Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

So I'm getting the feeling my bet for the Patriots to win the Super Bowl this season is not going to cash. Call me a pessimist but I'm getting that distinct feeling... One of the ways the pandemic benefited China is countries like America spent more on goods during lockdown because we were spending less on services (going out to bars, restaurants, concerts, etc.). In many cases those goods were coming from China. Please try your best not to buy anything from China... A modest proposal - I suggest the US Women's Olympic Swim Team adopt Alice Cooper's Only Women Bleed as their official theme song. Transgender women don't get their periods (yeah I'm an awful person for suggesting this but I found it humorous)... The Double Fisted Monkey would be a good name for a bar (or a name for a person who would make that Alice Cooper joke above)... Not sure what the over/under for wins for the Miami Dolphins will be next season but based upon their handling of Brian Flores - I'm going to be betting the under. Hard. Conversely, if Brian Flores is hired as a head coach - I'll bet that new team's over equally hard... If I were President for a day - I'd sign an Executive Order banning airlines from trying to sell credit cards or loyalty rewards programs during flights. Enough already!... Think it would be hilarious if Dave Chappelle posted an apology to America for being friends with Patton Oswalt. Of course Chappelle would never do that to a friend though... Seriously think Serbia should expel all Australian diplomats over the way Australia is handling Novak Djokovic. They should let Australia know the diplomats will be welcomed back after Australia elects a Prime Minister who isn't a petty fascist.... Invincible Ignorance would be a good name for a blog (or a competitor to Twitter)... Amusing that if you think of the Harry Potter world as an analogy for our current situation then a very good argument could be made that Donald Trump would be the equivalent to Albus Dumbledore. If JK Rowling ever mentioned that as a valid theory - can you imagine the number of progressive heads that would explode? Hope she does that just out of spite - that would be hilarious... I'm boycotting Applebee's because of their hijacking the theme to Cheers. That's not right... As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.
