Chapter 2?:

 

I live a new world I do not no know.

I think I’ll take a nap.

You probably though this was going to be a thoughtful poem, didn’t you?

 

It appears that a good Q2 earnings report will be one that beats really, really ugly predictions. In other words, beating Bad will be the measure upon which whether stocks go up or down.

 

Did I tell you about my friend who went to the Drive-in Theater to see “Closed for the Winter”? He said he got a front row parking spot.

 

It is pretty obvious we are succumbing to mob rule. and until the election is over, cowardly politicos will knuckle under to the loudest voices.

 

The Question:

Nostradamus was the great predictor of the 16th century. Name his five greatest predictions.

 

The Headlines:

--Market Futures Point To Strong Opening; June Jobs Report Expected To Show Addition Of 3 Million Jobs, Lower Unemployment.

--78% of Russians Vote To Back Constitutional Reform That Would Keep Putin In Power Until 2036.

--Seattle Police Clear Out CHOP Takeover of City Blocks.

--Health Organization Announces New Progress On Covid Vaccine.

--House Votes To Extend Small Biz Loan Program To August.

--Former GW Bush Officials Form PAC To Support Biden; Trump Job Approval Dips As Covid Cases Rise.

--Hundreds Of Hong Kong Protestors Arrested; “One Country, Two Systems Likely To Disappear..

 

Sometimes I get a great new idea from a typo. I call it RWMPCS – Random Word Medial Prefrontal Cortex Stimulation.

 

Oldies but Punnies, Department:

--I had a mustard colored dog. He was a Gulden retriever.

--Two atoms are walking down the street and they run into each other. One says to the other, “Are you alright?” “No, I just lost an electron.” Are you sure?” “Yes, I’m positive.

 

Its’ not that difficult. When protesting mobs start walking through neighborhoods, people get really nervous, and the protest movements begin to lose whatever sympathy they had acquired. It becomes them against us all over again.

 

“I’m at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I’ve just put a mirror over my kitchen table.” –Rodney Dangerfield.

 

Sunnyside Economics, Department:

Financial forecasters like the idea of new Covid Cases. They say it tends to lessen the chance of knockout blow from a second wave. They also like the idea that most forecasts are highly conservative, making it easier for the economy to beat them.

 

Here’s where conservatives lose their credibility. A pretty good NYC talk show guy, Mac Simone, yesterday poo-pooed the book by Mary Trump as the work of some “Distant relative”. Mary is Trumps naive, his brother’s daughter. If opinions are to be accepted, they have to resemble actuality. As I have often said, it is easy to get people who agree with you to nod yes. But, where does that get you if your ae trying to change the world?

 

Trump has to learn the same thing, that throwing his ardent supporters’ raw meat will not help him get those crossover voters which he desperately needs to stay in office. And regardless of any flubs Biden may make, the press will always report more negatives about Trump. that’s just the reality of this campaign.

 

“I never vote for anyone. I just vote against.”  --WC Fields

 

Remember the old Reagan axiom – “Never pay ransom to a terrorist.” We are essentially paying a ransom very time a Mayor orders the removal of a statue. Just remember that vocal groups are not the masses. Petitions aren’t votes.

 

“Inside every cynical person there is a disappointed idealist.” –George Carlin

 

The Answer:

Nostradamus made predictions almost 500 years ago which some use today as still viable for what’s to come from now – like global warming, WWIII and Restrictive childbearing. His Top5 are: 1. A Great Volcanic eruption that will kill 6,000 (Vesuvius). 2. Worst Earthquake in history (People Today are thinking San Francisco). 3. “A Climate catastrophe that will burn the earth for years”.(Guess). 4. “A war between two great powers will start and last for 27 years” ( US, Russia China WWIII). 5. Catastrophes will produce economic collapse (Covid).

 

Any predictions of the past will eventually come true if we wait long enough.
