Richard Nixon
Not looking so bad these days, am I?

Odd thoughts floating around on an overcast Friday morning:

  • According to the New York Times, the Russian people are waking up to the realization that in a war soldiers get killed and a sizable number of them in this war are, well, Russian. It's gotten so bad that Tsar Vlad has ordered all the independent media outlets in the country shut down because they've been reporting that inconvenient truth. Even Tricky Dick never tried that during Vietnam, though I'm sure he thought about it. Thought about it and then dismissed it because as bad as the Trickster was, he wasn't as bad as Putin currently is.
  • I must be getting old, I just said something nice about Dick Nixon.
  • If Dick Nixon were alive today he'd be a Manchin Democrat.
  • Chelsea Football Club is currently owned by Roman Abramovich who is one of Putin's oligarch allies. Abramovich has put a big ass yacht-load of money into the club and they have responded by winning lots of trophies for their supporters. Those supporters turned a blind eye to where all that money came from. Because of pressure for being a friend of Vlad P, Abramovich says he will sell the club. Estimates hover around a billion pounds as the sale price. He bought the team in 2003 for 140 million pounds. That's an 860 million pound profit. Um, no. You don't get to walk away with an 860 million pound profit. British authorities should seize the club the same way they seize the Lamborghinis and manor homes of drug kingpins. Then it should be auctioned off. I got $1000 burning a hole in my bank account I'd spend to own the boys in blue.
  • That ought to get Saudi Prince Mohammed bin Salman's attention. He only had one journalist killed (that we know of) before buying Newcastle United Football Club. Maybe he figures he can escape because the team is likely to be relegated.
  • Honestly, what the hell is it with Repugnicants? CPAC was bad enough with the cries of Candace Owens about male bears killing their cubs for sex (which isn't true) and Ben Carson's nongender worms, but that was tame compared to the shindig down the road at AFPAC where white nationalists cheered the Russian invasion of Ukraine, cheered Tsar Vlad, and cheered Marjorie Taylor Greene who showed up to cheer them up I guess. Of course she immediately denied knowing Nick Fuentes the organizer of the event and world famous pointy headed (so it fits under the hood) white supremist. She and her best gal pal Lauren Boebert then decided the State of the Union Address was a great place to demonstrate that it IS possible for women to be dicks.
  • Again, not Dick Nixon.
