Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The evidence is starting to pile up that the only real lasting immunity the vaccines provide is legal immunity from liability for the Big Pharma companies... Now that DC Comics is getting into Superman's sexuality - may I suggest a storyline where it is revealed that the Man of Steel has a micro-penis. And that his real kryptonite is people making fun of it. Those comics would definitely sell out... Vaccine requirements along with continued mask mandates will continue to convince parents to pull their children from public schools. Not sure if the teacher's unions realize they are basically using a "we must burn the village down to save it" strategy here... Past performance is no guarantee of future results - just ask anyone who has bet on the Kansas City Chiefs or Clemson's football team this season... Still don't understand why we started calling it a "jab" in the first place. For my whole life it has been called a "shot." Why the change? Is this a Washington Bullets changing their name to the Wizards type of thing? Or did the elites just think it would be cool to sound British during the pandemic?... Think one sure way to greatly reduce Facebook's reach and the number of people who use it in America would be to have Mark Zuckerberg run for President. Almost guarantee that would be the final straw for many on both sides. Run Mark! Run!... Speaking of getting the jab - the City of Philadelphia has backed down to the Firefighters Union and will now NOT require proof of vaccination. Good for Local 22 standing up for their membership... RIP actor Peter Scolari. Reading his obituaries I was surprised that Bosom Buddies with Tom Hanks was only on for two seasons. Seemed like more in my memory... Truly random thought - I wonder if China will have their version of Pussy Riot? If they did - would the media in the West report on them the way they did for the anti-Putin group?...  Speaking of Putin - also surprised someone in woke Hollywood hasn't proposed a re-make of Red Dawn but with the Russians as the heroes... If you were a fan of The Wire you'll recall how the favorite way for the Baltimore police to deal with crime was to simply "juke" the stats. I feel like we're seeing a "juking" of the stats on a national basis almost every day now. Needing to "juke" the stats is a sure sign of the opposite of competence or effective policies. Just look at crime in Baltimore over the last few decades.. Speaking of "juking" the stats - OSHA announced that it is suspending the requirement for employers to record workers side-effects from COVID vaccinations. This requirement will remain suspended until at least May of 2022. Wonder why people in the Biden Administration felt this move was necessary?... Limits to Infinity would be a good name for a band (or a website that tracks the National Debt)... The Biden Administration seems to be bringing back many things from the Carter Administration - rampant inflation, high gas prices, a potential hostage situation in the Middle East, etc. Wonder what's next? Perhaps government cheese or bell bottoms?... For proper elocution a person must have consistent vowel movements... Confession - I am a middle aged man who goes to Hooters but not for the skimpy outfits or even the wings. I go because they have the NFL Sunday ticket and my girlfriend is a fan of an out of market team... As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.
