The original 1971 version of Sondheim's classic "Broadway Baby" as performed by Ethel Shutta on stage at the Winter Garden Theater on Broadway in Follies. This is a rough film clip but it's the best we have and those who saw this live can count themselves among the lucky few to have witnessed the creation of a platinum Broadway moment the likes of which we may never see again.

Oh, Yeah: Time Are Changin' In South Jersey!
From Matt Rooney at Save Jersey reprinted with permission:
If you need more evidence that the times are changing in South Jersey, Save Jerseyans, turn your attention to Wednesday’s Gloucester County Board of Commissioners meeting.
The Democrat-controlled board voted 7-0 in favor of a resolution advocatig for the passage of S-1200. That’s the Declan O’Scanlon (R-13) bill co-sponsored by Vin Gopal (D-11) to curb Phil Murphy’s emergency powers.
The unanimously-adopted resolution was introduced on January 31st by Nick DeSilvio, one of the board’s two brand new Republican commissioners (along with Chris Konawel) who were elected in November’s red wave.
What does this tell me?
South Jersey Democrats aren’t in love with Governor Murphy by any stretch of the imagination, and that’s all the more true after their November drubbing; today’s new legislative map which essentially surrenders most of the state’s southern districts to the GOP won’t help the relationship.
It’s also an act of self-preservation. Jack Ciattarelli carried the county by 10-points last year and the Biden inflation nightmare isn’t doing Democrats any favors.
And one more thing… two politicians willing to take a stand can make a difference. Hopefully this is just the beginning.

We Must Never, EVER Forget This . . .
Ronald Reagan called these people "everyday heroes" and he credited them -- not himself -- with America's greatness. Reagan is gone now but these everyday heroes are still with us everywhere. THIS is America! Don't ever let anyone ever tell you otherwise.

A Complete And Total Embarrassment!
Apparently, she took a class in body language and somebody told her to ourstretch her arms in welcome-like gestures and periodically move her hands palm-up in gathering motions. But nobody taught her how to make sense verbally.This is the person the United States is sending to resolve the Ukraine issue. pic.twitter.com/dhKYfR14zG

Will This Man Ever, EVER Go Away?
Dr. Fauci: "Right now, what is going on with over 90 percent, 95 -- more, 97 percent of the country is within that zone that the CDC recommends to keep the masks on and it is risky if you take it off right now." pic.twitter.com/ASDYESXih9

Right Now Poll Numbers Look DIRE For Dems
Here's a roundup of the latest poll findings from Rasmussen polling:
- A majority of voters think special counsel John Durham’s accusations against Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign are very important, and agree with former President Donald Trump that it’s a scandal worse than Watergate.
- Nearly two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, many Americans have grown tired of mandatory mask policies, but Democratic voters remain convinced that masks are effective and should be required in public places, including schools.
-Economic pessimism has taken hold and fewer Americans believe today’s children will be better off than their parents.
- The 2022 midterm elections are now 263 days away, and Republicans have a 13-point lead in their bid to recapture control of Congress.
- Most voters believe that President Joe Biden’s mental abilities have declined since he took office, and two-thirds agree with GOP members of Congress who have urged the president to take a cognitive test and release the results.
- Canada’s prime minister has invoked emergency powers in an attempt to shut down a protest by truckers seeking an end to COVID-19 restrictions, but most American voters support the so-called “Freedom Convoy” – and think a similar protest here would be a good idea.
- Only thirty percent (30%) of likely U.S. voters (not even a third) think the country is heading in the right direction.
None of these results are very good for the Democrats. But we're still a long way from the next election.
