Random thoughts Friday, Volume CXLV

  • Democrats aren’t focusing on an important part of the last jobs report:  yes, jobs grew, but wages also went up more than inflation.  Net pay raises.  
  • The Trumps are definitely those defendants who hired a “jury consultant” who told Ewic and Junior to wear soft, non-threatening light and pastel colors to signal to jurors that they’re not a threat, because their entire personae are based on 1980s schlock pop psychology. 
  • God help Sam Bankman-Fried’s cellmate.  That white-collar criminal is going to do his time the hard way:  hearing about Sam Bankman-Fried 24/7.
  • Reportedly, Lauren Boebert is trying real hard to be taken seriously as a politician.  She claims she’s concentrating more on issues with her constituents and wants to be a “serious leader.”  You can wipe off the clown makeup, but there’s always the video…
  • House Republicans:  “Hunter Biden making money from foreign companies when Joe Biden wasn’t in office is a crime and Joe should be impeached for it.”  Also Republicans:  “Jared who? got $2 billion from the Saudis?  The name doesn’t ring a bell.”
  • Lawsuits and laws wouldn’t be needed to keep Trump off the ballot if Republicans could babysit themselves.
  • Mr. “I Pour Concrete” leads a company that hasn’t had a new construction project since 2008.
  • Don’t forget about upcoming elections on Tuesday, particularly in Ohio, where abortion is literally on the ballot and in Virginia, where it practically is.  Tell your friends to get out to promote local issues, too.
  • Alina Habba appears to not know that they’ve already lost the case.  She seems to genuinely believe the judge is going to walk away without finding her clients culpable of anything.  But I can’t tell if it’s because she’s that bad a lawyer or if she’s just delusional.
  • Santos remains in the House because some people want a conviction in a US court, and while he needs to go IMHO, their objection to the motion is legit.
  • Can Southerners stop thinking of the Senate as a pension for their sports idols?  And the House as the promotion for their preachers?
  • Hey, browser developers, how about a function to personalize the location of pop-up notifications? I’m lookin’ at you, Chrome.
  • I readily admit to not having a birch beer in the last multiple decades, but it still hurts a little to learn Coca-Cola is no longer producing it.  (The best ones were the local brands in Pennsylvania anyway.)
  • In 2024, Dems are going to pick up newly redrawn seats in (at least) Mississippi, Florida, Georgia, and Louisana and likely at least one more in New York (thank you, George Santos).  
  • I always feel like I fucked over my dog with a “Ya wanna go on a car ride?” and it’s to the vet.
  • Sorry, Tommy Tuberville, you are jeopardizing national security for a fruitless political stunt.  Now you’ve painted yourself into a political corner.  You forgot a key tenet of coaching:  always have a second plan.  
  • When you’re a pizzeria, it’s really hard to make a bad pizza.  Yeah, you occasionally burn one, but sending out a pizza with soggy dough is a cardinal sin as bad as getting the order wrong.  Those are two things that will get a place nixed for both in-person and delivery dining.  And while the most popular pizza topping may be pepperoni, the best topping on a really good pizza is no topping at all.
  • I would be a terrible crossword creator.  I’d make one clue virtually impossible to answer in every puzzle.  “IKEA lamp featured in 1977 catalog” which, of course, is the POLKETT.
  • Don’t underestimate Americans’ willingness to embarrass themselves on national television for the slightest chance of winning a modest sum and achieving a glimmer of fame.
