Do You Wonder...

Does anyone else wonder about this label on certain hamburgers and steaks, that reads 'Grass fed beef'?  We mean what else do cows do but eat grass all day.?  Are there Cows that eat something else?  Chicken maybe?  Seafood?  We don't think so.  What's the BFD with the "grass fed"?

Does anyone wonder about these Tai Chi commercials.  They are all over the internet.  If you watch anything on Youtube you've seen them a hundred times.  There's this guy and he's like over 50 and he's all trim and fit.  In fact, he's ripped.  He has no fat anywhere.  We call him the No Fat On His Body Tai Chi Guy.  And he tells you don't have to work out!  No stress, no strain just Tai Chi!  And you only have to do Tai Chi for 7 minutes a day!  Or sometimes there's a woman like the wife or daughter of a guy asking.  "Can my Husband/Dad go from fat, to No Fat On His Body just like the No Fat On His Body Tai Chi Guy in just three weeks?" Then on comes the No Fat On His Body Tai Chi Guy and he says yes!

Well we got a better solution than even doing Tai Chi for 7 minutes a day.  Just find the AI guy who made the video of the No Fat On His Body Tai Chi Guy and have him do an AI of you too.

With six NFL teams at either 2 or 3 wins and 12 or 13 loses all vying for the coveted first pick in next season's draft how many of you, like us, are wondering how much these teams really want to win their remaining games?  We don't mean the players, some of whom will not even be back next season.  But like the coaches, the general managers, the owners and even the fans.  What's another loss when you've already dumped 12 or 13 games?  Compare that to the number 1 pick.  It's the difference between a lump of coal and sugar plum fairies dancing in your head.  

We can see a lot of these teams going for it on 4th and long today.

A Poll

What is with Brentwood California and knives?  In case you forgot, that was the place where Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman were murdered.  Now it's Rob Reiner and his wife.  Don't they have guns out there?  Guns are more efficient and leave less of a mess.  Most people, who kill people, use guns.  Then again maybe there's a serial killer about.  Serial killers use knives.  This all leads us to question number 1 in our Poll.  Just how sure are you that O.J. did it right now?

A. Still sure.

B. Somewhat sure.

C. Have doubts.

D. O.J. didn't do it.

E.  Who is O.J.?

Yes we know they arrested the son Nick Reiner but then they arrested O.J. too.  How did that work out for them?

Question 2.

And Howard Stern much like Mark Twain, who famously said.  "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated." is not retiring, as previously reported.  Stern has renewed for three more years and he announced that to his fans on Monday.  Stern is 71 years old and do you think...

A.  Renewing his show was a good thing.  His fans will be happy.

B.  He should have retired.  Put a fork in him.  He's done.

C.  Who is Howard Stern?

Question 3.

And speaking of retirement should Travis Kelce retire?  The Chiefs have been eliminated from the playoffs and a shot at a fourth Super Bowl appearance.  His Quarterback Patrick Mahomes suffered a gruesome knee injury who knows if he'll ever be the same.  Which makes you wonder if the Chiefs will ever get to another Super Bowl  And, well, Travis at 36 years old just ain't the man he used to be.  Some say he's just a shell of his former self.  So, should he...

A.  Keep playing, as once he retires there is no real coming back, not in football.

B.  Retire and be the color man on NFL broadcasts.  He could promise to have Taylor Swift show up a few times a year to elbow out all the other washed up Jocks who want the job.

C.  Retire and play in Taylor Swift's band.  You know like just bang a tambourine or tap on a bongo kind of thing.  Maybe dance a little too but not too much.

D.  Who is Travis Kelce?

And here are the results!

Question 1.   Are you still sure O.J. did it?  32% were still sure.  17% were somewhat sure.  11% had doubts, 9% said O.J. didn't do it and 31% wanted to know who was O.J.?

Question 2.   On Howard Stern renewing his contract.  31% thought it was a good idea.  37% thought it wasn't a good idea as Howard is done.  32% wanted to know who was Howard Stern?

Question 3.  Should Travis Kelce retire?  37% thought he should keep on playing.  14% thought he should try to be an announcer.  49% thought he should play in Taylor Swift's band.  And only 2% wanted to know who was Travis Kelce.

 And as our faithful readers know we don't put much faith in Polls, even our own.  But just like all the other Polls we called up 1007 people dumb enough to answer their phones and well, these were the results.

Whatever Happened To...

Global Warming?  It was renamed Climate Change but now that's gone too.  Yeah, people still believe in it but it's hardly ever in the news anymore.  It's not like in the old days when news outlets, magazines, politicians and celebrities would whine and cry about it, like every day.  When was the last time you saw a story or a podcast on it?  The media has moved on.  Greta Thunberg is gone too.  She's moved onto other things you might not have even heard of.  And like a lot of has been, childhood stars, Greta has to get arrested to get any attention nowadays.

Whatever happened to Vanilla Ice?  No, that was not something you would eat in the midst of Global Warming.  That was a guy.  He was a rap artist with a really big hit record and a whole lot of attention.  "Ice, ice baby".  Doesn't ring a bell does it?  We didn't think so.

What happened to Kale?

What happened to Anthony Weiner?  Well he actually got back into politics or tried to.  He ran for a City Council seat in Manhattan, hoping the voters would forgive and forget.  Maybe they forgave or maybe they just forgot who he was.  He lost.

What happened to Cargo Pants?

 And whatever happened to Matt Lauer?  He used to be a somebody but now?  He's not even on an obscure cable channel like Chris Cuomo or even that station out of Russia, that had Dan Rather.  Yeah, yeah, we know what you're wondering.  Who was Dan Rather?

Woman Of The Year 2025

That's right Marjorie Taylor Greene!  Or  MTG as she is known.  Why her?  Well she ran for office like a whole bunch of times before she actually got elected.  We call that tenacious.  And she got elected riding a wave of emotion on just about everything and anything that was controversial.   She was all in for DJT  POTUS 45, 47  and MAGA!  Then she was all against DJT POSTUS 45 & 47!  And MAGA was no longer enough for her.  Then she quit.

MTG also managed to increase her net worth from $700,000 to 25,000,000 in just two Congressional terms!  Yeah that's right!  She's now worth 25 million dollars!

Take a bow MTG!  You touched all the bases and you are our WOMAN OF THE YEAR 2025!

And yes, her leaving office is also commendable.  We hope a whole lot of elected officials of all parties, Federal, State and Local, follow her lead.  This could be the slippery slope, the country really needs.

And the runner ups were...

DJT 45 & 47 POTUS.  He's orchestrated peace deals between Cambodia and Thailand, India and Pakistan, Rwanda and the Democratic Republic of Congo, Iran and Israel and Israel and Hamas and he should be our Man Of The Year!  But well... eh.

The Jeffrey Epstein List.  Readers of this Blog know we give this award out to a Man, A Woman, whoever someone wants to be referred to, or a thing a ma jig.  This is the Thing A Ma Jig.  This Thing A Ma Jig refuses to die and refuses to rear it's ugly head.  It's resisted all kinds of court proceedings, proclamations of exposure by it's victims and even acts of Congress.  But it's out there.  Out there "where blue birds fly, where troubles melt like lemon drops and dreams that you dare to dream really do come true."

For those of you who don't recognize the lyrics, they are from. 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow'*.

Honorable mention: 31/ATLAS, the Alien spacecraft that did not stop by, Valentin Luchin the celebrity chef who robbed three banks in one day, Sydney Sweeny. Cassie Ventura and no, no Elon Musk this year or any other probably.  Rarely has any celebrity fallen from grace so far and so fast.
