Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

The Fed revised the jobs report down by up to a million in maybe the largest revision in 15-years. Also known as Bidenomics aka Day 2 of the DNC conference... Wonder if saying that voting for the Harris/Watz ticket in November is like voting for a second Biden term is a subtle way for Kamala Harris to blame Joe Biden if the Democrats lose the White House in November?... "The Soviets can't have an organization investigating itself - not in the intelligence community." Tom Clancy in The Hunt for Red October. Yet this is exactly what our government does today! Not even Soviet Russia would do such a thing... The hot rumor is that RFK Jr. will drop out of the Presidential race and endorse Donald Trump. The rumor is that he wants to do this because he doesn’t want Kamala Harris to win and doesn’t want his bid to cost Trump any votes. Even if he does drop out and endorse Trump he may remain on many ballots and a vote for him becomes basically a vote of protest against the current slate of choices. I can see this happening… Remembering that there are usually two sides to every story is a good habit to be in. It often helps keep you from jumping to wrong conclusions... Now the story is the Tim Walz lied about him and his wife using IVF. You know those signs that say “Days since last accident?” There should be one that says “Days since last Tim Walz lied story.” It can permanently be set to zero… Saw my first Kamala Harris 2024 lawn sign today (in deep Blue Massachusetts). Was starting to wonder if such things actually existed... Sometimes I feel bad for myself and then I remember that some people were born New York Jets and Mets fans and then I don't feel as bad... Don't fall for anyone telling you that just by sipping Tequila you can drink as much as you want and not get a hangover. Neither one of those things is true! Unfortunately I know from experience...  Earlier today I posted my quotes for today but importunely it was originally titled “thoughts for today” by mistake. It was corrected but many may have gotten the wrongly titled version. Sorry!…
