Diddy trial to start any day now with jury selection still underway. Don't know the questions the potential jurors get. "Did you ever see the music video 'Hypnotize' with Biggie and Puffy?" Got to thinking if I had even a fraction of Diddy's money uppermost for me would be major home improvement e.g. electric staircase going up into the attic with wifi and cupholders. Telescope up there too. Kitchen and bath remodel. The backyard - Inground swimming pool, small Chinese garden/pond with exotic fish, some Greek statuary here and there. It would never dawn on me to run a sex trafficking ring. He ain't livin' right.
The Conclave - I don't follow the stuff. Mainly older Italian guys with a few Africans thrown in the mix. Keep getting videos in my YouTube feed about the last pope of the End Times but I don't get my theology from Mel Gibson. You have your Catholics who are more into bingo and bake sales then you have your more eschatologically-minded Catholics who speculate about Antichrist stuff. YouTube sends me things all the time I never searched for. A gorilla fighting an alligator. Clickbait.
So we got a couple of topics going. A diversion from the usual Trump stuff.
If there is a write-in ballot for Trump, was it Cardinal Dolan's? Any idea of what all those Cardinals do the rest of the time? Bingo? The black smoke white smoke thing could be updated too - Huge neon sign, for example. Still a big deal and newsworthy, unlike ol' Diddy - How can they find a neutral jury - Some guy, when asked what he thinks of Diddy says. "Who?"
ReplyDeleteThey gotta find 12 troglodytes. Not too easy.
ReplyDeletePope Homan.
ReplyDeleteBeen watching a bit of the conclave this AM. News channels except FOX are carrying it. Say what? The Swiss Guards wear strange outfits, no?
ReplyDeleteWord on the street is we'll know by Friday? Maybe time for an African pope.
ReplyDeleteSaw a bit on the papal smoke room in the basement. 3 Cardinals were stoking a barrel shaped stove to make black smoke. Next to it was a square shaped stove that makes white smoke. Pigeons on the roof checking it out. Trump meeting with Chinese PM in Switzerland - sort of a fondue and ski party thing? Wife's cousin has a cabin at the Davos resort area which attracts all sorts of world financial gatherings- Swiss not big China fans nor Trump fans - their trains run on time.
ReplyDeleteLooked out the window at 730AM and saw the big gray and white feral.
ReplyDeleteCurled up in the sun on our brass garden bench. Old guy trudged up the street at 5AM when I went out to get that paper. "Mornin, watch out for the heavy traffic". Yeah, that's why I live here". The paper man comes at 2:30 AM and is the sole car on the street until the school bus stops up at the corner.
You people need to slow down.
ReplyDeletePlace is so slow we go backwards.
DeleteKeep reading about DOGE and NYS stimulus checks. Never get them. Seems like a theory.
ReplyDeleteWHITE SMOKE! Leo XIV, formerly Cardinal Robert Prevost of Chicago.
ReplyDeleteThat's back by Yonkers, right?
