Sailor Steve: maybe you know the name of the guy who used to do one-man shows on PBS ca. 80's (just him and a piano) where he would do musical parodies on political subjects; for the life of me I can't recall his name...

Thanks Platapus! I've never been very good at names and that one bugged me, of late...

Also thanks from me. I didn't know that one at all.
I didn't watch too much PBS back in the day, except the British TV shows like Six Wives of Henry VIII, I Claudius and the mystery shows. Oh, and The Great American Dream Machine.

So...
You was that one viewer.... Now that I have been reminded of Mark Russell's name, I've gone on YT and found not a few clips from his shows. I also found this clip, posted in June 2016, where Russell gave an impromptu performance on the subject of the then forthcoming Election: At eighty, he was still sharp as a tack... <O>

What I find most concerning is the fact he probably believes what he's saying.
Time for a new speech writer me thinks.

Finally, an American president has acknowledged the sacrifice of the Army in taking over the air force and the airports at Fort McHenry during the revolutionary war.

It seems somebody has mistaken the celebration of July 4th with celebration of his own ego.
Swank is not the same like style, like gold and glamour alone cannot replace good taste.

I blame Admiral Nelson. If only he could of hung onto the airport and air-force for a few hours more. The US would still be a colony of ours.

I think he simply mispoke and said "airports" when it read "ramparts". He probably doesn't know what a rampart is.

Ft McHenry was more noted for the War of 1812. In the Civil war, that fort was primarily a prison.
