Day 1100 – My Record is in Tact!

Monday, January 22, 2024

Remember, I predicted the Bills and Tampa Bay in the Super Bowl?

Remember, I told you that the moment I predict winners they’re gone!

Yeah, well Allen and Mayfield are done for the season.

I feel sorry for Allen. He threw some unbelievable passes, but to quote Tom Brady’s Ex, Giselle, “He can not both throw and catch the ball.” For this truth she was greatly criticized. 

So now who am I going to predict?

Hum.

Well, the best upcoming game will be the Chiefs and the Ravens. The Ravens will win. (Sorry, see ya. Bye!)

Lions/49ers? I’d love to see the Lions win, but it will be San Francisco. This prediction may give the edge to Detroit. Ravens win the Super Bowl!(No wait, they were eliminated by my picking them over the Chiefs. So it will be the Chiefs, thus this prediction dooms them and the Lions will be left winning. Go Lions.!)

In other news Ron De Santis dropped out of the race for President, because “He didn’t see a way forward.” No kidding? A guy with the social skills of – I don’t know…a witless idiot? – couldn’t see a way forward? And throw in that as Governor he tried to show what a tough guy he was by booking a jet and flying immigrants from Texas to Massachusetts to what is it? Oh yeah, “own the libs.” And to arrest people for voting. They weren’t supposed to vote, yet his agency issued them voter cards. Not to mention his cringe inducing social interactions with folks.

This leaves Nikkie Haley and whatshisname. What are Nikkie’s chances? I dunno. She was educated in a South Carolina segregationist school that taught the Civil War was about state’s rights. Her dad is a Sikh. Wait til the voters see him in his turban. Plus, she’s a woman in a misogynistic racist religiously fanatical party. I give her better than even odds. One, she’s pretty good at evading questions. They call that being diplomatic. It’s not, but good enough. Second, if Trump gets found guilty and thrown in jail he might be done, and then she’d get the nod. We’ll see.

Now there’s scuttle butt that Fani Willis may have been having an affair with one of the prosecutors she hired. To which I say, “Oh yeah?” and “So what?” Doesn’t make Trumpy Trump any less guilty. In fact, I would think the Republicans would embrace her as one of their own. You know, being one of the boys, and all that. 

We went and saw the musical Annie at the Altria Theater in Richmond. Everyone knows it as The Mosque. Pretty funny, the big theater in town to see shows celebrates architecture of the Muslim religion. The show was good, not great. Some of the scenes seemed rushed or not well done in terms of intonation. We couldn’t remember any of the scenes except the opening (“It’s a hard knock life”) and “The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow.” I wonder how many of the young people know who Herbert Hoover, FDR, Dillinger, or J. Edgar Hoover are? Fortunately, we don’t have Hoovervilles anymore, just veterans and homeless sleeping under bridges. Damn immigrants. Close the Border!* (Saw a good one asking, “how can immigrants be both on welfare and taking jobs?” Or the other one asking, “When have you heard an American bemoaning the fact that their job as fruit picker was taken by an immigrant?”) 

* I keep asking how closing the border (actually closing the offices where you’d apply to legally enter) helps, and after you do that, what is the plan “to fix” the situation? Current Republican plans for the border are to try and impeach the head of Homeland Security for doing something (not enough!) and to vote down immigration bills so as to make the situation worse so they can use it in their campaigns, and to bring court cases trying to close immigration offices so as to create more chaos at the border. Fix it? F*ck it! seems to be their motto.

As we walked by the stage entrance to Annie there were four 53’ semi tractor trailers parked nearby. Most show have two. And I’m thinking Taylor has one hundred. Speaking of Taylor Swift. I gotta say that Buffalo needs to do some serious renovation to their stadium. I mean Travis scores a touchdown and they pan to the box Taylor is in and she’s backlit. WTF?

But Travis’ brother was there too. I mean years the NFL, best center of his generation, blah blah blah. His brother scores a touchdown and they pan to him, and a backlit Tay-Tay. Here he is shirtless, standing up, hairy chest, waving something around in the freezing cold. I’d expect my brother to do the same of course. On the next touchdown they pan to the booth and there’s Taylor and Mahomes’ wife and shirtless bro. He’s seated, bare-chested knocking back a tequila. I wonder if Brittany, Taylor and mom had to help Jason out of the box?

I also thought if Taylor played Buffalo again (she’s been here three times, but smaller venues) she’d probably play in this stadium and have more in attendance than were at this game. Would Jason be there? Would he be shirtless? So many questions? How many bracelets would he be wearing on his wrists?

Today. Monday. Will Trump campaign or be in court? Are his court appearances considered campaign rallies? So much to consider. Will he claim a write off on his taxes or take money from his campaign claiming that court appearances are campaign events? Will someone throw him in jail? Hello, Seal Team Six, you busy?

Oh sorry. So tasteless.
