YEAH YEAH--I'M BACK

Had a major technological snafu--those bright minds at google decided this website needed a new format. That took me a few days and a lot of four letter words to figure out. I kind of believe that they are not being malicious but just that they have nothing else to do to justify their work. It has been awhile so I will get right to it via a bunch of bullets. Here goes. --The John Lewis eulogies showed that the Democrats have a whole group of better speakers than the Republicans. Unfortunately it does not necessarily mean that therefore they will win the presidency. Potus had nary a word to say except that Lewis did not attend his inaugeration--a tit for a tat. But if you have heard Potus try to read from a script, then you did not miss a thing except has flat monotone. On the other hand, (tho I disagree with anything that comes out of his mouth),I have to admit his off the cuff words are way more effective. --Did you see his remarks from the clubhouse at Bedminster? A rousing red meat speech delivered to club members most of whom had no masks and no distance. Run of the mill Americans who paid 350K for membership. Quite a white group. He is verging into George Wallace territory--the land of racism demagoguery. --I tell myself not to check the polls after what Nate Silver and crew did 4 years ago. But by the end of every day, I am looking and getting scared shitless. Keep seeing every headline beginning with "Potus" this or that. I wish Joe and Kamala were out, about, and more visible. --An aside: read a Globe breaking news story which basically said a great white shark was off Block Island heading to the Cape. It is the ocean, right? --The Bucks refusal to play their game lit up the NBA and the Afican American community. The shut up and dribble folks need to shut up themselves. In the aftermath of the temporary cancellation of the NBA playoffs, I heard Charles Barkely tell Wolf Blitzer two cogent things: he said that it was exhausting to be an African American man in America and wondered why every time there is a death involving use of police force, someone asks him what it all means. Charles might at times act like a fool, but he walks the walk. --The Conways must be in family therapy. Both have left their jobs to concentrate on raising their children. DUH. --The anti-vaxxers should have a field day with the Covid vaccine in the future. They already hate vaccines which have gone through stringent clinical trials . And now we have the possibility of a vaccine rushed out in order to help Potus. Oh,and they have hooked up with the groups of militia who are wandering around with god awful weaponry. Vaccine nationalism is rearing its head. --Hats off (or I should say masks off) to the Florida sheriff who banned the wearing of masks in the County sheriffs office. --In my fine state, 51A's (child abuse reports) have been filed against some parents whose children are not complying with on line learning. Mostly poor people who may not even have access to computers. Really? --The gun toting couple from St. Louis spoke at the Republican convention. If they had hurt someone they might have gotten even more time. --Got a covid test (negative) but noticed that the 3 people woking at the site were: all women of color. An Asian woman, a Hispanic woman, and a woman who was black and probably from the Caribbean. When Stephen Miller needs hospice or a nursing home, he better fucking hope the immigration laws are more flexible because there are very few white folks lining up for these jobs. Shalom. Hope to return on or about 10/1.
