Believe me, since both Sheila Jackson Lee and Maxine Waters are both getting up in years, there has to be some kind of replacement ready to step in.

Frederica “Flip” Wilson, almost ready for prime time. And there are others, now in state legislatures, that are being groomed for the role.

Fortunately, Nancy Pelosi is good to go for another 20 or 30 years.

Are you saying Sally Starr should have tried suing Frederica Wilson?

Maila Nurmi sued Cassandra Peterson, and failed.

I grew up watching Sally Starr every day. Her and Gene London, followed by Wee-Willie Webber.

Adulthood smacked me right between the eyes one day while riding my horse past a very reputable and expensive dry-out farm (before we renamed them rehabs). I was cutting thru the grounds and came upon Sally Starr sunning on her back deck to her villa suite. She looked rough, but was the ever so gracious lady in her warmth and kind words. Considering her situation, I am today so impressed. What an awful thing for her to deal with? I was only 15 and didn't realize her privacy was crucial? She patted my horse in her bath robe and wished me well. I wished her well too. My parents told me to keep it to myself, as she was a great and respected lady.

From sunshinestatenews.com

“With the 114th Congress coming to a close, U.S. Rep. Frederica Wilson, D-Fla., advanced one of her chief legislative priorities this week as the U.S. House passed her measure to take on Boko Haram.

Wilson sponsored a measure mandating the State and Defense departments hammer our a five-year plan to aid the Nigerian government and other international partners battling Boko Haram which is responsible for 20,000 deaths and for creating a refugee crisis in Nigeria.”

Isn’t that where this soldier was?

Oh the irony!

Philly must have had some decent tv back in the day. Last year, in a USENET group, probably RAT, John Zacherle's passing was noted, along with links to samples of his show.

Growing up, we had Sir Graves Ghastly intro'ing movies.

Great to hear from another Greater Delaware Valley native. No longer there but was born and raised in South Jersey. We watched our gal Sal every day. Went to the studio for her show a couple of times when I was really young. Speking of Wee Willie Weber, my sister won a contest he ran when the Lindenwold High Speed Line opened up. She got to be on his show, her and my dad rode the maiden trip on the Line with Weber (He escorted them to the studio) and she won a $150 gift certificate to Toys R Us. I'm guessing that was around 1970. She got a ton of new toys with that!

Yeah Sally had a drinking problem. She came to our 4th of July Parade and cookout in Merchantville several years in a row. I remember hearing my dad tell my mom after the last one that she was smashed. But she was always a lovely lady. She would pose for pictures with the kids and sign autographs for hours.

I lived about six blocks from the Chanel 17 Studio. We were on Webber's show several times. 1967-ish thru 1975.

"All Righty Rooneys".(Starr) Webber had give away contests and drawings for clothes, toys, coats, and you name it?

Fun stuff, when as kids we roamed free and lived a Tom Sawyer-ish wild streak as long as your parents didn't get any complaints. We used to play archery golf with compound bow and arrows. Par 5 to drive a tennis ball from 25 yards into a briefly stopped car at the street stop sign. Ride horses all over God's creation at all times of the day and night. Left the house by 9:00AM in the summer and would squeak back just in time for dinner, then play kick the can or half ball until we slept on someone's back porch in sleeping bags.

Oh how times have changed.

Yeah...times have certainly changed. We left the house after breakfast and came home for dinner all summer long. My parents would probably get arrested for that today. After dinner we could stay outside until the street lights came on. we had all the freedom we could possibly want as long as we were home on time for dinner and when those lights came on. My father enforced those two rules with an iron fist...or rather a leather belt!

Yeah, I count myself extremely fortunate that I grew up in those times.

These days, "parents" (or more appropriately, "gene co-donors") wrap their kids up in a bubble, shove a smartphone into their hands and a TV screen into their faces, give them trophies just for showing up, and protect them from the logical consequences of their actions.

It's the parents of these kids who need an ass-whuppin' and not the kids themselves. The kids are just gonna need decades of de-programming.

Sounds very much like my Summers as a kid. Up and out at 7am. Walking to various fishing spots. Lunch was what you caught. Hiking about town looking for a place to set up a camp for our tent. Doing some chores for local ranch owners so he’d let us ride his horses for a while. Back in time for supper, washed and presentable.
