Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

How long before some people start equating limiting data (data caps) by broadband providers to limiting free speech? Don't think we're far off from that... Cool story of a wedding that took place in Lake Tahoe at the same time the Bruins were playing the Flyers... If before the season I told you the that going into March the two finalists in the Eastern Conference (Boston Celtics and Miami Heat) would be tied with the New York Knicks in the standings - you'd probably think the Knicks must be having a great season. Not so much... Think much of what passes for news but is actually misinformation, rumor or speculation could be greatly reduced if all social media platforms had the policy of simply labeling any story that uses anonymous sources as "potentially fake news." Think of how many stories from the past few years that turned out to be complete bunk that were based on anonymous sources... Speaking of fake news - remember two years ago when outlets such as CNN were touting fraudster Michael Avenatti as a hero? I haven't forgotten (which in part is why I never watch CNN)...

Much of the reporting on Russiagate was based on anonymous sources. If the media that printed those stories do not now publicly burn those sources then the only rational explanation is that the MSM was just making things up as they went along... The last catch of Rob Gronkowski's career basically won the Super Bowl for the Patriots... "Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." - Stephen Covey... So if there are separate trials could Mark Geragos represent Michael Avenatti and then Avenatti turn around and represent Geragos? That way neither could testify against the other due to attorney-client privilege... Some say hell is a man on an acoustic guitar playing Hotel California over and over. Extra crispy hell - that man is Chris Berman... Today we work less, have more leisure time and earn more. We live in an age of abundance... People who mention that Steve Jobs biological mother was an immigrant from a mostly Muslim country in order to support immigration never seem to mention that Apple would never have existed if she chose to have an abortion instead of opting for adoption. Funny how that works... 

Creepy Porn Lawyer Arrested for Domestic Violence

"Creepy Porn Lawyer" Michael Avenatti was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. Proving karma is real - and so is humor.

The photo to the left is actually from his firm's website. So was this one.

Both have been since taken down I believe.

This is my favorite (so far).

Things that make you say WTF!?! Seriously how is that a real photo?... Calling Michael Avenatti a "creepy porn lawyer" isn't an insult it's the truth. It reminds me of one of my favorite Ronald Reagan quotes, "How do you insult a pig by calling it a pig?"...  The "Pied Piper of Raccoons" - another thing that begs the question - WTF!?! Seriously WTF? Is this some sort of indication of the End Times or something?... Interesting piece by Victor Davis Hanson. Trump's success is literally driving the Democrats insane... Some people poke fun at the US Coast Guard and others seem to always forget them when trying to name the branches of the US military but I bet if you compared the Coast Guard by itself it would rank as one of the largest navy's in the world... Where do we find such men? Marine veteran, 80, will receive Medal of Honor for Vietnam valor... I'm a registered Independent but I strongly feel that any Republican that votes against confirming Brett Kavanaugh at this point should be kicked out of the Republican Party and stripped of any leadership positions in the Senate...
