Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

When you hear the MSM criticize President Trump for his relationship with Saudi Arabia just keep in mind that President Obama attended the funeral of Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah but skipped the funeral of Britain's Margaret Thatcher and the MSM never said a peep... Very cool!... I've always had an issue with the Fleetwood Mac song You Make Loving Fun - as opposed to what? You Make Loving Feel Like Working in a Coal Mine?... ESPN's Chris Mortensen reports that Hue Jackson is the front-runner for 11 out of 12 head coaching positions... Good to know... Speaking of NFL head coaching jobs - how many interviews do you think Condoleezza Rice has lined up?... I think the simple solution to the Oscars host issue would be to have Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally co-host. Problem solved...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

This was a classy move - by both teams... "The Bills marketing department this year has gone with the slogan 'One Heart, Beat Louder.' Our projections predict what that slogan literally tries to tell you: they're going to get beat louder this year." Football Outsiders 2018 Almanac... Bill Clinton never disappoints... "But if you don't understand what this is, its when you put your ding-dong sauce out and give them a sample." Marshawn Lynch (no relation) explaining urine testing (also from the Football Outsiders 2018 Almanac)... A thing of true beauty... This is how Buzz Aldrin treats his American flag. Do you think Neil Armstrong would be any less patriotic? Going to take a hard pass on seeing First Man... If they came out with a preview showing Jennifer Garner planting an American flag in the chest of a bad guy the movie Peppermint would absolutely crush at the box office...

- Joe "Stringbean" McConaughy - the man who smashed the Appalachian Trail speed record. Impressive! BTW - FKT is "fastest known time" (had to look that up)

- The wisdom of Charlie Munger. You should bookmark this link and read it once a week - guaranteed to improve your existence!

- How can you not root for Marcus Mariota? As an aside - Oregon is just 1-9 as a double-digit favorite since Mariota left for the NFL. Oregon is a 14-point favorite vs Wyoming on Saturday.

- This is a problem

- The historic Cassini space probe "died" this morning. Here's an interesting article on the team whose job was to "kill" it.

- Heh heh
