Goodbye, Doctor Johnny Fever

Howard Hessman, AKA Doctor Johnny Fever 1940-2022

Good Morning, fellow babies! This is your lovable gadfly blogger Indy Republican coming at you with some sad news today.  We received word yesterday that Howard Hessman, the actor best known for playing Johnny Fever on “WKRP In Cincinnati”, passed away at age 81 after a battle with cancer.

All of us here grew up watching “WKRP In Cincinnati”, and we were always very entertained by Mister Hessman’s humor and talent. In some ways we have tried to borrow a little bit from his portrayal of Johnny Fever, hence us sometimes opening with the line fellow babies. We will all miss Howard’s humor. We felt there is no better way to pay tribute to this good man than to show a video of his first performance as Johnny Fever.

So sit back, and let Howard Hessman soothe your soul:

Chris Cillizza Makes the Case Against a Hillary Clinton 2024 Run

Word around cyberspace is that former First Lady, Senator and Democratic 2016 Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton might be running for president again in 2024.

CNN political commentator Chris Cillizza has outlined the case against another White House run by Hillary Clinton in 2024.

We will post his video below. We just wanted to say we are in agreement with Cillizza that we doubt that Hillary will run in 2024. Our reasoning and his are very much the same on this matter. The biggest reason we can think of is that it just doesn’t seem likely that the Democrats would nominate her again seeing as she lost to Trump in 2016. Even if as we believe Trump doesn’t run again. Why would the Democrats want Hillary to run again? We all might be mistaken here at the blog. But we are having a difficult time believing that if Biden doesn’t run in 2024, that the Democrats will pick a 76 year old Hillary to run. Our feeling is that if neither Trump or Biden are running that both parties would want to pick younger candidates to run. Especially since Trump and then four years later Biden both set new records as the oldest elected president’s in American history. The voters might decide that fresher and younger versus older is what the want in a president.
