Flotsam and Jetsam

Interesting that some people seem so surprised that Jeff Bezos and his brother are going into space on the rockets Bezos' company Blue Origin makes. A guy who is so fascinated by space that he builds a rocket company wants to go to space is surprising or is news? Really?...  Under the Biden Administration is it OK to pay your taxes in primal screams? Seems like that should be an option... Good question: Why was Dr. Fauci put in charge of the Covid-19 pandemic after his disastrous HIV epidemic performance? I have to imagine that now that Fauci has little political benefit to Democrats - they are going to let him burn at the stake when the pitchforks come for him... So do you remember all those awful predictions that were supposed to come be be if the English passed Brexit? Yeah those who made those predictions weren't held accountable either...

Something terribly wrong with the fact that most Americans know who Dr. Fauci is but almost none could name who the US Surgeon General is. I know I can't name the person who currently hold the position. Shouldn't that person have been the face of a medical emergency?.. Still say that Memento Mori would be a great name for a life insurance company... The population of the US in units of Canada... Disappointed the nickname "Fat Thor" never stuck for Ben Roethisberger. Maybe "Rapey Thor" would be better?... "Never play by the rules. Never pay in cash. And never tell the truth." Ross Johnson former CEO of RJR Nabisco on what he called the three rules of Wall Street. These easily could be the three rules of Washington DC as well...

Surprised more comparisons between former Patriots All-Pro tight ends Russ Francis and Rob Gronkowski haven't been made. Francis was deemed "All-World" by Howard Cosell and "retired" abruptly in 1981. He took a year off (just like Gronk) and then returned to the NFL with another team (just like Gronk). Francis played 7 more seasons after un-retiring but he came back in 1982 aged 29-years old. Gronk will be 31-years old this season... Have to wonder if Bill Belichick had dog friendly videos playing on that middle laptop to keep his dog Nike sitting there like that... Did not know this - Dr. Anthony Fauci received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2008 for his work in combating the AIDS epidemic... Bowling alleys reopen in Georgia... Remember back when "experts" were convinced that Segways were going to be the next big thing? When's the last time you saw anyone on a Segway?... On Thursday night as the Detroit Lions were about to make the 3rd pick of the draft I found myself wondering about how Matt Millen is doing. Millen had a rare disease that made a heart transplant necessary. He had the heart transplant surgery in 2018 but there's been little update on his health since...

Does the US even have a Surgeon General? If yes - fire that person who has been invisible to the general public and name Dr. Fauci to the post. If no - then name Dr. Fauci Surgeon General ASAP... No matter how many times I see this it gets me every time. This is what a true hero looks like... Has the NIT announced that they've cancelled too? This could be their time to shine and get back into some semblance of prominence! If they have announced it just shows how little that tournament matters. Nobody even noticed that they cancelled!... Heh Heh... Not to be a wet blanket but if you think science is just going to roll up their sleeves and solve the Covid-19 puzzle remember that scientists still don't fully understand how aspirin works... Heh Heh - new closing script for Realators... Out - people stealing towels from hotel rooms. In -people stealing the extra roll of toilet paper from hotel room bathrooms... Maybe the best license plate of all-time...
