Terrible Lie - Nine Inch Nails

Call Me a Hole

Nine Inch Nails and Carly Rae Jepson.

Still one of my favorite song mash-ups. 

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Personally I have no issue with calling it the Wuhan Virus or the Chinese Virus but I think calling it the Kung Flu is a little bit hackey. Moo Goo Gui Panic while witty may be taking it a step too far (or perhaps not far enough)... A look at the COVID-19 statistics. The US is currently at a 20% positive test rate but only because mostly only people who've shown symptoms are tested. In South Korea it's only a 2% positive rate but that's because they have much more universal testing. Guessing in reality we are much closer to that 2% number than the 20% number... My personal favorite was the Xi Disease but neither that nor Winnie the Flu caught on... Nine Inch Nail's Terrible Lie is a song that seems to fit the times pretty good... "Experience is a hard teacher because she gives the test first, the lesson afterward." - Vernon Law... Tricks for the Neurotic would be a good name for a band... Wonder if the women in Iran would have a lower positive test rate because the forced wearing of burkas gives them added protection. The elderly regime leadership seems to be particularly vulnerable to the disease. This could be one of the positives that come from the crisis...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The massive stone lions outside the New York Public Library are named Patience and Fortitude. Two qualities that are in dire need these days... Recently rewatched Raiders of the Lost Ark and man does that movie not hold up well. It was sooo cheesy and let's be honest pretty racist...  Call Me a Hole - a mash-up of Call Me Maybe and Nine Inch Nails. Seven years old but still cool to listen to... "Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to exit the donut!" - Nick Fury in Iron Man 2 (a quote I'm thinking of posting on my refrigerator or coffee maker for the rest of the self-quarantine period)... In her new 1,400 page proposed package is Nancy Pelosi proposing giving up her government provided private jet by any chance? That woman is pure evil... Back in January the US signed the Phase One trade deal with China where they agreed to buy $200 billion in new American goods while the US agreed not to raise any more tariffs. Has there been any evidence the Chinese have begun to honor their end of the deal yet? If not President Trump should double all tariffs immediately and use the funds from the tariffs to help offset the damage caused by the Wuhan virus. More symbolic than practical yes but I'm thinking it would make many Americans feel better...

Linky Links

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

- Look at Bill Clinton's, George Bush's and Barack Obama's expectation of dealing with Vladimir Putin and the realities they found.

- How Cosmos bungles the history of religion and science. I was looking forward to the show but have frankly been underwhelmed. The original Cosmos was truly original but now there are so many good science documentaries that the new Cosmos isn't really breaking any new ground.

- New Ebola outbreak in Africa. Nothing scares me like crashing and bleeding out.

- The daily routine of geniuses.

- Christopher Walken - dancer

- Call Me A Hole. One year old and still a great mash-up.

Call Me A Hole

This could be my new favorite song.

Pure genius!

Guilty



Guilty is a song from Gravity Kills which was featured in the movie se7en. Many people think the song was by Nine Inch Nails. They're wrong.
