Simply Observations

1.  The Pope calling for absolute obedience to 'bans' and 'lock-downs'?

Yeah.  Maybe he should just stick with Demon-hustling, Bibles and soul-business....leave the rest to regular people.

2. Lets say that Joe Biden wins the election, and in the middle of the swearing in at the inauguration episode....Joe starts to get chatty about Inca Indians, cowboy movies, fat women, and his favorite episodes of Woody Woodpecker cartoons.  What should we do?

Plan B, look over at the House Speaker and ask if we can rustle up impeachment in three hours, and get the Senate in place by 6 PM to impeach Joe out quickly. 

3.  Explain Europe's populism angle in 10 lines or less.

Populism means that regular people (not intellectuals) have this gut feeling that their priorities, their problems, and their preferred path to the future....are not heard by the political figures, the journalists, or the national authority.

In this case, the internet (via social media) finally gave people a chance to compare notes, review accomplishments, and gauge failures.  Sadly, the general public on both the left and right....woke up and now feel left out.  They won't listen to the journalists anymore, and they question the political figures to the point that lies won't work.

So the name of the game is to utter populism and try to suggest these people are more stupid than you.  The more practical 'fix' is to remove the internet and TV entirely, and just go back to mostly newspapers.

4.  Joe Biden says 600,000 people in America have died from the virus....true?

No, but in Joe's mind....there ought to be 600k dead.

5.  Is there any way to fix soccer's unfair pay situation for women players?

Yep....just go and force guys to attend in mass at games.....say 50,000 per game, and agree to pay $25 to $50 a seat.  Course, to make this work....you need Biden's Economic Intercourse idea to work, and guys GOT something in return.  I just don't know that would be. 

Simply Observations

1.  NY City sanitizing their subway system for first time in 110 years?

Well....they say this.  The problem I see....with all the COVID chatter....you'd have to go and sanitize nightly, and ticket prices would have to escalate at least 300-percent.  Probably using some funky-smell stuff, and that will trigger people to have some funny nasal issues.

But here's my science view of this....all that crappy bacteria stuff dating back to 1922....has been sitting in these tunnels and terminals....maybe protecting you from Corona.  Maybe you should not disturb that stuff. 

2.  Whats with all these Biden 1980s videos coming out and making him look like an idiot?

Well....no one did any real research on Joe for the 2008 election as VP.  Obama should have known all of this, and real journalism....if you had it....would have done their job.

Don't worry....based on this video chatter....Joe is as stupid now....as he was in 1990.

3.  Wendys running out of beef?  Really?

If you own a Wendys franchise....you are supposed to buy your beef via a particular vendor.  Several across the country....it seems.  And some of them have come up short.

Could you buy alternate beef?  By the contract, I doubt it.

4.  Is hypocrisy now a national problem?

Boy, where have you been the past hundred years?

5.  Who has it the worst and best in terms of Corona?

India....they just passed a seventy-percent tax.....on alcohol....to fund healthcare crap for the public.  So a fifty-cent beer is now 85 cents.  Don't even ask about a bottle of Jack Daniels.  But on the other side of this....India is offering free property to any company leaving China, and reestablishing itself in India (we are talking about a massive amount of land ready to have plants or factories to be built).

6.  Nicolas Cage as 'Tiger King'?

Cage makes two types of movies....utter failures or brilliant successes.  After watching the first episode of 'Tiger King', I'm divided.

The big question on this project.....where exactly are they going to find 'friendly' tigers for Cage?  I have this bad feeling about where this is going to go.

7.  Any truth to the story that Facebook is putting up a censorship committee?

Twenty-odd names.....all lean a fair amount to the left.  They will be there to establish the rules....likely to come out by mid-June (my guess).

Just a view on this.....it'll be the final straw for some folks, and the exit will start....maybe up to 10-percent of Facebook participants gone by end of July.  Lame pictures and fake postings will start up, and the value of Facebook will crap out by October.  Figure a quarter of the employees gone by Christmas.

All it'll take is 10,000 postings a day of people taking pictures of their dog's crap, and letting friends know the name of the dog is 'Facebook'.

8.  Did a quarter of Democrats say in a poll that if the allegations are true on Joe Biden's sexual stuff.....he has to go as the nominee?

Yeah, they said it but they don't mean it.  Lets be real here....this whole debate thing in 2019, and primary 'game' in 2020....has been rather lame.  It's like going to a circus with a bunch of drunks riding camels, and the ringmaster trying to fake the customers out.

9.  New poll showing college kids can't handle reality?

Yes.

Roughly 80-percent say they can't handle anything that doesn't agree with their 'perception' of things.

Now, you can ask stupid questions, and wonder what the hell that this $16,000 a year in tuition is paying for, but at this point.....'Wanda' and 'Karl' (your kids) are about as stupid as you get.  They will finish college stupid.....apply for jobs as stupid, and work to pay off $80k in college debt....because they are fairly stupid.

It means that for future jobs....other than running the log-ride at some amusement park, or reading the news for Channel Six....they don't have much of a future.

The chief problem I see....sooner or later, they will wake up and realize their stupidity, and ask you (dad).....how did this happen.  It'll be an odd father-son chat, and you'd start off....all that college got you what?

10.  Finally....what the hell is a tourist-free zone....like Greece is talking about?

Greece is desperate enough to recover on the COVID stuff....that they would fence up some resort areas, and swear to travel agents and tourists that it's 'pure and clean'.....no Corona. 

You can admire them for creating this fake deal.  As for the trust part?  I'd suggest you camp out in the backyard, or just skip a vacation this year. 

The Flashlight Essay

I catch around 30 minutes per week of MSNBC.  I admit it...mostly because I try to get different perceptions.  One of the pieces....which I went back and tried to watch a second time....thinking I didn't take it the right way....was with their moderator talking to Arand Giridharadas (AG).

So 'AG' got on this soapbox of his and talked about the sad woe of Americans....that we have an obsession with 'freedom' that blinds us.  This 'freedom' blindness keeps us from clearly seeing the virus, climate change and a whole host of problems rushing upon us.

At the end of this ten-minute chat.....I sat there mostly wondering what exactly he meant.  It was obvious that he was trying to suggest people just weren't intellectual like him.....to see all of the landscape.    His suggestion though....was some problem with 'freedom'.  At some point he allured to Trump....just in passing, that listening to Trump might be a problem as well.

The chief problem with people like this.....is that after you shine a 'flashlight' upon their discussion.....they freak out like a badger.  They don't want questions, debate, a reflection, or dispute.  In their mind, there is one discussion....one conclusion.....one accepted list of facts.  Beyond that....you just need to agree.

In this case, he got his soapbox, ten minutes of hyped-up media time, and probably got a following of 5,000 people....mostly all agreeing with him, and wanting him as their new 'Jesus-character'.

As for the 'blindness' issue?  Someone is blind, but it might be the guy suggesting blindness.
