From a dream

This morning I woke up for the second time from a dream of having been kidnapped for a live TV reality show. I have never before had the same dream more than once.

From a web site I read every day


‘The Brits Almost – Almost – Got to Drop the Bomb, But …’

“The British Black Lancaster bomber might have been designated to carry the bomb to Hiroshima on 6th August 1945, but it was too slow and did not have the weight load capacity that our silver B-29 bombers had.


My response:

“So the Lancaster ‘might’ have carried the American bombs, but it was too slow and didn’t have the load capacity of a B-29. And why should the US have considered the Lancaster to carry the US bomb? Just a guess, but I would say the Brits would have found a reason not to drop the bomb.

Uh, how’s that again?


A major league baseball announcer tonight in the Giants-Dodgers mentioned San Francisco infielder Mauricio Andre Dubon as being from Honduras.

“There have not been many major league players born and raised in Honduras,” the announcer said. “In fact, Dubon is the only one.”

The announcer is in the same "Do what?" league as another play caller several years ago, who announced, “With two outs, the Astros infielders are playing back for the double play.”

Manhattan, boarded up


From the video:

“They’re afraid. This was not riots.”

No, but the owners were afraid of the riots. The buildings are intact, occupied by businesses, but for how long? When a business doesn’t sell anything, how does it pay rent?

Every day we see the results of rioting and burning, but no one shows the clean, empty streets and plywood covering Manhattan store windows.


Gov. Cuomo:  “I literally talk to people all day long who are in their Hamptons house who also lived here, or in their Hudson Valley house or in their Connecticut weekend house, and I say, ‘You gotta come back, when are you coming back?’
“‘We’ll go to dinner, I’ll buy you a drink. Come over, I’ll cook.’”
And he admits: “A single per cent of New York’s population pays half of the state’s taxes and they’re the most mobile people on the globe.”

The famous 1 percent. That group Occupy Wall Street demanded pay more and more of public programs. You don’t remember Occupy Wall Street? Then you do not understand why we have riots and looting now.

Ms. Winfrey, white people made you a billionaire

Anybody who ever watched 10 seconds of her TV show knows 95 percent of her audience were white women.
