A quiet Thursday in DC Town:
A lot of people in DC are nervous about tomorrow. The FBI says there is a lot of activity on the web. Maybe Spiderman is in town to defend the capitol.
Beware of over-hyped Netflix movies. You’ll waste a lot less time. Be especially cautious if the critics spend a lot of time talking about past works of the director.

To see a man’s true face, look to the photos he hasn’t posted.
There seems to be this thought going around that everybody will be infected with that persnickety Omicron somewhere along the way. Seems like a defeatist attitude to me.
A good reader asks: “Let me know when the pandemic has gotten serious enough to close the southern border. Until then I’ll juts live my normal life.

With all of the testing going on these days, I’m just wondering if all the “New Cases Records” that are arising is mainly because there is more exposure to testing. That perhaps we had as many cases in the past but many were so mild there was never a feeling that would inspire a need to test. So, we have lots of cases, but the records I want to see are about hospitalizations and deaths.
Maybe the chatter and increased web activity reported by the FBI the other day was about the Kazakhstan insurgency of this morning.
Elizabeth Holmes just convicted on four counts over her Theranus scheme could get up to 80 years. Some people say that is too high for white collar crime. I believe that white collar crime is often the most heinous of all. Trial watcher experts say that probably will get 17.5 to 22 years. Law folks say that this punishment will not be a deterrent to other fraud schemes. Criminals always think are smarter than the one who got caught.

Today is National Keto Day. Go crazy!
Around here, the Providence college basketball fans have been pretty upbeat about the team’s move to #16 in the country. Last night they went out to Marquette U ad got trounced, humiliated, by 32 points. Good teams don’t lose by 32 points regardless, especially to a Marquette team that was one of its last six. Complacency?
“Fake it util you make it” has been the mantra, the platitude creating the attitude of tech savvy imaginators who eventually produced companies like Apple, Google Amazon and the rest. There I first hire is a PR pro who adroitly paints a rosy picture of promise until the engineers create products which up to the hypothetical masterpiece. Wall Street buys it, and a lot of times it pays off really big. I worked for an early eCommerce company that faked it quite nicely, but didn’t make it.

What is the sound of no hands texting?
It seems that the New NYC DA Alvin Bragg just gave the green light for expanded criminal activity. He announce new guidelines yesterday: Among many crimes reduced to no jail time was one that said those who commit a class B felony, armed robbery, without their dangerous weapon causing serious injury or harm. We will not seek carceral sentences. That means that if you holdup a bank or convenience store with a gun and don’t shoot or whip somebody then there is no jail time. In other words, perhaps he is saying, prosecutorial kindness will prevent crime. The NYC police responded, saying. “Police officers don’t want to be sent out to enforce laws that the district attorneys won’t prosecute. And there are already too many people who believe that they can commit crimes, resist arrest, interfere with police officers and face zero consequences."
The Answer:
The greatest coaches of all time begin with Vince Lombardi. Bill Belichick is #2 followed by John Madden. Next is Tom Landry followed by Don Shula, Paul Brown, Bill Walsh, George Halas, Chuck Noll, and #10, Joe Gibbs. On to #25 we have Bill Parcels, Marv Levy, Curly Lambeau, Bud Grant, Bill Cowher, Andy Reid, Tony Dungy, Hank Stram, Dick Vermeil, George Allen, Jimmy Johnson, Don Coryell, Mike Ditka, Marty Shottenheimer and Mike Shanahan. Dan Reeves who also just died two days ago was #27. Jon Gruden of blasphemy fame is 39. Buddy Parker another olde timer who was pretty dominant was #45. Weeb Eubanks led the Baltimore Colts and NY Jets to NFL championships was only 36, just ahead of Pete Carroll. Weeb should have been better. I don’t think this list is too bad overall.
