Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations

If I were a billionaire - instead of buying something like Twitter I would make political contributions to the opponents of any politician who supported putting masks on children or who is in favor of a Ministry of Truth. No matter the political level (local, state or federal) or party affiliation - I'd give whatever possible to get rid of those political parasites... Ultimate Spinach would be a good name for a new crypto currency or new strain of medical grade marijuana... Still very disappointed that President Biden has not offered Elizabeth Warren the position of Head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs. Even if she turned it down it would be funny (and something Kamala Harris could use against her when they both run for President in 2024)... The more things change the more they stay the same: in the 3rd quarter at Sunday's Boston Celtics playoff game against Milwaukee a loud "Yankees suck!" chant broke out at Boston Garden for no reason whatsoever... I predict that one of the life longevity hacks we'll see shortly is people sleeping in oxygen tents but with a single slice of white bread (hey it magically works keeping chocolate chip cookies fresh)... Love that Boston College has had double the number of NFL 1st round draft packs since 2016 than the Texas Longhorns - 4 to 2.... It's 2022 and since 2008 we've had 10-years of ultra politically correct Democrats in the White House - how is it possible to still have a Bureau of Indian Affairs? Surprised that with Cleveland having to change their name from the Indians (not to mention the Washington Football Team) that people haven't demanded a change to Bureau of Native American Affairs. Maybe the people actually involved in the Bureau actually don't give a crap about the name?... One thing that struck me attending the Celtics playoff game on Sunday is the fact I did not see a single ticket scalper. Not one. Hearing random dudes shouting "tickets" used to be as much a part of the experience of attending a game in Boston as overpaying for parking. Now because all the tickets are digital (all the vendors inside TD Garden are cashless as well) there  seems to be no more scalping... Whenever you're thinking you're too old to start something new - remember that famed SCUBA diver Jacques Cousteau didn't learn to swim until he was 40-years old... The slogan for the year 2022 should be "If Ayn Rand and George Orwell had a baby"...  As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.
