-VDH: Assault on the Capitol Has Let Loose the Electric Octopus

- Warning:Facebook and Twitter are "Dangerous" Even if You Never Used Them.  "There's no court of law for trying bots and algorithms." There should be! Also WhatsApp is no longer safe to use (thanks to Facebook)

- State Department Fact Sheet: Activity at the Wuhan Institute of Virology. Guilty fuckers! Don't trust China - China is asshole!

- Excellent point 

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I think the best explanation for what happened at the Capital on Wednesday may be an outbreak of Mad Human Disease... Heh Heh... King William was known s William the Conqueror to his admirers and as William the Bastard to his detractors. Politics was always thus... Remember - not even once!... I would like to put together a Justin Beiber cover band fronted by an Elvis impersonator. I would call the band Generic Ebola... Valid question... I don't think I've ever eaten at a McDonald's and thought, "I'm lovin' it!" It's always been more along the lines of, "I'm going to regret this!"... 

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I like to think that those who follow me on Twitter or read my blog would never storm the Capital. We'd storm the Library of Congress (and sit quietly and peacefully reading for hours then leave at closing time after putting our books away)... Dura lex, sed lex. Agree 100%... Happily surprised to learn that Rowan Atkinson (Mr. Bean) is still alive. Was sure he passed away a couple of years ago and couldn't understand why he was trending on Twitter... China blocks WHO from investigating origins of Covid-19. Because they know it came from the Wuhan lab and they also know they can get away with actions like this... As the playoffs begin this weekend a reminder that Tom Brady has 30 playoff victories. That's more then two thirds of NFL franchises have had in their entire existence. When Brady is done his record number of playoff wins is a record that will never be broken... On a related note - the way my brain works I can't help but wonder if the people investigating potential election fraud are the same people the NFL hired to "investigate" Deflategate...
