Monday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

If Joe Biden does decide to stay in the presidential race what are the odds the next debate is cancelled and the Democrats make deep fakes of their own to show him as competent? The first rule of holes is if you find yourself in one - is stop digging. But I don't think Joe Biden has learned that lesson... Think the odds of a person leaving a specialty sneakers store in Massachusetts wearing a Yankees cap has to be 50%... The older I get the more I appreciate Ron Paul... Sad to learn that the great Martin Mull has passed away. He was 81... The movie Apollo 13 came out 29-years ago. Never know the movie was based on the book Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13 by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger. I'll have to get that book... Reminder... For the longest time thought the first MiG came into US hands via Russian defector Lt. Belenko documented in MiG Pilot but it was actually Chuck Yeager and Tom Collins testing a MiG in Okinawa that came from a North Korean defector... Question has to be asked - will Joe Biden weaponizing the deep state spell the end of the Homeland Security Department? Will historians view appointing Alexandro Mayorkas as Director as a blatant attempt to kill the whole purpose of the Department?... Before there was readily available porn there were Robert Palmer music videos... Hard to believe but the movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory starring Gene Wilder came out 53-years ago. Grew up watching repeats of that movie on TV. Later heard that the movie title was changed from Charlie in the Chocolate Factory because the US was just leaving Vietnam and Charlie was slang for the Vietnamese soldiers... True!... The Air Force hoped to be the ones to put men into space but the White House wanted the civilian NASA to be in charge. The irony is NASA originally only hired military pilots as astronauts...
