Foisting Smart: 

 

 

The only reality show that interests me is the one involving Kim, Putin, Xi and Raisi. It’s not about who will get evicted for a spurious reason from a make-believe society. No, it's about the potential to end the world as we know it. 

 

Technology for technology sake is overwhelming car owners.  

 

Gonorrhea would have been a great name for diarrhea medicine. 

 

The Question: 

I got a list of regular people's opinions on who they think are the best NFL players for 20323. 

 

The Headlines: 

--Fed Meetings Underway; Stocks Coasting. 

--Hunter Biden Suing the IRS. 

--Repubs Continue Playing Impeachment Games. 

--Guiliani ex Lawyers Sue Rudy for $1.36 Million in Unpaid Legal Fees. 

--Russia Court Refuses to Hear Appeal of US reporter Gershkovich. 

 

I was thinking today as I walked on the fresh morning air that the overwhelming majority of human beings are not A-Holes. It is just that A-Holes are featured in most of today's most popular news stories. And most of them emerge from bars around 2AM 

 

It might be a good idea to carry a couple of those plastic bread Bag clasps in your wallet or Pocketbook for use on tipsy restaurant tables.  

 

Today’s year is “Somewhere over the Rainbow" Yes 1939 when people stared humming a beautiful hopeful tune as Dorothy clicked together the heels of her red slippers. The Wizard of Oz was the movie people wanted to see. The world needed the hope of Dorothy as it was faced with perhaps the most disruptive act in te history of mankind – the attack of Poland by Germany to start WWII.  It was also a year when five men escaped from the unescapable Alcatraz, On January 1 Sidney Australia had its hottest day ever – 113F. (Hmmm, ring a bell) Roosevelt and Einstein began the road to the atomic bomb. Gasoline costs 10 cents/gallon and a new car cost $700. William Hewlett and David Packard backed by the huge sum of $580 in capital funding joined together to start their company with a product called Resistance Capacitance Audio Amplifiers. Their first customer was Disney who bought 8 of their oscillators to create the magic of “Fantasia.” Victor Fleming, who was the director of The Wizard of Oz also had another little hit film – Gone with the Wind. But with all of the fluff I found ot make this column a little interesting, it really didn’t matter much in a year that gave the world arguably the most horrendous war of all time. 

 

There is really not much news today at all.  

 

Comedian Kevin James wonders why the moving sidewalks in airports always go right by the Cinnabon store, and nobody ever thought to install an exit ramp. Considering that those who use moving sidewalks may be Cinnabon's largest customer base. 

 

Isn't it interesting when reading about things that happened in 1939 that though some big movies were well known and some events were interesting, World War Two began. Really, what other news is really meaningful after that. Real life hurts.  

 

A Netflix show that has me interested is called “Who is Erin Carter”. Never a dull moment and plenty of questions to be answered. It is so rare that I find a Netflix show that isn't completely inane that I get a little excited and have to share my glee.  

 

Someday I feel I putt really well and other days I feel I don’t have clue about what I am doing. 

 

Do you realize that most of the publicized excitement around AI revels around examples of how easy it is for college kids to cheat on term papers and how people with no talent can write novels. There has got to be more to it.  

 

One of our cleverer readers writes to tell me that if you spell Boobytrap backwards you get Partyboob. 

 

If you think eggplant is good, you should try any other food; it’s much better.
