Random thoughts Friday, Volume LX

  • Ukraine got the better end of the “let’s make a TV star president” proposition.
  • A man from Ukraine learned his wife and two children died in a mortar attack in Kyiv by seeing a viral photo online.  I cannot imagine a more horrific way to learn about your family’s annihilation.
  • Trump’s idea to put Chinese emblems on US attack aircraft to bomb the Russian convoy outside Kyiv shows how little he understands military operations.  First, it’s not like that’s a war crime, and second, it’s not like every military in the world isn’t taught how to identify planes by silhouette.  
  • They say one can judge you by the friends you keep.  Trump says that Vladimir Putin, Kim Jong-un and Xi Jinping are his friends, and he never got along with any democratically elected leader.  That tells you all you need to know about his aspirations.
  • Russia has already reportedly lost more troops in Ukraine in the last two weeks than the US lost in a decade and a half in Iraq.  And the Ukrainian insurgency has just begun.  This does not bode well for Putin.
  • Guys, I’m beginning to think Madison Cawthorn has no respect for the rule of law.
  • Fox reporter Jennifer Griffin is rightfully gaining praise for debunking the network’s pro-Russian talking points.  However, Fox is limiting the impact of her reporting by (1) reducing her on-air appearances and (2) putting her at the beginning of broadcasts so she can’t correct misinformation given during the previous hour.  Prediction:  she’s not with Fox at the end of the year.
  • Your demigod is a supposed billionaire, yet he’s begging you for money to pay for his private jet.  Shouldn’t that tell you something’s seriously wrong with this picture?
  • Take that last sentence and replace the opening clause with “Your TeeVee pastor already has three jets…” and the sentence still holds.
  • The week before Jussie Smollett was sentenced for his fraud, a white California woman was charged with faking her own kidnapping, bringing in federal authorities to investigate across state lines.  (She was having a rendezvous with her ex-boyfriend.)  Strangely, Fox didn’t mention it once, which is strange given they love stories about kidnapped blond women.
  • In the real world, if you demonstrate a lack of knowledge about traffic laws, you get sent to Driving School.  We should demand politicians who don’t understand the Constitution attend a mandatory high school civics course.
  • Joe Biden’s net approval rating has jumped four full points in the last week. The strong SOTU laid the groundwork for this.  
  • Why does anyone need bluetooth connectivity for their electric toothbrush?  To amplify the radio signals you’re getting in your teeth???
  • No, the Keystone Pipeline wouldn’t have helped lower gas prices.  It’s the wrong type of crude for the best gasoline (heavy vs. light crude), and the refined gas would go on the world market, not come to the US.  
  • If I have an Impossible Whopper for lunch on a Friday during Lent, does that violate the letter or the spirit of the “meatless Friday” dictum?
  • Favorite “Guilty Pleasure” television shows:  I’m a sucker for mindless supernatural stuff.  Give me an Osbornes Want to Believe or a Bigfoot special.  I can completely tune out while it’s on.  Currently, it’s probably Miss Maisel.  At one point, I would’ve responded quite guiltily “Dancing with the Stars,” but it’s gone from bad to worse in the past couple seasons.  And I’ll still sneak an odd episode of Hogan’s Heroes.
  • Kenny Blankenship’s Painful Eliminations of the Day!!!
