Working?

For years it was Live with Kelly and Ryan in the morning on ABC.  Before that it was Kelly and Regis and before that it was Regis and...  We'll stop here as this is starting to sound like the Bible but the show has always been a man and a woman drinking coffee and bantering about just anything or nothing.  The concept was always a married couple having their morning coffee.  Of course most of the time the couple on Live With... weren't actually married and everyone knew it was all just make believe.  A real married couple wouldn't banter all cute all the time and certainly not in the morning.

But then someone at ABC got a bright idea why not bring in Kelly's real live husband Mark?  He's actually better looking than Ryan and since the concept is a married couple bantering, why this would be great!  But whoever thought this up didn't realize it was the fantasy that made the show.  First off whether it was Regis or Ryan or some other host filling in as the man, they invariably would listen to Kelly.  Everyone knows that men hardly listen to their real wives, especially in the morning.  So, the audience liked the fake husband, who was listening.  Now that they have the real husband who has to act like he's listening, well, it's too fake.  So, it's just not working out.

And all charges have been dropped against Alec Baldwin.  Those were two counts of involuntary manslaughter.  In case you forgot or never knew, Alec Baldwin shot two of his employees while making the western movie, 'Rust'.  Alec was practicing his quick draw in front of the camera, when his gun went off.  He wounded one person and sadly, killed another.  There was a lengthy investigation and then the charges were brought against Alec.  But now it seems the Prosecution has come around to believing Alec, when he said he never pulled the trigger.  This, in spite of the F.B.I. testing that gun and saying it was not possible for the gun, to fire without someone pulling the trigger.  Guess no one believes the F.B.I., anymore.  But with all charges dropped, Alec is headed back to the set of  'Rust' out in New Mexico, where they can start shooting again.  Guess things are working out for Alec.

And, Huma Abedin was seen having dinner with her estranged or just strange ex-husband Anthony Weiner.  Not so long ago, Huma and Anthony were a power couple on the rise, as she was an aide and also a  close friend/confidante of HerHillaryness.  And, he of course a Congressmen and close friend/confidante of Chuckie Schumer.  But then Anthony literally, couldn't keep his thing in his pants and got not only wished off to the cornfields but also sent to the Hoosegow.  Huma got the divorce and seemed to have bounced back in the last few years.  Thanks to a lot of jobs and money from HerHillaryness's friends.  And, she was even dating Academy Award winning actor, Bradley Cooper!  But then, there she was just the other night, out to dinner with Anthony.  We're guessing things with Brad just didn't work out.

Questions

We're not sure if the war on terror is over, as no one has made any such announcement.  But it does seem that the Mass Hysteria and the Government, if we can differentiate between the two, have not mentioned the war on terror or the terrorists too much in the last few years.  Guys with bombs in their or shoes or underwear are starting to become quaint, old memories.  It seems the only place you can find operational terrorists is on our TV shows.  In fact, it seems that over the last twenty two years since 9/11, there have been more terrorists on our TV shows, than there were in real life.  Which kind of leaves us wondering, why is that?

And, with crime soaring in New York City, Mayor Adams is unveiling these guys right here.

We call it R2D2 to the rescue.  And, these Bots have all kinds of abilities.  Like they can detect people in remote areas which sounds like the Grand Canyon or an empty warehouse.  So this is a great idea since they'll be deployed in Times Square, where as the saying goes about crowded places. "It's like Times Square in there".  And the Bots will be on the Subway another place where it's.  "Like Times Square in there."  The Bots can also read license plates.  And again, this is great idea for Times Square where traffic inches forward at about two miles an hour and a  senile, old man with cataracts could do the same thing.  And, we're kind of wondering what kind of graffiti the Bots will get tagged with?  And, will people pet the Digi-dog Bot?  And last but not least.  Do we feel safe now?

And then there is the Who's Who at King Charles III Coronation.  Prince William and Kate and all their kids will attend, of course.  Then there is the Prince and Princess of Monaco, of course.  And, the Prince and Princess of Japan.  Bet you didn't even know they had them.  Then ending all the speculation Harry is coming but no Meghan or their kids.  Wasn't hard to see that one coming.  But not coming is Elton John, whoa.  Why would he?  Possible attendees include David and Victoria Beckam.  Like what did they ever do?  And, ditto on that with TV actress Sandra Oh.  Hunh?  And, no one here got an invite.  Ah, who'd a' thunk it?

Who

Just last week it was announced that Meghan Markle will get the Women of Vision Award and it will be presented to her by Gloria Steinem.  Now a whole lot of people have gotten in a huff and said that Meghan shouldn't be getting that award.  But we're pretty sure that a whole lot of people who watch this presentation will be looking at Gloria Steinem and wondering, who is she?  That's her next to Meghan pictured above.

Now Lucy Ling says Barbara Walters pictured right above here, was forced out of her role on The View.  She did not retire gracefully, as was said at the time.  And, those of you who are over 70, know who Barbara Walters was and some of you over 60 know too.  But the rest of you, well we're sure you're kind of horrified over her being forced out of The View, probably for being too old.  You're saying boo hoo.  But your probably also wondering, who is she?

And, they've released the 911 recording of  the call from when Tekashi 6inx9ine, was getting his beat down.  That's him pictured above.  For those of you who don't know who he is, he is a rapper/gangsta,  like a whole lot of other rapper/gangstas.  But this Tekashi 6inx9ine let it all go to his head and he actually joined a real gang, The Bloods.  When they all got arrested, Tekashi 6inx9ine was looking at a R.I.C.O. sentence of over 30 years.  Just like a real gangsta.  That's when he realized the gangsta thing, wasn't such a hot idea.  He then gave up all his buddies, so he could avoid the 30 years and take a walk.  Now a whole lot of people don't like that kind of thing, being a Rat and a few of them gave him a beat down.  And, you may recognize him, as he has the kind of face that's how to say?  Memorable?  And it's been in the news at lot.  But we're pretty sure you're asking.  Who cares?

BTW we have no idea how to pronounce Tekashi 6inx9ine.  Do you?

Pfft Redux

Is this pfft once again?  You know the noise made when the air, just rushes out of the balloon.  At first there is that big bright, shinning promise, like the big, happy face of a balloon filled with air or even helium and then well, pfft.  Such is the case with the non-arrest and the non-indictment of one Donald John Trump 45th President of the United States.

Last week he, himself, one Donald John Trump 45th President of the United States, announced that he would be arrested on Tuesday March 21st, just in time for spring.  There has been a grand jury convened and looking into hush money paid to one Stormy Daniels, former Sex Worker and aging Porn Star.  This of course this is a felony called bribery, even if the payment didn't work out too well.  She didn't keep her mouth shut and the payer, Mickey ex-felon Cohen, went to prison.  So would one ex-president get indicted, arrested?  BTW shouldn't ex-Sex Worker and aging Porn Star Stormy Daniels be indicted and arrested for bribery as well?  If paying a bribe is a crime, then certainly taking one is too.

But come Tuesday March 21, nothing happened.  We thought something was fishy when not too many outlets of the Mass Hysteria were purporting anything about it.  They should have been having an absolute hissy fit.  But only the NY Post ever undaunted, said this Grand Jury would reconvene on the Wednesday.  But then the Wednesday came and went and nothing.  In between all this, Republican members of Congress began to ask what was this all about?  How could some DA in New York City who doesn't seem to want to indict or try anyone, arrest, indict and try an ex-President on a now 7 year old case?  Especially when there is written court documents in which one Mickey Cohen, ex-lawyer and ex-con, the guy who paid the ex Sex Worker and aging Porn Star, that states he paid her on his own and the ex-President knew nothing about it?

All kinds of questions from this story were dancing in the heads of all concerned, like sugar plum fairies on Christmas Eve.  Would the DA indict, arrest and try the ex-President?  Would a jury convict?  If convicted, how much time would the ex-President get?  Would he be out of prison in time to run for President in 2024?  If not, could he run for President from his jail cell?  There is precedent here, as one James Traficant, ran for his Congressional seat while incarcerated at Allenwood Federal Penitentiary.  He lost.  But what would happen if the ex-President won?  What would the inauguration look like?  Cabinet meetings?  Press Conferences?  Would the nuclear football be in his prison cell?

But then Thursday came and went, and Friday and the only thing heard was the NYC DA Bragg, complaining, that how dare anyone, Congress in this case, question his Grand Jury proceedings?  Maybe this Grand Jury will indict this week or next week or the next?  Or will this will just be another pfft.

Comings And Goings

New video of the Jan 6, lollapalooza, shows 'QAnon Shaman Jacob Chansley being escorted into the House Chamber by Capitol Police.  Now, this has shocked many who probably thought he'd knocked the door down and a few Capitol Police along way, but we thought it appropriate.  We mean, if someone is going to be Speaker of The House, even if it's only for a few hours and even though he was dressed as a Viking or what he thought a Viking dressed like, the Capitol Police should show the proper respect.

And, think about this for a few minutes, at least Speaker 'QAnon Shaman Jacob Chansley did not pass any wasteful bills, dumbass regulations or add a penny to the National Debt.  He also got arrested and spent time in Jail.  If only other Speakers and other members of the House and Senate would follow suit, this on its own, would make America great again.

All things considered, we have to say that 'QAnon Shaman Jacob Chansley's reign as Speaker of The House, no matter how brief, was a success.

And, the Oscars came and went.  We didn't watch as no one here had seen any of the movies except for Elvis.  And, that was kind of a stinker unless you liked watching Tom Hanks in a fat suit for half the movie.  We hope whoever thought of that idea, never works in that town again.  The parts with Elvis in them were pretty good.  We did peruse some of the highlights from the night of glitter and gloss.  We could see a lot of tears and we weren't sure if they were tears of joy or if the movies were just so bad. 

And, it seems former President Jimmy Carter will be going soon.  We know this because current President Joe Biden went to visit Jimmy and came out saying that Jimmy asked him to do his eulogy.  Does this need a punch line?

Accentuate The Positive, Eliminate The Negative*

First up at eliminating the negative, Don Lemon.  As most of our regular readers know, we go where no one else dares to go.  So, we got an inside look at the training that Don Lemon received, before he got back on the air.  And, just in case you didn't know, Don Lemon is a Talking Head for CNN.  He's been on various CNN shows over the years and all have had terrible ratings, even by CNN standards.  In his latest recasting, he's on a morning show that no one watches but while he's there he has taken to yelling at his female co-hosts, both on and off the air.  Last week, he made a really bad faux pas and actually drew heat from all corners of the Mass Hysteria.  So, CNN sent him on a long weekend and then let it be known that he won't be back until he gets the proper training.  CNN is not going to let one of their employees mansplain and disrespect women.  Like we said, we go where all others fear to tread.  So, we hacked into his laptop and here is the training.

'I will not yell at or say nasty things about women.  

I will not yell at or say nasty things about women.  

I will not yell at or say nasty things about women.'  

We're going to cut it short here, as he has to sit in his Boss Chris Licht's office and write this 500 times a day, every day and you get the picture.

And, South Park the infamous cartoon show has viciously taken on Meghan and Harry or as we like to refer to them as Megharry.  In the spirit of Bennifer and Brangelina, other names given to star crossed media couples.  But South Park has trashed them unmercifully and there are reports that Meghan is furious and even thinking of ways to sue South Park.  But our sources tell us that Meghan and Harry sit on the couch every night and actually watch that episode over and over again with Meghan squealing.  "That's us!  That's us!  They're talking about us!"  Then they rush upstairs to the bedroom.  Sometimes they don't quite make it to the bedroom and the stairs or even a random chair will suffice.  

So, as you can see here with Megharry, sometimes what people perceive as a negative, is really a positive.

And yes that's Paige Spiranac at the top of the page.  She's a golf influencer.  As you can see, she's got a golf club in her hands.  She was a top golfer in college but she couldn't quite make it onto the LPGA tour and before any of you make snarky comments, try to realize you couldn't either.  And, that goes for you guys out there too.  Even if the LPGA gave you a shot at their tour, you wouldn't make it.  But Paige has gone on to give golf tips and be an all round influencer and social media star.  And, we added her here, so we could begin and end this article, on a positive note.

Quiz Time!

Every once in a while we like to have a quiz, just to see if everyone is paying attention.  So, here goes.

1. China sending spy balloons over the United States was a stupid thing for them to do because..

A. They already have satellites and satellites do a much better job.

B. They could have used Google Maps that already have very detailed images of the same areas.

C. There are better ways to drop off, take out menus.

D. All of the above.

E. A and B.

2. President Old Brains did not order the Communist China balloon to be shot down because.

A. He still thinks he's a Senator from Delaware and had no idea he could.

B. He was told he couldn't and thinking he was just the Vice President, he thought that made sense.

C. He thought it might hit somebody when it came down.

D. He went into the Situation Room deep in the bowels of the White House to order the balloon to be shot down but when he walked into that room, he forgot why he was there.

E.  None of the above.

F. All of the above.

3. Alex Murdaugh is on trial for

A. Absconding with Church funds.

B. He was the leader of the J6 cabal.

C. Murdering his son and wife.

D. Making balloons for Communist China.

E. All of the above.

F. None of the above.

4. Alex Murdaugh is innocent because.

A. As some Defense Attorney's have said, on the many TV shows and websites that are covering this, why would he do this?

B. He has an alibi.

C. There was no blood on his clothes.

D. He's not.  

Answers.  For every correct answer give yourself 25 points.

Question 1.  The correct answer is A and B.  If you picked C that one has been in the news a lot.  We didn't print that here as we think it's a little xenophobic but you may have read that more than once.  So, if you picked C, give yourself 5 points.  And, it's funny.

Question 2. Now this one is tough because Old Brains has referred to himself more than a few times as the Senator from Delaware and the Vice President when he is the President.  He also said recently that when they announce "The President of The United States", he looks around thinking where is that guy?  So, both A and B would be correct.  He also said C, so that would be correct.  And, he obviously has senior moments, so D could be correct.  And, the real problem is the whole decision process here, would be marked classified and all the records will be filled away for fifty years.  So, unless we can gain access to Old Brains garage or bathroom, there is no way to know which answer is correct.  So, as long as you picked an answer give yourself 25 points.  If you left this blank, go back and fill it in and give yourself 25 points.

Question 3.  The correct answer is C and if you missed this one, you must be living under a rock.

Question 4. Anytime someone says.  "Why would I do that?"  It means they did it.  So, when defense attorneys starting asking.  "Why would he do it?"  It means, they know he did it.  Alex Murdaugh's alibi is falling apart, as the trial progresses.  When you shoot someone with a rifle you're usually more than a few feet away.  That's the whole idea of using a rifle.  So, why anyone would think the shooter would have blood all over him, is a mystery.  So, the correct answer is D.  He did it.

If you got a 100, you're a winner!  We intended to send all the winners a voucher for a full tank of gas but inflation being what it is and the price of gas being what it is and the economy being what it is, we really can't afford to.  But you have our congratulations and the knowledge that you really know what's going on in this world.  Take a bow.
