Thursday Thrills

Over at Small Dead Animals, Kate McMillan talks about the importants of mischief. To that end we've taken to the FB page of NJ.com, a perfectly middlebrow, left leaning New Jersey news website. We strongly recommend it. Every time there's a story about teachers not wanting to go back to work we leave our pithy comments and watch it burn. 'We won't work! We won't work!' Always the teachers swarm and always they lecture us on the need for safety and bitch about how hard their jobs are. Always. Is it trolling? Probably. But mischief is important.*

So we had the GameStop stock short thing explained to us multiple times, sometimes with puppets, and think we understand what happened. 'Nerds on Reddit with a vendetta' cost a hedge fund billions. Good good for them. Big tech has moved in, the FEC is interested and the media is already comparing these guys to alt-right white nationalists. Whatever. We can't believe short selling is legal. The system will and already is, crushing these people.

We continue to make reference to the Wyoming war profiteer's daughter, something we would never have done even five years ago. Does this mean our thinking on W, the GOP, Iraq, etc etc has changed. When one reads about Liz Cheney working with Dems to keep our troops in Afghanistan....Man, we don't know anymore.

We went for a two mile walk  in some seriously cold Yankee Winter weather this morning.  Twice a week we workout with weights and tension bands. We continue to gain weight while thinning out. In fact this may be the most successful weight lifting program of our life. The walks are working real good too. 

*Also, every time there's a story about the Capitol Hill riots we say, 'It was mostly peaceful'. This usually makes heads explode. As Col Schlichter says, you have to own the libs.
