low of 6.9 mil (Versus 10.4 in 2018). – ABC (David Muir) leads the network news
broadcasts by a significant margin over NBC. CBS has lost ground since turning

What if
there were no hypothetical situations?

One thing that the lackluster Emmy ratings
may have showed is that more people are still looking for good programming on the
networks while critics and nominee electors are all agog about many not-so-well-known
streaming shows. And watching stars slobber over each other is becoming tedious.
Some companies
are using Alexa as their HR department interface. “Alexa, I need a job”.
Duh Headline if the Morning:
The Four RI Congress Puppets, are in favor of impeachment proceedings.
An army
of very large Lasius Nigers is called GIants. Shoot me.
Bernie’s new wealth
tax proposal is essential a tax on estates before death, for every living year.
Assets like Art could decline precipitously. I think that banking aboard will become
an even significant industry than now. Can you spell B-o-l-s-h-e-v-i-k?
“I’m sorry”
and “I apologize” mean the same thing except when you are at a funeral.
Moderate Dems
in safe states who had been against the Impeachment thing have now come over to
inquiry status to stave off the possibility of the left running candidates
against them. That’s the big political footnote of the day.
If the polls are right today
about Warren’s ascendancy, it is shaping up as a real/left right choice for 2020
– voters who want something for nothing and voters who are willing to pay their
own way. Wouldn’t that be a truing point for America,?
While many complained
that they would move to Canada if Trump was elected, in reality many
philanthropists and all with dough, would be forced to move out of the USA of Bernie
was elected.
The Kenyon cornmeal
company in tiny Usquepaug RI is still grinding cornmeal between old stones, just
as it has been doing it for 350 years. It is still the main ingredient for pancakes,
clam cakes and delicious traditional Johnny cakes. But the newest owner of this
is historic mill is more of a grinder than a money minder, so that the company is
now caught between a stone and a hard place. Alas. But, aha! An angel may be coming
up the lazy Queen River to keep the old mills a grinding.
I don’t know how many
of you are familiar with the Johnny Cake, a cornmeal pancake, but they are delicious.
They are quite popular up here. I like them with oozing butter, but everybody
has their own favorite JK accoutrement. Most people don’t know that they were
originally called “Journey” cakes, as people made them for sustenance during long
colonial days treks. And I always thought they were named after Johnny Kenyon.
A local headline reads,
“NASA Astronaut to become first Brown Alum in space,” At initial glance I thought
it was about diversity, not the University. I’ve been brainwashed!
Nancy Pelosi
in 1998 on Impeachment of Clinton: Republicans are paralyzed by hatred.” Hmmmm.
The Answer:
The orig8nal 1st Amendment was about electing
Congress people in the house. It had a formula which, if not rejected by the states,
would have given us today 6,000 in the House. Yikes! Talk about confusion. The
original second amendment about Congressional pay was also rejected. It read, “No
law, varying the compensation for the services of the Senators and the representatives
shall take effect until an election of representatives has intervened.” Note,
this po[reposed second Amendment became law in 1992 as the 27th
amendment. With no ratification of the first two, the original third became the
beloved first. I guess the founders didn’t see term limts as a problem. And
certainly not the internet.

about quotes on the internet is verifying them” –Abraham Lincoln
