Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Who is currently involved in a bigger cover-up - Vladimir Putin trying to hide the real number of dead Russian soldiers in Ukraine from the Russian public? Or Biden Administration, CDC, and FDA officials trying to hide the true myocarditis and spike toxicity numbers and vaccine deaths from the American public?... Some interesting Twitter numbers; supposedly there's 340 million total subscribers but just 186 million are active 'monetizable' users. Elon Musk has 92 million followers meaning more than 27% of all users follow Elon... If the NBA MVP voting were to take place today instead of before the end of the regular season - there's no doubt in my mind that Giannis Antetokounmpo would be the runaway winner. And rightly so.  His greatness was badly taken for granted this season - he's clearly the best player in the entire world... For health officials to regain any credibility in the US they must first admit that the vaccines were not "safe and effective" and that rushing them through the process was always based upon politics and not science or accepted procedures... You learn something new every day. Today I learned that "psychedelics" were first called "psychodelics" but the name was changed because proponents were afraid the "psycho" prefix would make people think the drugs made you crazy... If I were in charge for a day - I'd make a rule that Senators and Congressmen don't get paid unless they present a balanced budget to the President for signature. Think that's the only way to curtail spending in the country. This would never come to pass but its what I'd like to see... Speaking of Congresscritters - I predict not only will Liz Cheney lose her re-election bid in November but then she will sign on to be a token Republican talking head for MSNBC or The View but whatever show she signs on with you’ll see their ratings drop by half within six months. So let it be written - so let it be done... The Boston Red Sox are on pace for over 100 losses. This is a team being set up for a fire sale come the trade deadline... Please do not taunt the dynamite monkey... One conspiracy theory I think doesn't get enough wide-spread consideration is the theory that Hallmark greeting cards was founded by Satan. Think about it... Looking forward to the Boston / Miami Eastern Conference Finals in the NBA. Go Celtics!… As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button. Also please subscribe (it's FREE) and share with your friends. Thanks in advance...
