Wednesday, You Heard Me

 - The Israel/Gaza war is bad enough, but there is no reason other than treachery and anti-Jewish mania to fight their war in the halls of our Congress and universities. Y’all looking for moral equity, pro Hamas viewpoints, hatred for Israel’s existence, hatred for the religion of those living there seriously need to shut the hell up, read a history book (or have it read to you if reading skills escape you) and actual thinking is just outside your skill set.

- I miss the bright headlight switch on the floor in my truck.  

- Odessa Guy loiters at a Christian rock concert, gets thrown…comes back, steals a front loader, attacks cops.  Cops shoot him.  I’m thinking the guy wasn’t fully into the concept of Christian music… or much else.

- Note: gig schedule precludes a Friday edition. Playing bass 3 consecutive nights with my dear friend Susie Beck Collis. I sure hope she doesn’t smack the hell out of me like she normally does.

- If someone says they wish we could return to 1956, it does not mean they support segregation and such…if someone says they support Israel it doesn’t mean they promote Muslim extermination…if someone says they oppose a new school tax it doesn’t mean they want kids to sit in squalor…STOP BEING INANE. Disagreement is not hatred, it disagreement; making everything about the edges is something entirely different 

- It’s always funny to hear people talk about events in which they have ZERO influence, particularly in sports. If their team wins, it’s WE did it…if their team loses, it’s THEY did it. Social psychology (before going irrevocably off the deep end) called this BIRG, basking in reflective glory, and CORF, casting off reflective failure. As far as I can tell, BIRG and CORF are the first known examples of people choosing pronouns based on things they have no control over.

- Many years ago I made a New Years resolution to quit smoking, cut back on drinking, and lose 30 lbs.  by January 4 I hadn’t seen any improvement nor progress, so just blew it all off.  Butt speaking of smoking I’m still hanging in there with the weaning, 5 or 6 a day.  Slow, but I’m making progress.

- With an ever increasing possibility of the US getting sucked into another war…I’m betting our military wishes it still still had the billions of rounds of ammunition, missiles, artillery, etc  sent to Ukraine back.

- The ever stupid NBA now has the first non binary transgender referee in pro sports history. This dipshit can’t decide anything, but can have a dramatic impact on the outcome of games…and seasons. Way to go, basketball!
