Wonderful Surpise B'Day Gift From ... MLB + Malcolm X

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

❗❗❗ 

Lock ten serious

baseball fans

in a room

and 

they will find

ten things 

  to seriously 

  disagree about

BUT

they would 

 unanimously agree

on one thing:

the Los Angeles Angels

are the worst team

in 

Major League Baseball

 

When this

stupidly/embarassingly

lifetime Angels' fell asleep

last night,

they were on the verge

of being 

on the losing end

of a no-hitter

 

BUT 

in 

the bottom

of the ninth inning, 

Zach Neto

did something

miraculous

 

The first thing

I did upon awakenng

on

Malcolm X's Birthday

was read about

the Angels'

winning that game

by a score of

2-1

 

Translating 

Zach Neto's name

into English 

is easy:

 

I hope to be traded

to a contending team

as soon as possible

On May 6, 2026, 

The Gates Of Heaven

opened beyond

magestic proportions

to admit 

TED TURNER

and every

resident 

received 

eternal 24/7 access

to everything

ever presented on 

TCM,

that 

extraordinary

source

of 

cinematic 

appreciation

  

I may be

a blog-o-spheric

but 

Mr. Turner

is genuinely

"Godfather of Cable TV" 

  

Thank You For Existing, Mr. Turner

LEBRON ... I Wish This Page Wasn't Necessary

A

for Governor

actually said 

these words:

 

≈ I will get corporate money ≈

≈ out of politics ≈ 

 

And nobody

flinched

The odds

of that 

really happening

are equal to

the odds of

Letter To LeBRON JAMES ... #857142

________________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

LeBron

 

You 

do not need to

play basketball

next year

nor 

do you need

to retire

 

What you need

is 

a career change:

 

Announce 

your candidacy

as 

Governor of California,

and 

the job is yours

without doing

anything else:

 

The competition

is a bunch of

mealy-mouths

with 

good acting lessons

and empty

promises

*** 

 

As America celebrates 

its 250th birthday,

There is no American

with 

as many accomplishments

as

the athlete

who holds more records 

than

a Wurlitzer jukebox

 

That person is

YOU  

 

Or 

if you decide

Presidency 

  is a better goal...

 

If you were  

face-to-face

with Mr T,

Trump would 

 run

for the nearest table 

he could hide under

Why ALL Blogs Suck Wind ... Worthlessly

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

 

 

Bloggers 

put their

hearts and souls

into what they write

and the feeling

—after doing so—

is 

immensely satisfying

 

We want to believe

that what we write

will be shared

by 

millions of people

but that is

pure delusion

because 

blogging is the protozoa

of social media

interactions

and

podcasting 

is

King of the Forest

 

Podcasts include

hosts and guests

with one of them

being funnier

or 

more profound

or

more relevant

than

  the other

 

In other words,

all of the 

thinking and doing

is therein

accomplished

and all the viewer

has to do

is

view

 

Mentally,

that is a delicious

piece of cake

and nobody

doesn't love

cake

 

As opposed to

the protozoan

blogger

who is giving you

food for thought

which need not be

bought

when you have

a mouthful

of cake

 

That will not

stop us

from blogging

because

the podcasters 

eventually 

need

somewhere

to steal

their 

ideas 

from
