Some real stuff of interest or not


Infusion #16 was yesterday so you don’t know what you’ll get for the next day or so – probably an improvement.

Ukraine
Well, what to make of Wile E. Coyote’s new Acme trap for PDJT.  Apparently, whatever pressure PDJT was trying to put on the Ukrainians it wasn’t felt. If PDJT pressure wasn’t felt by target, he wasn’t trying to pressure them or they’d be whining about the bone crushing pressure.

So if there is no victim, is there a crime?  If Jussie Smollett didn’t file charges against the people he paid to beat him up and bleach him white would there have been a crime?

Vaping “epidemic”
Epidemics are generally judged by the number of fatalities.  The vaping “epidemic” is being judged by the number of people sickened.  How do 8 deaths and 500 sickened due to vaping compare to real epidemics?  In the 1850s over a million Russian souls were lost to a cholera outbreak.  In 1960 another million were lost world-wide to the Hong Kong flu. 

Also most epidemics strike unsuspecting victims not people choosing to engage in risky behavior. So vaping illnesses are something, but by numbers and behavior I’m not certain “epidemic” is the right word.

Today’s is one hit wonder day.  My fav is Rocky Burnett’s “Tired of towing the line.” Liked it so much I bought the same glasses and jacket Rocky wore in the video.  Still have ‘em.  Just kidding. Or am I?
