It’s a socialist plot to teach kids blind obedience. Do what the country tells you, no matter what.

No really:

” Red Skelton”
That was humor. Not the modern pig $hit crap that is called humor.

Red Skelton was one of the few entertainers I’ve always held in high esteem. His rendition of the Pledge is a timeless classic to say the least.

Was so lucky to see him live back in college days at a college he performed at frequently (4 times, I think).

He did Guzzler's Gin, Mean Widdle Kid, Clem, did the Pledge, an energetic 'Best Of Skelton' for an hour, then took requests for another 25 minutes, then I got to meet him in a small group back onstage after he'd had a cool down. Came out with a cold towel around his neck and shook everyone's hand.

He and his wife's 60 Minutes interview was amazing, and of course DuhTube doesn't have it. If you can find it, fast forward to where they talk about how they treat people who cheat them for a 3rd time (forgiveness involves the first 2, but the 3rd time is excommunication).

Here's one of his last interviews where he talks about Ivanka and Donald Trump briefly.

As a room service waiter I met a lot of celebrities. He was one of the nicest people I ever met. He made little clown drawings on napkins and gave them to the waitresses in the coffee shop. Pure class.

Red’s variety show as the only one I enjoyed. A patriot.
