  • 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.

  • Our Woman Of The Year 2025!

    That’s right Marjorie Taylor Greene!  Or  MTG as she is known.  Why her?  Well she ran for office like a whole bunch of times before she actually got elected.  We call that tenacious.  And she got elected riding a wave of emotion on just about everything and anything that was controversial.   She was all in for DJT  POTUS 45, 47  and MAGA!  Then she was all against DJT POSTUS 45 & 47!  And MAGA was no longer enough for her.  Then she quit.

    MTG also managed to increase her net worth from $700,000 to 25,000,000 in just two Congressional terms!  Yeah that’s right!  She’s now worth 25 million dollars!

    Take a bow MTG!  You touched all the bases and you are our WOMAN OF THE YEAR 2025!

    And yes, her leaving office is also commendable.  We hope a whole lot of elected officials of all parties, Federal, State and Local, follow her lead.  This could be the slippery slope, the country really needs.

    And the runner ups were…

    DJT 45 & 47 POTUS.  He’s orchestrated peace deals between Cambodia and Thailand, India and Pakistan, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran and Israel and Israel and Hamas and he should be our Man Of The Year!  But well… eh.

    The Jeffrey Epstein List.  Readers of this Blog know we give this award out to a Man, A Woman, whoever someone wants to be referred to, or a thing a ma jig.  This is the Thing A Ma Jig.  This Thing A Ma Jig refuses to die and refuses to rear it’s ugly head.  It’s resisted all kinds of court proceedings, proclamations of exposure by it’s victims and even acts of Congress.  But it’s out there.  Out there “where blue birds fly, where troubles melt like lemon drops and dreams that you dare to dream really do come true.”

    For those of you who don’t recognize the lyrics, they are from. ‘Somewhere Over The Rainbow’*.

    Honorable mention: 31/ATLAS, the Alien spacecraft that did not stop by, Valentin Luchin the celebrity chef who robbed three banks in one day, Sydney Sweeny. Cassie Ventura and no, no Elon Musk this year or any other probably.  Rarely has any celebrity fallen from grace so far and so fast.

  • Are They Missing Something?

    While the media is all stimulated to the nth degree over all the allegations coming out of the P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy Daddy, Brother Love, Love, Sean Combs trial, we have to ask, are they missing something?

    First off the people you see on the various screens and in print media are getting paid to say whatever they are saying.  And it’s not a few shekels either.  Not that anyone is lying but if the Producers of whatever show you are watching tell the people speaking to say this that or the other thing, that’s what they are going to say.  Some of us here would never do that but a some of us would and happily so.  Also if you can play up what is sensational or lurid and get more eyeballs, well a whole lot of people will say whatever is necessary.  This goes not just for the Diddy drama but all things you see.

    So while the Talking Heads, the Know It All’s, and the Cognoscenti of The Known World tell you that Cassie Ventura is the STAR WITNESS and the Defense tries to show that she was a willing participant and Combs is not charged with domestic violence.  Not charged with being a sex freak or even a bad guy.  And for all those reasons, the prosecution is having a hard time proving their case.  Well, they might be missing something.

    The Prosecution has only called five witnesses and they have already established that Combs orchestrated these Freak-Offs on a regular basis.  That he planned these Freak-Offs right down to the smallest itty, bitty detail.  That he procured MDMA, Cocaine, Pink Cocaine and other drugs, all of which are illegal.  It is illegal to procure, possess and distribute illegal drugs.  That he hired prostitutes.  That’s illegal.  That he brought some of these prostitutes across state lines.  That’s illegal.  That he recorded Cassie engaging in sex acts.  The jury saw the recording.  That he threatened to release that recording unless Cassie did what he wanted.  That is blackmail.  That is illegal.  Will his attorneys try to say he didn’t make the recording and didn’t threaten her with it?  Who is going to believe that?  And he also offered to bribe people to cover up these crimes and he did all of this, over and over and over again.  And that he employed a whole bunch of people in order to carry out these illegal acts.  That, is the very definition of a, Racketeering Influence, Corrupt Organization.  And that is what he’s charged with.

    So it doesn’t matter if Cassie Ventura is a willing participant or not.  Unless the Defense can show that there were no drugs, no Prostitutes, no offers of bribes, no recording that the jury already saw, no threat of releasing that recording and give a big no to all the other illegal acts.   Well, we’re sorry to have to report that Mr. Combs is guilty.

    So it’s not like the defense lawyers will just say anything and their sycophants in the media repeat it.  It’s just that they all get paid regardless of the outcome.  They bill by the hour.  They get paid no matter what the jury decides and they are getting paid on this one, big time.

    And, we don’t know what a jury will do and we don’t make predictions.  But it’s only week one of a proposed six weeks of the Prosecution’s case.  We’re sure there will be a whole lot of witnesses who will also establish that P. Diddy, Puff Daddy, Puffy Daddy, Brother Love, Love, Sean Combs orchestrated and ran an organization that committed crimes over and over again.  By the end of all this, it is not going to matter whether you, or the jury believe Cassie was or was not, a willing participant.  It will be did he orchestrate all these crimes?

    In closing as they say in the legal business, we’d just like to point out that Cassie Ventura has the kind of courage, that you can live a long time and never see.
