- The four Buddhist mantras for turning fear into love.

- Elon Musk's BBC interview show journalists don't speak truth to power - they coddle it.

- Interesting interview with botanist Stefano Mancuso

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

At this point would anyone be surprised to find out that abortions at Planned Parenthood are being counted as COVID-19 deaths?... College football will be played in the fall - because financially the colleges can't afford not to. The landscape of college sports will be completely remade these next 12-months... The nine words that will win every Presidential Debate for Donald Trump; "I yield my remaining time to Vice President Biden"... "A mistake repeated more than once is a decision." - Paulo Coelho. Such wise words... Longtime Jazz coach Jerry Sloan passes. He was always a class act and a great ambassador for basketball, the NBA and the Utah Jazz... Christians who believed the Rapture was going to take millions of souls on May 21, 2011 were roundly mocked. Meanwhile statisticians who said the Wuhan Virus was going to take millions of lives are not being publicly mocked. How is that consistent? We didn't shut down the economy for the Rapture... "I plan to skip the pursuit of happiness and just be happy" would have made a great high school yearbook quote...

- Heh heh - Harry Shearer got fooled by fake congressman from non-existent congressional district. I love the fact that there was not just a fake twitter account for the fake congressman but also one for his "Chief of Staff".

- This week would have been Elvis Presley's 80th birthday. Here's the story of when Donald Rumsfeld met the King.

- After seeing this - I'm guessing Peter King won't be getting an interview from either coach in today's 4:30 game.

- Funny - Nick Dipaulo's Mitch Hedberg story

- Heh heh

- Holy crap what a shot!

- Definitely lost some respect for Mark Jackson after reading this

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If I was running for President - I'd announce that I was replacing the TSA will local police and FBI agents and that I was going to make the Monday after the Super Bowl a national holiday. That should be good for at least 10 points in the polls... Very cool - how to eat a Triceratops. Make sure you see all the illustrations... According to Deadspin - of 58 ESPN and Sports Illustrated baseball writers - none of them predicted a Tigers vs Giants World Series. In Italy they could have been arrested for those faulty predictions... In 10 years what will seem a stranger team name - the Utah Jazz or the Bronx Islanders?... Regarding Bobby Valentine - the Boston media should learn from the Internet - DO NOT FEED THE TROLL... Thank you CNN for putting the image of a self-lubricating catheter into my head. Yeah - thank you very much for that.
