Once again it's BORGNINE SATURDAY - and not a moment too soon.


Put the Ethel Merman records under lock and key for the day, it's Borgnine Saturday! This majestic holiday comes but once a year, and thank Borgnine, you're in it now.

Some - but not all! - Borgnine Saturday events are trousers-optional.
Read invitations carefully to avoid any unpleasantness.


Spend the day appropriately. Take turns reading aloud from the family copy of Ernie: The Autobiography. Remember the great taste of the all-too-short-lived beverage, Borgnine's Coffee Soda. And of course, fire up the entertainment system and savor highlights from your home library of Borgnine classics; we'll even help you get started. Below, enjoy the the wonderful Ernie-centric travelogue by Jeff Krulik, Ernest Borgnine on the Bus in its entirety, courtesy of the filmmaker.

And remember: We're all Ernest Borgnines.

The Emotional Finale to Sunday's Special Service With Rev. Branch

To view on YouTube, click the above image. To watch via Vimeo, see below.



Rev. Reverend Raymond Branch played and sang for about 90 minutes straight at the Heavenly Rainbow Special Service fundraiser on Sunday. Attendance wasn't anything you could call a crowd, but those who showed were generous, as were a few online donors.

Visibly overcome, Rev. Branch closed 90 minutes of music Sunday with this emotional performance, "Love Lifted Me;" he almost doesn't make it through.

"I haven't cried for 55 years... I'm too tough to cry," he insists, wiping away a tear. Moving whatever your beliefs.
