Talk BS

 The Babylon Bee put up a parody story today: "As Kamala Campaigns, Nation Starting To Miss The Clarity And Coherence Of Joe Biden."

I was amused by the slant of the story.

To be honest....back in the summer of 2021...I came to view the speeches by President to be constructed in the way to influence mostly12-year-old 'kids'.  If you were an adult....you evolved over a six-month period to mostly tuning out or muting the speech by President Biden.

Around the same era, even these 'chats' by VP Harris were going the same way.  When she did have some one-on-one 'talk'....it just felt like you had two juveniles at a bus-stop....talking over a subject that was beyond the comprehension of both individuals.

A state of 'stupid'?  Well....it just begs the question....where are the people who can sit at the 'big-boy' table and have a college-level chat?  I don't want a talk over economics....where the lead person seems mostly like someone who huffed-up a good bit of glue, or they've consumed eights shots of whiskey.

The few times over 2023 and 2024 that Joe seemed competent?  It's like every 12th 'talk' or 'chat'....he had that lucid moment where he said stuff that made sense.

My final observation?  If you can't get competent chatter out of either Harris or Biden....the news media ought to cut 95-percent of the chatter, and just find some New York Yankees pitcher to interview over curveballs.  

Dennys Story

 NY Post put up an article...on Dennys.  So the regular breakfast platter....which I remember around 2012....being near $9....is priced at $18 (figure over $20 with tax).

I sat and looked at the image....some eggs, 2 x pancakes, and a sausage or two.  Coffee?  I think that's separate.

Back in the 1990s?  Well....it would have been around $6.50.

Where I expect the platter to be by 2030?  Probably up towards $30, with coffee and tax....probably $35.  

Priced out of my league?  Well...I'm probably still 'game' for once or twice a week.  But it's heading to the point where I'd have to limit myself.
