We hear that Sheryl Crow is selling her Tesla. Here is the story:
Sheryl Crow had once been a proud Tesla owner, even interfacing with Elon Muskon social media about her car. But whatever support the environmentally minded singer formerly had for the EVs has been superseded by her alarm at the rightward political turn taken by the man she now calls “President Musk,” and so she is saying: “So long Tesla.”
In a video posted to Instagram, Crow stands on the street as her Tesla is towed away. The caption says that she has sold the car and donated the money to NPR, “which is under threat by President Musk.”
So Crow sold the Tesla and wants the funds to go to NPR.
Frankly, I’m delighted that a liberal like Sheryl is leading the way. Maybe more will dump their assets and fund NPR. It makes our point that it should be market-funded rather supported by any public funds. Let the new funding begin.
Furthermore, putting more Teslas on the street will drop their prices and give more people a chance to own one.
Maybe Sheryl has started a movement. Sell your Tesla, send the proceeds to NPR, and buy a gas-powered car with a good FM radio to catch “All Things Considered.”

Happy # 78 Terry Crowley
We remember Terry Crowley who was born in New York on this day in 1947.He came up with the Orioles in September 1969. Unfortunately, Terry had a hard time getting any at bats with Don Buford, Paul Blair and Frank Robinson in the outfield. He could also play first but Boog Powell had that job.
Baltimore traded Crowley to Cincinnati after the 1973 season and then he went to Atlanta.
He returned to Baltimore in 1976 and found his niche as a left handed pinch hitter. Crowley hit .317 from 1977-81 as Earl Weaver's favorite late inning bat. Great guy!
February 16, 1964: The Beatles returned to The Ed Sullivan Show a week later.........
It was the follow up visit to their historic debut the week before.
They sang "She Loves You," "This Boy," "All My Loving," "I Saw Her Standing There," "From Me To You" and "I Want To Hold Your Hand."

1959: Fidel Castro became Prime Minister of Cuba
We recall another day in Cuban history:
“On February 16, 1959, Fidel Castro is sworn in as prime minister of Cuba after leading a guerrilla campaign that forced right-wing dictator Fulgencio Batista into exile. Castro, who became commander in chief of Cuba’s armed forces after Batista was ousted on January 1, replaced the more moderate Miro Cardona as head of the country’s new provisional government.”
Castro followed the announcement with a trip to the US. He met with VP Nixon, was a guest on “Meet the Press” and spoke before The National Press Club. He charmed the press. I think that most of the media in the US was caught up in the tale of the young “barbudo” destined to turn into some kind of Cuban George Washington.
Back in Cuba, Castro still enjoyed vast support. However, it started to erode in 1960 when radical steps were implemented. Castro went after the private schools, the newspapers and the media. Elections were never held. Repression was everywhere.
Finally, Cuba became a huge issue in the 1960 election and then Senator Kennedy beat up VP Nixon because the Eisenhower administration had been too easy on Cuba. On January ’61, or two years after Castro became prime minister, the US broke diplomatic relations and that was followed by The Bay of Pigs and The Missile Crisis.
And you know the rest of the ugly story. Castro never became the Cuban George Washington but he did govern a lot like the Cuban Josef Stalin.
