Truths, IMHO: an Oxymoron?

  1. President Drumpf is a nasty human being and a person of highly questionable mental health.
  2. Benjamin Netanyahu is a nasty human being and a person of highly questionable mental health.
  3. Vladimir Putin is a nasty human being and a person of highly questionable mental health.

That about says it all, I think.

I know some people don’t agree with me. I can name three: Donald Drumpf, Bennie Netanyahu, and Vladdie Putin.

One thing I have been thinking about: What is the biggest difference between the Gestapo and ICE. Is it that the Gestapo spoke German? (Is that a bad joke, or is it a serious question?)

Now, what else is interesting me? Here are a few things:

  1. The Nationals brought up a new relief pitcher yesterday named Konner Pilkington. I had never heard of him until yesterday, so I Googled him. Here are the minor league teams he has been on: Arizona League White Sox, Great Falls Voyagers, Kannapolis Intimidators, Winston-Salem Dash, Birmingham Barons, Akron Rubber Ducks, Columbus Clippers, Reno Aces, and the Rochester Red Wings. He did not play on the Vermont Lake Monsters,  Montgomery Biscuits, Ft. Wayne Tin Caps, Savannah Sand Gnats, Omaha Storm Chasers, Bowling Green Hot Rods, colorado Springs Sky Sox, Richmond Flying Squirrels, Toledo Mud Hens, Albuquerque Isotopes, Macon Bacon, or Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs. If you have heard of none of these teams, you are not alone. If you have heard of most of these teams, you need to get a life.
  2. I learned about a comedian that I had never known before. Very clever named Brian Kiley. He is in his early 60s and has been a comedy show writer for years. He is tall and bald, and has a friendly, relaxed, and perfectly timed delivery. Let’s see how this goes with no delivery (and my paraphrasing).

A. I come from Boston, but now live in L.A. But I was back in Boston last week and decided to go back to my old neighborhood, my old house, the one I grew up in. I wanted to see what it looked like now, so I rang the door bell, hoping it would be okay if I snooped around. The door opened and my parents said it would be fine.

B. I decided we should fire the pool boy and told my wife. She objected. Her argument was that he just intimidated me with his youthful virility, while I was clearly over the hill. My argument was that we don’t have a pool.

C. I am a very happily married man. I feel very lucky, because 1/2 of married Americans are unhappily married. I know that statistic, because it was the result of a poll I took at my house this morning.

That’s all for today, Doc.
