Friday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Saddened by the news of the passing of Michael Gambon. Loved him in his role as Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies but it was his role in Layer Cake that really stuck with me. Dying at 82 is not a cause for sadness though... Funny that as bad as Denver is as a football team the Broncos are still a field goal road favorite against Chicago. Tells you a lot about how bad the Bears are perceived around the country... The ABC News reporter who "debunked" the Pizzagate pedophile ring story was convicted on charges of child porn and faces life in prison. Sure this is just a coincidence but just to get ahead of the story let me say that James Gordon Meek did not kill himself... Amused that both Joey and his brother Nick Bosa have publicly announced that they are supporting Donald Trump. Doubt that's going to make anyone try harder to block them but still good to know...  Hunter Biden says the quiet part out loud... If I were in charge for the day being able to deduct any expenses for a second home would not be allowed plus I'd give a personal income tax deduction for every $10,000 in value of your primary residence. That would give people the incentive to own their homes outright like in the olden days when people used to hold mortgage burning parties. You’d get the deduction whether you held a mortgage or not... The Senate unanimously voted to restore the men's dress code in a big rebuke of both Chuck Schumer and slob John Fetterman. Good!... There should be a term for those whose 15 minutes of fame are up but they refuse to recognize the fact. I would like this term applied to Chris Christie... I'm an awful person for laughing at this... In addition to airing all their games on local broadcast TV, the Utah Jazz are launching the Jazz+ streaming service that would cost just $125.50 per year or $15.50 per month with a $5 single game streaming option. I've said this before but I think this may be the wave of the future. Keep in mind that almost all NFL games are already on free local broadcast TV or you can subscribe to YouTube's RedZone channel... Was not aware of this about the werewolves of Ireland... Ronald Reagan is rightly blamed for closing so many mental asylums. We should take that up issue as something both parties should be able to get behind. Sure Reagan would want that... Don't consider myself a conspiracy theorist but have to admit that learning that Hillary Clinton mainly won her NY Senate seat because JFK Fr. died in a plane crash makes me scratch my head. Wonder if RFK Jr. is aware of this?... Sad Funny because its true!... Elon Musk fired the X Election Integrity team. Am I the only one who wonders if these folks were somehow holdover from Twitter 1.0?...
