Instead of fretting over the alleged life and times of Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh's media-notorious penis (and being dead wrong, by the way, particularly when supposed "victims" remember nothing), you'd think the New York Times would concentrate on more substantive SC issues such as, oh, I don't know -- perhaps the Court's retirement age? Just as the NYT eventually blamed some editor for deleting the all-important section of its absurd get-Kavanaugh article pointing out that the "victim" herself remembered nothing about the exposed-himself allegation, even ABC-TV News (9/16) waited until the very end of its report about the NYT article to throw in that the woman supposedly victimized knew nothing of the allegation.
Man oh man, this is modern big box journalism at its best? One cries for journalism's truly intended and its glorious veterans, their reputations sullied via guilt by mere association with a profession barnacled by the uncouth.
My advice for Justice Kavanaugh: Get naked, put on your running shoes and streak silently nude through the streets of Washington for a few minutes. Then return, re-attire yourself with the black robe and go on as if nothing happened, thereby getting this he said/she-said exposed-it nonsense done with once and for all. Say nothing and give no interviews. There's no point, because the usual barnyard media chickens will continue to cackle the same old tune, the only one they know.
Beto the magnificent: I rarely have cause to use the biological term, d. bag, but this guy is just all of that and less whenever he spouts political talk. The entire Kennedy family should be insulted when drooling hopefuls suggest he's a new Robert Kennedy, an absurdity if ever there was an absurdity.
"Hell yes," Beto warns, promising to actually, no-nonsense, come and take people's currently popular sporting rifles beginning with the letter A followed by a number. Soon thereafter, he received a message from a legislator, joking, "Beto, my AR is ready for you." Next, proving once again that those who dwell on the left generally have no tolerance for humor when it's directed toward their side, Beto not-Hispanic-in-the-least O'Rourke expressed shock, awe and outrage, proclaiming this a "death threat." Obviously a member of the "dish it out but can't take it" club, Beto reminds me of somebody bullied in fourth grade -- and deserving of it. He'll be President the day I turn into a Delphinapterus leucas.
Drone attack in Saudi Arabia: Way back, we mentioned with no mental exercise at all how appropriate cheap drones would be for delivering explosive devices. Considering the volatility of Middle East factions, this should have come as a surprise to nobody -- and because it appears that missiles may have been involved, that adds to the fun. We hope that primarily the Saudis handle this probable Iranian-fingerprinted attack because we don't fancy the idea of sending American sons and daughters to the region for engagement in out-and-out war accompanied by an almost inevitable high death toll.
Green energy makes its mark again (unfortunately, the wrong mark): The press in some instances seem to be noticing that those giant wind turbines create an immense dismantle & disposal dilemma once they fail or outlive their service. At least birds in flight will appreciate this.
5G and you and me: Notice how those towering structures carrying numerous microwave antennas resemble weird upside-down chandeliers from some horror movie? We will continue to wonder (the TV show, Full Measure just presented a great report, check the link and watch the episode online) what influence a multiplicity of MW energy transmitters might exert on cases of childhood leukemia, depression and other major health issues. Literally a case where time will tell.
Zantac falls off the pharmaceutical merry-go-round: Folks cautious about what goes into the pie hole, to put it bluntly, would be way less likely to find a need for this gut bacteria-altering medication. Our view is that ingredient ranitidine as a potential cancer danger may be far less worrisome than what this sort of med's function does to one's "friendly" stomach and digestive bacteria and enzymes.
Pharmacy products we'd like to see: If we had Oxycondoms instead of Oxycodone, maybe there would be better birth control.
NBC, wow: A whole week on TV about climate change (1) destined to exclude or make light of weather and climate precedent showing that change is normal and (2) intended most likely to make everybody hate President Trump. After all, elections are coming. . .
Democrat presidential hopefuls: Is Tom Perez pulling all the tangled strings? Has the DNC realized yet what a mistake they made in excluding the only possible candidate, woman and military veteran Tulsi Gabbard, capable of even coming remotely close to defeating President Trump?
Nanny me more: Proactive progressive megalomaniac New York governor Andrew Cuomo has banned flavored vaping materials to deter children from vaping. Why do these leftists, already dedicated to banning, censoring and saving people from exercising their rights, fail to care that adults, not just kids, want flavored vaping? Vaping is not something I would ever do, but this is still America and adult choice counts. I think.
UFOs: I think I was in my pre-teens when the father of a family with whom my family was friends alerted me to a new restaurant run by a retired Air Force major and his wife. He knew the major and suggested that he and I have dinner there so I could ask the man questions about UFOs. Obviously, my mind whirled and I began lining up questions which must be asked.
Turned out the major was a great guy, his restaurant inviting, the haddock dinner superb, and the UFO inquiry -- well, not so much. Asked about his Air Force contacts and UFO knowledge, the former military officer was very stand-offish. I guess noncommittal is a good word here. I know that he knew something of interest about UFOs during his Air Force years, but he simply wouldn't relate anything to the likes of me, a kid. But I could have been 80 and I'm sure he wouldn't open up.
The point? Retired military personnel, in large part, remain loyal to expectations placed upon them during their careers, and in many ways there's no mystery when it comes to their refusal or reluctance to disclose information they may not believe optional. Such as. . .UFOs.
Saturday Night Live's edge falls off the cliff: Producer Lorne Michaels just HAD to fire new cast member Shane Gillis because of racist and homophobic statements? Hmm. Ever notice what non-Caucasians get away with on TV and radio every day when it comes to freedom of speech? I am so fed up with political correctness and people offended by words. Words! These days, there also seems to be an additional penalty involved at some level if one happens to be white.
If somebody doesn't cater to words stated and takes offense, then they should merely say something back just as intense or refute the issue, no matter how stupid or silly. Achieve an equal footing and let it go. That some with authority have literally become word police (particularly in colleges and universities), hanging threats of unemployment or academic grades over certain heads, is outrageous and wrong. To face censorship by Facebook, Twitter, Google or other alleged "social" media platforms is frightening.
Keep on firing folks who say things and soon there won't be anybody left to hire, except maybe for the blindly obedient types ingrained with robotic speech so craved by the current Democrat Party. First Amendment be damned.
