More Linky Links

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

- Covid-19 Disrupts Years of Health Progress in US. The deaths per 100,000 people in the US were bad last year - made worse by Democratic Governors killing the elderly in nursing homes with their policies.

- Heh Heh - 'Back in the NY Groove': New ad campaign launched. So that's why I'm suddenly hearing that song after decades. (Thanks Stephen!)

- Glenn Greenwald: Biden, Reversing Trump, Permits a Key Putin Goal. As has been pointed out many places the Biden Administration is now on record as being against a pipeline wanted by Canada that would have created thousands of jobs in the US but is in favor of a pipeline that will help Russia and hurt the US geopolitically.

- Bill Gates hoped Jeffrey Epstein could help him win a Nobel Prize according to report. Bill Gates really doesn't seem to have really good personal judgement. BTW Jeffrey Epstein didn't kill himself.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Not to be mean but some people would be better off continuing to wear masks. Funny enough many of these people also have coexist bumper stickers... Have long held that one of the first steps boxing should take to try and regain relevance is move from being a Summer Olympics sport to a Winter Olympics sport. There's no reason the bouts can't happen during the winter and they would get much more attention as one of the few events that can be scheduled at night. This will help with name recognition for the fighters and maybe get more interest generated in these athletes for when they turn professional... For whatever reason the past few weeks I've heard KISS's Ace Frehley's Back In the New York Groove like a dozen times after not hearing it for years...  At Harvey Weinstein's funeral I wonder how many of his victims will show up just to make sure he's dead or to get a small modicum of justice...
