I went to Great Basin National Park last year and posted some pictures of Lehmann Cave, which was a great tour; the person was very knowledgeable. If I ever get the conversion equipment to digitalize the video 8 of the tour, I'd like to post it here.

Here are some pictures of the park.

The remoteness of the park, just a few miles from the Utah border and some 70 or so miles east of Ely, makes it one of the least visited of all the national parks. But it's really pretty.

I hope to be back in the near future.

Note to trolls: If you start giving me a rash of shit about the Sinclair story, you will have your posts deleted, and deleted, and deleted. I won't take that bullying shit here.

I have said I am on the fence about his allegations, but the over-the-top, illegal antics of so-called Obama supporters against him are pushing me to believe his original allegations.

Man, it is sure fun and games to ridicule the so-called "fat."

Can you imagine somebody putting a computer game up bashing blacks or Jews? Or even the disabled?

Sure, people should find it funny.

One of my favorite blogs out there is one devoted to classic television, Classic Television Showbiz. I thought I'd post the link to a series of YouTubes of an old Tom Snyder Tomorrow Show broadcast featuring one of the sleaziest biographers of all time, the late, ungreat Albert Goldman (1927-1994). This interview came out at the time Goldman published his absolutely shitty biography of Elvis Presley, and the sleazeball insisted the audience had to leave the studio when he came on. He was a total shitbag. Slime just drips off of him. The viewer needs to take a shower after watching him. Goldman had a thinly-veiled envy for Presley. He claimed Presley had a low I.Q., which was just a stupid comment on its face. What his remark did was disguise his contempt for Elvis, who, with just a high school education, did more in his life than 99.9999999999...percent of all of the people in the world who had far greater education. That's what pissed off this useless shitbag Goldman. Furthermore, Elvis was from the South, and how dare a poor southerner actually have a huge influence on popular culture. Goldman had much the same regional contempt for Elvis as the Beltway media mob had for Bill Clinton. Elvis had no pretensions, yet he was one of the few people who actually made this world a better place. This was just too much for somebody like Goldman, who made his living leeching off the dead, since he couldn't cut it as an academic.

I remember an interview he gave I believe on KGO radio at around this time shitting all over Elvis Presley. At that point he was working on a biography of John Lennon, and as I remember it, Goldman was actually bragging up Lennon while continuing to shit all over Elvis. He made a contrast between how good Lennon was and how shitty Elvis was.

Well, we know how all of THAT turned out. Goldman's 1988 book about John Lennon was even worse than his sleaze job on Elvis. Goldman was hard at work on a hit job on Jim Morrison, but the Lizard King got his revenge and was spared as Goldman died en route to London. The book was never finished.

According to Wikipedia, Goldman had a daughter but never married the mother. A great guy all around.
