Boycotting news:

Maybe politicians wouldn’t be so uptight if they used more puns. O, wait, I meant more prunes.

I’ve gotten extremely tired of watching political discussions, better defined as mind scorching screaming matches – left wing lunacy and Conservative overreach. There is essentially nothing new except redressed iterations of inconceivable irrationality. I listen. I dismiss. One thing that I hear over and over that rankles me to the core is the progressive rantors being unable, unwilling, to distinguish between legal and illegal. Oh well, I’ll just rant about the rantors and then look for a nice ocean to watch. Even when it is angry, it is comforting.

It is expected the just arrested World Tongue-Twister champion will be given a tough sentence.

The Question:

Who do think are the best SNL “Characters”, not the comedians, of all time?

The Headlines:

--DOW Opens To New Record Levels; Stocks Could Have Strong Week Ending Finish; Investors Hoping For Rebound In Pharma Stocks; Euro Stocks Up; China Exports Down.

--La Ready As Possible To Resist Storm Barry.

-- Trump Slams Crypto Currency, And In Particular Facebook Libra.

--R. Kelly Arrested On Child Pornography Charges.

--Trump Says His Admin Will Seek Citizenship Info From Existing Agency Records, Not Census.

--ICE To Begin deportation Raids; Agency Plans To Keep Families Together.

--“Charming Charlie” Fashion Accessory Shops Filing For Bankruptcy Under Chapter 11; Shutting Las 261 Stores Of High Point 360.

The drug stocks got killed yesterday because a well-known Government official is playing games with free enterprise.

Do you know what is really grating to me? Oriental music.

I never heard of “Charming Charlie”. And now it’s gone. I wish I had known.

Local tourist promotion executives tell us a lot is going on. I’ll get to it tomorrow.

If baseball still retained universal interest, everybody would be watching the NL Central Division race where the five teams -- Chi, Mil, Saint Lou, Pitt and Cinn are separated by a mere 4 ½ games. But, alas most people only watch their home teams, and if their teams are out of it, so are the fans, and the TV ratings and the ticket sales.

I have a big problem distinguishing the difference between Slurpies and Smoothies, even though they bare no resemblance to each other at all.

I always wondered why people would strive to get a degree in the narrow Feld of Library. Now I know. It’s a great place to get knowledge for an chance at being on Jeopardy.

But, I can’t see me ever drinking a smoothie.

I have read Census records from the time they began in 1790, and have found the citizenship question over and over again. Once again, the left argues against common sense.

The media loves to dole out oil to squeaky wheels.

Dem CNN analysts Chris Cillizza and Harry Enten have rated the Dems top Ten “Power” candidates starting with #10 Andrew Yang and then Julian Castro, Amy Klobuchar, Beto, Cory. Pete, Bernie, Elizabeth, Kamala and Joe. Since the last poll, Harris has risen the most. But Pete B is high on the money lisst which still makes him serious threat, though currently a distant 5^th.

How can you possibly reach nirvana with oriental music playing in the background? Transcendentalism denied.

I’d be reluctant to elect a President named Castro. DNA check, please.

Every day for the last 6 months “Genealogy Bank” has been warming me that I only have two days left to get their best deal. That’s another thing I don’t read, email ads.

I’m finding that many of AI technology applications are the newest form of water drip torture.

Oldie but Goodie: “I stayed up all night to see where the sun went, and then it dawned on me.”

Reading Between the Lines Movie Reviews;

--The Art Of Self Defense sounds a little weird to me. It’s a black comedy said to “Take Toxic masculinity to absurd extremes”. A mild bookkeeper after being mugged takes a Karate course only to learn of is Sensei’s sinister, hyper masculine, brutal, secret night classes. Somehow, people like it.

--“Crawl” takes place in the aftermath of a Florida Hurricane where a daughter seeks to find her father only to become trapped with him in a crawl space as waters rapidly rise. I think I’ll avoid.

--Ray and Liz is a movie of which I do not understand at all. But Critics love it. So, if you like to follow the loves of critics, this could be for you. But, it sounds depressing to me. It’s about a father being held against is will locked the bedroom of his home, and other stuff.

The Answer:

I rarely watch the show, because I just fall asleep. (Tids are wearing). OK # 1 is Chris Farley’s Matt Foley. Next is the Church Lady (Dana Carvey), Wayne Campbell (Mike Meyers), Buckwheat (Eddie Murphy), Alex Trebek (Will Farrell), Jake Blues (John Belushi), Stefon (Bill Hader), Sarah Palin (Tina Fey), Spartan Spirit Cheerleaders (Will Ferrell) and Cheri Oteri) and at 3 10 is Elwood Blues (Dan Ackroyd). The Next ten are George W. Bush, Roseanne Rossannadana, Mr. Robinson, Garth Algarm, Bruce Dickenson Festrunk Brothers, Chippendale Audition Dancers, George HW Bush, Burt Reynolds and Mr. Bill. I l know you all have your own favorites. “Chee-buger Chee-buger:, a phrase that became an everyday expression is #61.

Have a bright and dreamy, blue sky filled weekend, E-v-e-r-y-b-o-d-y!!
