Not up in the air

February 2, 2026

Hard to feel sorry for pro athletes making big money.


But San Antonio Spurs had yesterday’s 2p game in Charlotte moved up 11a in hopes of beating the bomb cyclone. Didn’t work. Team still sat on plane for 2 hrs before it was cancelled.

So they rescheduled for this morning, had the flight to San Antonio diverted to Atlanta for a mechanical issue. Finally made it back about 4p, (And had their game start time vs Orlando delayed twice, from 3p to 6p to 8pm.)

Even chartered planes are no match for Mother Nature

So is there ANYTHING Donald won’t destroy or tear down to feed his monstrous ego? We’ve elected a Trumpzilla. #KennedyCenter

–

So since Bad Bunny won the top award tonight, how long until Donald Trump tries to shut the Grammys down?

–

So MAGA, admittedly I didn’t hear all his speeches but I missed Trump’s promise “vote for me and I’ll shut down the Kennedy Center for two years…”

–

“Melania” received an 11% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes despite scoring 99% with the site’s “verified audience.”

They’re saying the people who actually saw the documentary liked it?

Both of them?

–


So how long do theaters who have agreed to show the Melania movie have to keep it on screen before they pull it?

–

Would love to see the number of Americans who streamed or watched Catherine O’Hara movies and shows this weekend compared to those seeing the Melania movie.

–

Getting all kinds of ads and offers to resubscribe to the Washington Post. At the same time the paper is reportedly gutting its staff. Hard pass.

Haven’t given up on the NY Times yet, but even in California, besides our local SF Chronicle, my newspaper money is much better spent on the Minnesota Star Tribune.

On SNL Cold Open last night on ICE Tom Homan asks “What have you learned? An ICE agent responds Maybe I’ve got this wrong but ..you hired a bunch of angry aggressive guys, gave us guns and didn’t train us so maybe this is what you wanted to happen?”

Florida Surgeon General on ending vaccine requirements for kids in school

“Who am I to tell you what to put in your body?”

So Joseph Ladapo is endorsing women’s right to take the abortion pill. Got it. #Smallmercies

High Gatorade mark…

September 16, 2025

On Friday night Sept 12, the SF Giants beat the LA Dodges with a walkoff grand slam by Patrick Bailey.

They haven’t won since.

Meanwhile, in the NFL, there is controversy over Fox News broadcaster and Oakland Raiders part owner Tom Brady sitting in the coaching booth for games, and getting potential inside information before pre-games that could benefit his team..

The man who got the benefit of most NFL calls on the field might now be getting preferential treatment and inside information as an owner? I am shocked, shocked…

As we remember Robert Redford in “All the President’s Men,” remember that Richard Nixon was openly hostile to the Washington Post, but publisher Katharine Graham refused to bow to him. Jeff Bezos, you’re no Katharine Graham.

As Trump visits Great Britain… A YouGov poll in July found 16% of Britons surveyed say they have a positive view of him…. That high?

“I’ve never loved my country more desperately. God Bless America.” Stephen Colbert, accepting his Emmy award.

RIP Robert Redford. This exchange from “The Way We Were” always stuck with me. Hubbell, “I don’t see how you can do it.” Katie “And I don’t see how you can’t” Worth watching if you haven’t seen it, or if you have forgotten. Set partly during the McCarthy era…

NY Times, once again with a headline that is, to say the least, understated. “In an Era of Deep Polarization, Unity Is Not Trump’s Mission President Trump does not subscribe to the traditional notion of being president for all Americans.”

MSNBC reporting that ICE came into Hyundai plant with warrants for four Hispanic men. And left with almost 500 handcuffed & shackled South Korean men. Men now complaining about really bad treatment… Why would ANY foreign government consider building a plant now in USA?

So are any of the big law firms who genuflected before Velveeta Voldemort now being asked to donate legal services to his efforts to sue the NY Times? Asking for a country who would really like to see the release of the Epstein files.

Molly Ivins was one of my heroes. While liberal she believed in free speech. Left half her estate to the ACLU.

Can still remember meeting her in 1993 at Printer’s Ink in Palo Alto and hearing her say “Ya’ll think free speech is easy. It’s not. If you believe in it you have to believe in free speech for Skokie neoNazis.”

–

Trump fundraising email today:

“The Radical Left wants one thing & one thing only: TO IMPEACH ME AND REMOVE ME FROM OFFICE LIKE A DOG!”

1. Liberals want many things, healthcare, education, vaccines, food security, clean air/water etc…

2. But on a simpler note, he uses “dog” like it’s a slur.

Meanwhile, over in England, Queen Camilla just said she is sick and is avoiding meeting Donald, leaving the duty to her husband.

We are all Camilla.
