Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Say goodbye to the TV show COPS. Paramount Network and ViacomCBS have not just pulled the plug on the show but they plan to take the show out of syndication. Over 30+ seasons of the show now being tossed into the memory hole... Still say there should be a GoFundMe campaign to replace all of the statues of Confederate generals in the South with statues of Gregg Allman... Our daily struggle with "Time Famine"... If a monogamy gene could be isolated in humans - could future prenup agreements require that the gene be activated prior to marriage through CRISPR?... "'I'm a Reagan Republican,' That means I want growth-oriented tax policies, a strong, secure national defense, limited government and maximum individual liberty." - Peter Hannaford from 2003. That quote seems to crystallize most of my political beliefs... Wow - big difference!...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I just know somehow some Eagles players are going to blame the White House "disinvite" on the New England Patriots... If it's true that less than 10 Eagles players planned to attend the White House ceremony then I don't blame the President for revoking the invitation. And how can Eagles players complain about being disinvited if none of them planned on attending anyway?... Still say that when it comes time for September call-ups the Atlanta Braves should add "The Freeze" to the roster as a pinch runner... It must be cool to be able to see America through the child-like wonder of the Greek Freak... Also still say that if people in the South really want to get rid of the statues of Confederate Generals there should be a Kickstarter to replace those statues with ones of Gregg Allman... If you see this quote from Tom Brady on NBA refs circulating on the Interwebs just know it's 100% made-up...  Rest in peace Dwight Clark. Visiting your restaurant Clark's By the Bay was a highlight of a trip my fiancee and I took to San Fran in 1989 (though the restaurant wasn't easy to get to)...

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If Kathy Griffin really wanted to set fire to her career she could put that severed Trump head for sale on eBay with the proceeds going to Planned Parenthood... I'm adding all of these drives to my bucket list... "The object in life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane" - Marcus Aerelius. Sounds like pretty good advice for using the Internet these days... Very cool. Faster please!... Mae West said it 100-years ago and it is still true today, "Those that are easily offended should be offended more often"... I'm confused - is Covfete the new Harambe? Or are we all still "stuck on stupid"?... If a monogamy gene could be isolated in humans - could future prenup agreements require that gene to be activated prior to marriage?...  It's funny because it's true!...  Was very surprised to learn that in the modern world more people die from suicide than from war and violent crime combined... I did not know this. Good knowledge to have... There should be a Kickstarter to replace all of the statues of Confederate generals in the South with statues of Gregg Allman...
