There Comes A Time
The headline for today...is that the Senate finally voted on trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill'...with the narrow 51-49 passage...the republican holdouts did get swayed, er, bullied into voting for it...surprise surprise surprise...with 5 major alterations, to appease the holdouts...duh...yes, it was going to pass, eventually...they have the votes...some, were hesitant, even though that meant a permanent ban from the Grand Poopah...guess they must have got some words from their 'constituents'...right...once in the Senate, they follow the block voting...'we will do what's right for you'...lordy...
Have YOU read the 940 pages of it?...sneak this in, sneak that in...yatta yatta yatta...what I saw, was a cut in Medicaid...a substantial amount...a huge, make that HUGE, sum for Icetapo...dramatic tax breaks for the rich, fat, cats...all the while, trump golfs...at our expense...
What's this, day 158 of his regime?...3 1/2 years of painting the ugliest picture that this country has ever seen...will take that long to erase the nonsense, when the Demos take the country back over...perhaps, we should start right now...get our ducks in line...and start promoting them...

You know what a 'flapper' is?....some of you elders, and maybe smartees, will say, that this refers to the ladies of the 20's...er, 1920's...well, here in the present and now...I am referring to the rubber thang in the toilet bowl...we have had a monster of a time, trying to replace a withered, old one of ours...thrice, returned, and now...we have a new, plastic aided 'flapper' that finally works...and does replace the original...hey, for all of you...the mechanism that controls the toilet, is simply amazing...and has stood the test of time...no modernization of this jewel...you'd think there would be...

Just read about a Neil Young concert in England...Old England, not New England...and the reviews were not good for the old, old boy...bad sound, bad stage presence, and bad set of songs...hmmm, the same here at the Shell some time back...boo, dude...get your act together...as he bellowed out to a LA attendee in the City of Angels, complaining out loud at his set, to Neil...Young responded with...Go to Hell!'...time to walk out of that place...

Guess I was too harsh on the Friars...a convincing win in Cincy yesterday....6-4...listen brass...switch the order of relievers...put Suarez as the 7th inning bloke, and Morejon as the closer...I know they read my blog, so just try it, Mgr...Shildt...try it...today a 10:40 tip off in Ohio...weather permitting...

I can't undersell this...'Mindhunter'...on Netflix...two seasons...it is riveting...stay with it, in the very first episode...we almost did not...it's CRAZY good...makes YOURS and MINE, minds... hunt for clues...the actors are dudes, and dudettes, you probably have no idea who they are...but, you will recognize the names of the hunted...mind hunted...
