I just don't get it:
Happy march forward onto winter days! Yes, tomorrow the days begin to get shorter on the way to beautiful stimulating winter. It always gives me a little thrill to know that cold nights will be with us again.
So, when did cauliflower become a panacea? I’ve been eating and enjoying cauliflower all my life and never knew I was a health nut!
I thought the coverage of the death of Biden’s beloved dog Champ was a bit extensive. But if Trump had a dog who died, the headline would have been, “Trump’s beloved dog Geeenbacks gets lucky and dies.”

The folks around the USA are getting tired of all the non-sense. Its what a happens when any party has too much power, and activists think they can get away with anything. But now-a-days the “Anything” has become so absurd that a large segment of the population is digging in their heels and as saying ‘enough”. This is why “out” party often regains power two years after a new president comes along thinking he has a mandate. Or more accurately, his mindless minions think that.
No Kumbaya here, Department:
It didn’t take New Iran President Ebrahim Raisi long to set the record straight about his view od a USA relationship. “He will not meet with President Biden or renegotiate over Tehran’s ballistic missile program and its support of regional militias. His election was considered widely to be a “Coronation”. The m Middle East just got tougher, if that is possible.
A lot of people think it is refreshing to have a lot of new teams in the NBA Final Four.
"Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, But the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza." --Dave Barry
I think Savannah Guthrie is a very good host on Jeopardy. Mayb in many ways, the best. But she won’t take the gig.
An avowed sale watcher won’t buy anything that isn’t marked down. Yesterday she bought an escalator. (Thanks to Mike Peters and his Mother Goose and Grim Comic)
I don’t know about you, but I seem to be seeing a lot of “Unanimous” Supreme Court decisions despite the hysterical wrath of all the Libs against the three newcomers. It’s about like they are what reasonable people described them as, “Learned”.
The real people in America just have to stop apologizing to the Wokey, not okey-dokey Leftists. They will not ever stop pressing for more and more. It is a form of extortion. And apologies in 99% of these instances make us all look weak. Stand our ground.
A local restaurant had 120 reservation “No-Shows” this weekend. Where has people’s moral compass gone? Is that the new tourist trick? Or is just the new American Me-ism? I think it is a vile habit.
Toyota, the world’s largest car maker and major auto trend setter thinks it will take a long, long time before electric cars become widespread. And, remember that Toyota set the stage for widespread Hybrid driving with its Prius. They and Honda, the biggest gas engine maker, are not making promises to be all electric by ay specific date. Too many obstacles they say. There are about 289,500,000 cars on the US highways, and 98% are not electric. Toyota warns that the grid just isn’t big enough to consider such a massive tur around. Tesla maker Musk says we might need to double the national power generation capacity…that now can’t deal with hot day AC demands. And it cannot be efficiently doubled through the decimation of acres and acres of good land for solar panels and oceans of windmills. And for fast charging, homes would have to be extensively rewired to achieve fast charging. Toyota isn’t saying it isn’t possible, they are just saying they can’t see it today. Toyota’s head of energy and environmental research Robert Wimmer: “If we are to make dramatic progress in electrification, it will require overcoming tremendous challenges, including refueling infrastructure, battery availability, consumer acceptance, and affordability.”

The proverbial they are saying that Amazon is catching up with Walmart as the world’s largest retailer. But Amazon is still over $100 Bullion behind WM. And remember, the Amazon surge came during Covid when more people were ordering from home. But, that doesn’t necessarily mean Amazon can’t get bigger in a normal economy.
The Answer:
According to a 50,000-vote survey, #1 Funniest show on TV right now is Brooklyn Nine-Nine. The rest in order are Rick and Morty, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Archer, Bob’s Burgers, South Park, Impractical Jokers, Family Guy, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and #10, Curb Your Enthusiasm. The Simpsons are 11 and The Goldbergs are 12. Better Call Saul is 13 and I watched it a few times. I would not have classified it as funny. Maybe it is the new funny. Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is first among the big three networks. Jimmy Kimmel is #36 and Stephen Colbert is nowhere ot be found on the 69-show list. The bloody Fargo is number 37. I guess it depends on your sense of humor. But I love Fargo, just not for laughing. Saturday Night Live is #19 and Eleen is #23.
