Linky Links

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thoughts I'd share.

- How Churchill's successor, Clement Attlee, gave Stalin the MiG. Some history that should not be forgotten (but seems to be being repeated by the US and China).

- From the archives: The general wisdom of Ulysses S. Grant.

- The Boulder terrorist was an illegal immigrant let in by the Biden Administration. This is the sort of thing that makes people pro death penalty.

- Jonathan Turley on Bono's misinformation.

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Greatly amused with all the anger and hatred directed at Tim Tebow and the Jacksonville Jaguars for signing him as a tight end. Why they did it is clear - Tebow remains very popular and can sell tickets for the Jags. Since his signing Tebow actually has the top selling jersey in the NFL - more jerseys sold than either Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady. Not bad for a guy lucky to take the last roster spot on the team...  Heh Heh... Speaking of Tom Brady - he actually has more career rushing TD's (25) than running back teammate Leonard Fournette (23). Just find that interesting... I hope the young people who voted for Joe Biden because they believed his pledge to cancel their student debt have learned an important life lesson about trusting a politician (but I'm not holding my breath)... It may be just me but I really don't miss the days when it seemed like Bono from U2 was either called on to comment or felt the need to speak up on seemingly every socio-political issue of the day. He's kind of faded into the woodwork which is fine with me... Would love to see the New England Patriots trade for Julio Jones. Wonder if an offer of a second round pick along with receiver N'Keal Harry would be enough to get it done?...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Alex Rodriguez needs one more run to pass Cal Ripken for 31st place all-time with 1648. You know that passing Ripken means something to A-Rod... My respect for Bono just dropped several notches. On Twitter he's following both Tony Robbins (not much of a problem) but Yoko Ono? WTF?... Who knew? Eric Aybar of the Angels is the hottest hitter in MLB - hitting .420 over the last 30 days. Aybar's improved performance this year is in large part due to cutting down his strikeouts from 1 every 7.69 AB to 1 every 9.23 AB... Quote of the day: "God is an intelligible sphere, whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere" How deep is that?... With Boston retiring Jim Rice's #14 - I wonder how many Red Sox fans will now starting playing Keno slips with the numbers 1,4,6,8,9,14 and 27? All 7 numbers wins $5k on a $1 bet using the Mass Lottery... Way cool - Billy Mays Gangsta Remix - now the scratch has met its match!
