Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

"I don't need a ride - I need ammunition. And also $48 billion dollars." - President Zelenskyy (probably)... Reminder that while the corporate media is trying to distract you with sexual misconduct allegations against Elon Musk - child porn was found on Hunter Biden's laptop and no one in the MSM has reported on that... A court in New York is trying to decide if Happy the elephant, who has lived at the Bronx Zoo for 45-years, qualifies as a person. Crazy as that sounds the even crazier thing is if she is granted "personhood" there's surely other lawyers out there that will argue that since Happy the elephant lived at the Bronx Zoo for 45-years that she has squatters rights and now legally should own the zoo... Think Canadians should change the name of the airport in Montreal from Trudeau International to Freedom International. That would be a good rebuke to the shame the actions of creepy dictator Justin Trudeau has brought to Canada and to his family name... In the 1930's Winston Churchill was writing for magazines. He wrote one article called "Will there be a Woman Prime Minister" but the editors at the magazines vetoed it on the grounds it was too fantastic. Think Churchill would have loved Margaret Thatcher... Social Darwinism? Is that like social drinking? I only believe in evolution when with friends and then only in moderation?... Monster Thunderbolts of Wisdom would be a good name for a blog or a Substack account... Speaking of Churchill - came across a phrase of his that I think aptly describes the woke - "flaccid sea anemones of virtue who can hardly wobble an antenna in the waters of negativity." The man had a way with words... The Depressive Spiral of Having Fast Food for Lunch or Dinner should be recognized as a mental health illness in the next issue of the American Psychiatric Association DSM. Many of us have felt that regret turning into physical and mental nausea after such a bad life choice...  They say that Saint Augustine did something very bad as a youth and it was his guilt that turned him to Christianity. I wonder if what he did was worse than working for a Hillary Presidential campaign?... As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.
