Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Donald Trump is expected to name either Doug Burgum or Bill Pulte as the new head of HUD. My hope of the Rent is Too Damn High guy getting the post is slipping away... The government: "Opulence I has it." DOGE: "Hold my beer"... As the Jets Turn: first the team announced the firing of GM Joe Douglas and then news broke that owner Woody Johnson spoke of benching QB Aaron Rodgers. They may not win many games but the NYJ know how to keep the back pages of the tabloids busy. Next week on As the Jets Turn - will Aaron Rodgers be back next season?... I'm sorry but if you actually watch Morning Joe you need to get a hobby or find something better to do with your time. Personally I could care less about Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski... Charlie Munger once said, "people who rewarded cheating on a massive scale leave a trail of super-ruin in their wake" and this was said well in advance of TDS becoming a thing or the 2020 election... Time for DOGE... Napoleon once said he likes generals that were lucky. That he didn’t like losers. Guessing he wouldn’t like Kamala Harris about now… No city suffered more in the American Revolution than Norfolk, Virginia which was completely burned to the ground. A modern Carthage. All that was left out was the salting of the fields... Positive Phanatic's would be a good name for a band... Hard to argue he's wrong... Ben Franklin once said, "If you want it done, go. If not, send." He might as well been talking about sales. If you want the deal - see the customer in person. Otherwise just send the proposal... Charlie Munger once called James Clerk Maxwell a “synthesizing supermind.” Think he’d say the same thing about Elon Musk…Business idea: first there were Libs of TikTok - why not an X account called Libs of Bluesky that just posts some of the craziest things libs say on that platform...
