what rock 'n' roll should always be - you got to have the rhythm first; then your build from there ... if you must.

You would have like J. Geils. They had a smok'n' harmonica player named Magic Dick, and the lead singer, Peter Wolf, was wide opened. He actually married Faye Dunnaway.

Durham has been yanked up by the scruff of its neck solely because of the Research Triangle, but, it is one of the most liberal counties in North Carolina, and there are many in this state.

North Carolina is barely a red state, even with the Democrat party intellectually imploding.

T.A., thank-you for your frontline perspective of your heady days as a young man, with his boyhood behind him, and his entire future as a man ahead of him ... but, if only you could have seen past your daily struggles just to survive to know that you would be forever changed, forever imbued with knowledge that most will never know.

Thank-you for your service.
