Great unknowns

December 19, 2023

So the SF Giants signed another free agent – catcher Tom Murphy with an $8 million 2 year contract.

All together now – who?-

Wait, there have already been 8 NCAA bowl games? Wonder how many fans can name more than 1?

White House said Joe Biden plans one more Ukraine military aid package this month, but further assistance to Kyiv will require agreement in Congress.

Since GOP rallying behind man who both says he’ll be dictator AND Presidents have immunity, why not just do it by executive order?

GOP’s John Cornyn on bill for Ukraine aid & immigration reform “Not just Senate & president agreeing to something, we need something that can actually pass House & be signed into law.” W/ all due respect, Sen. Cornyn, today’s GOP led house couldn’t pass a bipartisan kidney stone

Remember, Russia has term limits, similar to USA, two terms for a President.

Vladimir Putin has been in power since 1999 & just signed law he convived to say his previous terms do not count. So he basically has appointed himself President for Life..

Velveeta Voldemort plans to get back to White House & never leave.

Southwest Airlines will pay a $35 million fine as part of a $140 million settlement to resolve a federal investigation into last Christmas’s canceled flights debacle. So how long until the airline adds a “fine” surcharge?

As we approach Christmas, remember, today’s MAGA would absolutely try to deport Mary and Joseph and their “anchor baby” Jesus.

At this point Trump could say he wanted to do a daily real life version of Shirley Jackson’s “The Lottery” and feels like many of his cult members would start filling their pockets with stones.

Apparently a lot of Republican Senators didn’t bother to show up Monday.

Majority leader Chuck Schumer put a number of nominations and procedures through by voice vote. Didn’t see any Senators on the floor besides Schumer and Minnesota’s Tina Smith. This was fun.

Stephen Colbert on the former Senate staffer who was fired for posting a video of himself having sex with another man in a Senate hearing room- which turns out to be the room where Senators grill nominees to the Supreme Court:

“They were doing in the room where they pick the Supreme Court. So in a ways, we’ve all been screwed there.

Jen Psaki reminds us Biden was first sworn into Senate at the hospital bedsides of his 3 & 4 yr old sons, Beau & Hunter, after they were critically injured in the accident killed his wife & daughter.

On top of everything else Joe Biden is a great dad. And GOP should be HONORING him for that.

Okay, even with negative campaigning there are limits….

November 3, 2008

Someone, apparently an Obama supporter, chartered a plane in Oakland to fly over the stadium with the banner “McCain is a Raiders fan.”

Okay, now this negative campaigning is going too far.

After Baylor barely lost to #14 Missouri in football their coach Art Briles said “It was a very emotional, very draining non-win.”

Well, if he loses his job at Baylor, Briles may have a great future with the Republican party.


The Washington Nationals have announced plans to lower the cost of some tickets in 2009.  This will put their prices more in line with other AAA teams.

Kudos to the San Francisco 49ers.  At least they didn’t embarrass themselves this Sunday with a  bye week.

 

Rewritten joke from yesterday:

Halloween is over and President Bush really enjoyed himself.  Although he was surprised to hear from John McCain about the new tradition of keeping your mask on until November 5.

You have to love American elections.  All this money, time and effort spent on convincing people who aren’t smart enough to have made up their minds until the last minute.


Wouldn’t it be nice to have a V-chip or something similar for early/absentee voters?  Then if you vote, you could get a chip for your television that would mute political ads until after the election….
