1) Sports analysts admit they haven’t the foggiest idea of what’s happening during a sporting event.

2) Military analysts admit their job is to validate the editorial opinions of the media outlets paying them.

3) Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward confess that there was no “Deep Throat”. They simply didn’t care much for Nixon. Who, after all, did?

4) President Biden is actually a hologram, just like Princess Leia from Star Wars.He is a long term project of The Disney Company and LucasFilm.

5) The actual Chairman of The National Security Council is Col. Harland Sanders of Kentucky Fried Chicken. The real goal of U.S. foreign policy is to conquer the world one bucket of Original Recipe at a time.

Much to the chagrin of the Schnauzers, Dachsunds, and German Shepherds, the Weimaraner established a Republic in Germany at the end of the First World War.

Christmas Dislikes

12 Monday Dec 2022

1) It’s A Wonderful Life

2) “Hip”/“Woke” clergy and theologians who portray Our Blessed Mother Mary as homeless or unwed in order to validate their political agendas.

3) Tinkling chimes.

4) Santa Claus praying at the Manger in a lighted Nativity Scene in a front yard. I suppose it has instructional value for small children, but so does reading The Nativity Story to the little ones.

That’s all really. I like Christmas. On the one hand, Christmas lasts too long. On the other hand it doesn’t last long enough.

Up. Been Up. Need Sleep.

#2 Son is a grown-ass adult, 34 years old. And yet… He asks me to make sure he’s up when he has to leave early for a road trip to DC. This is completely understandable. The commuter traffic on I-95 is bad. It rivals Los Angeles in the congested nastiness.

Of course, I wake up at 3:00AM to call him at 4:30 AM. I watch TV on You Tube. The Russian Orthodox Liturgy is my favourite, because the music and the icons are beautiful and reverent. You see a side of Russia that isn’t shown on Western media outlets. A mother holding her child during the Liturgy doesn’t match our impression of a ruthless and bloodthirsty people. I know. It could all be propaganda, as if we aren’t fully taken in by Ukrainian propaganda regularly presented on our media.

America has been in the war business for most of my life, and next month, I will be 72. Congress just passed an $858 billion Defence Authorisation Act. You don’t authorise that much money, unless you expect to hurt some people and break some things. Either our military will do the dirty work, or our proxies, e.g. the Ukrainians, will.

Damn right it’s creepy. But it keeps the wheels of war turning. This will give us ideas for movies, novels, television shows and fancy computer games. Playing those games, our young people will practice killing without remorse. Then, when they eventually go to war, they can’t handle the psychological trauma of the real thing. So they blow their brains out the first chance they get.

And we can maintain the delusion that we’re good for another fiscal year.

Sex is only kinky if you buy your gloves and lube at the veterinary section of your farm supply store.

Hat vs. Cap

Baseball players wear caps. There are caps based upon the design of the baseball cap, e.g. the MAGA cap of Donald Trump fame. It is NOT a hat.

Consider the cowboy hat. It has a different look than a baseball cap. We don’t call them cowboy caps.

I think all these Ivy League geniuses that hang out in newsrooms should have learned the difference between a cap and and a hat. 🧢 🎩 .

American Football players wear helmets when they play, not hats.

Rant over.

Right now I’m watching trains in a Railfan “Grab Bag”. I have been awake about 90 minutes. I should be in bed. Last night, I made plans for today that would require a good night’s sleep. And now I want to sleep and have my emotional pain to subside.
