There's a new product that drive-around German food-wagons are selling.
So you go and buy a medium-sized bag of Dorittos (figure 1,350 calories).
You go to the food-wagon 'boss' and ask for the special. He opens the Dorittos bag (along the side). He adds pork or chicken or thin strips of beef. Then he adds peppers, cheese, bar-b-q sauce, and some half-cup of seasoning.
End? You have a bag with about 5,000 calories, before you even get to the Pepsi or Coke.
1. As the Berlin Wall fell....basically....for the first 24-hours....99-percent of people walked from old East Germany....into free democratic West Germany. Some lingered for hours.
2. Just odd.....enormous number of women having public toilet 'phobia'....thinking that transwomen are there and using it. Imagine it was 1975.....where no such phobia existed at the time.
3. Just interesting.....Idaho, Missouri, and Iowa, have found over 300,000 ineligible voters in their voting lists. Some are dead....some are inactive (having left the state), some are non-Americans...and some are simply duplicate listed (meaning they probably moved from country-to-county).
4. You could list a hundred potential questions for Kamala Harris, and find that even if she pre-read the questions the day before....there was a 50-50 chance that she'd be unable to remember the 'answer'. Just makes you wonder how she ever made it in college.
5. Just odd....roughly a hundred countries had tariffs against the US, and these 'experts' are saying 'in-general'.....tariffs are BAD.
6. Odd statistically speaking....of all 2024 dead females in Spain with a known killer....half of the known killers are non-Spanish and non-EU guys.
7. Amazon MGM is planning a ‘Fresh, Exhilarating New’ James Bond Movie. I'm just a bit skeptical of what they mean by 'fresh' or 'exhilarating'.
8. About 20 years ago....I rode in a Jaguar Land Rover with a co-worker to lunch. Overly designed, highly technical (gadgets) and more of a luxury vehicle than the 1960s design which was made to handle elephant attacks, and crossing jungles. Today? Would I buy one? No.
9. Just seems to be an awful lot of people...consumed by some 'battle' going on between GOOD and EVIL Probably half the 18-to-25 year old 'kids' now see life as some Avengers landscape.
10. New study done (Epoch reports this)....ALMOST half of depression patients now fail to respond to antidepressants. They indicate....multiple treatments are now in this category.
Meaning? Well....all that crap that kids got....then evolved into young adults....have reached a peak point. Either we find new treatments....or admit long-term depression is around the corner any day now.
11. If I were flipping channels and came to a 1960s Merlin Perkins-and-Jim episode....where they were in some rhino-attack, or handling a 20-foot long python situation....I'll stick with the show and watch the remainder.
12. I think its reaching the point where you have to treat/judge one out of five American adults (appearing over age 18) at the maturity-level of a 11-year old kid. I would not have patience to be a cop or security guard or Nat'l Park Ranger.
1. Hillary Clinton on 9-11 2016, and the 'faint'.
First, like most folks around 65...she's on medication....and she pees frequently (like every 3 to 4 hours).
So, she gets up at 5:30 AM....prep's for this 'show' at the memorial. She probably has half-a-cup of coffee and zero water. Her hope is that the 'show' ends by 10 AM.
She arrives at 8:18 (no one argues about this). It's a warm morning....near 70 F at 8 AM.
I suspect already by 9 AM (42 minutes later)....she's feeling faint. Reason? Dehydration. Her staff has water bottles (I assume), but she's worried about using a public toilet at the memorial. By 9:15....I think she's in rough shape, and they are calling for the van to pick her up.
She makes it to the pick-up point and is mostly leaning against the post (for optics)....avoiding sitting on the ground. She uses her arms to steady herself. Staff an S/S folks are blocking the view.....so you have only one single video.
In that final minute....as the van door is open....it's apparent to her staff....Hillary won't be able to climb in....so she's basically thrown in, and probably laying on the carpet.
She can't be taken to a hospital....it'd spoil the optics. She's taken to a apartment where a doctor uses basic re-hydration steps. Two hours later...she's 'fine'.
All because of the frequent pee-issue? Yeah.
2. Shooting hoax 'players'.
I think within 20 miles of where ever you live....there's at least five people who are readily attracted to being reality-moment 'witnesses'. It's a statistical thing....the more urban you are....the more in numbers. The more rural....the lesser in numbers.
A nuisance? Well....they seek out the news-folks who just want eye-witness accounts. They have a basic 1-minute 'story' to tell....which might be marginally true.
A new thing? I've come to believe that even in the 1800s....there were hoax witnesses in existence. Maybe even in Bible-times....they existed and helped to fill a page or two of the Bible.
3. The 1988 Satanic 'Threat'
At some point in 1988....via the news media and afternoon talk-shows (like Geraldo's).....the public was in a frenzy....believing up to 1-million Satanists were existing in the US. Note.....this occurred without Twitter, Facebook, or the internet....which is remarkable.
Simply a faked-up news item....to get public attention and advertising dollars? More or less. I don't think anyone....by the end of 1988....really believed in the millions-number.
Simply more hoax-players? Yeah, I think they saw an attention moment, and even if they were some crazed Satanist for the act....it was better than nothing.
It's like announcing a tidal wave of 20 ft will arrive in
