EVENING NIGHTCAP: Air Canada...you suck! Katie's Holiday Decor. Today's "A Check Is A Check".

► Rant ahead:  IMO, the worst thing that happened to the US airline industry was deregulation back in the 1980s. It opened the door for greedy mofo execs to charge more for shitty service. This has been proven over the last 40 years, with airlines charging for every damn thing and the extinction of quality service. I'm waiting for them to start charging for breathing. Air Canada has decided to screw over passengers even more with their latest cash grab. Starting January1st, they will be slapping a $35 fee for your carry on bag and $50 for the second carry on bag. The only items that are exempt are small purses, a small laptop sans bag, or your dignity which must fit underneath the seat. Air Canada is being pelted with a well-deserved tongue lashing from the public. Airline execs are justifying the fees to offset the high cost of operating the airline. Translation: we need our golden parachutes and bonuses, so f**k the passengers.   Read More

Comment:  Countdown for other airlines to follow this bullshit in 3...2...1.  If I'm going to get raked over the coals, at least give me the courtesy of a sloppy reason. I detest flying and this has given me another reason to hate it even more. Between unruly passengers, piss poor service, nickle and dime for basic items, dirty planes, the stench of sweaty feet and ball sack...flying has turned into a Game of Thrones in the air.  If I ever win a gazillion dollar lottery, I'm buying a private jet.

► We all know Katie Holmes fashion style is best described as a fabric vomit. Katie decided to show off  her holiday decor by giving us a peek into her home. It left me scratching my head. On a shelf next to some books, Katie displayed a giant pair of clown shoes. Or elf shoes. They're probably Tammy Cruise's chanclas (slippers) he wore around the house. Then there's the glitter deer.  If Katie was going for Bambi eats glitter bomb, then she nailed it. It's not that I dislike the deer; it's that if you're doing to do it right, then don't make the buck look like swallowed a camel with that hump on its back.  Read More

Comment: Taking a closer look at the books in the photo, Katie either likes to collect cookbooks or borrowed them from her chef as props. I think it's the latter. If she can't dress or decorate for shit...I expect her culinary prowess to be on the same level as Brooklyn Beckham.

► Today's "a check is a check":  Robert De Niro, Ben Stiller, Blythe Danner, and Terri Polo are reuniting for a third "Meet the Parents".  A director has not been named.  The plot...well, take a wild guess: It will be De Niro doing whatever he does these days for an easy payday that requires minimal effort. Ben Stiller acting like an annoying doofus; and 2 hours of mindless filler and bullshit. It's a slow news day folks. Hollywood is scrapping the barrel for ideas. What else is new? Read More

Comment:  Hard pass for me. No thanks.

OPEN POST: Little Girl Looking Downstairs at Christmas Party

Can you hear this painting like I can? Hone in on a conversation; what are they discussing? There's music playing; what does it sound like? There's an aroma in the air; what does it smell like? Who is your favorite guest? What's their name? What are they wearing? The little girl at the top of the stairs - what does she think of it all? Who are her parents? How long has she been there? Why is she there? How long until she's discovered and sent back to bed? Decades have passed; does she remember this night still? BTW, looking for Peckerwood's Weekly Lunocracy Post? It's  RIGHT HERE .

OPEN POST: Manor Music Monday With The Joyous Etta Jones!

By

"What-whaaaaat, my bitches!" cries DJ Li'l Scratch at the Manor's "Tubesteak Lounge." Right now he's spinning Etta Jones. Yes, Jones.   Etta Jones is not Etta James (let's clear that up right away).  Have you heard of her? I hadn't until my bestest galpal introduced me to her years ago, and I've been hooked on her ever since. She's another one of those singers who was popular with the public for a wee bit, then forgotten, then rediscovered to a certain extent through YouTube and blog sites in the early 2000s. But she's never been forgotten by jazz aficionados. They've been devoted all along. Born in the 1920's and coming into her own professionally in the 40's and 50's, Etta endured long, grim years of struggle,  toiling at rough factory jobs during the day, then  performing at night with a 'who's who' of jazz performers. Years later, she partnered with sax legend Houston Person for nearly thirty years on t...
