Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Donald Trump and Robert Kennedy Jr. both promise to end aid to Ukraine unless Zelenski engages Russia on peace accords. Helps explain why both are so strong at the polling places and why corporate media are so adamant in trying to smear them... Heh Heh... Reportedly Scott Van Pelt and Laura Rutledge are in consideration to replace Suzy Kolber on Monday Night Football. I'm guessing its likely to be Rutledge as Van Pelt is unlikely to give up his routine as late-night host. ESPN has yet to learn that its the football that matters most to fans... Reminder that California could not make legal weed profitable for the state so expecting them to solve the homelessness problem is more than a bit unrealistic... Funny because its true!... An interesting figure from history is Tiberius Gracchus who was not only the grandson of Scipio Africanus but also the first man to scale the walls of Carthage. What makes him so interesting is this aristocrat later became a committed reformer for the plebeian class... Of course the Los Angeles Rams wanted to re-do Matthew Stafford's contract. That's like me saying I'd like to lose another 10 pounds. Of course I want to lose 10 pounds!... Another reminder that ultra-woke and diverse Harvard did not admit a female medical student until 1945. Less than 100-years ago... Loved the show WKRP in Cincinnati but it could never be put into syndication because the music residuals could never be worked out. Over the years many stars have passed (Gordon Jump, Howard Hesseman, and Frank Bonner). How will a resolution of the strike in Hollywood help them? Explain to me why I should care?... Don't care what you say - this is still funny... Have mentioned this before but it remains one of my favorite statistics - at the outbreak of the Civil War only one member of the Harvard faculty volunteered for service though the Harvard faculty were among the most vocal anti-slavers in the land. That faculty member was a German emigre... In pro football they have a PUP list (physically unable to perform). It would be amusing if PUP became a euphemism for men with ED (erectile dysfunction)... Funny because its true II...
