I am here in my office nestled between two stadiums at 0500 hrs to ironically deliver the news and commentary that one of you should be doing. Let’s get started, shall we? I have more important shit to do. But first, I have a comment on the image posted above of Biden being a “Trader”.
Forget the message — I’ve seen stupid shit like this on both sides. My question is: What kind of idiot drives around a vehicle with shit like this plastered all over it?
Headlines That Caught My Eye This Morning
Item 1: Donald Trump Blames AI for Making Him ‘Look Bad’
Trump makes Trump look bad. All this time I thought the Republican Party was all about personal responsibility. Not in Trump World. Nothing is ever Donald Trump’s fault.
Item 2: Detroit is close to recording its fewest homicides in nearly 60 years
Probably because everyone either moved away or was already murdered…
There are other cities in this country with a higher murder rate than both Chicago or Detroit.
Item 3: Trump is selling $35 Christmas wrapping paper emblazoned with his mug shot
Nothing says Christmas like wrapping paper with Donald Trump’s mug shot on it.
Item 4: Democrats working on resolution condemning Hamas’ use of sexual violence
Other than virtue signaling, what exactly is this supposed to accomplish? Is Hamas suddenly going to step forward and say, “our bad”, or something?
Item 5: Members of Texas Republican party free to associate with Nazi sympathizers
Well, if they didn’t allow members to associate with Nazi sympathizers, there wouldn’t be anyone left in the party…
Item 6: FOX Startes to fact-check Donald Trump
To say that it is about time would be an understatement. But then, I suppose a $700 million verdict against you with another $1.2 billion case still pending against them might have caused them to wake the fuck up.
Item 7: Gold bars found in Sen. Bob Menendez’s home linked to 2013 armed robbery
This is a complete lack of shame. An incapacity of feeling shame, even. There seems to be a culture of this, and it isn’t exclusive to just one party. It’s pervasive across the political spectrum.
Item 8: Rep. Jamaal Bowman gets Democratic primary challenger
Good for him! Too bad EVERY Congresscritter doesn’t get a credible primary challenger each and every time. There should never be any ‘safe seats’ in Congress. That bowl needs to be flushed more frequently.
What the Fuck Did I Just Watch?

Dial Drunk
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JZ9NavfzLvE[/embedyt]
I’m rememberin’ I promised to forget you now
But it’s rainin’ and I’m callin’ drunk
And my medicine is drownin’ your perspective out
So I ain’t taking any fault
Am I honest still? Am I half the man I used to be?
I doubt it, forget about it, whatever
And the dial tone is all I haveI ain’t proud of all the punches that I’ve thrown
In the name of someone I no longer know
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
I don’t like that when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk, I’ll die for you
I’ll dieDrinks pourin’, couldn’t stop it
Turn another slow dance into a mosh pit
Tuck my head, then I heard the lock, and
Told them that my first car was a Crown Vic
Talkin’ ’bout last time I was in the back of a cop car, I fell in love
And my face on the cold window try to sober back up and loosen my cuffs
And it’s all the same anywayMm, I ain’t proud of all the punches that I’ve thrown
In the name of someone I no longer know
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio
I don’t like that when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk, I’d die for you
Well, I’d die for youI beg you, sir, just let me call
I’ll give you my blood alcohol
I’ll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
I’ll change my faith, I’ll praise the flag
Let’s wait, I swear she’ll call me back
Oh, son, are you a danger to yourself?
Well, fuck that sir, just let me call
I’ll give you my blood alcohol (Ooh)
I’ll rot with all the burnouts in the cell
I’ll change my faith, I’ll kiss the badge
Let’s wait, I swear she’ll call me back (Ooh)
Son, why do you do this to yourself?
And I said“I ain’t proud of all the punches that I’ve thrown, ah
In the name of someone I no longer know (I no longer know)
For the shame of being young, drunk, and alone
Traffic lights and a transmitter radio, ah
I don’t like that when they threw me in the car
I gave your name as my emergency phone call
Honey, it rang and rang, even the cops thought you were wrong for hanging up
I dial drunk, I’ll die a drunk, I’d die for you”
Stick Season
[embedyt] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I3dUY_fz-0Q[/embedyt]
As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined
You must have had yourself a change of heart like halfway through the drive
Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign
Kept on driving straight and left our future to the rightNow I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can’t face
And memories are something even smoking weed does not replace
And I am terrified of weather ’cause I see you when it rains
And doc told me to travel but there’s COVID on the planesAnd I
, love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
And I, saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
And it’s, half my fault but I just like to play the victim
I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas
And I’ll, dream each night of some version of you
That I, might not have but I did not lose
Now you’re tire tracks and one pair of shoes
And I’m split in half but that’ll have to doSo I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad
That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad
No and I’m no longer funny but I miss the way you laugh
You once called me forever now you still can’t call me backAnd I, love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
And I, saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
And it’s half my fault but I just like to play the victim
I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas
And I’ll, dream each night of some version of you
That I, might not have but I did not lose
Now you’re tire tracks and one pair of shoes
And I’m split in half but that’ll have to doOh that’ll have to do
My other half was you
I hope this pain’s just passing through
But I doubt itAnd I, love Vermont, but it’s the season of the sticks
And I, saw your mom, she forgot that I existed
And it’s half my fault but I just like to play the victim
I’ll drink alcohol ’til my friends come home for Christmas
And I’ll, dream each night of some version of you
That I, might not have but I did not lose
Now you’re tire tracks and one pair of shoes
And I’m split in half but that’ll have to do
Have to do

A suggestion. The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District, which replaced the Reedy Creek Improvement District in Florida released the results of an audit into the RCID.
Now the RCID was set up so that Disney could build out the Disney world site. When they got into a fight with DeSantis, the state revoked RDIC and replaced it with The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.
Disney is suing over this, basically trying to get the RCID reinstated. (They have no chance) The Audit apparently shows why Disney is so hellbent to shut down The Central Florida Tourism Oversight District.
Disney was using the district to get around any laws that interfered with them, and may have used taxpayer funds for corporate interests.
So it looks like securities fraud, bribery, extortion, tax evasion and a whole host of other things. The short version is that this could put Bob Iger, the Disney board, current and past, along with a lot of the C Suite into prison going back to Eisner.
Some youtube stuff from a lawyer who is actually a specialist in florida district law.

And a long, (Three hours) review of the audit report from the same lawyer.
Welcome to capitalism and corporate interests. Up until about five years ago, Republicans used to be all about that. Disney, as a corporation, was about as Conservative as you could get when it came to gaming the system.
Sure, the public persona was a company that catered to diversity — it had to because it brought more butts to their venues, and more butts in theater seats. But when it comes to actual business practices, it’s about as ruthless of a Republican/Capitalist organization can be.
I think you would find that if you focused this same attention to any other Top-500 company, the results would be pretty much the same.
How many state, county, or city governments have made sweetheart deals to either attract or placate large corporations to operate in their jurisdictions. A prime example is how both Boeing and Amazon have made tax-free deals with the state of Washington and other local governments. We have two fucking stadiums that I am currently sitting between that were turned down several times by the voters but pushed through anyways by the billionaires of MicroShaft. (MicroShaft isn’t on the hook for those stadiums, the TAXPAYERS are. It was yet another deal that our local and state governments made with Microshaft to remain in the area.
If you take away the political bullshit that surrounds the Disney thing in Floriduh, you would end up with exactly the same types of shit that you would find with almost every company of Disney’s stature.
In Disney’s defense here, Disneyworld would not have existed without the RCID. Floriduh would still be a swamp, and about as poor as Arkansas. It wouldn’t be a ‘destination spot’ that it is right now.
