Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If President Zelensky doesn't win the Nobel Peace Prize this year then they should just stop handing out the award... You know somewhere in the Blue States some are watching the anti-war protestors in Russia and they are shocked - shocked I tell you - that none of the protestors are wearing masks!... Is there really a neck of the woods?... Amused to think that next year there will be dozens or hundreds of college athletes making more from NIL (Name Image and Likeness) money than any teacher or even the President of the school they attend. That could be interpreted as an indictment of the priorities of major colleges in this county... Just saying but if they nuked the Russian troops in Chernobyl that wouldn't really count - right? (And I do feel bad about joking about the use of nuclear weapons at this point but not bad enough not to make the joke)...  Pretty sure the Biden Administration will try and blame both inflation and high gas prices on the War in Ukraine. All that will do is force them later to concede that both inflation and higher gas prices started on the day Biden took office... Former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo's Covid-19 policies of putting infected people in nursing homes may have killed 5-times or more than the number of people who died in the Twin Towers on September 11th. How is this not a bigger scandal? How have we allowed this egregious act to remain unpunished? Are we really going to let the media and the Democratic Party memory hole those thousands of unnecessary deaths?... Apocalypse Later would be a good name for a band or for a blog covering world events... Reminder - if President Trump wanted a country he'd offer to buy it fair and square like with Greenland. Not invade it like this gangster Putin... Would be curious if MLB is locked out for the entire season if that would give a bump to college baseball? With NIL college baseball could be a good option for players with marginal major league aspirations to stick around for a few more college seasons which would again make college baseball even more competitive. I'm at the point where I could care less either way if MLB and the MLBPA comes to an agreement or not... Here’s an idea for Hollywood - a re-make of Beau Geste but set in Ukraine… As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.
