Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts amd observations.
Elon Musk said, "Any member of the House or Senate who votes for this outrageous spending bill deserves to be voted out in 2 years." He meant both Democrats and Republicans. Suddenly the continuing resolution bill was reportedly killed. Seems these politicians are more afraid of losing their jobs than interested in spending your tax dollars... Make Canada great again!... Disturbed by the support Luigi Mangione continues to receive. He was caught on video killing Unitedheathcare CEO Brian Thompson yet a crowdfund for Mangione's legal defense has received over $140,000 and a recent Emerson College poll found 41% of responded under 30 found the shooting "acceptable"... Vampire Candles would also be a good name for a band... Know an engineer working on hydrogen powered vehicles as opposed to EV's. Listening to him hydrogen really sounds like the superior technology but feel like this may be VHS vs Betamax all over again with the superior technology losing because its competitor was more widely adopted instead.. The continuing resolution bill included a 40% pay raise for members of the House and Senate. Hopefully the idea that they can't get away with things like this anymore is sinking in... The Ivy League now says they will participate in FCS postseason starting next season. The lines between amateurs and pros gets blurred a little further... Perhaps the least surprising news of the NFL season - the Falcons have benched QB Kirk Cousins and will instead start rookie Michael Penix Jr. Cousins has $65 million guaranteed left on his contract and the next shoe to drop is whether Atlanta cuts him, trades him, or perhaps make him the best paid backup in the league. Either way - they'll still be paying him... Admit that the Iowa poll that showed Kamala Harris was ahead of Donald Trump in the last election always seemed fishy. The pollster J. Ann Seltzer was retiring and might have taken some goodbye contribution on the way out the door. Many were taken in by the poll and it did seem like a last ditch effort to avoid what happened election day... Makes sense when you think of it... Could Texas' Quinn Ewers be Notre Dame's starting QB next year? The Fighting Irish alumni could certainly make the NIL money available... Didn't take long for the Biden Administration to go from saying we need a strong border to auctioning off border wall materials. This was election year posturing all along...
