Mel Blanc said he combined Bronx and Brooklyn accents to come up with Bugs' voice. See https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcedlOZkwVo Not to pick a nit, but in Rabbit Rhapsody he clearly says "heard", not "hoid" See the clip at 1:19 All that aside, both Rhapsody Rabbit and Long Haired Hare (the one where he poses as Stokowski) are classics.

It is very much more nuanced than that. The Moore case involves a number of tricky issues, including: whether realization is required for someone to be taxed on income; whether income earned by an entity (e.g., a corporation or partnership) can be attributed and taxed to an owner of the entity; and whether income earned by a foreign corporation over a 30 year period can be taxed to a shareholder; the scope of the Direct Tax Clause; and whether all of the foregoing are limited to foreign corporations or whether they apply to all types of entities and their owners. I just finished listening to yesterday's oral arguments in the case, and if anyone is interested they can be heard here, although some familiarity with Supreme Court precedent would be helpful: https://www.c-span.org/video/?531893-1/moore-v-united-states-oral-argument

That was the best part of the cartoon. I also like the part where Bugs shoots an audience member who is coughing too much right before he starts to play (something that could not possibly be included in a cartoon today). The sound effect of him blowing the smoke out of his pistol is classic.

Interesting story about this cartoon, "The Cat Concerto". Shortly before its release Warner Brothers copyrighted and released a very similar cartoon featuring Bugs Bunny, "Rhapsody Rabbit". Both featured similar sight gags and plots and Liszt's Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2. Each studio accused the other of plagiarism.

Wouldn't be the first time Paxton filed a baseless lawsuit. http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?551158-Texas-Sues-Georgia-Michigan-Pennsylvania-and-Wisconsin-at-Supreme-Court-over-Election-Rules&highlight=Paxton

a/b = c means that a = bc. So if a is 1 and b is 0, then 1 = 0c = 0, which apparently was too advanced for the teacher and principal.

I should add one more show, a slightly obscure one that ran for only one 30-episode season in 1964-1965: The Rogues. It was about an extended family of retired con artists who could be persuaded to con unscrupulous marks who really deserved it. The cast included David Niven, Charles Boyer, Gig Young, Robert Coote, and Gladys Cooper. Although it won a Golden Globe for best TV show it wasn't renewed. One reviewer likened it to Mission Impossible (the TV show) with humor.
