Scratching Our Heads


With people finding classified files all over the place, we're sort of left scratching our heads.  We know this is a great occasion for people locked in the seemingly never ending, vitriol laced, exhortation of verbiage that seems to pass for discussion nowadays, to scream.  "Your guy did it too!"  And, now we can have all kinds of investigations which usually lead nowhere and result in well... not too much.  But before all that unfolds, we're bewildered by one thing.  Sort of like detective Columbo in the old TV series of the same name.  And, that is, who has paper files anymore?  We don't?  Do you?  We mean this is the 21st Century and you can pay all your bills, buy a car, a home, bitcoins, get rich, go broke, write novels and never hit the print button.  And, you don't have to put pen to paper for an actual, old style signature either.  Your face, your eyeball or your fingerprint will suffice.  Yet here is the most powerful, sophisticated government in the history of humanity and people are walking around with paper files marked CLASSIFIED and TOP SECRET, like they used to do in the old James Bond movies back in the 1960's.  Not only that but they seem to take them into the garage, the den and read them while on the toilet.  And, that last location has us puzzled too.  Is there something in those documents, that make you go?  Or are they just that boring?

Maybe we're missing something like there's a punchline out there somewhere.  Or maybe it just escapes us here and everyone else gets it.  But we're sort of left scratching our heads.

And this one had us scratching our heads for a while and now they're going to release the body cam footage of the Police Officers who were called to Paul Pelosi's house in the early AM, when he got hit over the head with a hammer.  We're pretty sure the body cam footage is going to show that someone was in their underwear, different reports say it was Paul Pelosi in his underwear other's say it was the assailant but either way in all the reports and hospital records, Paul Pelosi gets hit over the head with a hammer.  Now some of The Talking Heads of the Mass Hysteria have been scratching their heads and their whole bodies with righteous indignation and demanding to know what was the guy (the assailant) doing there at early hours of the AM, how do these two people know each other and who was in their underwear?

But not us.  No, the reason we've been scratching our heads and doing it for a while too, is how were Paul Pelosi and Nancy Pelosi former Speaker of The House of Representatives of the United States of America, able to amass a fortune of over 171 million dollars?  Was it wise investing?  Was it dumb luck?  Was it things like, they both sold over 30,000 shares of their Apple Stock, just a few weeks before the Federal Government started an anti-trust investigation of Apple?  And, Appel's stock then took a dive but Paul and Nancy didn't lose a dime?

And, not to be partisan because we've also been scratching over heads over one for a while too and it's how did Mitch McConnel Republican Majority Leader of The Senate of The United States of America, amass a fortune of over 34 million dollars?  Was it dumb luck striking once again?  Or was it wise investing, once again?

Hopefully, we've now left you and a whole lot of people, scratching their heads.

P.S. We went to press with this early Friday morning and since then the body cam footage has been released.  Rather than edit this article we chose to just update it and it seems that Paul Pelosi was the one in his underwear and yes, just like we said, Paul Pelosi got hit in the head with the hammer.
