Friday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

I hope the success of this year's New England Patriots team has put to bed the silly complaint that Bill Belichick the GM is was somehow holding back Bill Belichick the coach... Who do you speak with to get the AP Style Book to change the name of the comics page to "Wisdom of the Experts" for those newspapers that still have a comics page. I mean the so-called "experts" have become a joke so why not... For the last 15-years the Army-Navy game has gone under the total. I think this is the year it goes over. I mean the total is just 33.5 points... A bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives to outlaw any testing done on dogs. It bugs me to no end that such a bill is even necessary because of the lack of common sense or decency of some evil people (looking at you Anthony Fauci)... Also would like to see the term "yeast infection" changed to "fire in the hole." Sadly I have the sense of humor of a 12-year old boy... One thing overlooked in Michigan's success this season is the fact that they hired younger coaches to surround Jim Harbaugh this year. Younger coaches are more in tune with the latest in offensive and defensive scheming and great with recruiting. That bodes well for Notre Dame and their young coaching hires... How great was Chuck Yeager? He was the only person Bo Jackson ever asked for an autograph... "Basically, our organization is run on COVID money now." - Pfizer scientist... House  of Wisdom would be a good name for a blog... America's sustained competitive advantage stems from our vast natural resources and our freedoms. Of the two our freedoms are by far the most important and irreplaceable. And we are chipping away at the bedrock of our freedoms - sometimes it seems with sledgehammers... Not sure which "not guilty" verdict will make me more upset - Ghislaine Maxwell's or Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos. Have the feeling we are being set up for one of those two to skirt any responsibility for their actions. If both go unpunished it could portend the end of the Republic... Reminder - at this time last year there were some state and local governments threatening to turn off the water and power to homes of people who were not quarantining to the officials level of satisfaction. Most of these officials are still in power... Sorry but that little girl in the commercial who saves the tiny snowman by stuffing him in the freezer and checks on him all year has severe mental illness. And her family seems to be pretending that she doesn't... As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.
