Sunday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

While I won't be watching the Beijing Winter Olympics I do have a rooting interest. I'm rooting for massive power outages. Blackouts during the Olympics disrupting China's propaganda plans to me is the only thing worth rooting for in these upcoming Olympics... Every so often you get into the conversation of how you would like to die. I always respond by saying, "I'd like to die by going over Niagara Falls in a barrel." After a pause I follow up with, "Trouble is it is so hard finding barrels these days"...  Speaking of death - I'd like to start the rumor that Harry Reid died from a mob hit. That's 100% believable. Too soon?... If the Biden Administration did try to institute Air Travel Vaccine Mandates it would basically shut down the airlines. Many travelers would forgo travel plans and many unvaccinated pilots would refuse to fly. There would be so many flight cancellations. And many conspiracy theories would be launched that Mark Zuckerberg was behind it trying to get people into his Metaverse instead of to real destinations... Evidence society is getting lazier - in the 1950's it was called "pornographic movies," in the 1970's it was shortened to "porno's," and today it is simply "porn." In 20-years it will probably just be "P"... When's the last time you can recall anyone in the Biden Administration talking about Afghanistan? Or being asked about it by the media?... Would like to do a screenplay about Jackie Gleeson being reincarnated as a centipede but being fully aware that he was reincarnated. Think that would be fun... 206 Marines were forced out of the service for refusing to get vaccinated. That was a shameful day in American history for so many reasons... Firmly believe that Jeffrey Epstein's "Little Black Book" will someday be released and the names of those pedophile "John's" who frequented Lolita Island will face the public scrutiny they deserve... Argument can be made that Jethro Tull's Aqualung is a metaphor for the Biden Administration. "Eying little girls with bad intent." "Feeling like a dead duck, spitting out pieces of his broken luck." "Old man wondering lonely." Hey Aqualung!... From a sports betting perspective - I'm glad the college football season is almost over. This season has been a disaster to my wallet...
