I'm not a political junkie. I follow politics in a tangential general sort of way but I don't follow say every bill working its way through the Congress. My cats need to eat. I have yardwork to do. I'm not like the old people who look at the TV screen all day and follow the news 24/7. I see the headlines on my devices that's enough. Ok so the leader of South Africa met with Trump at the WH. Trump has given refugee status to some white Afrikaaners. Trump has accused the leader of some kind of genocide. Perhaps Trump is projecting onto him what he should be saying to Bibi but I'm not a shrink. I know way back in the day the South African government was harassing the white landowners but again I'm too busy of late to dive down these rabbit holes. Media calling it false. Again I'm not up to speed on a lot of stuff. I'm more likely to google lizards of New York State as I have varied interests. I don't discuss politics with my vet or when getting an oil change. FWIW I don't think Biden was healthy enough to hold the most important position in the land but at the same time I don't think it amounts to treason so you can call me not a team player.
Just some light opining here. Pour yourself a drink and let's have a chat. Not everything is binary.
What's in that drink Z-man? Scotch? Tequila? Brandy? Coffee?
ReplyDeleteWhat's the drink of choice today and what was it back in the day?
Currently for me Asian Rum. Back in the day Jose Cuervo. Always Christian Brothers.
DeleteWe get a lot of spam calls, being old folks. Pushing all sorts of stuff.
ReplyDeleteBut quite often, there is just silence on the other end. I'm all for hiring the handicapped, but a call center is no place for deaf mute people.
I get the same all times of day especially dinnertime. Even got one on Thanksgiving. I yelled at a couple. Makes no difference.
DeleteBB... they start as Robo calls. Once they hear you say hello, the call is triggered AND, if someone is available, they will pick up and give you the spiel... for a new car warranty or something similar.
DeleteDave Miller is a political junkie. Some times Geeez quotes him without saying who sent the comment. He has a regular running argument with Joe Conservative, but mostly at Shaw's place. He just had intestinal hernia surgery, which while painful, hasn't stopped his blogging.
ReplyDeleteWatch Weird Al's music video "Living With A Hernia."
DeletePretty fair description BB... but you left off Skud. And i think, though I can't prove it, Joe C is really about 5 different people or personalities.
DeleteYeah, just had that surgery. About all I can do right now is sit around, read and type while I recover. Doc said no lifting voer 10 pounds which means I can't even smoke a brisket.
