Selene Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Desi Arnaz: "A Cuban-born American musician, actor, television producer, writer and director. He is best remembered for his role as Ricky Ricardo on the American television series sitcom I Love Lucy, starring with Lucille Ball, to whom he was married at the time. Arnaz was also internationally renowned for leading his Latin music band, the Desi Arnaz Orchestra. He and Ball are generally credited as the inventors of the rerun in connection with I Love Lucy.[2] Arnaz is also partially credited with introducing the multi camera set up for the situation comedy, and using film for this method." There is even a "little Ricky!" Quote Lucy Ricardo (née Lucille Esmeralda McGillicuddy) and Ricky Ricardo (who gives his full name in the episode "Hollywood Anniversary" as Ricardo Alberto Fernando Ricardo y de Acha, although when Lucy later calls him by his full name in the episode "Lucy Raises Tulips", she gives "Enrique" as his first name and appends "III" to the end: Enrique Alberto Fernando Ricardo y de Acha III[6]) are fictional characters from the American television sitcom I Love Lucy, portrayed respectively by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. Ricky is a character very similar to Arnaz himself, a Cuban-American bandleader whose trademark song is "Babalu". Red-haired Lucy is his wife, who always gets into trouble and is usually caught at it by Ricky. Lucy's full name is given in the episodes "The Marriage License," "Fred and Ethel Fight," and "The Passports". Ricky's is given in "Lucy Raises Tulips" (1957). They have a son Ricky Ricardo, Jr., also called "Little Ricky", portrayed by child actor Richard Keith, whose stage name on the series is his character's name, Little Ricky. The Ricardos appear, as well, in The Lucy–Desi Comedy Hour, and Lucy also appears in one episode of The Ann Sothern Show. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desi_Arnaz A...

My favourite kind of trophy (outside the Stanley Cup) is the old-fashioned baseball trophy, like my dad had. So, for you I give the best kind. I inscribed it with :"OL Heavy Hitters." We can bat runs in, and we can do a job digging deep in the dugouts. On the front porch here are some all-stars. I wish everyone could have a trophy, but hey, I am just a little bit Objectivish after ten years here on the front porch. I only give trophies for merit.

The only immutable laws in determinism are abstractions without relationship to any reality other than themselves such as logic.

Michael Stuart Kelly Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 It never occurred to me before, but the essence of determinism is circular reasoning. It goes like this: Logic must work because it would be illogical for it not to. Everything else is up for grabs. Why? Because it's not logic.

Open convention? Probably 54 undeclared delegates in Pennsylvania. Kasich is from Penn. VP? He could bring Ohio to Trump. A Republican has never won the Presidency without winning Ohio. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/7/21/1112453/-The-last-time-a-Republican-won-the-Presidency-without-winning After all, in the last decade, a Republican did not get 270 electoral votes, required to win the Presidency, without winning Florida, Ohio, and Virginia. In 88, George H W Bush won all 3. 76 is out because Carter won. In 72 Nixon dominated the map. In 68, Nixon won all 3. In 64, LBJ won . In 60, JFK won. In 52 and 56, Ike won all 3, he dominated the map also. In 48, Truman won, and prior to that FDR won every election since 1928. In 1928 Hoover the Republican won, but he won all 3.

KorbenDallas Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I don't know, but the thing that Kasich does with his jaw kind of creeps me out, reminds me of the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

He has the washington experience Trump has spoken about, plus Trump said he is looking for a VP that can help out in a state he has to win. A Trump/Kasich ticket looks very good.

Robert Campbell Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 (edited) Some of Kasich's budget-related experience is a plus. His decision to go around the state legislature to jam through an Obamacare medicaid expansion is not. Neither is his strategy of running against most Republican voters (not just the Trump supporters). When he's standing, his posture and gestures remind me of Ed Sullivan.

Peter Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 I would enjoy seeing some more analyses of who would bring the most votes to a Trump ticket and who would Rubio now pick as Veep? Cruz is of his ethnicity and shares most of his conservative values. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Campbell Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Peter, Cruz might pick Rubio for VP. I don't see it going the other way around, do you? Rubio's out of the race. I think Trump will need to go with someone who doesn't much resemble him. That will be interesting. We don't yet know whether those who have been offered positions in a Trump administration (Christie, Palin, Carson) will be able to call their own shots, or Trump expects them to function on the Obama model (all shall obey the Emperor).
