Thursday

- Seems unhappy people stay unhappy until THEY decide to change their circumstances.  Can’t force them. Can’t legislate or legally compel them. 

- I love fresh French bread, until I cut a slice to find the loaf is nearly hollow. For this one reason alone I wish grocery stores still had scales for shoppers

- Shriners Hospital ads have been running for decades featuring two kids who just HAVE to be in their mid-late 30s by now.  Methinks it’s time to get new spokeschildren.

- I’ve been hearing terms like short stock, hedge fund, margin calls, dozens of others, for decades, and have no earthly idea about what they really mean. My gut feeling is these things are ways for those with money to take money away from others while protecting their own.

- Went and had nuclear medicine testing at VA Cardiac section the other day (don’t ask)…results pending but I warned them (half jokingly) that they were all in danger if I didn’t get coffee soon. Just when I was starting to drool in anticipation of wanton violence, I was cleared for caffeine. Good thing!  I was further encouraged to drink more than usual amounts of caffeinated beverages, as caffeine really speeds up removal of radioactive and other unpleasantries 

- Males should be able to participate in women’s sports, but only as entrants ineligible for trophies or setting records. In a foot race for example, a biological male could cross the finish line 5 seconds before any female finishers, but the winner would be the first female across the line. This isn’t hate speech, no kind of phobia, but just plain common sense. Personal identity really has nothing to do with biological categories, and should not be celebrated or even recognized as legit. Next thing ya know we’ll start seeing horses that just could not compete with other horses running in human races, so called female pro golfers being allowed to have infinite numbers of mulligans or ‘do over’ shots, etc. 

- I’m always amazed but never totally surprised at the new highs of stupidity being vomited up by progressive socialists. Seems there is yet another movement to rewrite history and state the US was really the bad guy in WWI/WW2, because we forced Japan to attack Pearl Harbor, we forced Nazi Germany to extinguish over 6 million Jews…I genuinely believe this level of abject ignorance of truth really turned into a tsunami of bullshit during the Obama crisis, er, presidency.  Remember ‘we just need to offer terrorists better paying jobs?’  Yeah. We got to stop for a second and examine what made these people so stupid, and why they think we are.
