What can possibly compete with being a child on a Sunday (or Saturday, if you wish) morning and being able to watch cartoons until your eyes pop? If there is one thing I miss from my younger years, it's that feeling of security, innocence and freedom that I felt.

So, in honor of those days, I present to you my latest top 10 list. The following include childhood and adult favorites alike. However, this list does not include characters who were predominantly used in the comic pages in newspapers.

All-Time Favorite Cartoon Characters:

10. Barney Rubble
I loved the Flintstones, but Fred always annoyed me. Barney seemed like he was always more sensible and he even had the prettier wife. While I liked it's copycat, The Jetsons, the Flintstones get points for it's 0riginality (although, I guess it was really just an animated version of The Honeymooners)

9. Dudley Do-Right
every time I think of the line "Oh, Nell", I crack up. Did Canadians find this show funny? I bet they didn't.

8. Road-Runner
This is really shared between the Road-Runner and Wile E. Coyote. You can't have one without the other. I always wondered where got the money to buy all those Acme products.

7. Grandpa Simpson
Grandpa Simpson is the funniest old dude on TV. Without question, he has the best lines - even if he can't always remember them.

6. George of the Jungle
Stupid movie aside, I always loved the theme song.

5. Patrick Star
As you can tell, I usually liked the dumb ones. Patrick is so utterly ridiculous that he can steal any scene. The sight of him in fishnets in the SpongeBob movie was a classic moment in animated history.

4. Bullwinkle
Continuing the "simple" theme, I have to wonder why Rocky stuck around with a moose. Oh, and to answer the question as to whether or not squirrels fly? Yes they do. Especially as you hit one with your car as you drive in the mountains (trust me on this one - it landed in the valley below)

3. Wakko Warner
I'm not sure if it was the adult humor, the classic sight gags, or my friend Neil's obsession with the Animaniacs that I enjoyed most. But whatever it was, I loved it. I grew up on these types of cartoons, so naturally, they grew up with Yakko, Wakko and Dot. But what were they?

2. Foghorn Leghorn
Boy, I say boy I loved this. Plus, the who chicken hawk storyline and the neighborhood dog always made me want to bust a gut. Still does.

1. Bugs Bunny
The best of the best. Bugs had it all. He was the first cross-dressing rabbit in history and somehow made it work. Who hasn't - at one time or another - used the line, "eh, what's up Doc"? Bugs Bunny is, was and always will be the standard-bearer.

Others considered:
Speed Racer
Johnny Bravo
Popeye
Schoolhouse Rock
Magilla Gorilla
Quick-Draw McGraw


Thh-thh-thh-that's all, folks!

I got this off of the Wall Street Journal's Best of the Web:

"Iran's president said on Friday his country would pay no attention to
international calls to halt its nuclear work, hours before the U.N. atomic watchdog reports on whether Tehran has met U.N. Security Council demands," Reuters reports from Tehran:

"Those who want to prevent Iranians from obtaining their right, should know that we do not give a damn about such resolutions," Mahmoud Ahmadinejad told a rally in northwest Iran, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Mohamed ElBaradei, chief of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), is expected to tell the council and the agency's board on Friday that Iran has not stopped enriching uranium or fully answered IAEA queries as the U.N. body asked a month ago.

On a related subject, here's an April 10 U.N. press release:

The recent record of the Disarmament Commission was far from satisfactory, but now, more than ever, it should use the opportunity of an agreed agenda to strengthen the disarmament machinery to effectively deal with new emerging threats and challenges, the new Under-Secretary-General for Disarmament Affairs, Nobuaki Tanaka, said today upon the opening of the Commission's substantive session. . . .

In other business, the following delegations were elected as Vice-chairpersons, by acclamation: Chile, Uruguay and Iran.

Chairing the U.N.'s disarmament commission is a country whose head of state doesn't "give a damn" about his obligations to the U.N. In light of all this, of what use is the U.N.? Indeed, isn't it worse than useless?

INDEED!

Will Ted Kennedy and Jaques Chirac PLEASE grow up?

Random Musiings That Plague My Mind

Hollywood Edition

Is it just me? Or does the term "TomKat" make you want to puke too?

Why are we allowing Angelina Jolie the ability to adopt? Wasn't she the one making out on TV with her brother just a few years ago?

Barbara Streisand is angry at the writer of her biography. Apparently, none of her "close friends or professional co-workers" were used as sources of the book, although a number of her associates were quoted anonymously.

Gee, I was just shocked that she has any friends.

With all the "tolerance talk" that eminates from Hollywood, does anybody really believe a conservative can find work there?

Then again, why would one?

There is no better hour of television than the show "House". What makes it even more amazing is the fact that the show's star, Hugh Laurie, not only is British, but was the father in "Stuart Little".

Can't wait until August 18th. That's when "Clerks II: The Passion of the Clerks" comes out. Nothing against "Jersey Girl", but a Kevin Smith movie just ain't the same without Jay and Silent Bob.

Ok, I admit I have a thing for Nichole Kidman. But Kate Beckinsale runs a very close 2nd.

Okay, I don't have a "thing" for male actors, but I have to tell you that I think Gary Sinise is the best actor in Hollywood today.

Last, But not least. I was stunned that Chris Daughtry was in the bottom 3 last week. Maybe it was because his fans would prefer him rocking. Tonight won't be any easier, with love songs on the menu. But if I made out the order of who I want to win, it would go something like this:

6. Paris
5. Elliot
4. Kelly
3. Katherine
2. Chris
1. Taylor

That's all folks!

There is nothing in the world better than food. I don't care how young or old you are. Eating when you're hungry is just about the most enjoyable thing there is. So, in light of this discovery, I present to you my:

TOP 10 FAVORITE FOODS
(especially when I'm hungry)

10. Angel Hair Spaghetti
Forget about all that "pasta" crap - just give me the original!

9. Albacore Tuna on toasted white w/lettuce
The only mercury I care about is Freddie - and not all that much.

8. Morningstar Farms' Grillers
On a slightly toasted english muffin. Breakfast, lunch or dinner and low cholesterol to boot!

7. Corn Flake Breaded Chicken
Their Grrrreeeeaaaaaattt! Okay, wrong commercial.

6. Bagel and Cream Cheese
Toasted is best. One of those "Jew" things.

5. Corn on the Cob
Don't need no butter, just anapkin and a toothpick.

4. Chicken soup with matzah balls
Good for whatever ails ya. And good for the soul (as if I had one).

3. Oranges
If the doc allowed, I'd eat 10 a day. Well, the Doc and my stomach.

2. Fried Chicken
No G-d fearing southerner leaves this off the list.

1. Steak
Cholesterol and fat (and wallet) be damned.

Can you tell I'm hungry?

In keeping my theme consistent for the week...

I read an editorial recently in the Chicago Tribune titled, "Hamas' suicidal answer". One part caught my eye:

The Palestinian government is broke. Tens of thousands of people aren't getting paid, including police and security forces. Some police have seized government buildings in protest.

Hamas has been begging for money from any country that will listen. Before the bombing, Russia and Qatar announced pledges to Hamas. How can they fulfill them now? Funding the Palestinian government is no different than donating money directly to terrorists.

With its election victory, Hamas faced a choice. It could choose terror or it could choose to build a Palestinian state. It couldn't do both.

I remember thinking, "who are they kidding". Of course Hamas can continue terror. They'll get whatever money they want. I thought back through all of those threats made by the UN towards Saddam Hussein, towards Hezbollah and towards Yasser Arafat. Not a damn one was worth the time or effort. It wasn't until President Bush said "enough already." Then, when push came to shove, our dear friends - France, Germany and Russia - grabbed tail and ran. Of course we all know why now, but at the time, our own Democratic party went ballistic at the thought of facing down the hallowed United Nations. The Dems choice to run the country even seemed to suggest that the nations of the world should have the authority to determine what's best for the U.S.

Think about it. Some third-world crackpot would have the same power over our defense as our own elected officials. If the 51% of the world decided that the US is the root cause of all that's evil in the world, which when you consider the number of Arab despots is not so far-fetched, then we should all lay down our arms and praise Allah. Right?

Regardless of the unmatched hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy that permeates the majority of nations - and don't even get me started about how not everyone wants to be free, you know that's crap as well as I do - that make up the UN, and regardless of absurd notion that the UN is not mired in anti-Semitism, in no way, shape or form, would I ever expect fairness to play a role in dealing with Hamas.

My favorite cousin wrote me and told me that a woman who lived down the block from her was one of the victims of the latest slaughter of Jews at the hands of the Arabs. Her husband and one of her sons where sitting in the car while she and their 10 year old went to buy Shwarma at the kosher Shwarma/falafel place in Tel Aviv and they saw it all. The 10 year old is in the hospital but the mother was killed on the spot.

And what happened next? Did the UN rush to the scene? Did Kofi announce that a government that allows this to happen must be disbanded? Disarmed? Smacked on the wrist?

No, they did not. But Russia did. While the Chicago Tribune tells us that the world surely must realize the danger and the evil of these animals, Russia cuts tail and runs to the bank. Not to pay the families of the victims, but to forward $10 million dollars to the Palestinian government.

So why shouldn't Hamas continue to turn their backs on the senseless slaughter of someone's mother/wife/child? What is the consequence?

Hamas, as well as Fatah before them, have no intention to build a country. Whatever money sent to Arafat went straight towards bullets. Whatever money Russia sends Hamas will do the same. Russia and the rest of the nations that the Democrats believe should have final say on all matters of American defense, should just stop pretending and finally admit that they are all despotic anti-Semites and anti-freedom.

It would save us all a lot of time and paperwork.

Our Own Worst Enemy

What the hell is wrong with us Jews?

There was a saying, coined by the late Abba Eban, that states, "the Arabs never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity." I used to believe it was as true as the sky is blue.

But now, not only am I convinced that it's false - I believe everything the Arabs do is calculatedly cold and evil - I am beginning to believe that it's us that this quote describes.

As I discussed yesterday, there was yet another suicide bombing in Israel. Today, instead of waxing Angrily at the "Palestinian" people - which is only effective combined with might - the Israeli cabinet, led by the ancient - if not dangerous - Shimon Peres, stated, "the 'Palestinian nation' [sic], which just three months ago voted overwhelmingly to entrust the Hamas terrorist organization with its government, is not an enemy. It is a long-suffering people, most of which understands that they must live with us in peace."

Of course they aren't. I mean, why would we even think that they're the enemy? So what if the Germans overwhelmingly voted in Hitler? We just believed he'd help us build roads. We never believed that crap about killing millions of Jews.

Just last month, a poll conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found that of 1,270 PA adults interviewed, 52.4% said they support "armed attacks against Israeli civilians inside Israel." Close to a third of those who support the attacks said they "strongly support" them. Only 45.2% said they opposed. In addition, two-thirds of those polled said they believe "that armed confrontations so far has helped achieved Palestinian national and political rights in ways that negotiations could not achieve."

So, I'm guessing Peres is talking to the 45.2%. Oh, wait a minute. This latest attack took place in Tel-Aviv. So what are the number of Arabs who feel it's justified to kill innocent people outside the so-called Green line?

Does it even matter?

Israeli President Moshe Katzav went even further. Katzav said, "We want to believe that the political approach of the Hamas government is not the way of the Palestinians. I believe that most of the Palestinians support peace with Israel and accept the three conditions of the Quartet..."

Is he out of his mind? I mean, Peres is older than dirt. Maybe he's suffering from severe stupidity in his old age. The fact that he still would consider Yasser Arafat a "peace partner", if not for the fact he were burning in Hell, not withstanding.

But Katzav? To understand Israeli politics, the office of the President in Israel is less important that the office of Vice President here. Prince Charles has more responsibility. Like the VP and the Prince, the best any of us can hope for is that they don't embarrass us. They can do far more damage than good.

Katzav's remarks point out just that very fact. In response to Katzav's idiotic comment, MK Yuval Shteinitz, the Chairman of the Defense committee said:

"The fact that our leaders do not recognize our enemies as such is dangerous. Their statements are a continuation of the game of false illusions. The Palestinian people - and I'm not referring to individuals, of whom many sincerely want peace - are our enemy, as we have seen in their terrorism of the past years and all the more so in their election of Hamas, which does not recognize our existence and wants to destroy us. They have chosen the path of war."

Duh. He gets it.

I don't expect the rest of the World to suddenly wake up and realize that our enemy is the same as theirs. But I'm mortified that our own people can't figure it out for themselves. We truly are very own worst enemy sometimes.

Another day, another suicide bomber.

It should be noted that this attack was not in the "disputed territories", but in the city of Tel-Aviv. It should also be noted that the Palestinians' new Hamas leaders called the attack a legitimate response to Israeli "aggression." It should also be noted that the group who claimed responsibility was Islamic Jihad, a group closely aligned with "President" Abbas' Fatah party.

I was very hesitant to support the Gaza withdrawal. I felt that any concession to the Arabs - even one that might be strategically favorable to Israel - must be deserved. Ariel Sharon and his new Kadima Party disagreed and made the case - along with President Bush - that giving up on Gaza was the only way to separate ourselves from the Arabs. World "leaders" - who at first condemned the very idea of Israel's unilateral move - began to look at it as an Israeli gesture of goodwill. The World press began not only laying off of Sharon because of his illness, but also because they saw that at least SOMEBODY was doing something.

Whether by design or sheer luck (I believe design), international sympathy began to shift slightly back towards Israel. Suddenly, governments began to look at Israel as a victim, instead of as an aggressor (Arab countries not included, of course). Add that to the continuous verbal diarrhea from the mad mullah in Iran, and there is almost worldwide empathy.

Imagine that.

It's too bad it's absolutely meaningless.

Another day, another suicide bomber.

Another condemnation from another impotent Israeli Prime Minister, another two-faced President of another appeasing, hypocritical, anti-Jewish world leader.

What's that, Mr. Chirac? Mr. Putin? Mr. Bush? Yes sirs. We promise not to retaliate. No sirs, we don't want to feed their anger. After their reaction to the Danish cartoons, we would hate to get them mad at us. No sirs. Thank you, sirs. May we have another, sirs. Yes, we know the world considers us the aggressors. Yes sirs, perhaps it was our fault for the bomber's death.

Maybe we're at fault because we just sit and take it. We're an easy target. I mean, what was exactly the U.N.'s reaction to Iran's calling for Israel's destruction? Who cares if Chapter 1 Article 2 of the United Nation's charter specifically states that "all members shall refrain in their international relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with the Purposes of the United Nations."

What does it matter? It's our fault. It's like the bully in school who goes to the principal and complains that you caused him pain when you put your face in the way of his fist - and gets away with it.

Another day, another suicide bomber.

Ho hum. Must be a slow news day. What? Brad and Angelina have the night off?

TOP 10 FAVORITE T.V. SHOWS (not including current shows)
this list does not include animated shows

10. One Day At A Time
I'm 13-years-old and in love with Valerie Bertinelli. Who wouldn't understand that?

9. Barney Miller
Say what you want about cop shows. This was the benchmark. Even after Jack Soo died, the show carried on and carried me away.

8. The Carol Burnett Show
Carol Burnett is the funniest woman in the history of television (sorry, Lucy). Add Harvey Korman and Tim Conway to the cast and you have excellence. They were the first to say it was okay to laugh while performing.

7. Hogan's Heroes
Who knew the war was so funny. The fact that the commandant (as well as one of the prisoners) was Jewish in real-life only made it that much better. Did I care that Bob Crane was murdered? You bet yer sweet ass I did.

6. LA Law
I liked St. Elsewhere and Hill Street Blues, but LA Law ruled the roost. It's been copied, many times, but it's the best of the 80's yuppie-dramas. Plus, it had Benny.

5. Mary Tyler Moore
She turned my world on with her smile. When I look back at what the CBS line-up was like in 1970 (MTM, Bob Newhart and Carol Burnett), I often wonder why I didn't die of laughter at the tender age of 8. A little song, a little dance, a little seltzer in my pants. Brilliant.

4. Night Court
What Barney Miller created, Night Court perfected. The timing and the sideline characters were hysterical. But Mac was the one who held it all together. Well, him and Mel Torme.

3. Dallas
In the late 70's, my hometown had it all - championship football, the cover of Time and Newsweek and J.R. Ewing. Dallas rewrote the rules of the nighttime soap and did it with the most outrageous story lines. You couldn't help but hate J.R., love Bobby and feel sorry for Ray. Only Dallas could get away with having a whole season be a dream. The show lasted about 3 years too long, but when it was good, it was Baaaaad.

2. Soap
Soap broke not only the rules of comedy, but of good taste. Too many people took it too seriously at the time to realize what an incredible cast can do with the right scripts. Benson may have been the "normal one", but my vote was for Chuck and Bob (which one was the dummy?).

1. WKRP in Cincinnati
OH MY G-d, THEY'RE TURKEYS! Do I need to say more. Unfortunately, because of music rights, this show is no longer in syndication. But my desire to be a DJ all stemmed from my infatuation with Dr. Johnny Fever. Of course, most people considered me more like a Venus Fly-Trap kind of guy, but at least I wasn't Herb! What other show could possible make a whole story about fake walls? Oh, and as much as some people disagreed with me then, I always though Baily Quarters was the pretty one.

Because of the Passover holiday, I won't be blogging again until Sunday. To all my Jewish readers and friends, have a wonderful holiday filled with love and happiness.

To all my Christian readers and friends, I want to wish you a very happy and meaningful Easter as well.

And if you happen to have any extra, leftover chocolate bunnies (that have a kosher symbol on it), don't be afraid to send it my way.

Today is a gorgeous day. Temperature is expected to hit the mid 70's and may actually touch 80 before the week is out. Wow.

Since my computer went down, I find myself well behing the news. So forgive me if you've heard this one:

Teacher Makes 5-Year-Old Apologize For Hugging

MAYNARD, Mass. -- A Massachusetts family is outraged after their 5-year-old daughter was forced to write a letter denouncing hugging after a classmate embraced her.

Brenda Brier and Michael Marino pulled their daughter, Savannah, out of school early Wednesday. The couple was angry after a meeting with officials at the Greenmeadow Elementary School in Maynard, Mass., where Savannah is in kindergarten.

At issue is a hug Savannah said she got on the playground from a friend named Sophie. Savannah hugged Sophie back. The hugs resulted in Savannah having to write a letter, complete with teacher corrections, that read, "I touch Sophie because she touch me and I didn't like it because she was hugging me. I didn't like when she hugged me."

"She said, 'I'm really sad that I got in trouble for hugging,'" Brier said.

"I can understand if boys are playing rough or kids are pulling each other around -- that's one thing. But when kids are being affectionate, I mean hugging, hey, they shouldn't be disciplined over it and they shouldn't be lying in letters making the kid say the opposite that they don't like to hug," Marino said.

School Superintendent Mark Masterson said there was a "dispute of the facts between a hug and a lifting of a child off the floor." The superintendent said the school reported "one girl bear hugged another girl and lifted her off the ground. The aide who was monitoring told the teacher. The teacher asked several students to write a note to their parents and describe
what happened."

Savannah said she did not lift her classmate off the ground.

"They're trying to accuse her now, basically," Brier said.

Savannah's parents said it should have never gone this far, and want an apology from the school. The family said they are so upset they'll start looking for a new school for their daughter to attend.

Oh, puleeeeze! Is it just me? Is anyone paying attention to what damage these "zero-intellegence" rules are doing to own kids?

Our schools have some huge problems, like gangs, guns, abissimal education problems, poor management, poor use of funds, uneducated teachers and teachers who can not understand why having sex with a student is wrong.

Yet, this school has the audacity to punish a 5-year-old girl for being a 5-year-old girl!

There are other reasons why I send my children to private school. But take those reasons away, and I still wouldn't want my kids to learn from these idiots.

If you want to ensure the downfall of the American society, look no further than keeping the public school system at the status quo. Without some semblance of common sense on our part, our children will grow up incapable of keeping America as a strong, vibrant country.

In my 43+ years of life, I have been blessed with being able to see most of this beautiful country. As a child, my parents shunned the idea of summer camp and always herded us in the car for our annual summer trip. Usually, we went to Florida or Atlantic City. But, no matter where we went, it was almost always by car.

As I got older, I started to follow in my father's footsteps. From the very first year that I got my license (1980), I took a trip out of state. Sometimes with friends, sometimes alone. Even after I got married, my yearly trips (sometimes more than once a year) continued. Now, in 2006, I hyave kept up that streak without exception. To me, there is no greater feeling than being behind the wheel of a car, driving out in the middle of gawd-knows-where.

So, in honor of that tradition, I present the latest installment of my TOP 10.

TOP 10 FAVORITE U.S. LOCATIONS
(note: these can be a city, neighborhood, or just a stretch of road - but they all have one thing in common - if the end comes and I am in one of these places, I will die happy. Well, maybe not happy, but certainly happy about dying there).

10. Key West (Florida)
G-d may have made Texas on the eigth day, but he vacationed in Margaritaville. My lifelong dream is to spend summers in the Blue Ridge Mountains and winters with Jimmy Buffett.

9. Big Sur (California)
Where the sky meets the sun. 'Nuff said.

8. Bachman Lake (Dallas, TX)
Sitting in, or on top of your car, you can make out the faces of the airline passengers as they land next door at Love Field. Speaking of making out...

7. Times Square (New York City)
If you're looking for it all, look no further. It's amazing how alone one can be surrounded by thousands of people. When you're on top, it's the most wonderous place. When you're down, it's miserable. But regardless, it's never boring.

6. Turner Falls (Oklahoma)
Peace, quiet and cool water. When not too crowded, a small slice of heaven.

5. Sevierville/Pigeon Forge (Tennessee)
Forget about Dollywood. As the sun sets on the Smokey Mountains, you can not help but believe in G-d.

4. Lake Eufuala (Georgia-Alabama border)
Poverty on the east bank, Antebellum on the west. Make sure to hide the basketball and the fish tank!

3. Julia Tuttle Causeway - eastbound (Miami - Miami Beach, FL)
Excitement builds as the hotels come in to view. Maybe this would be the best summer yet.

2. Lake Shasta (California)
Clear blue waters, a three-day houseboat trip, best friends and Billy Joel's Glass Houses in the summer of 1980.

1. Skyline Drive (Virginia)
Most people who know me, know of my love of the Virginia mountains. The view from some of these mountains is like "the songs that the darkness composes to worship the light" - Dan Fogelberg

Wrigley Field - Chicago, Illinois
Texas Stadium - Irving, Texas
and last, but certainly not least, Bucksnort, Tennessee.

I finally am able to post again. My laptop's motherboard died, and not the hard drive as I originally thought. Now, I just have to figure out what's wrong with my desktop. For some reason, Java isn't working on it. I've downloaded it and deleted it and downloaded it again, and yet...nothing. I have a suspicion that it's due to a virus, but Norton isn't picking it up.

If I can't get it to work, I may just clean out the damn machine and start over.

Since I wasn't able to post this week (except for Tuesday, from work), I've already fallen behind on my top 10 lists. Don't worry, I'll start up again this weekend with an all new TOP 10. Gawd, it's good to work with Java again!

Well, tonight starts an all-new season of baseball at the JCC. Like last year, I'm going to coach my son's team. You may recall we won the championship last year. This year, he has moved up to the next level (6-8th graders), so instead of baseball, they'll be playing softball. Still, it will be fun.

I'm not surprised Mandisa left American Idol this week. Not that I thought she was the worst of the bunch - I just thought that she was not as good lately. I'm very curious about how they'll all do with Queen songs next week. My guess is Bucky will do "Crazy Little Thing Called Love". After all, Dwight Yoakam pulled it off well and I can see Bucky copying his version.

Since I've been accused of being stuck "in the last century", here is proof that I am very aware of 21st century tunes:

Debbie just hit the wall
she never had it all
one Prozac a day
husbands a CPA
her dreams went out the door
when she turned twenty four
only been with one man
what happen to her plan?

She was gonna be an actress
she was gonna be a star
she was gonna shake her ass
on the hood of white snake’s car
her yellow SUV is now the enemy
looks at her average life
and nothing has been alright

Springstein, Madonna
way before Nirvana
there was U2 and Blondie
and music still on MTV
her two kids in high school
they tell her that she’s uncool
but she still preoccupied
with 19, 19, 1985

She’s seen all the classics
she knows every line
Breakfast Club, Pretty in Pink
even Saint Elmo’s Fire
she rocked out to wham
not a big Limp Biscuit fan
thought she’d get a hand
on a member of Duran Duran

Where’s the mini-skirt made of snake skin
and who’s the other guy singing in Van Halen
when did reality become T.V.
what ever happen to sitcoms, game shows
(on the radio there was)

Springstein, Madonna...

She hates time make it stop
when did Motley Crew become classic rock?
And when did Ozzy become an actor?
Please make this stop
Stop!
And bring back

Springstein, Madonna...

Springstein, Madonna...

thanks, Rache!
