Read a book by Milton Friedman (1912-2006) this summer
We would always recommend a Friedman book for summer reading. So check out his page and look at getting one for the summer. Here is a good one to start with:
The incredible life of Milton Friedman (1912-2006)
Who are the most consequential men of the last 50 years? Let me suggest President Reagan, Pope John Paul II and Dwight Eisenhower, the World War II general and then the consequential 34th President.
How about Milton Friedman, the greatest economist of our generation?
Friedman died in 2006. He was born on this day in 1912. We still miss him.
My Milton Friedman memories go back to college and the 1980 Reagan campaign.
First, he wrote that great book "Free to choose". It became a TV series and many of us learned a lot by watching it.
Second, he was the leader of the "Chicago Boys" who fixed Chile after Pinochet overthrew Allende.
Friedman was a consequential man. He left us a lot of books, essays. documentaries and a wonderful foundation for future generations!
P.S. You can listen to my show. If you like our posts, please look for ”Donate” on the right column of the blog page.
Words of wisdom from Milton Friedman (1912-2006)
On taxes:
"To summarize, deficits are bad--but not because they necessarily raise interest rates. They are bad because they encourage political irresponsibility. They enable our representatives in Washington to buy votes at our expense without having to vote explicitly for taxes to finance the largesse. The result is a bigger government and a poorer nation. That is why I favor a constitutional amendment requiring Congress to balance the budget and limit taxation." (from "The Taxes Called Deficits," April 24, 1984)On freedom:
"It is important to emphasize that economic arrangements play a dual role in the promotion of a free society. On the one hand, "freedom" in economic arrangements itself a component of freedom broadly understood, so "economic freedom" is an end in itself to a believer in freedom. In the second place, economic freedom is also an indispensable means toward the achievement of political freedom. . . . " (from "Capitalism and Freedom: Why and How the Two Ideas Are Mutually Dependent," May 17, 1961)The flat tax:
"The only way we are ever likely to get it is if there is a drive for a constitutional convention to repeal the 16th Amendment (which gives Congress the power to tax income) and replace it with one mandating a flat-rate tax. However, I regret that that is not an immediate prospect." (from "Why a Flat Tax Is Not Politically Feasible," March 30, 1995)Let me say it again. Milton Friedman was a consequential voice in promoting freedom and free markets.

1958: "La violetera" with Sara Montiel
:format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-3640772-1338487709-6918.jpeg.jpg)
To be honest, I didn't like this movie the first time around. Years later, I saw it again and appreciated Sara Montiel's voice and acting skills.
"La Violetera" was released in 1958.
Sara died in 2013 and left behind quite a legacy of movies and recording, including "Vera Cruz" (1955) with Gary Cooper and Burt Lancaster and "Run of the Arrow" (1957) with Rod Steiger.
It's a nice movie.

We need something like Animal House in 2023
(My new American Thinker post)
As we struggle with a Barbie movie that does not remind me of the dolls that my sister collected, a U.S. women soccer team that can't smile, or even a new version of Snow White that claims she won't be saved by a prince's kiss this time around, it is difficult to find a good movie to see.
Please forgive us if we get nostalgic or remember some of the flicks that made us laugh, cry or just plain entertained us.
Entertain us? Do they even know that in Hollywood anymore?
Just heard that Animal House was released 45 years ago. Back then, the movie made a lot of us laugh. Honestly, I still laugh every time it comes on TV. No virtual signaling. No political message, just a bunch of college kids being stupid. Give me more movies like that.
Roger Ebert, the movie critic and the guy who used have that show on PBS along with Gene Siskel, reviewed the movie like this:
The movie is vulgar, raunchy, ribald, and occasionally scatological. It is also the funniest comedy since Mel Brooks made "The Producers" (1968). "Animal House" is funny for some of the same reasons the National Lampoon is funny (and Second City and "Saturday Night Live" are funny): Because it finds some kind of precarious balance between insanity and accuracy, between cheerfully wretched excess and an ability to reproduce the most revealing nuances of human behavior.
The star of the movie is a fellow named Bluto played by the late John Belushi. I remember one time explaining to a friend that Bluto reminded me of a combination of the cocky Chico Marx and the silent Harpo Marx. No matter what, I found this movie a charm because it made me laugh.
It is true that this is a story about rebellious kids challenging authority. At least you didn't have college professors teaching kids to hate their country or deny conservatives an opportunity to speak.
Keep your modern Barbie or Snow White and her inclusive dwarfs. I'd rather entertain myself with a crazy comedy like Animal House. What could possibly be wrong with a bunch of guys who love beer, "Shout," "Louie, Louie," motorcycles, and Playboy centerfolds?
Let me celebrate 45 years of Animal House by watching old movies and being entertained again.

Happy # 87 Tony Oliva
We say happy birthday to Hall of Famer Tony Oliva who was born in Pinar del Rio on this day in 1938.
Tony was quite a player:
a) He won 3 American League batting titles and led the American League in hits five times and in doubles four times;
b) He earned one Gold Glove, in 1966, and was named The Sporting News AL Player of the year twice (1965, '71); and,
c) Oliva hit over .300 six times in over 11 full seasons and .285 or better 10 times, never finishing below .270.
Unfortunately, injuries cut short his career in the 1970's.
Nevertheless, Oliva finished with a .304 average, 1917 hits, 220 Hrs & 947 RBI.
What if he had played 2,500 games rather than 1,676? The answer is 3,000 hits and probably one or two more batting titles.
One of the greatest Cuban players in major league history!

We burned disco records not neighborhoods back in 1979
As urban areas recover from the riots and looting of 2020, we are reminded that young people got angry at different things 41 years ago.
By the summer of 1979, disco music saturated U.S. radio stations. Everybody was doing disco, from Paul McCartney’s “Goodnight Tonight” to Frankie Avalon’s “Venus.” Frankly, it was probably too much disco!
On this day in 1979, the Chicago White Sox and Detroit Tigers were scheduled to play a double-header at the old Comiskey Park. The Sox desperately needed a promotion, and they got one by joining forces with Chicago DJ Steve Dahl, one of many rock fans who resented how disco threatened rock ‘n’ roll.
The promotion called for fans to blow up disco vinyl 45s and LPs between games.
What could possibly go wrong? Everything did, as we see in this story at Rolling Stone:
The game sold out, but thousands of additional ticketless fans showed up to voice their hatred of an entire genre.Many stormed the gates and filled the ballpark way beyond capacity, setting up a dangerous situation when Dahl blew up the disco records.Fans threw firecrackers and bottles onto the field, eventually storming onto it, starting fires and battling with police.The second game was eventually called off amidst the madness.For many fans of traditional rock that had little love for disco, the incident was nothing more than a bunch of drunks having harmless fun on a summer evening. Disco had dominated the charts for the past few years, stealing the spotlight from their heroes or causing them to actually record disco music themselves, and this felt justified.
What could wrong? Everything. At least no one demanded tearing down statues of white baseball stars or painted slogans in front of stadium.
In the 1970s, a couple of other teams tried crazy promotions to sell tickets. The Brewers had “10 cent beer” night in 1971 and the Indians in 1974. The one in Milwaukee saw people drunk in the parking lots and the police chief blasting the team management on TV. The one in Cleveland had the visiting Texas Rangers defending themselves with baseball bats against fans who obviously had had too many cheap beers.
No team had promotions like that again. For whatever reason, we got angry at different things back then, and the police were never attacked except by a couple of angry Indians fans in Cleveland who had too many beers. They were not mad at the police, but rather crazy drunk.

Happy to be here celebrating another July 4th and more

Let's cheer for another 250
Let's cheer for another 250: July 4th is a good day to remember my late parents. I'm so grateful that they made the decision to leave Cuba, endure the hardships of starting over and giving me a chance to grow up here. To say the least, my life would have been different down ...

1967 was a very good year for music to buy 45's & LPs
"Hello Goodbye" by The Beatles.
"New York Mining Disaster 1941" by The Bee Gees.
"Ruby Tuesday" by The Rolling Stones.
It was the 3rd single of the year for The Beatles. The other two were "All you need is love" and "Penny Lane/Strawberry Fields Forever".
"NY Mining Disaster" introduced The Bee Gees to the US and the world. It was one of 4 hits that the Brothers Gibb had in '67. The other three were "To love somebody", "Holiday" and "Massachusetts".
"Ruby Tuesday" by The Rolling Stones was from "Between the Buttons", a great LP with a great cover. The B-side was "Let's spend the night together" which did not get air play on Top 40 radio.
Anyway, there you have it.
1967 was a great year for pop music!
