Questions ???


For some reason The Talking Heads and The Cognoscenti Of The Known World take to pronouncing certain words or names in the language they come from.  Why?  We're not sure.  We know when it's a French word or name, they think it makes them look enlightened but the VOG NAR group?  We're not sure why they take to pronouncing this one in Russian, when everyone can see it's Wagner.  That's Wagner as in the dog wags its tail or you wag your finger or the WAGS  who are the wives and girlfriends of professional athletes.  But no, The Talking Heads and the Cognoscenti Of The Known World all have to say VOG NAR.  Maybe the VOGNARs called them up early on in their ascent into the Mass Hysteria and told them it's VOG NAR!  And, they're all afraid to say it any other way.  But not us.  For us it's the Wagner's.  Just like some family who lives down the block from you, even if they came here from Russia.  

And yes, that is Yevgeny Prigozhin Head of the Wagner's a the top.  A bad dude, if there ever was one.

And Mark Zuckerberg has picked up the gauntlet thrown down by Elon Musk to a caged match.  We're not sure if this is a WWE style match with girls in bikinis, balloons and confetti or the real thing, as in no holds barred MMA.  But what's the point here?  One pudgy fifty something year old guy against some nerdy looking doofus, neither of whom has ever been in a real fight in their entire lives?  Why?  Who would ever, and we mean ever, want to watch this?

And after a search that went far and wide, a lot of consternation and gnashing of teeth, the search for Pat Sajak's replacement on the TV show The Wheel Of Fortune is...  Ryan Seacrest!  And, like why?  Is the guy out of work or something?  They couldn't find anyone else?  How hard is it to say. "Are there any Ts in there?"  And, "Where are you from?"  And sometimes act as if you're half interested when a contestant tells you their Grandmother was on Wheel Of Fortune back in the last century?  Other people who could use a job and the exposure were available too; Bill O'Reilly, Don Lemon, Chris Cuomo, Matt Lauer, Amy Rorbach and T.J. Holmes and they could be an entry as Vanna White is retiring too, Charlie Rose as he's still kicking and last but not least Dan Rather who is also still, above room temperature.
