Flotsam and Jetsam

 Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

There are no memorials planned tomorrow at Ground Zero because of the lockdown rules in NYC. All off-duty firemen and police officers should gather there tomorrow with "Fuck DeBlasio" signs. Who would arrest them?... Potatoes were forbidden in England until the early 18th century for the simple reason - potatoes aren't mentioned in the Bible. You know what else isn't mentioned in the Bible - England!... Probably not a good idea to criticize Elon Musk on Twitter... Is it ironic that many people who are against genetically modified foods in Africa and elsewhere somehow have no issue with the genetically altered strains of marijuana they buy in the US?... Who does Taylor Swift have in her NFL survivor pool? Why hasn't she commented on it? What is she trying to hide?... The way Hollywood is going I wouldn't be surprised if someone pitched a big-budget re-make of Paint Your Wagon starring the cast from Hamilton. It would make $0 at the box office but it could sweep the Oscars under the new rules...

  1. Hey, now, Paint Your Wagon is my 4th favorite musical. Why wish ill upon it? (Other than the despicable "I talk to the trees" number, I mean.) At least it's not blatantly anti-American like South Pacific.

  2. You keep a list of favorite musicals? Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)
