Thanksgiving Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

First off HAPPY THANKSGIVING to you and yours. Remember Thanksgiving calories don't count - so eat to your heart's content... The media were all over the Rittenhouse trial but how come the Elizabeth Holmes / Theranos trial hasn't gotten the same coverage? Not to mention the Ghislaine Maxwell trial. If you're still getting your news via cable TV or newspapers - you're a sucker... With all the crime and "woke" District Attorneys releasing even the worst criminals on minimal bond - I have to think that if Bruce Willis' Death Wish came out now instead of 2018 it would be the number one film in the country... Always amused to see any advertisements or products proclaiming "the natural way for male enhancement." If there were natural ingredients that would increase the size of your Johnson - men would have been gobbling that ingredient by the handful since the moment it was discovered. It doesn't even matter what that ingredient was. It could be poison ivy and men would still eat it as often as possible. It wouldn’t be a secret... President Biden has 15.5 million followers on Twitter. If Donald Trump was allowed back on the platform - how long do you think it would take him to double that number? One day? Two days? A week?... Swaggering Glory would be a good name for a band (or a WWE wrestler)... With the price of gasoline at historic highs how long before we start hearing stories of people syphoning gas from stranger's cars? Waiting for that one story of a thief trying to syphon gas from an RV but putting the hose into the septic port instead.... Is Court TV still a thing? With all these major trials going on about the same time you'd think Court TV would be front and center in the spotlight but I'm left wondering if they even still exist... If the natural way for male enhancement was poison ivy then Budweiser would have a Penis Mightier beer with poison ivy extract and Zinc oxide (the main active ingredient in Calamine lotion). It would be the number one beer in the world...  Personally I think we should start calling diarrheas "ass COVID." Who's with me?... If you ranked all the Harry Potter books or movies - can we all agree that Chamber of Secrets would come in at the bottom of both lists?... Fetishized Blood Sport would be a good name for a new cable news network that had dueling anchors - one from the Left and one from the Right. Viewers would think one of the anchors wasn't telling the truth depending on your political viewpoint or would have to figure out where the truth lies in the middle... The original Internet - ARPAnet- was developed and paid for by the military for the primary purpose of responding to national security concerns. Is it ironic or sad that now the Internet also poses one of the biggest security risks to the nation through cyber threats and other dangers...
