I’ve never seen a person winning a fight say, “Let’s tone down the rhetoric.” Usually, the guy that is getting the crap kicked out of him, or his friends, say, “woah… let’s talk about this.” You equate that to whatever current event you like.
I only know this because I have been in a few situations where I nearly begged to “talk this out like adults.” That is code for “quit kicking the crap out of me.”
I suppose the Warren Commission will eventually come out with a finding on whether former President Trump was hit by a bullet or glass from his teleprompter. Probably conclude it was a bullet from Dealey Plaza. Probably same gun Lee Harvey used, or some crazy theory. That’ll cost us a couple million or so. Where is Oliver Stone when we need him?
I’m trying to coast through a few summer columns, and we got news everywhere getting in the way. My new favorite Facebook ads are Platte County jail ads. The sadness of the public officials on the ads is very thick in these productions. It’s like they’re personally doing hard time in the rusty vent jail. It’s like a mini version of Locked Up Abroad. But if you want pure entertainment, go read the public comments because there is some serious jail math being put out in response to some of these ads and it is hilarious.
Chiefs football starts this week, so we can at least get back to concentrating on the important things in life. I have been a little worried about Patrick. Does anyone know if the vents at the Missouri Western dorms are rusty? Hate to see him have to endure that kind of pain, I’ve seen the sadness it creates.
I am very confused by the advertising by Missouri Treasurer Vivek Malek for reelection. Dude seems like a good guy, came from nothing, and built a successful small business, but why is the Treasurer worried about the border wall? I just don’t see the connection. His bio touts his membership in the NRA and his pro-life stance. Does the Treasurer have some type of abortion authority in Missouri that I am unaware of? Seems like that would be a bit unique.
In my mind, a good Treasurer is some nerdy dude with a sharp pencil and some ledger pads, right? I guess I’m just stereotyping at this point. Gun toting, abortion stopping, immigrant booting Treasurers are the new thing, plan accordingly.
Oliver Stone is 77 years old by the way. I suppose he’s probably going to run for President in a few years.
Platte County Fair kicks off next week. This is my annual reminder that after my kid lost a baby contest 34 years ago, I never attended one of those things again. I also once dressed a pig in panties and a shirt at a county fair and I’ve never done that again either. I lost that event as well. The Platte County Fair has cornhole and a queen contest, not together, I doubt I stand a chance in either of those. Might find me a Demo Car and try my luck in that deal.
Anyway, get out to the fair and grab some fried food and a bit of sunshine.
