Day 865 – The Amazing Being of Lightness

Thursday, June 1, 2023

I really don’t know what the title means but it’s uplifting, and I got part way through making a stunt on the movie of a similar name and had nothing, but here we are. 

I had three comments about yesterday’s post, all of which said similar things, being sick and tired of the behavior of people in one party. I had a positive thought of what to do. Here goes:

Let’s have some good old American justice. Let’s send two cops over and arrest him, or maybe send a swat team with a battering ram. You know, knock once break down the door even though it’s unlocked. Point guns at everyone, make them lie face down on the floor, the driveway, wherever, then wander around doing nothing for 45 minutes or an hour while talking on radios. What’s the charge? Oh yeah, volume 2 of The Mueller Report. And just for fun let’s get the evidence the Italians gave Durham and Barr when they were on their field trip to Italy. And let’s throw in sedition, obstruction of justice, obstructing an official proceeding of Congress, and littering (remember the tissue stuck to his foot?), and rape, adultery, sexual assault, battery, embezzlement, tax fraud, wire fraud, bank fraud, and insurance fraud. I don’t want to go overboard here so I just want to stick to the stuff that is obvious and provable, like conspiracy to commit  election fraud and all its variants.

By the way, this should be done the way cops handle everyday American crime. I’m talking kneeling on the neck, bumping the head on the squad car door jamb, eating fried chicken at your kitchen table with feet up on it while telling you they are going to make your life a living hell and laughing at you.

I want him to have the full experience.

Meanwhile in other news silicon wonderkid black turtleneck lady goes to jail for eleven years. They waited to do this why? She’s a woman! (so unfair). Oh and she was pregnant. Talk about getting f*cked. That means her kid will be getting ready to enter the pre-teen years before she sees them once free. Wow. The whole case is/was strange. What was she thinking? Did she ever have anything? Was it a case of fake it til you make it, or was it a scam all along? I think it wobbled between the two.

But, I’ve seen this all before. The sales team that says, “We can do that!” and hands it off to the techs who say, “No, we can’t” and figure something out.this leads to the “We have good news and bad news” scenario where the bad solution wins (ie “We have a solution! (good news) Unfortunately, the wrong solution was picked (bad news)” then the mop up operation begins. That’s where anyone who stood up for truth gets fired, demoted, or ostracized; and the folks who screwed the pooch get promoted and rewarded. Thus the Peter Principle gets injected with steroids on acid.

Okay now for movie and show reviews. Today I review “Air” and “Ciao House,” which they keep saying “Chow House,” which I always though had more of an emphasis on the vowels with no “H” injected, more like “Cia-ow” with an Italian accent. What do I know?

The show is a food cooking show in Italy. People compete wither together or as teams and get eliminated. There’s a weird vibe (I hate the term “vibe” btw) to it. It’s like “I want you to enjoy the beautiful Tuscan sun, the herbs, and the flavors of Italy. Cook a beautiful meal.” then “What the hell is this? You didn’t get it.”

My favorite contestant is the really cute blond woman who says making pasta is her forte. Unfortunately, every time she makes pasta it’s not very good, causing her team to lose. Somehow she mad it to the finals before getting eliminated. Because they eliminated people in two person teams, they typically had a strong cook and a weak one on a team; both got eliminated. This ended up with two so-so chefs in the final and the really strong cooks eliminated. What to do? Bring everyone back to cook again and pick one to go against the two finalists.Then the judges couldn’t decide between two contestants so they have to cook again. It seemed to me that they realized they needed another episode. Strange show.

“Air” the story of how Nike signed Michael Jordan is fabulous. It shows how Nike went from almost being eliminated in the basketball shoe business to positioning itself to dominate it in a way on company had ever done. Did I talk about that yesterday? I did. Who played Michael’s mom? Viola Davis. She’s the Tom Hnaks of that kind of role.

And lastly, I have a boffo idea. Why can’t someone submit a form asking for Ron DeSantis’ book to be banned? Reason? (You need a reason?) Pornography, offensive, stoopid, deranged – how about that for reasons? I’d misspell his name, give it more of an immigrant twist. Call it too wookie as well. (That’s a play on “Woke” get it? Get it?)

This makes me wonder about something – who was the last Republican president that was really smart? Abe Lincoln? Teddy Roosevelt? Those are the only two that come to mind.

Meanwhile, the list of Democratic presidents that were smart – wow: Obama, Clinton, Carter, Johnson, Kennedy to name the most recent ones. (Okay, you argue Carter in terms of being effective, but he was smart. Johnson was effective but maybe not as smart as the others, but compared to the Republican opponents? Come on.)

I gotta go. 

Be smart. Be effective. Dream big.
