Picture Postcard: Soaring Cloud Eagle

No, Soaring Cloud Eagle is not an Indian chief. It is an amazing image of a cloud in the sky that I wish I took but instead I only found on the Coast to Coast web site, sent in by a listener.

Brilliant. I can look at that all day. It really does look like an eagle soaring through the sky. Those of you not from the US may not appreciate the sense of patriotism I feel right now. God Bless America!

And yeah, it also looks like a mural on the side of a van.

Popeye the Establishment Man

He is retired military yet still wears the uniform.
He has a short conservative haircut.
He eats his vegetables.
He resists change.
He is a one-woman man.
He stands up for traditional values.
He takes care of his father.
Even his tattoo is a sailor’s classic, an anchor.

The only thing that would make Popeye even more an establishment figure is if he beat up a hippie.

Ladies and Gentlemen, from 1959, here is Popeye beating up a hippie.
