Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Excited for college football! Has the Air Raid really come to Madison? Will be interesting to watch the normally plodding Wisconsin's offense under new OC Phil Longo... This is a very dark question but I'm asking it in all seriousness - I know many have pointed out that people overwhelming in favor of abortion are Democrats and that they are potentially aborting their own future voters but I also have to wonder how many people suffering from mental illness that also commit suicide identified as Democrats? Would be interesting to see those numbers. Guessing it may be north of 60%... Surprised to learn that there is actually talking allowed in Buddhist silent retreats. Students are allowed to chant at certain times and also to have meetings with their teachers. Guess I just assumed you were silent for the whole duration... China is building more NEW coal powered generation plants (243 GW) than America has coal powered power plants. Let that sink in... Amusing that Michigan's OC Sherrod Moore will serve a 1 game suspension in the first game but will be the interim head coach in game 3 for the Wolverines. Looks like a big FU by Jim Harbaugh to the NCAA. Oh you wacky NCAA… Homo sapiens sapiens actually means "the man who thinks and knows he thinks." That's pretty deep if you think about it... Listening to Franz Liszt often makes me think of the score to the movie The Hunt for Red October. And on other occasions of Bugs Bunny cartoons... Considering buying a beeper or Walkman and wearing it ironically. At least I could get some practical benefit from the Walkman as I listen to old cassettes. Would also consider wearing either funny... Isn't it unusual that something labeled "health insurance" doesn't do more preventative care? You would think that monetarily it would make sense. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure or in this case insurance reimbursement funds... Yesterday was the anniversary of the installation of the "Red Phone" in 1963 which connected Moscow and the White House for instant communications in times of emergency like the Cuban Missile Crisis. Makes you wonder how often it is actually used or when the last time it was tested was... Should be noted that with SMU, Cal, and Stanford potentially headed to the ACC. That leaves Washington as the lone major program left in the Pac 12. Think they're hoping Washington State or Oregon State really steps up their games... "Electricians have to strip to make ends meet" would make a great bumper sticker... Who is actually looking for multiple ways to skin a cat? Want to know so I can stay away from these psychopaths...
