Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Dear Men's Health or Dr. Fauci - will seeing naked pictures of Bette Midler kill the coronavirus? Asking for a friend... So at least self-quarantining has given us this...  PSA - Jack Daniels is not just for breakfast anymore... Joke from the past - Pay Your Bills!... Something to think about - prior to the US invasion of Iraq, UNICEF estimated that between UN sanctions that created shortages and the brutality of Saddam Hussein roughly 5,000 Iraqi babies (children under 5-years of age) died or were killed every month. That's 60,000 babies every year...

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

An underlying problem with today's media is they don't spend enough time telling people about heroes like Major Brent Russell Taylor and too much time on self-aggrandizing asshats like Jim Acosta... Heh Heh... This Steven Pressfield post on What Works and What Doesn't (when it comes to motivation for writing) reminds me of the quote from Annie Dillard - "How we sped our days is, of course, how we spend our lives"... There should be a unit of measure called "the Acosta" where every time Jim Acosta appears on air CNN loses .01 ratings points and for every five times CNN loses an advertiser... I think President Trump would win a lot of good will among GOP die-hards by offering an important posts to Scott Walker. Can you imagine the number of heads on the Left that would explode if he tried to make Walker Secretary of Education?...  Heh heh - speaking of open positions in the Administration... Conversely in a show of bipartisanship new House Speaker (assuming that happens) Nancy Pelosi should throw Hillary Clinton to the wolves over the email server investigation. I think this would secretly please many people on the Left who just want Hillary to go away and it would make Pelosi look evenhanded in any moves against Trump regarding the Mueller Investigation. Just saying...

I'm guessing that most Iraqi's are pretty thankful that Saddam Hussein was removed from power (and from his mortal coil).

GI Joe Villains

Strange how some morsels of information just jump out at you. I was reading this article on Amazon's fan-fiction portal Kindle Worlds when this tidbit jumped out at me; "In the case of GI Joe, for instance, the villain can't wear a Yankees cap."

All of a sudden I couldn't help thinking that this guy doesn't qualify as a GI Joe villain. And I found that amusing.
