  • Some Items From Last Week

    The picture above that shows Prince Andrew on all fours proves once and for all, the old adage; all men are dogs.  Even if you are a Prince, a member of the Royal Family of Windsor and were once in line to be The King.

    The Ground Hog Punxsutawney Phil reared his head last Tuesday and we couldn’t help but have this sensation, like didn’t we see this all before?  We don’t mean like last year and every year or just a brief sense of deja vu but a rather prolonged one.  Like we had just seen it the day before and the day before that.  Anyone else have that?

    The NFL announced that ICE agents would not be conducting operations at this year’s Super Bowl.  Seeing as how the cheapest ticket you can get to sit in the nosebleed seats goes for $4,557.00, we don’t think any of the “huddled masses yearning to breath free” were going to be there in the first place.  We can predict that ICE agents will not conduct operations at the Met Gala this year which costs $60,000 to get in or quite a few other venues, that cost more to get into, than your mortgage payments.

    And clips of Melinda Gates the ex of Bill, shows her explaining that whatever went on between Bill and Jeffrey Epstein, is something you have to ask Bill about.  She said Jeffrey Epstein was a sleaze ball who made her skin crawl, the one and only time she met him.  She’s also seen smiling when she gets done with this explanation.  We’re guessing she’s happy, that Bill slipped her the anti-biotics, even if she didn’t know.

  • Who’d A’…

    2025 Mayoral Candidate Zohan Mandani was going to let everyone ride the buses in New York City for free!  Newly elected Mayor Zohan Mandani, says he can’t do it.  You have to pay.  Who’d a’ thunk it?

    Ex-Pizza man and Minnesota native Mark Anderson tried to escort Luigi Mangione the guy who shot the Insurance clerk in the back, out of the MDC in Brooklyn.  Anderson claimed he was an FBI Agent and he had court papers signed by a Judge and his weapons, we assume he meant stuff issued to a real FBI Agents, were in his bag.  But all he really had was a driver’s license and the bag only had a chunk of Gouda and a Pizza cutter.  He wound up in handcuffs and in front of a real Judge.  Anderson’s court appointed attorney said the ex-Pizza man should be released and taken to a hospital, as he’s mentally ill.  Who’d a thunk that one?

    And the FBI finally released all of the Jeffrey Epstein files and there was finally something in them.  Turns out Bill Gates, genius and billionaire founder of Microsoft asked Jeffrey if he could get him some anti-biotics for his wife.  Seems genius and Billionaire Bill got an STD from one of Jeffrey’s “Russian girls”.  And that reminded us of something Mickey Mantle explained to one of his younger teammates years ago.  One of the hardest things to do Mickey said, was not hit the curveball.  No, it was to somehow explain to your wife, why she has to take anti-biotics, for your head cold.  Maybe genius and Billionaire Bill, figured out how to explain that to his wife but the concept of the condom, escaped him.  Who’d a’ thunk that?

    Note to Billionaire Bill, if you use the condom, you won’t need the anti-biotics.

  • What’s The BFD?

    Alex Honnold just climbed the skyscraper Taipei 101, in Taipei City, Taiwan!  And he did it on Netflix live!  He did it without any ropes or any nets to catch him if he fell!  And he did it solo!  

    We wondered if he washed any windows while he was at it?

    Now window washers usually use a scaffold and there are usually two of them, as it gets the work done faster.  But a whole lot of people work at heights like that.  Like the Iron workers, pictured above.  That’s not AI.  Those were real guys.  That’s how all those skyscrapers like the Empire State Building got built, back in the day.  Which leaves us to ask about Alex Honnold…  What’s the BFD here?

    We think Alex should have taken a rag along with him and wiped a few windows while he was at it.

    And Michelle Obama complains that she is known as Barack Obama’s wife!  Which made us kind of wonder, wouldn’t a whole lot of women want to be Barack Obama’s wife?  He’s a good looking guy, suave, charming, not to mention rich and he was the POTUS!  So what’s the problem here?  What’s the BFD?

    And Paige Spiranac is back on Instagram!  That’s her pictured right above.  She’s been gone for about four months, with no pictures and not a word from her. But she’s back!  This may not seem like a lot to some of you but to us…  It’s a BFD!

  • We Have A Few Questions

    Way back, in 1959 to be exact, there was a movie, a screw ball comedy named ‘The Mouse That Roared’.  It starred Peter Sellers and it told the story of the Grand Duchy of Fenwick and it’s war with the United States.  Why would a little European Duchy declare war on the most powerful country in the world?  Well to lose.  The Grand Duchy of Fenwick was broke and they had seen how the United States had rebuilt the economy of Germany and Japan after WWII and thought well…  

    Of course this was a screw ball comedy, so through a bunch of funny events, the Grand Duchy of Fenwick winds up winning the war.  Funny right?  Well the nation of Denmark just sent reinforcements to Greenland.  Maybe we should surrender now.

    The New York Jets, the Kansas City Chiefs and a whole bunch of NFL teams are busy firing their Offensive and Defensive Coordinators.  These are teams that didn’t make the playoffs and lost a lot of games.  But we just have to ask, who are these guys?  Some of us are really old here and we can remember a time when teams didn’t have them or well if they did, they never got mentioned.  Who cared?  But now well you’ve got to have the right one of these.  We’re just wondering what happened to the players?  Don’t they have something to do with losing all those games?  Or at least the Head Coach.  Did he have something to do with it?

    And Hunter Biden’s baby’s Mama, Lunden Roberts is asking the Judge to jail him.  Why?  Well Hunter isn’t paying his agreed to child support of 5k a month.  Okay that’s not a lot but doesn’t she understand that no one is buying his paintings anymore!  They were going like new Iphones for awhile except they were going for tens of thousands and in one case a half a million dollars!  That’s one of Hunter’s paintings at the top of the page.  You can see the the angst, the yearning and the struggle in it.  It’s not easy being Hunter Biden.

    But it seems now that his paintings have fallen out of favor with the art buying crowd.  You might get one for fifty bucks or if you just asked nicely.  And isn’t Lunden aware that Hunter’s gig with Burisma went poof!  The war over there might have something to do with it.  Or it might have been the bad publicity with it.  But regardless of the why, where is he supposed to get the money?

  • The Legal Edition

    Kiefer Sutherland or Jack Bauer of 24 Hour fame just got arrested for punching out his Uber driver.  But isn’t that what he’s supposed to do?  We mean, punch out the bad guys.  Some of these Uber guys are really terrible.  They don’t know what streets to take. They have to use the GPS thing and they don’t know how to talk to people like old style cabbies did.  We expect the charges to be dropped.  Don’t you?  Why were they even brought?

    And who d a/ thunk’ this one?  Jerome Powell Chairman of the Federal Reserve is under criminal investigation as costs for the new Fed building went from 1.9 billion to 2.5 billion.  Poor Powell must be scratching his head and wondering what’s the big deal with 600 million dollars?  Compared to what everyone else has been stealing.  Hopefully for his case, he didn’t sign off on too many things.  And he can always play the Alzheimer’s card.  “Hunh?  Wha?  How did all these people get in my room?”

    And famed attorney Alan Jackson the guy who got Karen Read off has quit as Nick Reiner’s defense attorney.  And we have two schools of thought as to why.  One, is the kid has no money.  His parents had the money and well…  Or two, Alan Jackson has a conscience and realized the kid is nutso but not legally nutso.  So there’s no way to defend him and all the kid really needs is a Legal Aide who helps the kid say.  “Guilty.”  Twice.

  • To The Shores Of Tripoli

    On April 27th 1805, seven U.S. Marines and about 90 of Hamet Karmanli’s guys, led by Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon captured Derna in the then Regency of Tripoli, modern day Lybia.  It was the first time the U.S. flag was raised on foreign soil.  That’s where the line “to the shores of Tripoli” comes from in the Marie Corps Hymn.  Lieutenant O’Bannon and the U.S. Navy had been sent their by then President Thomas Jefferson to do battle with the Barbary Pirates in what is known as the First Barbary Pirates War.  

    Now this does not exactly equate to pulling Maduro out of his bed and flying him back to New York in a few hours.  We didn’t have helicopters back in 1805, or F-35’s, Aircraft Carriers and C-47’s, so it was quite a trip to Tripoli and back.  But it just goes to show that despite all the screaming from some in the Mass Hysteria, there isn’t anything entirely new with the Maduro intervention.

    And we could have used the word capture instead of intervention here.  Or we could have used operation or arrest.  But we went with intervention, as it sounds like those situations where a few friends get together to try and stop someone from doing drugs.  And the intervention of Maduro, will stop him from the selling drugs.  We don’t know if he uses but if he does, it will stop that too.

    What were the Barbary Pirates doing?  Well they were interfering with international trade, seizing ships, taking hostages and demanding bribes.  Things gangs do that screw up a lot of people’s lives and cost a lot of people, a lot of money.  Does any of this sound familiar?

  • Does Anybody Care?

    On Saturday morning we woke up to find out that Nicholas Maduro, Dictator of Venezuela had been captured along with his wife.  But the information didn’t come from the Mass Hysteria, not the alphabet networks or their websites, or any of the other news websites.  No, the information came directly from  DJT POTUS 45 & 47 via his social media platform Truth Social.  Then Attorney General Pam Bondi announced that Nicholas Maduro and his wife had been indicted in the Southern District of New York.  She announced this on X.  The Mass Hysteria was completely left out of the loop.  Did anyone but us notice this?  Does anybody care?

    And last week Iran’s President Masoud Pezeshkian announced that Iran was in a full scale war with the United States, Europe and Israel.  Did you notice?  Have you heard anything?  What will happen?  Where is the media on this?  Doesn’t anybody care?

    Do you think President Masoud Pezeshkian should have put this declaration of war on Tik Tok?  X?  Truth Social?  Do you think if he had, it would have been taken more seriously.

  • Do You Wonder…

    Does anyone else wonder about this label on certain hamburgers and steaks, that reads ‘Grass fed beef’?  We mean what else do cows do but eat grass all day.?  Are there Cows that eat something else?  Chicken maybe?  Seafood?  We don’t think so.  What’s the BFD with the “grass fed”?

    Does anyone wonder about these Tai Chi commercials.  They are all over the internet.  If you watch anything on Youtube you’ve seen them a hundred times.  There’s this guy and he’s like over 50 and he’s all trim and fit.  In fact, he’s ripped.  He has no fat anywhere.  We call him the No Fat On His Body Tai Chi Guy.  And he tells you don’t have to work out!  No stress, no strain just Tai Chi!  And you only have to do Tai Chi for 7 minutes a day!  Or sometimes there’s a woman like the wife or daughter of a guy asking.  “Can my Husband/Dad go from fat, to No Fat On His Body just like the No Fat On His Body Tai Chi Guy in just three weeks?” Then on comes the No Fat On His Body Tai Chi Guy and he says yes!

    Well we got a better solution than even doing Tai Chi for 7 minutes a day.  Just find the AI guy who made the video of the No Fat On His Body Tai Chi Guy and have him do an AI of you too.

    With six NFL teams at either 2 or 3 wins and 12 or 13 loses all vying for the coveted first pick in next season’s draft how many of you, like us, are wondering how much these teams really want to win their remaining games?  We don’t mean the players, some of whom will not even be back next season.  But like the coaches, the general managers, the owners and even the fans.  What’s another loss when you’ve already dumped 12 or 13 games?  Compare that to the number 1 pick.  It’s the difference between a lump of coal and sugar plum fairies dancing in your head.  

    We can see a lot of these teams going for it on 4th and long today.

  • A Poll

    What is with Brentwood California and knives?  In case you forgot, that was the place where Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered.  Now it’s Rob Reiner and his wife.  Don’t they have guns out there?  Guns are more efficient and leave less of a mess.  Most people, who kill people, use guns.  Then again maybe there’s a serial killer about.  Serial killers use knives.  This all leads us to question number 1 in our Poll.  Just how sure are you that O.J. did it right now?

    A. Still sure.

    B. Somewhat sure.

    C. Have doubts.

    D. O.J. didn’t do it.

    E.  Who is O.J.?

    Yes we know they arrested the son Nick Reiner but then they arrested O.J. too.  How did that work out for them?

    Question 2.

    And Howard Stern much like Mark Twain, who famously said.  “Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated.” is not retiring, as previously reported.  Stern has renewed for three more years and he announced that to his fans on Monday.  Stern is 71 years old and do you think…

    A.  Renewing his show was a good thing.  His fans will be happy.

    B.  He should have retired.  Put a fork in him.  He’s done.

    C.  Who is Howard Stern?

    Question 3.

    And speaking of retirement should Travis Kelce retire?  The Chiefs have been eliminated from the playoffs and a shot at a fourth Super Bowl appearance.  His Quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a gruesome knee injury who knows if he’ll ever be the same.  Which makes you wonder if the Chiefs will ever get to another Super Bowl  And, well, Travis at 36 years old just ain’t the man he used to be.  Some say he’s just a shell of his former self.  So, should he…

    A.  Keep playing, as once he retires there is no real coming back, not in football.

    B.  Retire and be the color man on NFL broadcasts.  He could promise to have Taylor Swift show up a few times a year to elbow out all the other washed up Jocks who want the job.

    C.  Retire and play in Taylor Swift’s band.  You know like just bang a tambourine or tap on a bongo kind of thing.  Maybe dance a little too but not too much.

    D.  Who is Travis Kelce?

    And here are the results!

    Question 1.   Are you still sure O.J. did it?  32% were still sure.  17% were somewhat sure.  11% had doubts, 9% said O.J. didn’t do it and 31% wanted to know who was O.J.?

    Question 2.   On Howard Stern renewing his contract.  31% thought it was a good idea.  37% thought it wasn’t a good idea as Howard is done.  32% wanted to know who was Howard Stern?

    Question 3.  Should Travis Kelce retire?  37% thought he should keep on playing.  14% thought he should try to be an announcer.  49% thought he should play in Taylor Swift’s band.  And only 2% wanted to know who was Travis Kelce.

     And as our faithful readers know we don’t put much faith in Polls, even our own.  But just like all the other Polls we called up 1007 people dumb enough to answer their phones and well, these were the results.

  • Whatever Happened To…

    Global Warming?  It was renamed Climate Change but now that’s gone too.  Yeah, people still believe in it but it’s hardly ever in the news anymore.  It’s not like in the old days when news outlets, magazines, politicians and celebrities would whine and cry about it, like every day.  When was the last time you saw a story or a podcast on it?  The media has moved on.  Greta Thunberg is gone too.  She’s moved onto other things you might not have even heard of.  And like a lot of has been, childhood stars, Greta has to get arrested to get any attention nowadays.

    Whatever happened to Vanilla Ice?  No, that was not something you would eat in the midst of Global Warming.  That was a guy.  He was a rap artist with a really big hit record and a whole lot of attention.  “Ice, ice baby”.  Doesn’t ring a bell does it?  We didn’t think so.

    What happened to Kale?

    What happened to Anthony Weiner?  Well he actually got back into politics or tried to.  He ran for a City Council seat in Manhattan, hoping the voters would forgive and forget.  Maybe they forgave or maybe they just forgot who he was.  He lost.

    What happened to Cargo Pants?

     And whatever happened to Matt Lauer?  He used to be a somebody but now?  He’s not even on an obscure cable channel like Chris Cuomo or even that station out of Russia, that had Dan Rather.  Yeah, yeah, we know what you’re wondering.  Who was Dan Rather?
