And since we're hobbled and less able to get up and get a glass of water we are now being attacked by, you guessed it, gout. Mother!@#$%! Needless to say, we're in a very humanistic mood. We've made a doctor's appointment. Mother!@#$%!
Aside from catching a few innings of Mrs. Stroock's Phillies at night, we don't watch baseball anymore. But we understand the Yankees are 60-61 and in last place. The last time that happened we were a junior in high school. Related, 'Ex-Yankees prospect from N.J.: Brian Cashman is running a ‘dumb’ organization.' They're relying on 'analytics'. JFC. You wanna win baseball games? On the mound you get the first strike, get the first batter*, work fast, throw strikes. At the plate you work the count, make productive outs, advance the runner. Pitching and defense win championships. And remember, Mr. Moneyball Billy Beane ain't won nuthin'.
At Powerline John Hinderaker talks about getting hate mail from a deranged anti-Trumper. Is there any other kind? As sick as we are of Trump, we're even sicker of the left's anti-Trump drama. What would these people do without Donald Trump? They want Trump on that wall, they need Trump on that wall. When he goes away, they'll be devastated.
So Bradley Cooper wears a prosthetic nose in his Leonard Bernstein movie, Maestro. Because we all know Jews are underrepresented in Hollywood, some are calling this Jew Face. Are these critics serious? These critics are serious? These critics are retarded.
Israel Radar comes to more or less the same conclusion we've come to. 'Who will win the next #Lebanon war? Not Hezbollah. What changed since the 2006 war? Hezbollah got stronger, #Israel got much stronger.' Iron Dome, David's Sling, Trophy drones, quantum computing. Many Arabs will die, and Lebanon will be devastated, to satisfy the Persian bloodlust for Israel.
Freddie DeBoer has an interesting piece on Friends and why it's so 'uncool'. Uncool it was. Uncool it is. We liked it for a few seasons but got bored. The episodes saw the same recycled stories and jokes over and over again. DeBoer points out that Friends was in the 90s but not really of the 90s. No one's going to see off color clothes, shows shot in green and gray color schemes, or retro-post war middlebrow cool. Friends doesn't look like Fight Club or Men in Black. Friends just was. We always thought of Friends as the Brady Bunch of the 90s. Which makes perfect sense. And that stupid song...
*That's what Tom Seaver said but what the hell did he know about pitching?
