Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

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...
