Wednesday Flotsam and Jetsam
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Still hold to my theory that there's no way Joe Biden runs in 2024 and that he'll announce his withdrawal soon. Think this may be why Katrine Jean-Pierre posted then deleted that Tweet as if she was posting for the President as a resume booster for when he drops... Have you noticed that corporate news doesn't do any reporting out of Afghanistan these days. Been quite a while since they have. They're hoping nobody notices... Hard to imagine but prior to the 1973 oil embargo - the price of oil was below $10 a barrel... Tim Ferriss likes to equate having the intention to meditate to an act of meditation itself. May be wrong in this but that's like me intending to play in the NBA so truthfully being able to say I play in the NBA... Silly that it bothers me but it does. JFK is often held out as a Civil Rights martyr but his Administration dragged their feet on Civil Rights legislation before Congress which is the main reason for the March on Washington and MLK Jr.'s "I have a Dream" speech... Question that keeps me up nights - was Trey Lance a more expensive bust than JaMarcus Russell? Need to factor in the draft capital into the equation... Who knew? Some people recommend soon after witnessing a traumatic event that they should play Tetris - soon after but normally within 24-hours to help prevent flashbacks. Also helps lower PTSD... Amused by fact that the large ceremonial doses of ibogaine can produce fatal cardiac effects in roughly 1 out of every 300 participants and ibogaine is listed as a Schedule 1 drug by the government but the Covid 19 vaccines can do the same (at about 1 per 1,000) and is pushed by the government for people to keep getting boosters. Totally harmless according to the government... Sad that I consider myself a history buff and yet I missed VJ Day. President Truman announced the Victory over Japan on August 14, 1945 and VJ Day is commemorated on August 15th... Not for Menstrual Cramps would be a good name for a bar. My mind works differently than most... Might have been more amusing if Hunter S. Thompson intimated that it was McGovern's VP choice, Thomas Eagleton, that was addicted to ibogaine instead of Edmund Muskie as ibogaine may be fatal to alcoholics (like Eagleton)...
