Opening Stuff:
In
days past, anger was mostly found in a few jerks, lunkheads
sitting in a bar, or an irate woman in a department store sale. Now embarrassing,
often crass or dangerous moments are tweeted around the world and for some odd reason
people gravitate to the bile. A rare few ever saw the stupidity of people, and now
masses try to emulate it. I think it is a crying shame.
The
next time I buy a house I’m bringing along Chip and
Joanna Gaines. Does anybody give you more for a house for less money? Of course
I’d have to move to Crawford Texas.
Strange
but True, Department:
You may not have studied the morsels like I have,
but in reality Cheetos emit a soothing, pervasive warmth when bitten into. It
is great relief when you have the chills. I wonder if the FDA would allow me to
repackage for medical purposes.
I
could easily be a vegetarian if I douse the weeds
in rich, creamy, yellow chicken gravy. That would work.
The
Question:
Who is Pricilla Pointer? Bonus: What was the name of the special prosecutor in the Nixon
affair?

Goldman
is saying they are pulling back on equities. In reality,
they have been pulling back for a while now and are just letting the news out
in public. The problem, among many uncertain global factors, is lackluster projections
for future earnings growth. After Goldman’s release, several other big WS institutions
came out echoing a similar mood. The summer is always a good time to adjust portfolios,
and maybe this year it should be done in advance of Mid-July when the next
earnings season may betray our enthusiasms. July disasters have not been
uncommon in the past.
Odd.
Hillary has been running, whether or not she always says
it, on the 1st Woman President platform. Now in her new strategy she
is saying, “Hey, with me, you’re going to get a man too, to handle the hard
stuff like the economy?” Do you think feminists will notice? Nah, they don’t
notice anything.
I
wonder what would happen if all of the American atheists
went to the Middle East and told the Islamic Jihadists there is no Mohammed? Either
they would nod in agreement and we would end all Holy wars, or it would be the
end of all atheists.
I
have said before, and I am continually reminded how many
young people drivers are the rudest of all drivers. I think it is because they
have always been told that they have the right of way in life.
One
of the reasons I don’t think I’m interested in going
to Hawaii, is because I’m not the kind of person who would find it interesting
sitting around talking about the merits of mangos.
The
general opinion on the Megyn Kelly interview program last
night was that this show probably had very good rating’s (because of Trump),
but her next specials won’t. In other words it was dull, with nothing new. I
watched The Voice and NCIS. You can get politics 24 hours a day.
Ziva
David was one of the great characters on TV, and it was
sad to learn she had been killed. Life is tough when you have a vivid
imagination.
And
good news to wipe away the tears – Kiefer Sutherland
is returning to TV in a new conspiracy thriller “Designated Survivor”. I worry
that ABC may make it too commercial, and their title suggests they worked
overtime to be cute. But. I’m putting it on my must watch list.
One
special day and little more, Department:
Remember Jim Craig, the goalie heir of the “Miracle”
US Hockey team? How could you not. He was that lone figure skating slowly around
the ice, wrapped in an American flag; and the crowd roared on. Jim did little
with his early life after fame. Hit some depths; he was on trial for vehicular
homicide. He eventually landed a job as a motivational speaker and apparently did
well telling the old story. But he has nothing to worry about at all. Now about
58 and still living in his home town of Easton Mass, he is auctioning about 17
Olympics Mementos including his medal, jersey and that famous American flag. It
is expected he will get about $5-7 Million. Ain’t America grand?
You
may have noticed that “The Parking Lot” has been
missing for a few days. My mind has been sidetracked, so I decided to wait
until I can properly give the plot the time it needs. Soon, though, soon.
The
Answer:
I bet you all knew that Pricilla Pointer is Steven
Spielberg’s Mother-in Law. Yes, this mother of Amy Irving was quite the accomplished
actress herself, on Broadway and in movies. She had a pretty robust career
including acting in movies directed by her son David Irving (Like Good Bye
Cruel World and C.H.U.D.) She was in a regular role on the TV show Dallas, and
in many pretty decent H-Wood films. Bonus:
Archibald cox was the well known special prosecutor.
So,
what happens if Bernie does well and wins strongly in California?
It will be very interesting, because right now the only thing the Hill has
going for her are the Super Delegates, which is big establishment politics at
its worst.
Are
apple blossoms painting hillsides pink? There could be no more
contented scene then a frisky dog romping there, and women smiling loving the
moment, I think. Beautiful days in May always bring you somewhere.
