Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations,

Joe Biden gave a televised speech last night from the Oval Office. He did everything but hold up a copy of today’s newspaper to give full “proof of life” to the audience. He then went on to list some of the great men who have held the office without mentioning that many of these same men have had statues around the country removed by people Biden supports and Kamala Harris is willing to provide bail money for… Saw a sign on a church asking why Noah didn’t just swat those two mosquitoes on the ark and now I can’t get that thought out of my head… Surprise! Joe Biden steps down from the 2024 Presidential race and now the DOJ says they've found the recording of his disastrous testimony to Special Council Robert Hur. No need to hide the fact Biden has dementia any more I guess... TNT plans to exercise their right to match Amazon’s TV deal. Some feel this puts the NBA in an awkward situation but I feel that the easy way out is just for Amazon to buy TNT. It's not like Amazon doesn't have the money. It is a situation to keep an eye on... Donald Trump is favored to beat Kamala Harris in Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Michigan, Arizona, Nevada, and Georgia. Put another way - Trump is a -$250 favorite to be the next President of the US (meaning you’d have to risk $250 to win $100)... Genius!... NBC called last night’s speech by Joe Biden “historic.” You know what else was historic? Richard Nixon’s “I am not a crook” speech. Or Jimmy Carter’s “Malaise” speech… The movie Saving Private Ryan came out 26-years ago. The Private Ryan role was first offered to Edward Norton but he turned it down and it went to Matt Damon instead. Norton has a history of making bad choices.... Would be interesting to track how the politicians who skipped Benjamin Netanyahu's speech to Congress do in their next election. Should be easy to target those elections... The recent passing of Bob Newhart reminds me of a theory I have that the three woodsmen brothers Larry, his brother Darryl, and his other brother Darryl on Newhart were metaphysical tributes to the character Larry Darryl from W. Somerset' Maugham’s book The Razor’s Edge… Hard to believe that Team Kamala is claiming she was never the Border Czar. Not hard to believe that there are people out there who will take the lie hook, line, and sinker...
