After watching a common house fly become famous world wide, it's time to empty the gunny sack of facts, figures and opinions once again.
The week became even better with all the cartoons and memes that popped up within 24 hours. Pence, who will never have the nickname of "Mr. Excitement" will now go down in history. Your grandchildren will be shown this video in history or civics classes.

I touched briefly on this last time but FARGO is a great watch this season. Taking place in 1950 Kansas City, it pits the black mafia against the Italian boys for control of the vices that infest this cow town. The clothes are great and the cars?? wow. Other than one technical slip-up when a radio is broadcasting a baseball game just before Thanksgiving, this FX series is well worth your time. Sundays at 9 and reruns are available at ON DEMAND.

I realize he was medically cleared this weekend but would someone please explain why his doctors won't state when trump's last NEGATIVE covid test was? Trump is planning parties and receptions and does NOT plan to wear a mask. He also says that covid is coming to an end but EVERY doctor interviewed disagrees with him because the virus has been rising for the last 3 weeks. He just doesn't get it. now or ever.

I went 160 miles north into Wisconsin over the weekend and saw minimal trump signs in farmer country. Four years ago, i took a similar ride and there was non-stop trump signs. Discuss.

I think debates are a waste of time unless you have a neutral 'fact-checker' on site who can refute any lie that is thrown out during the discussions. I say blue and then you say red but only one of us can be correct, right? How much fun would that be if the professional fact checker raised a "BULLSHIT" flag EVERY time a candidate lied and then we got to watch him walk his statement backwards spittin' & stammerin' the entire time. I think Americans would like to know who the liars are.
Also, all microphones other than the person answering the question should BE MUTED until the speaker has used up the two minutes. In addition, microphones should be cut off at the two minute mark after the speaker is advised that only 15 seconds are left in their time.

Almost everyone watches the Bears if it's a prime time game and it was no different Thursday night and the reaction after they beat Tom Brady (for the first time ever) was basically, "I don't know how they did it but we'll take the win." I say again....the worst 4-1 team in the HISTORY of the NFL. The waters get much deeper in the coming weeks.
*******
R.I.P. to rock superstar EDDIE VAN HALEN, who was the fastest guitarist on the planet and you have to google his almost two minute riff from the song 'Eruption' to appreciate the master. I'm not a fan of heavy metal but his "Jump" was a fun song and if you've ever attended a Wisconsin Badger football game, you heard that song at the end of every third quarter.

The backlog of criminal cases in Cook County is embarrassing. It is common practice for a defense attorney to request a continuance in hopes of witnesses dying, moving away or changing their minds and dropping the complaint. IT'S THE DUTY OF THE JUDGE to not let that happen but the average murder case gets 65 continuances.
One judge, Joseph Clapps has granted 180 continuances in a SINGLE murder case with two defendants, who have been in cook county jail since 2011!!! And the cost to taxpayers is $190 PER DAY for each inmate. So each defendant in the murder case has cost the county about $625,000.00 and there is no end in sight.
Chief Judge Leroy Martin must be held accountable for not re-assigning judges who constantly slow down the legal process.
*******
R.I.P. to MARGARET NOLAN. name not familiar? She was the beauty who got painted gold in Goldfinger for helping 007 catch the bad guy cheating at cards.
*******
Mattress sales are wayyyyyyyyyyyy up since people have had to stay at home and actually spend time together. your thoughts on that?? ......................
*******
Make no mistake about it. The PROUD BOYS and the WOLVERINE WATCHMEN are far right supporters of trump who believe violence is the answer to everything and the WW states there will be a civil war if trump loses. The WW are the ones recently arrested for plotting to kidnap the Democratic governor of Michigan.
*******
The doctors say to treat subway cars as covid hot zones and to avoid them at all costs. How in the world do New Yorkers handle going to work every day? prior to covid, 4 MILLION people rode the subway every day and now it's still 1.7 daily because there is no parking in manhattan which is why the subway is crucial. talk about being screwed.
*******
Finally, it looks like the weather will remain seasonal and mostly dry until the middle of November when the bottom is scheduled to fall out. I'm pretty sure we won't have to shovel 6" of snow on Halloween like we did last year so open the windows and enjoy the fresh air while you sleep.
*******
Just 22 days left. VOTE RESPONSIBLY. adios for now.
