Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

Japan released a new study that says all variants of Covid are man made. A couple of points: first it should be remembered that China and Japan are historical enemies, anyone paying attention knows Covid was released from a lab in Wuhan, and finally remember the commandment to BELIEVE THE SCIENCE... The original Libs of TikTok… First they came for the PAC 12 and I said nothing. Now they’re coming for the ACC… The story of Shohei Ohtani's interpreter embezzling million in order to gamble is pretty wild and worth keeping an eye on... Anyone who rents a home or apartment instead of owning one should not be an advocate for sanctuary cities or "no person is illegal" if they don't personally have a stake in the situation. Otherwise they are just volunteering others to have to foot the bill. They're freeloading... Analysis true!... Perhaps the best explanation of why a team like Rick Pitino’s St. John’s basketball team would turn down NIT invitations is that those teams and coaches are too busy dealing with trying to keep their rosters intact to deal with a glorified exhibition tourney. People like former coach Tom Crean never had to deal with the new basketball transfer portal or NIL… If you are looking for an idea for a startup - start by looking at older successful companies who serve a basic human need. These companies often grow complacent and are ripe targets for competition... There's a certain irony about Progressive doing boat insurance commercials on a podcast about the Titanic. If you can see that I can't help you... 1.6% is a number to remember... Don’t think it will happen but if Clemson or Florida State leave and the ACC implodes could that trigger the rebirth of Big East football? Adding teams like Syracuse, Boston College, plus Duke and Wake Forrest to a new bigger conference makes a lot of sense… Did McDonald's skip the Shamrock shake this year? Never saw any ads for one and now Saint Patrick's Day has passed... QB Carson Wentz remains a free agent. Have to think this isn't because of a lack of talent but because he doesn't seem to be much of a leader and is generally unlikeable... Good question... The corporate media says Donald Trump wants a bloodbath. This is the same media that said American should prepare for killer hornets (that never came)...
