We live in a sensory-overload world now. There are too many channels, two many websites, too many TV and radio stations, too many news casts, too many weather reports, too many editorials, and even too many blogs. Everybody is doing their damndest to get you attention - just so they can show you commercials. THAT is the reality of the explosive media environment we live in.
The point worth making, though, is that once we've filtered through all the garbage and confusion, and we find a news source or a blog or whatever, we rely on them to inform us of the things we want to know about, and nothing more. No drag queens, no beauty pageants or dance competitions - no bullshit.
I hope you guys like what you find here. It ain't easy to put this together every day, but I truly enjoy doing it, and if it makes you smile - or think - I'm doing okay. Thanks for being here.

A Florida man filed a lawsuit against Outback Steakhouse alleging that a handicap toilet he used at one of their locations “suddenly shattered and collapsed” while he was using it.
Michael Green claimed that he sustained “severe bodily injury” during an ill-fated trip to the latrine at an Outback Steakhouse restaurant along Southwest College Road in Ocala, Fla. Green said that the toilet seat in the handicap stall “suddenly shattered and collapsed” while he was on it.

The prank worked because the Yale students looked convincing enough to pass through the stands and organize the stunt before anyone realized what was happening. Just goes to show ya - these Ivy League jerkoffs are just as stupid as me and you...

A Miami-based American Airlines Boeing 737 captain has posted their salary pay statement on reddit, leaving many people speechless.
The pilot’s total year to date compensation was $458K, with the hourly pay being $360+ (flight hours only). Some comments suggest the pilot isn’t even top of earning potential - with widebody pilots earning around 24% higher and pay increases through to 2027 under their current contract. Nice work if you can get it, huh?

“Hakeem Jeffries is ready,” the 20-term California congresswoman remarked in an interview with This Week co-anchor Jonathan Karl. “He’s eloquent, he’s respected by the members, he is a unifier.”Furthermore, Pelosi told Karl that “when” Democrats win the House back, they need to reclaim powers of Congress that she maintained have mostly been handed over to Trump by the Republican-led legislative branch. “Right now, Republicans in the Congress have abolished the Congress,” said Pelosi, who believes every word of the bullshit she herself spews...

You're doing a great job and I visit here to see what's on your mind a couple times a day for the thought, photos and cartoons. Let us all have a very healthy and profitable year! Barco Sin Vela II, Palatka.
ReplyDeleteWere either or both of the helicopter pilots DEI hires like the wrench that killed all those people back in January?
ReplyDeletePart of the pilots pay is to compensate for never having a normal home life. Grant it, Gen-Z doesn't seem to want a normal home life so maybe the airlines can get away with a two-tier pay system and retire out the high pay pilots. Until DEI came along, the experience requirements for commercial pilots was pretty steep.
I live in southwest Connecticut a short drive to NYC. I am eagerly awaiting the retarded Olympics the Mamdani administration promises. It’ll be so cool to watch the Big Apple (no one here calls it that) implode amongst rampant corruption and incompetence. Plus, Theres to prospect of LA style fires. There should be a new Wall Street exchange where I can invest in stupidity futures.
ReplyDeleteAirspaces can get very crowded and it seriously pays to pay very close attention in all directions. I don't know the particulars of this crash, but when I was doing testing flights in a UH-1B helicopter for a company that shall remain un-named a private pilot came out of a loop about 20' away. I just about s**t, and our pilot probably did too. The guy was practicing his loops, didn't see us, and wasn't paying attention to the radio. We didn't see *him* coming because he was going straight down, out of the sun. We shadowed him a few hundred feet away until the idiot woke up and saw us, then he took off in a beeline for wherever he was from. 20' from instant death. Makes you think.
ReplyDeleteI'd much rather see pilots (and doctors and engineers) make mucho dinero, than to hand it to doofuses who can throw a ball through a hoop.
ReplyDeleteCorrection; There are too many lousy channels, two many lousy websites, too many lousy TV and radio stations, too many fake news casts, too many wrong weather reports, too many lying editorials, and even too many no common sense blogs. Too many try to appeal to the ignorant masses. But you're doing pretty good so keep it up.
ReplyDeleteCongress needs to get off their asses and pass Trumps EOs into law or we're gonna get screwed all over again.
ReplyDeleteBridget Bardot was arrested several times for "hate speech" for telling the truth about muslimes.
ReplyDeleteNancy will definitely take over the House if this congress doesn't fix crooked elections. Gawd these people are stupid, corrupt pos.
ReplyDeleteDid you notice that pilot got $7600 for jury duty? What did you get? I got $15.
ReplyDeleteIt takes a boit to become a professional polit. More than you might think. Plus, as pointed out above, no real home life.
ReplyDeleteAnd Ms Bardot did have a fine ass, cute face, and boobs to die for.
It's surprising how fast another plane can come out of nowhere. We were flying a Cessna 172 east into Arizona when a Beechcraft coming west blew past us overhead. Didn't see it until it was about few hundred yards out. Both planes were doing less than 200 mph.
ReplyDeleteFlying bus driver...nice work if you can get it. Best pay rate I ever got as an aircraft mechanic after damn near 50 years in the career was $39/hr. That included every other week being on-call 24/7, starting at 5 pm Wednesday and running through 5 pm the following Wednesday. Still had to be at the hangar & working during normal hours while on call and no, we didn't get paid after hours unless we got called in. So 12 days on, 2 off....works out to 4 days off a month. No crew rest requirements, 30 minute response, travel required. Positive rate...gear up...autopilot engage..guess who's actually flying your ride now? Sleep tight tonite, your mechanics are awake. We're exhausted and running on caffiene & sugar, but we're awake.
ReplyDeleteI remember back in the early 80s when a pilot gave our class a talk. He mentioned pay for a captain was around $100-120k so this doesn't really surprise me.
ReplyDeleteGiusepp', you wrote: "It ain't easy to put this together every day, but I truly enjoy doing it, and if it makes you smile - or think - I'm doing okay. Thanks for being here." So let me say thank you, Giusepp', for "doing it" because your work here does make me smile and does make me think. And you're right about today's sensory overload - I miss the pre-intertubes, pre-cell phone, pre-"devices," pre-"smart TV" times that were much slower-paced and that didn't cost us a small fortune for computers, "devices," phone service, internet security/anti-virus, annual subscriptions to Microflabby, etc., etc., etc. (By the way, about two months ago I found one of my phone bills from 1980 . . . it was $8.62.)
