Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Max Scherzer  is pulled from a perfect game this week after six innings and just 68 pitches and MLB wonders why nobody cares about their sport anymore... Hard to minimize the effect Freemasonry had on the American Revolution when the Green Dragon Tavern, where the Boston Tea Party was planned and organized, was owned by the local Masonic Temple and when George Washington was sworn in as our first President he took his oath of office on the bible of the Masonic Temple of New York. And those are just two examples...  Speaking of not caring much about baseball anymore - I find it hard to muster any enthusiasm about Aaron Judge's quest to break Roger Maris' American League record of 61 home runs. No enthusiasm about that story or record whatsoever... Honestly not sure how I think or feel about this photo... Have to wonder if that Canadian school with the trans shop teacher with huge prosthetic breasts had school choice - what percentage of the kids in that school would be looking to transfer out of that uncomfortable situation. Just another reason to be pro school choice... The Diffusion of Useful Knowledge would be a good name for a blog or a Substack account... In 1993 when Japan threatened America's economic dominance Hollywood came out with the film Rising Sun. Today nobody in Hollywood has the courage Michael Crichton had to come out with a similar film regarding Communist China... Oh god - I laughed way to much at this throw (hope that ump is OK)... Could a guy who owns a landscaping business also be called a geostratigist?,,, There should have been a What If? episode where Iron Man went back in time to both kill all the White Walkers and all three dragons. Would have been a much better ending to season eight of Game of Thrones... As always if this column has made you smile or think - don't be afraid to hit the like button.
