Very important that you listen to the very end! Eerie! Take a moment and listen to it (from 1969). How would he have known that this is what is happening?

Click on the link, and turn your sound on.

FOR THE FEW WHO DON'T KNOW: Red Skelton was a movie star and comedian on television back in the 1950s. He created a number of characters, and his show was watched by millions..

Vincennes Indiana is his hometown and you should see the memorials they have dedicated to him.  He was a well loved individual in this community.  He made many appearances, is is truely missed.

I think he's reciting and commenting on the "ORIGINAL" language, as written in the 19th century!   O0

One man's trash is another man's treasure, and Red Skelton is truly an American Treasure.


Agonizing over what cannot be is an insult to what is.

I just thought comedian's were supposed to be funny all the time?  I've never seen a serious comedian on stage...

There's a VERY thin line between "comedy" and "tragedy" and written on that fine line is life!

Me to Rob. Red was a truly great comedian and gentleman. Many a laugh he gave me. God bless him.

He was the first comedian I ever recall. He used REAL comedy. He did not have to use expressions filled with the "F" word, or endless sexual degradations. Not only was Red a comedian..he was a true gentleman. Peronsally I would not spend one cent to see 99% of the so called comedians of today.
Our country demands all our strength, all our energies. To resist the powerful combination now forming against us will require every man at his place. If victorious we will have everything to hope for in the future. If defeated, nothing will be left for us to live for.
