Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to SDA Late Nite Radio. Tonight, for your delectation, here from the 1942 movie Orchestra Wives are the Glenn Miller Orchestra, with Tex Beneke and The Modernaires, performing I’ve got a Gal in Kalamazoo ¤ (7:43), including, in the second half of tonight’s show, one of the great dance routines by the famous Nicholas Brothers. Interestingly, perhaps, a young Jackie Gleason acts the role of the band’s bass player in Orchestra Wives, and Harry Morgan is the soda-jerk.
Your Reader Tips are, as always, welcome in the comments.

I’d like to take a moment here to thank all the SDA Reader Tips contributors who have been helping to maintain the Reader Tips value proposition for all the viewers of SDA. Thanks for keeping in mind that we SDA readers can’t see what you’re seeing in your browser, how to get there, and why it’s important for us to take the time to view it; we can only see what you tell us to look at and how to get there, and why you tell us it’s important! We’re relying on you, folks, to give us good directions where to look, and why we should take the time to go there. So, like I said, thanks.
Looks like the Russians now have the balls that the West has long since lost in the depths of their angst about cultural relativism and human rights
The Russians seem to understand the proper way to deal with pirates.

This was an interesting article. As to its validity. You will have to decide. I will wait till further discoveries if any.

Article about the Swedish cartoonist attacked today. (Don’t know about alleged attempted murder, a bit of hyperbole, but I wasn’t there). I don’t know if “the west’s” tolerance will still continue to be so easily granted.
At the bottom of page 2, are a variety of what he calls “Mocons” – icons of Mohammed, some of which are amusing.
The drawings are very rough, I must say. From Pajamas Media:

Nice pick Vitruvius, I love the bowler hat mutes the horn players have, and those boys sure can dance!

If true, then as Ace says this is the biggest news ever broken and confirmed on a blog before hitting the mainstream press.

Further to the tip I offered last night, The CBC National offers a teaser on convicted pedophile Graham James.
http://www.cbc.ca/video/#/News/ID=1491442326
The relevant bit begins at the 9:19 mark.
The Ceeb is being coy as hell about the whereabouts of Mr. James but there are some clues in the video.

Via Drudge, this morning, I linked to a Politico story about the left being upset at the Wall Street Journal for including a picture of SCOTUS nominee Elena Kagan playing softball. Their point is that it suggests she’s gay. I think it’s a bit of a stretch to link softball and lesbians but, hey, what do I know?
However, what did strike me as funny was the page layout. Directly beside the photo of Kagan is another article with the following headline: “Two Oil Firms Tie Rig Blast to ‘Plug'”. Below that entry is another article with the headline: “Strapped States Find New Virtues in ‘Vice'” Am I the only one that finds these choices for wording and placement hilarious? Am I really demented or is this quite clever?
See for yourself

This is buried at CBC and will likely not be reported on very much. Bill Graham testifies at the Afghan committee and basically says that the libs thought that handing the detainees over to the Afghans was the best thing to do at the time. He also admits that the Conservatives improved the original Liberal agreement. Important news,unfortunately the Ms. Jaffer fiasco will get all the attention.
