The Impeachment Inquiry etc.
Kind of tangentially following the political stuff because I don't care anymore. A lot of other stuff on my plate of late but re this impeachment inquiry for me it's kind of weird that there's some kind of connection between the Ukrainian president and digging up dirt on Joe Biden himself and his son. It'd be like saying there's some kind of Tanzanian connection for that matter but the bottom line is you can't impeach someone for simply being an asshole so you have to have something. Hell Trump might complete two terms with the constant background chatter of impeachment talk. Democratic Rep. Elijah Cummings just died at 68 because of poor health. Sen. John McCain died while still in office and of course Alex Trebek with pancreatic cancer is still doing Jeopardy. Seems a trend now work 'til you drop. That ain't gonna be me and I don't see the nobility in it. Soon as I reach the required minimum I'm going online to file my SS.
Just saw an interview with documentary filmmaker Ken Burns last night on PBS. He reminds me a lot of Neil deGrasse Tyson for some reason. Their smartness is annoying and do they ever question their own smartness? Burns just did a whole documentary on Country Music which I'm not really into and never could get into not for lack of trying ("...They shot my horse and my wife ran away...") but I did watch parts of it anyway because I like Johnny Cash. Now Burns said he's gonna do one on race which that's another one to slog through God help us. I think we've reached the point where most of us would like to move onto other subjects. Burns said in the interview that Thomas Jefferson had something like a hundred slaves on his estate and we know now that Columbus killed the Indians so you can't really honor anyone these days.
I don't know man talk about what you want.

Yeah, the news is all politics. History will probably analyze why an 'asshole' got sort of elected and the psychologists will fill volumes on the mystery of his devoted followers. Unless the singularity happens, in which robots, who are uninterested in mere human affairs take over. Shopped around and bought a used smaller pick up last week. Now, whenever I google anything, I get all sorts of deals on small pickups. Here the
ReplyDeleteK-Mart & Shopko stores went under, leaving only a Walmart *spit*
across the river. Our Idaho congressman had a townhall and announced that the Chinese had cornered the market on lead pencils. Poor guy got a lot of heat about graphite having been used in pencils since they were invented. Ya got yer fake new and ya got yer own news and no one is interested in actual facts, logical explanations or reality. ..I'm kind of looking
forward to the Singularity, ya know? For example: if the computerized Yonkers traffic cam shows your self driving car ran
a red light, is the judge a slow talking computer named Hal?
Apparently sex robots are the new thing. If one becomes self-aware and you reject it for another model what happens?
DeleteTrade In? You know, how much can I get on a used 2018 Annie for one of those 2020 Miss Universes with adjustable
Deletemeasurements and cupholders? Annie has low miles, only used on Saturdays by an elderly owner.
Ken Burns documentaries. He's covered some big subjects (Vietnam, the Civil War etc.). How 'bout one on Sasquatch?
ReplyDeleteDidn't Geraldo Rivera already do that one? One of the hairy creatures stole his microphone at the end?
ReplyDeleteI guess you discuss things in the workplace. I was wondering about the following:
ReplyDeleteDo the Sasquatches have an LGBT community?
Crossing dog species with poodles has led to the popular labradoodle, huskydoodle etc. But has anyone come up with
a coyotidoodle?
Along that line, would a robotic coyotidoodle be termed a
coyotigoogle?
Do those with elephantitis like peanuts?
Does the self-driving car get its own gas?
Are they working on a qubit smart phone?
How does an outhouse app work?
Is frankenbacon any good?
My mother thought of one the other day. We all know the Book of Genesis especially the part where Adam and Even ate of the fruit of the Forbidden Tree they suddenly realized they were naked and were ashamed. Apparently before they ate of the forbidden fruit they were always naked and either didn't realize it or had no problem with it. Now my Mom posed the question supposing they had never sinned would we all be going around today with no clothes on? Think about it.
DeleteI' better at evolutionary theory than Genesis exegesis, but she may be half right: the colder regions would seem to require clothing..lots of it. Since God told them to be fruitful and multiply, sex, in spite of Paul and Augustine is not sinful. We are informed that what made
DeleteGod mad was that the snaky tree was a font of wisdom, which makes seeking knowledge the big sin here. Most theologians conclude that without the tree sin, there would be no death: Adam, Eve and their lads would procreate for ever. ..which population experts find dire.
Does you mom have any idea of what size Niki's the typical
sasquatch wears?
There's a show on the Justice Network called "Nurses That Kill.". Imagine you're a patient in a hospital channel-surfing at night after your family leaves and you come across this program on the TV. Scary thing is there's no shortage of real-life material for several episodes. Makes ya ponder.
ReplyDeleteGeez, that opens up a whole new TV series genre...teachers that kill, chefs that kill, preachers that kill, gradeschoolers that kill, killer billygoats,
Deletekiller Chihuahuas..oh my: sort of makes the Crips & Bloods sort of mild. What do you make of Ancient Aliens hanging around the Garden of Eden?
more decent?
Ya got something against ancient aliens?
Delete"...because I don't care anymore."
ReplyDeleteI was certain there'd come a day.
When I started hearing people say Trump is our salvation that was the day. In the works for awhile.
