I tuned in MS NOW in anticipation of seeing Stephanie Ruhle. Instead, I see what looks like an old guy arguing with the staff of his assisted living facility. The same show is on CNN. The sad thing is, it will likely be newsworthy...and I hate that!

People have not been overly kind to the "is he or isn't he?" senior Senator from Kentucky...I like to think of it as practice, or a warm up, for when "you know who" shuffles off this mortal coil.

It occurs to me, Trump doesn't really give a shit about the World Cup or the USA's participation in it. He just isn't a fan. He probably believes his mobster move, to get the FIFA mobsters to rescind the Balogun suspension, will increase his popularity. What a clueless twit!

Wow! Brazil is headed home, Norway moves on. With a few exceptions, the traditional "big names" are out of the World Cup.

I don't mind Blue Sky putting up trigger warnings...I hope they do one for any video of Joey Chestnut eating 66 Nathan's hotdogs yesterday. Gross...especially when people are starving.

So, why does the guy on the right have a bandaged head? Apparently, he bought a fife to a gunfight. (I'll see myself out...)

I usually post this every year on Facebook...but since I now spend most of my time here, I may as well subject my friends on Blue Sky to it...Happy 4th, everyone. www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZfR...

Is there a trend in menswear I'm missing? In the past week, I've seen videos of men wearing jeans with the cuffs turned up. My mom used to do that when I was a kid. There was a reporter in Boston, talking about the World Cup, and Steven Spielberg, talking about his latest movie.

I spent the better part of my afternoon, cleaning up my chat stuff, going back to late 2023! Nearly all are deleted accounts, so I can't respond to "hello, how's it going or have you heard about the Illuminati?" May I suggest, when an account is deleted, the chats are deleted as well?

8 people killed in a B-52 crash at Edwards AFB...when they start pointing fingers, will the target be Duffy, Hegseth or both?

Last night, I'm watching Chris Hayes on M SNOW, and he mentioned one of the overlooked beauties of the World Cup. It draws you in, even if you previously had no interest in the national teams. Later, I found myself glued to Iran and New Zealand! (a 2-2 draw).

So, I'm in Ivanhoe Park Lager House, on the trail, in Orlando, to watch the World Cup (USA beats Paraguay 4-1) I see someone who looks very familiar. It's Alex Vindman, who is running for the Senate from Florida. He is watching the match, with no obvious entourage. We speak, and I promise my vote.

Do you remember when the phrase "60 Minutes is waiting in the lobby" would strike fear in the hearts of corporate types? Did you ever think it would be said at CBS?

I watched this and thought, "this is how every cheesy science fiction movie begins".

You can tell a lot about a person by how they spend their Sunday Mornings. Me? I walk my black Lab while the coffee is perking, then putter around the house while listening to a radio station 1,000 miles away. Irish folk, on WFUV wfuv.org/options

Now that the Lionel-less Commodores have pulled out of Trump's "State Fair", who can they get? Maybe ELO without Jeff Lynne, Jethro Tull without Ian Anderson or "Best of the Beatles", featuring Pete Best.

I take the dog out to watch space launches, or attempted launches, whenever I remember to . The Kennedy Space Center is a about an hour the the East, and I can see the rockets as they clear the tree line...that is, IF they clear the tree line. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q7hR...

Do you think Tulsi Gabbard made any money off Kalshi, predicting when Tulsi Gabbard would leave the Trump cabinet?

I wasn't born here, but I do live in Florida...and I'm getting tired of all this guilt by association.

It's just after 11am, and I am watching the slow death of main stream media in real time. As a Congressional "shadow" hearing is happening in Palm Beach regarding the Epstein crimes, coverage is being ignored by traditional media, like CNN and MS NOW.

Sometimes you do things because your friends want you to. Going to see "The Devil Wears Prada 2" is one of those things. However, this one snuck up on me, because I really enjoyed it much more than I thought I would!

Is it time for the US to "get with the program"? Why can't we move from yards to meters, miles to kilometers or fahrenheit to celsius? The only time we are in step with the majority of the world is in food labels. We already think of fats and carbs in grams.

OK, I admit it...I'm a dog owner (a black Aussidor), but I really like the random cat pictures people post here.

Trump confuses Iran and Ukraine, so he's probably confusing the terms "86" and "deep six". His reference to "mobster talk" makes sense, as "deep six" goes back to organized crime of the 1920's. Moe Green can 86 Fredo from the casino, but only Michael can deep 6 him.

The official story of the Saturday Night shooter appears to be falling apart, in less than a week. Who did the shooting? Where did the bullets end up? And, how did the alleged shooter end up without a shirt? So-o-o-o many questions!

So I hear James Comey has been indicted for threating Trump. Why? Because, nearly a year ago, he posted a picture of seashells spelling out "86-47". A Grand Jury in North Carolina apparently considered that a death threat. Two questions; why, and why North Carolina?

Does anybody remember the Mar-a-lago speech Trump gave to oil company execs in 2024? He asked for $1 billion in contributions, promising to roll back environmental regulations, and kill Biden's tax breaks for electric vehicles. 2 years on, that billion dollar investment seems to be a bargain.

I registered for the draft when I was younger. I never understood the underlying logic. You had to register so they could find you in the event of a national emergency. But, if you didn't register, they'd find you! At the time, the Immaculate Conception seemed to make more sense.

My local Publix probably assumes they are being clever... Instead of the usual BOGO (buy one, get one) they love to tout, they are selling items at "buy two, get one free"... I'm a single person...why would I want 3 cases of Snapple?

Saddened to hear of the death of Moya Brennan, yesterday in County Donnegal. At a time when I was researching my Irish heritage, I found her band Clannad. Take a moment to look them up on Youtube. You'll find It isn't the usual Paddy's Day thing. www.irishtimes.com/culture/musi...

I don't believe Trump has ever had an original thought in his life. The phrase "drill, baby, drill" was first uttered by Michael Steel at the 2008 GOP Convention. Sarah Palin picked it up and ran with it as John McCain's running mate. Trump probably thinks he invented it.

The winner in Hungary is Peter Magyar. I collected stamps as a kid, and I remember Hungarian stamps had "Magyar Posta" on them, even during the Eastern Bloc years. It's sort of like Jacques LaFrance or Herman Von German.

I watched the @jenpsaki.bsky.social interview with John Kerry, and felt what many people now feel about Kamala Harris...that "if only" factor. The contrasts with W were bad enough in 2004, but the contrasts with Trump today (who is just 3 years younger) are staggering.

I'm sure others have thought of this, but the Bangles song, adjusted, keeps going through my mind. 🎶"...just another TACO Tuesday...fortunately."🎶

With all the talk of the 25th amendment, may I suggest a more modest proposal? Dems need to change the ineffective leadership in the House and Senate. There are certainly good people available to replace Schumer and Jeffries.

I would love to tell you what the price per gallon is, at my local Costco, but I literally couldn't get near it! I'll bet if you voted for Trump, you didn't think you'd see Carter-era gas lines, did you?

Fun fact; there are 9 casinos in Atlantic City which have NOT gone bankrupt.

@johnfugelsang.bsky.social may this Generation's Jonathan Swift, but with a knack for brevity. On Friday's @dailybeanspod.com he referred to Trumps speech this week as "Whine Kampf"...

I am expecting Trump to announce he's pardoning the Easter Bunny...

Tomorrow, the Supreme Court is addressing the concept of birthright citizenship. I hope I don't get deported to where I was born... I mean, who can afford to live in New Jersey these days?

I came home from the grocery store, and for an hour I'm humming a song I heard on the store Muzak system. In short, I've been Rickrolled by Publix.

Opening Day! When I started out in radio, I "ran the board" for the local MLB team. I've done the Reds and the Braves, watching the needles bounce and plugging in commercials during the network avails. You hate extra innings, but love a pitcher who works fast (John Smoltz, for example.)

I believe, in 10 years, benchmarks will change. In 2036 you may be saying; "Remember the Trump War?" "Can you believe we paid $7 for a gallon of gas?" "What do you think I can get for a old MAGA hat?" "You kids don't know how good you got it!" "I lived through the Trump Depression!"

It's another Tuesday, and another election here in Florida. From the Florida Phoenix. "In the Palm Beach County House District 87 race that encompasses Mar-a-Lago (and where Donald Trump voted by mail)" Such hypocrisy! The full story is here; floridaphoenix.com/2026/03/24/i...

Kat Abughazaleh lost her bid for Congress (Illinois 9). The post election autopsy has yet to be done, but the main factor seems to be the tremendous amount of money spent by outside interests. I live in Florida (making me an outside interest), but I still think she is the future.

Well, I missed the Oscars...also, the Super Bowl and that thing generally referred to as the State of the Union. Yet, I still think of myself as a well informed American. How can that be?

Among my books, is "The Peter Principle" by Lawrence J. Peter. Its basic theme is that, in a hierarchy, formerly competent people continue to be promoted to their level of incompetence. Examples are so common in the current administration, we could easily call it the "Trump Cabinet Principle".

Today, on the Daily Beans podcast, guest @johnfugelsang.bsky.social cited a study by the Manhattan Institute, showing 54% of Republicans under 50 deny the Holocaust. How would you explain the dynamics of "Hogan's Heroes" to Gen Z?

Short form sarcasm has been around for years. Has anyone ever condescendingly said to you, "OK, Boomer"? If you are a Boomer, do you remember "Thanks Obama"? Well I just paid $3.48 for a gallon of gas, at COSTCO! "Thanks, Trump". I hope that catches on.

A new cottage industry, which could make some people a lot of money, is teaching Farsi pronunciation to American TV journalists.
