In the news, they run from crisis to crisis. Even if they have to make one up...

This week it's been the temperature. I figure by January, hell will be freezing over. You have to remember one simple thing about the news media. None of it exists in a vacuum - nothing is free. The sole purpose of every news editor on any media format is to fill in the space between the ads. Nothing more, nothing less. 
Even the so-called 'crusading news outlets' have an agenda that corresponds directly with this mandate, so don't be fooled. And by all  means, do not pay attention to anything they say today because tomorrow they'll flip 180 degrees if that's what it takes to sell ads...

And then you have these hateful jerkoff editorial cartoonists who'll 
make up bullshit outrage just because they have to deliver a drawing every 
day. I haven't heard a single peep from anyone - except maybe Ted Cruz - comparing the Bud Light nonsense to this movie. Have you?

The tallest mountain in our solar system, Olympus Mons on Mars. It has a height of 15.5 miles while Mount Everest is 'only' 5 1/2 miles tall. Don't be impressed by the size of the mountain. Be impressed with the fact that you can see a picture of it.

Ya see - not all news is bad...

Republican lawmakers claimed the federal government is releasing new charges against Trump to distract from Hunter Biden's alleged crimes. Special Counsel Jack Smith's team of prosecutors unveiled additional charges against Trump Thursday night for keeping classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago estate. But it only came after the Department of Justice's deal with Hunter Biden collapsed, leaving the First Son susceptible to further criminal charges.

I remember back in the summer of '57 or '58, my father 
rented one of these for the five of us - him, my mom and my two brothers - drove from NJ to Quebec for a week's vacation. Five of us in the station wagon and sleeping in that thing, camping out in public campsites and stuff. Longest seven days of my life.

An Ohio police officer who released a police dog on an unarmed 
black guy who had his hands raised has thrown the use of canines by law enforcement back into the national spotlight. On Wednesday, the Circleville police department announced that the officer, who has been identified as Ryan Speakman, had been terminated “effective immediately”. 
They should sick the fuckin' dog on him. It's jerkoffs like this guy that give all cops a bad name. He deserves everything he gets.

Anheuser-Busch plans to lay off hundreds of corporate employees, another different  company spokesperson told ABC News on Thursday. The layoffs come months after a product endorsement from Dylan Mulvaney, a transgender influencer, in April set off a consumer boycott among conservatives that hammered sales.
The layoffs will affect "less than 2%" of the company's U.S. employees, the company said. That figure amounts to roughly 380 workers, since the company's website says it employs a total of about 19,000 U.S.-based workers.

  1. That 85-year-old-drinker? We had an old miserable grouch of a boss who drank heavily and smoked til the very end. Died In his early 90s. Last time we visited he started his morning off with a couple screwdriver doubles before driving back home 2.5 hours away. Like they said, he wasn't good enough to get into heaven and the devil already had enough problems so we were stuck with him. Kinda miss that character. He was funny.

  2. Like so many stories of white cop , black suspect I will wait until the whole story comes out. That in only one story in about six was it reported they had too use stop sticks to get the black driver to stop. That the biden admin has put their two cents into this makes me all the more suspicious. No where have I found how long they had to chase this clown until with flattened tires he finally stopped.

  4. Don't worry about "bud lite universal company"! They own modelo- it's just smoke and mirrors to them seeking sympathy about their own fuck ups! They show you who gets punished for their mistakes! Us! That's who! The people that decide these monumental foul-ups don't even drink their own swill, so why should we?
