Jukebox:  What's Good For the Goose is Good for the Gander

Believe it or not, that is Ozzie Nelson's orchestra, with Harriet Nelson---of "Ozzie and Harriet" fame---singing.

Can't be, I don't see anyone biting the heads off bats.

Oh, wrong Ozzie...

"The Republican Club would rather lose elections and retain power than win and be held accountable to deliver on their false promises."

No truer words have ever been spoken.  As much as I like Ron DeSantis, anybody Paul Ryan supports has to be suspect. People like Ryan should be put in front of a wall.  He sold his soul a long time ago.

The Trump adulation in certain quarters is such that I am surprised to have not yet seen a rewrite of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" with the line "He is Trumpling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored." 

I won't be writing it myself, thank you.

Things could get interesting - and I mean that in the sense of the (supposed?) Chinese curse "May you live in interesting times"

Poland has apparently invoked Article 4 of the NATO treaty

The defense minister added that NATO could respond by providing further anti-aircraft defense in Poland and in part of Ukraine. Pabriks has invoked Article 4 of the NATO treaty, which would have the allies meet to hold a consultation on the situation and further action.

I'm seeing some reports that the missile is a stay Uke air defense missile, not Russian.

Jeez, I hope so.

Crypto 

Get investors 

For the blockchain

That is mining

Just hand over all your hard cash

And crypto

It’s the new currency 

Ha ha ha…

I saw some reports that said it was a Ukranian defence missile as well.

So...Trump has announced he's running for president again.  If he kisses and makes up with DeSantis, and chooses DeSantis as his running mate, the campaign song can be:

Help me, Ron D

Help, help me, Ron D

Help me, Ron D

Help, help me, Ron D

Help me, Ron D, yeah---

Get back into the House!

So I’ve got some moving on in the background that was released last year, while I put her around my place cleaning up. I’ve noticed something; I can’t think of a single movie that was released during the last two years, that I’ve seen, that in anyway acknowledges the Covid pandemic.  

not one that has characters wearing masks, practicing social distancing, anything like that. I find that interesting.

In #24 @PBJ3 said: For the last six hours ago Sky News has been reporting ongoing news about the "explosion" in Poland near the border of Ukraine and the death of two citizens there.

I do wonder if the NY Fake News Times reported it as "Poland invades Russia"

(The newspaper of wreckord reported in 1939 that Poland invaded Germany. Walter Duranty was not the only fake newsman)
