More stuff I foud interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Why Greatness is More Important than Fame.  

- Interesting question - Why is Fox News so desperate to silence Tucker Carlson?  Equally interesting quote, "Fox is now demanding Tucker Carlson be silent until after the 2024 election."

- Vice News, Buzzfeed, (and Niedamierer) - dead! They may as well be the equivalent to Webcrawler. (HT Execupundit)

- Speaking of interesting - Pfizer caught funneling $10 million to Anderson Cooper to promote mRNA jabs. Used to be if you were caught with a dead girl or live boy you'd be all done in public life. Now I fully expect CNN to shrug this off.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Supposedly CNN's Anderson Cooper was punched 10 times in head by a mob in Egypt. This could have nothing to do with the protests in Egypt it could be an issue of Cooper being an openly gay man in a Muslim country. Cooper is in much more danger going to a Middle Eastern Muslim country than he ever was braving a hurricane. Wouldn't be surprised if CNN had Cooper do a tour of those countries hoping something happened just so that they could get some good ratings... Very interesting story. Sort of the anti-Ari Gold (or I guess Ari Emanuel)... February is Black History Month and Dunkin Donuts makes it Chocolate Lovers Month? Is that some sort of code?... With the Yankees signing all these has-been starters to minor league deals - you know they have placed several calls to Mike Mussina just to see if he's been working out... The things you learn via the Internet (via Mental Floss): "Although it's featured on California's state flag, the grizzly bear has been extinct in the state since the 1920s"... Holy crap - this guy is badass. Good for him. Is it bad that now I'll think of him each time I fire up a Gurkha cigar?... Julio Lugo was the Meister Brau of Red Sox shortstops. Just thinking of him leaves a bad taste in my mouth and gives me a headache... The new NFL overtime rules could play havoc with Super Bowl pools. The final score payouts and score change payouts could be chaos... I was praying that Ben Roethlisberger would be quoted saying "Giggity giggity" during yesterday's Super Bowl media day. No such luck...
