Short but chocolaty

Love, Leaders and Leather Mitts: 

 

 

Are you ready for Love! Even if you aren’t a romantic fool, there’s that something about February that tickles the heart. Yes, we are now in the shortest month of the month. And yes, even in this over-commercialized society of ours, people still feel special moments on Valentine's Day. It is a wonderful month in which to dream and care and give. And Hope that the furry little groundhog has something good to say. And to celebrate tow great Presidents, Washington and Lincoln even though we have woked it all up to a unified Presidents Day. But old George got us started and Abe kept us going. And even with all this love, hope and patriotism, maybe one of the great days is at the end when we will feel that delightful sensation of hearing MLB equipment trucks revving up for the trek to spring training camps. Can you feel the Crocus popping yet?  

 

Hey, I’m liking Nikki Haley popping up for a Presidential run. I think she could be good for this country that seriously needs some healing. She’s smart and tough and I believe she knows how to weave her way through the evil of DC... and global aggression. And maybe more people will feel happier liking a president again.  

 

Two cowpokes meet int a bar. One says, “Scuffle, Brawl, Melee, Altercation”. The other narrows his eyes and says, “Hold it right there, Stranger... Them's fightin’ words!” 

 

The Question: 

Give me five examples of why the English vocabulary is so disconcerting to a linguist. 

 

The Headlines: 

--Stocks Open Lower, Expected to Drift Awaiting Powell Remarks from Feds First Meeting of the Year. 

--Nikki Announces Candidacy for 2024 Presidential Run. 

--FBI Searching President Biden’s Delaware Home; Admin Says Prez in Full Agreement. 

--One Million Attend Pope Francis Mass in Democratic Republic of Congo Captial City. 

 

Tom Brady officially retired this morning. Thank God. Now we won't have to listen to endless sports programming about the next teams for the GOAT.  

 

The drumbeaters are already pumping up the Super Bowl as the first time ever there will be two black starting QBs. MLK would probably have preferred talking about two teams with excellent winning quarterbacks who have succeeded because of character and capability.  

 

A million Congo people were at the mass of Pope Francis. That's a lot of people. That’s the entire state of RI kneeling humbly in prayer with the man from Vatican City. Lord knows, the state needs help. It’s hard to imagine our state legislature kneeling, humbled 

 

The most powerful person in RI, the speaker of the house, just dumped his number two person, a woman, because she was a rational tinker. Actually, now she would be better for the state as an independent voice of reason in the al important House. What ever happened to independent voices of reason” 

 

A Quoll is one of those rare and odd Australian Marsupials. It is now on the endangered species list, not because of humans and environment, but sex. Yes, it can’t get enough. In fact, the males walk hundreds of exhausting miles to groups of lusty female quolls. They deny themselves sleep and even timeout for grooming, so they won't miss a single opportunity during mating season. And they are dying. But maybe the happiest endangered species of all. Who woulda thunk it. Too much sex.  

 

Tickets for the 2023 Newport Folk Festival will go on sale today at 1:00pm. They will probably be sold out by 1:10pm. 

 

A force of native Americans stands ready for the onslaught as their fiercest enemy races towards them. The leader stays, “Put away your weapons and sharpen your tongues – it's a diatribe.” 

 

The Answer:  

Are you ready? I object to that object. I am not content with this content. The bandage was wound around the wound. The farm was used to produce produce. The dump was so full it had to refuse more refuse. It’s time to polish the Polish furniture. He could lead us if he got the lead out. The kid decided to desert his dessert in the desert. At the sight of food, the dove dove into action. 

 

Interestingly, Spell-Check wanted me to delete the second “produce” as a repeated word, which of course Spell-Check wasn't smart enough to tell the difference as it wasn’t repeated at all. Do you still want AI driving your car for you? 

 

Let’s get the romance of February going:
