For releasing inhibitions:
Where
are all those tree huggers when you really need them? The
newest scheme for making money in this state that’s tough on business, is
cutting down hundreds of acres of forests for solar farms. I’ll take shady groves,
green copses, rippling streams and old stone walls. I guess hugging trees
depends upon which side of progressive you are on. And the nuttiness beats on.
Continuing
on in this the world of confused loyalties, I see where the
Koch Brothers, hated by Dems, are saying they will donate to Dem candidates who
vote against Trump’s tariffs. I guess pro-business depends on which side of conservative
you are on.
I
love the aroma of pure unadulterated chicken broth
simmering on a stove.
One
of the more disgusting elements of our society are those
who loot the homes of people who were evacuated because of wildfires.

Yesterday
I rhapsodized over fresh local corn, but several reminded
me that I missed it big, that it is also prime time for fresh local tomatoes. I
see many a glorious smile from faces staring longingly at plates full of those
red beauties.
The
new CBS show premiere, “Pink Collar Crime”, gave me the
impression that they were trying to justify criminal acts. Frankly, it was a bit
weird.
I
came across a survey that was designed to evaluate the differences
between, not men and women nor whites and people of color, but crunchy and
puffy Cheetos. You know the important things in life. First you should know
that you get 104 puffy’s in a bag compared to 378 crunchy’s. People think that
puffy’s are cheesier and leave a better aftertaste, but they think crunchy’s taste
better. The differences though are quite close and come down to slight personal
variances like the Puffy’s being too large for average mouths or the crunchy’s
being too hard for older teeth. Science marches on.
The
Governor of RI has been calling herself the new business
candidate, and yet yesterday to compete with a rascally opponent of the Sanders
ilk, she came out strong for progressive business endangering programs. No
wonder in this state we have a greater need for a Psychologist Laureate than one
of lyrical talents.
One
thing that bothers me is how small verbal lapses of ten, twenty,
thirty years ago are now blown up into major hate headlines.
Speaking
of looters, the idea of Medicare for all looks like
a calculated attempt to redistribute wealth. Pure and simple.
If
you think the puns I publish are bad, you should see the
one’s I reject.
We
have two new residents here in Newport – one the personal chaplain
of Queen Elizabeth II who will set up shop for a month at one of the local Episcopal
churches. Judge Judy who just bought a
very once home on a hill is the other one. One sits at the righthand of the Queen,
and the other thinks she is the Queen.
Sorry,
I have been a little overly wordy about local affairs. But, as I have always said,
if it’s bad its happening here first. And if progressives like our bad, they’ll
be bringing it to you next.
One
thing that President Trump is learning but not accepting
well is that the Republican party is not made of lemmings.
The
Answer:
K2 of skiing fame is not located in Nepal, but in
Pakistan. Bonus: The great friend of
the fighting for freedom USA a was Marquis de Lafayette. 19 years old! Some kids
around here don’t even begin looking for work until they are 20.
The
greatest of elite chefs will admit that they often luxuriate
in a Big Mac. Those who can’t admit that, you don’t want to know. Enjoy your
cravings!
