Sweet Jiminy!
OK, we are taking on the Tough Questions du Jour - why was Rod Stewart singing "Sweet Caroline" at the Queen's Platinum Jubilee Concert? Isn't that a Red Sox Nation thing? Well, yes-ish, per the Times - Sweet Caroline is a fan favorite around the world and in many sports, and has been a thing in...
Clarice,
Does that mean if you play golf and drive a cart you!re immoral?

Clarice’s 5:46 reminds me I ran out of marmalade and need a new jar.

Where is everyone.?
Memorial Day Weekend!
Memorial Day is nigh! For me its a time to remember gas for the grill, the names of my kids' Significant Others (JK! Its the kids' names I still stumble on!), our nations's war dead and of course this old post from carefree 2008, when Candidate Barack re-imagined the holiday: Obama: He's Ready T...
Believe me, slo Joe would have never got off Plebe week at Annapolis.
I went to high school at Purcell with Staubach and played with on football team. He was a straight A student but had to go to a prep school after HS in order to meet academy standards.
I don’t think they have a prep school that could have fit Joe’s academic requirements for admission.
Another “whopper” by Joe.

Clarice,
Mount St. Michel is terrific if can read the tides and be able to park next to the road. Also, don’t get diverted by all the bakery an coffee smells along the way. Got all the way to the chapel to say a quick prayer before hitting a small brasserie back down the cobbled path. Just marvelous.
Monday Morning, And Biden Does It Again
Let's start the week with a resounding chorus of "WTF is it now?". I'll open with this - back in the day (1916, actually) Woodrow Wilson's campaign slogan was "He kept us out of war". Looks like Biden is pining his hopes on "He talked us into war". First up, by declaring his view that Putin was ...
Okay, by popular demand or was it a subpoena, here I am!
What has happened to JOM?
Happy Monday!
Here we go, into the week!
Got a little bored today and got to watching Depp v. Heard or v,v.
Boy, do those spoiledHollywood zeros deserve each other.
Happy Monday!
Here we go, into the week!
Howdy, Tom!
Happy Monday!
Here we go, into the week!
MM,
Considering her own literacy, it probably took 10 editors and proofers to handle an incoherent mess of language she most likely would produce.
LOL NY Times...
The NY Times seems to be testing a feature that is new to me - present the story they want to tell (and their Upper West Side readers want to read) early on and then run appropriate corrections and clarifications deep in the original story. No need for embarrassing appended editor's notes! Here ...
Talk about a long shot!! How bout those red apples

I would love to see and read Disney’s PSAR for Mickey 1. Will it be a BWR or a PWR. Radiated mice and rabbits want to know.
DeSantis v. Disney - One For The Public Finance Experts
Dissolving Disney's special tax district may be more complicated than it seems - when the Reedy Creek Improvement District was created by the FL state legislature pledged back in 1967 they pledged not to impair any subsequent bond issues. That leads to other issues - what one legislative session...
Today, in 1916, the Easter Rebellion started in Dublin. Wasn’t it Jefferson who advocated rebellions asa necessary cleanser of autocratic governance?
Vaccine Panic At The Times
The Times delivers some vaccine porn for their Upper West Side readership - OMG, we won't vaccinate 70% of the world agasint COVID! Its is only VERY late in the story we hear from experts who wonder whether that goal still makes any sense (spoiler - it probaby doesn't.) Here we go: The Drive to ...
Happy Easter!
Back In The Ukraine, Offshore Edition
It looks as if the Russian admirals resented the world's attention being focused on the ineptitude of the Russian Army: Prized Russian Ship Was Hit by Missiles, U.S. Officials Say WASHINGTON — The Moskva was the pride of Russia’s Black Sea Fleet, a symbol of the country’s dominance of the region...
MM,
Your 4:49 is no big deal since Hunter’s laptop had been salted by both the Russkies and ChiComs while he was in a drug induced coma.
Say It Ain't So, Joe!
Joe Biden goes global with his gaffe-o-matic act. How Biden sparked a global uproar with nine ad-libbed words about Putin By declaring that the Russian leader ‘cannot remain in power,’ the U.S. president seemed to suggest a drastic change in U.S. policy — prompting a scramble by White House offi...
Who woke up TM?
Putin “bungled”? Then what do you call Biden in his use of his basement as HQ for his strategy??
Back In Ukraine
Foreign Policy on "How Putin Bungled His Invasion of Ukraine". A much shorter article would focus on what Putin did right.
Matt,

Me? I am currently sans car and haven’t bought fuel in months.
