Funny Because It's True

BTW - don't think I could name a single Kanye song and don't know what he said to set off this firestorm and don't care but I do find the above to be funny. (Via)

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If he were still playing - would Tony Romo be one of the top 15 QB's in the NFL? Seeing some of the people starting these days - I'd have to say YES... I admit to being bothered by the election results in Vermont. Kanye West only got 1,269 votes (0.34% of the total) while white write ins received 1,942 votes (0.53% of the total). Clearly the only explanation is that Vermont is racist!... Who will be our Moses who stands up to the petty tyrants and says, "Let my people go (out to dinner and maybe see a movie)"... Have you seen that commercial about the couple chasing their runaway dog in the rain in their car? Yeah - those people shouldn't have a dog. They really shouldn't have a kid either... There's an outside chance that Tom Brady could lead the NFL in either passing yards or passing TD's - he's currently 4th in both categories. Equally intriguing is the chance that new Patriots QB Cam Newton could lead the NFL in rushing TD's (he's currently tied for 3rd) despite missing time this season due to a positive COVID-19 test...

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

- VDH on Peak Jacobinism. I think the peak has yet to hit - the real peak will come in August at the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee.

- Heh Heh - Kanye West drops out of race after Elon Musk offers him position of President of Mars

- Mount Bromo really looks like a gateway to hell

- Interesting look at The Ballad of the Green Berets. Sgt Barry Sadler lived a very interesting life and as an aside The Ballad of the Green Berets would be one of the worst lap dance songs ever.

- Comparing the epidemic curve in Sweden and New York State

- Heh Heh

- FCC approves operation of "Starlink Router" for SpaceX. Interesting to note that the device is apparently "Made in Taiwan" which must make the Chinese really happy.

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

In the next 12 months this is a real possibility - President Donald Trump wins a Nobel Prize for bringing peace to Korea and the White House Correspondents Dinner ceases to be out of shame... I agree - they should also stop calling it the Nerd Prom. How many discussions on quantum biology or arguments on Gandalf and the eagles do you think were happening at those tables?... Wait - seriously? James Comey's brother Peter works for the Clinton Foundation's law firm DLA Piper? Talk about a conflict of interest... Heh heh - funny because it's true... After hiring Michele Wolf the White House correspondents really don't have any high ground to proclaim that Trump is lowering the level of political discourse in this country...  David Pastrnak is flat out good at hockey... Just saying but the motto of the Green Berets is "the Quiet Professionals". How many White House correspondents do you think could be described as "quiet professionals"? Also how many White House correspondents do you think served in the military? If any are able to check both boxes - what is the likelihood they wasted their time attending "Nerd Prom"?
