Hey Everyone!
This past Friday was Veterans Day. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank all of those who served our nation. My favorite Vet was honored at his church on Sunday, this placard was put up in the vestibule along with those other members who served in the military.
I say it every year..I was blessed to have two grandfathers who fought for America in WWII. My son is lucky to have both of his serve in Vietnam. We owe these brave men and women so much. One of the ways we show our gratitude is exercising our duty to vote.
And that is where we will start …
POLITICS: Election Day Round-up.
When I signed into my Facebook on Wednesday morning before heading to work, I saw that I was being called a whole bunch of names. Dope, idiot, dumb mofo, disgrace, etc.
With friends like these, right?
Alas, these folks weren't necessarily calling me out by name per se, they didn't mention me at all in fact. However, these were the names they were calling those who voted for a particular candidate, or more to the point didn't vote for a particular candidate.
And well, I did not in fact vote for who they wanted me to vote for, ergo, I was the idiot dope disgrace they were talking about.
I stuck to my promise not to vote for anyone who supported Captain Orange's ridiculous claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him. So that eliminated Lee Zeldin as one of my choices for governor.
Zeldin voted to overturn the election results in both Arizona and Pennsylvania, and this was after the terrorist attack on January 6, 2021. I wouldn't have voted him dogcatcher. I joined the rest of the Hochul Yokels and gave NY it's first duly elected female governor.
Now, if it makes my friends on the right feel better, most of the other folks I voted for lost. Also it looks like the GOP is still going to take over the House, but not nearly as much as some were predicting.
But to me the biggest and most hopeful story coming out of last Tuesday is that the Republicans seem to be looking to get away from Trump, perhaps looking towards someone else down in Florida to be the party's torchbearer. Especially after Dr. Oz', and the aforementioned Zeldin and a few others lost. I saw Orange in a interview with News Nation say in regards to candidates he endorsed.. "Well, I think if they win I should get all the credit and if they lose I should not be blamed at all." If Alec Baldwin went on SNL as Trump as said that line in a skit, Trump supporters would be up in arms, saying that they were trying to make Trump look foolish. You still think this guy gives a $h-t about anybody but himself? C'mon!
The Democrats will retain control of the Senate, as the race in Nevada was called for Democrat Catherine Cortez Masto. They could make it 51-49. Georgia is heading to a runoff between incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock, and former football star Herschel Walker. Walker at one of his rallies, said he would put his resume up against Barack Obama's, and I have to admit he may be onto something here. The first time I ever watched the Heisman Trophy Presentation, it was the year Herschel Walker won it. To my knowledge, Obama never won the Heisman, so there's that. Otherwise, in Walker, we have a pro life candidate who paid for abortions, a family values candidate who has kids he doesn't support, and a law and order candidate who I'm sure had no issues with people storming the Capitol on January 6th.
You want to know why I don't vote Republican anymore? Start there.
SCAMS: $2 billion Powerball Winner..
I had a book as a kid called Aesop's Fables, a whole bunch of short stories with a lesson at the end. One of my favorites was The Fox and the Grapes, where a fox keeps trying to get grapes hanging from a tree. He runs and jumps but to no avail. Finally, he walks away figuring to himself, those grapes were probably sour anyway. (hence the term, sour grapes) The lesson at the end of the fable? Any fool can despise what he cannot get.
Well, like the rest of us, I didn't win the Powerball last week. And while this fool won't sit here and talk about how he didn't need all that $$ anyway, I will ask this.. am I the only person who thinks this whole thing stinks like yesterday's trash?
First of all, they were supposed to do the drawing at 10:59 PM EST on Monday, but because of a "glitch", the actual numbers weren't drawn till Tuesday morning, (while many of us were heading to the polls).
And when they were drawn, of course, it was one winner. All those tickets sold, all that money, and one person won it?
Just about every time there is a jackpot in excess of $500 million, one or two winning tickets are sold. That can't be a coincidence.
Now back to the glitch for a minute, according to the Post, there was an issue with the verification process in Minnesota. They want to stick to that story, by all means. My guess is that they were checking their computers to see what combination of numbers were only produced once. And that took longer than expected. Hence the delay.
And technically I guess there's nothing wrong with that, but the lottery I thought was designed that the numbers would be totally random. I just don't think that is what's happening. I think someone or some people know what numbers to draw.
Can I prove any of this? No. I just can't believe that almost without fail one person wins these huge jackpots.
LAWSUITS: Man or Machine?
In the category of rich people problems, a 68 year old former model is suing her ex boyfriend for harassment, defamation and inducement. But the complaint that sticks out is that she claims her former lover demanded sex up to 10 times a day!! Oh, and BTW the former beau is 84 years young.
Plaintiff was to be 100% his caregiver. He meant for plaintiff to be available for
all his sexual needs, to be his escort, do his laundry, cook his meals. (It turned out to mean
sexual intercourse, at times up to 10 times a day),” the suit says.
She actually put that in the complaint!
I mean, how does this get handled in court? I think if I'm the plaintiff counsel or the defendant counsel, shoot even if I'm the judge, my first question to the defendant is "10 times a day at 84 years old? How?"
The plaintiff is Janet Bedin. It doesn't say in the lawsuit that he made her change her name to Inbed. (seewhatididthere?) The defendant, who might want to consider taking this act on the road, is Vito (the libido) Verni.
I'm going to guess that Verni will plead not guilty to all the allegations against him, except for the part where she says he can do the Wild Thing 10 times a day. At least that's how I would have my peoples answer the complaint.
On November 13, Felix Unger was asked to remove himself from his place of residence.
That request came from his wife.
When Karl (the Ace) Ludwig and I worked together for a spell, we turned 11/13 into an office holiday. So I figured I'd bring this classic out of mothballs for a few laughs. Especially after the Election cycle we just went through.
Hope this gave you a chuckle.
Stay Safe
and Have a Great Week
