In case you're keeping score, the FaceBook page supporting Phil Robertson received 1,000,000 "Likes" in less than 24 hours. And, a similar support operation on twitter has gone viral. The Liberal press call the supporters quacking odd ducks, taking the drake under their conservative right wing. The left had him out on a raft.
A newspaper described the relationship between Dennis Rodman and Kim Jung an "Unlikely friendship." I think it's a marriage made in heaven.
About a year ago I mentioned that I thought Formula "E" Racing was a great idea and a smart way to bring attention to electric cars as everyday vehicles. I still think it's a good idea, but something has been lost in the translation between red necks and plutocrats. First, their will be no roar, but speeding in silence may be just as intriguing in a different way. More important, their will be no pit stops. Michelin is developing tires that will last the entire race, and becasue batteries can only last for half a race their will be two cars for each driver, so the only "Pit" action will be drivers running to change cars. So far it appears that environmentalists with lotsa dough like H-Wood stars and sports owners are hopping on board. So be prepared for the oozing political harangues in the winner's circle, instead of the gurgling of milk. there will be no cars named, "Duck Dynasty".
A lot of people agree that the Alex and Sierra victory last night on X-Factor was a well deserved win. Even supporters of other finalists were agreeing that they were a terrific twosome.
I think "Say Something" Ian Axel and Chad Vaccarino should be song of the year. I left it on the bottom of this mess one morning, and you guys liked it too.
McDonalds does not flop often, but when they do it's a whopper. Oops, wrong burger. The food merchant borugh out a new premium item "Mighty Wings" to compete with Buffalo Wild Wings and the consumers rejected them to the tune of 10 Million pounds stilll in the MacFreezer. I thought it was interesting why these wings didn't fly. The price was definitely not competitive. The spices were much too hot for the average eater. And the wings looked like molded nuggets with a bone. Additionally, when the economy is sluggish, people are more apt to spend money on known entities. What's wrong with molded nuggets?
Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews:
--This is good week for movies that at least I will see. In American Hustler a brilliant con man and his British partner are forced to work for a cunning FBI Agent in the world of NJ power brokers and mafia. It becomes more dangerous than they expect. It is a good one.
--You can quickly climb out of the black hole of Jersey politics with With Saving Mr. Banks. About 20 years before the time of the Movie, Walt Disney promised his kids he would make a movie about their favorite author PL Travis...and her book Mary Poppins. She is stubborn, refusing to enter the Hollywood morass...until books sales slow and the money runs out. In this delightful film we see Walt pulling out all stops to break through the veneer of the stony Travis. It's all up beat as flying a kite!
--The Wolf of Wall Street comes out Christmas day and may be one of the best. They say DiCaprio is great as the NY Stock Broker who refuses to cooperate in a large securities frud case that includes mob infiltration into Wall Street and Corporate Banking.
The Conscience: Chapter 30 continues.
Angelica sped up and made a sever right turn which had me grabbing for the overhead handle. Before I could say, "whaaaa..." she said Im going to beat them to the airport, so hang on. It semed like second that we coverned the 2-3 miles to the terminal short term parking lot out front of the main terminal. we jumped out and ran across the street, and then slowed, calming ourselves and blending in with bustling passengers.
About five minutes later the cab arrived and the big boys managed to get out. they were joking as they tipped the driver and moved towards the ticket sales. Angelica and I split up and she mozied over to the boys, and then stood scratching her head and reading a airline booklet. Suddenly she turned and walked my way, just as the boys headed to their gate.
"There going to some place named Providence RI and I heard the American who was with my mother say someting about Portsmouth."
"Good work. I don't know what it means other than there's a lot of boat builders in Rhode Island."
"That sounds like a lot".
Just as she finished, my phone rang and I was surprised to see it was James. "James, what a surprise!" he asked me what I was doing and I filled him in on eeryting, the bombers, the Sanna relationship,,, and when I said Portsmouth, he went silent.
The Answer:
Ducks must have lost the great Penguin war because they are found on every continent except Antarctica. The male is the draeke, the female the hen or just duck and the kids ducklings. It's hard to tell the difference bewteen males an female until you ruffle their underneiath feathers. Duck fethers are so waterproof that all underneath feathers will remain conpletely dry even after deep diving. In preparing her nest, Mom will pluck her own downy feathers to prepare a nest for her newborn. The male and female are monogamous during the breeding season, but into ottehrs arms immediately there after. Ducks are opportunistic eaters odinig happily on what evr they can firnd form fish to grass. There are about 40 breeds of duck withthe White Long Island Peking) duck the most famous for eggs and meat. In all, life is good inthe duck community until they perk up to man's "Duck Call".
Have one great terrific weekend e-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
