Under Her Spell

From Drudge Report comes this lovely phở­to­graph of Female Demo­c­ra­tic Pres­i­den­tial Hope­ful. Isn’t she just pre­cious? It’s clearly an older photo, but I can­not find any­thing say­ing when or where it was taken. Nor­mally, I would have writ­ten a bit more, using the witch thing as an anal­ogy for her pol­i­tics. It would have been witty and insight­ful. But I’m busy, and I’m sure you can use your own imag­i­na­tions well enough.

Coincidence?

I don’t think so! From what I’ve been able to dig up on the Inter­nets, “Mac­gyver” was com­posed by Randy Edel­man and “Res­cue Rangers” by Mark Mueller. “Mac­gyver” pre­dates “Res­cue Rangers” by 3½ years. I think “Res­cue Rangers” was intended to be evoca­tive of “Mac­gyver.” Again, both are favorite shows from childhood.

Blast from the Past

I’m quite busy. I have three large papers due in the next 7 days. So posts this week are likely to be on the rather fluffy side. Like this: I used to watch this show when I was very young. The theme has been stuck in my head ever since. It would pop up, usu­ally in the shower, from time to time, and I couldn’t place it. Then I stum­bled on this. It was truly a delight­ful moment. I could feel my brain click.
