Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Would love to see Charlie Sheen take over the Ellen Show. That would be a train wreck worth tuning into... "We must love them both, those whose opinions we share and those whose opinions we reject." - Thomas Aquinas... Simple solution - the Democrats simply list their nominee for President on all ballots as just J. Biden and if elected Jill Biden (technically J. Biden) takes over the White House and Joe is put into a "home"... Bill DeBlasio threatens to lay off 22,000 city workers if Feds don't give NYC bailout money. Not to be outdone - Andrew Cuomo threatens to house the laid off workers in nursing homes if Feds don't give state bailout money... "Can someone explain to me the technical difference between anarchists and the mentally ill? Is it a branding thing?" - Scott Adams with a couple of excellent questions...

No dog in the LeBron vs Michael debate but I do wonder if you put Michael Jordan on the 2011 or the 2014 Miami Heat instead of LeBron James (with Jordan being the same age as LeBron those seasons) does anyone think the Heat lose to the Mavericks or Spurs? I doubt it... Not for nothing but if someone started a rumor that "Joe Biden needs to wear adult diapers because he's lost control of his bladder"- many, many people would believe it. Such a rumor is easy to believe at this point because it is not out of the realm of possibilities. That's a problem for the Democrats... Doctor Strange would have made a fantastic Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher... Phrasing... LeBron James' Cavs were swept in the 2018 NBA Finals by the Warriors. Do you think Michael Jordan would ever allow one of his teams to be swept in the Finals? Jordan's competitiveness would not have allowed that... Bill de Blasio seems like the sort of politician that would try to reintroduce pay toilets...

- Michael Mann refuses to produce data, loses case. Can science be settled if it is based upon fraud?

- Heh Heh

- Agree 100% that the Battle of Midway is often overlooked in its importance in winning World War II.  HT Stephen Landry

I'm confused. When George W. Bush was President I kept hearing that dissent is the highest form of patriotism. Now these same people are screaming bloody murder because thousands of cops turned their backs in silent protest?... I call this one "Peaceful Protest" or "Respect is Earned not Entitled"... The word "panned" comes from the French word for "breakdowns". So in essence when a movie is panned by critics it is usually because it "breaks down" and things don't work... Just 97 more days until Opening Day in baseball... Just for old times sake - Lima Time!... If "evade" means to escape - shouldn't "vade" mean to get caught?... Once again I expect Jeff Bagwell to get more Hall of Fame votes than Fred McGriff but as I've said from the moment Bagwell retired - that's not right...
