Those judicial reforms down in Mexico
Those judicial reforms down in Mexico: Who knew that we’d be talking about an outgoing Mexican president and judicial reforms? Well, that’s where we are. In fact, Mexicans are deeply divided about it. There are marches expected next, as a Mexico…

Happy # 67 Gloria Estefan
We say happy birthday to Gloria María Milagrosa Fajardo García who was born in Cuba in 1957. We know her as Gloria Estefan. She and her husband Emilio founded The Miami Sound Machine and the rest is music history.

Back to school and a song about "September"
This is "See you in September" by The Tempos. It was included in the soundtrack of "American Graffiti"!
It is my favorite of the "school is over" songs. There is also a great version by The Happenings!
I look forward to September and a little relief from this heat.

"I'll be alone each and every night
While you're away, don't forget to write
See you in September
See you when the summer's through
Here we are saying goodbye at the station
Summer vacation is taking you away
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love?
Counting the days 'til I'll be with you
Counting the hours and the minutes too
Have a good time but remember
There is danger in the summer moon above
Will I see you in September
Or lose you to a summer love?"
Happy # 85 Rico Carty
We remember Ricardo Adolfo Jacobo Carty who was born in 1939 in San Pedro de Marcoris in The Dominican Republic.
We know him as Rico Carty who broke with the Milwaukee Braves in 1963. A year later, Rico hit .330 with 22 HR & 88 RBI. It was good enough to come in second to Richie Allen in the 1964 NL Rookie of the Year vote.
Rico had a lot of injuries but did win the 1970 NL batting title with a .366 average, 25 HR & 101 RBI. He spent much of the 1970's as a DH with Oakland, Cleveland and Texas.
Carty retired with a .299 average, 204 HR & 890 RBI. We can only wonder what his numbers would have looked like without the injuries.
September 1, 1963: Curt Simmons the last pitcher to steal home!
Wouldn't you love to see a video replay of that steal? Wonder if they have one somewhere?
Overall, he won 193, lost 183 with a very good 3.54 career ERA. He also completed 163 games. He started 2 games in the 1964 World Series.
Happy # 78 Barry Gibb
Today, we say happy birthday to Barry Gibb, one of our very favorite songwriters and performers of the pop/rock era. Barry was born in 1946.
We add that Barry and Linda were also married on this day in 1970. Happy anniversary to them!
Barry, and his younger brothers (Robin & Maurice), composed and recorded some of the greatest songs of the last 40 years! The Bee Gees sold over 200 million records during their remarkable musical career.
2005: Remember Katrina and the media
Back in 2005, the media went crazy over New Orleans.
As soon as the city was flooded, the media blamed the Bush tax cuts for the levees.
As soon as poor blacks were left behind, the media accused Bush of being a racist.
As soon as the hurricane hit the city, the media began running stories on global warming.
Things went from bad to silly when Cindy Sheehan called on Bush to get our troops out of occupied New Orleans.
What happened here?
Katrina turned into another Bush bashing show.
