It’s impossible to debate a non-stop liar. There are no good outcomes.

The Orioles have done a great job drafting position players
Sure, I’ll admit they tanked to get high draft picks. But that doesn’t mean you will hit with those picks. The Orioles have done an outstanding job of drafting. They were second-guessed on Holliday – most people (me included) would have taken Druw Jones who is in A ball now. Kjerstad and Cowser were not consensus picks either.
Thread on Orioles top prospects in 2021 and where they are now:
Tweet on where to watch Star Trek
I was not a Star Trek fan back in the 1960s when it was on TV. I did watch the three movies that were made in the 2010s.
Then I bought the box set of the first 10 Star Trek films.
Since then I have watched discs of the recent Star Trek TV shows
From best to worst:
The first two seasons of Strange New Worlds – excellent
The first four seasons of Discovery – very good
The three seasons of Picard – ok
Covers: Liar, Liar
“Liar, Liar” is a great piece of garage rock from 1965.
Covers: I Believe to My Soul
“I Believe to My Soul” is a1959 Ray Charles song. I read that he did the backing vocals after he was dissatisfied with the Raelettes attempt. I know the Van Morrison 1974 cover version best.
The first McDonald’s TV commercial 1963

Covers: You Can’t Always Get What You Want
The great 1969 Rolling Stones song “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” was the B-side of the “Honky Tonk Women” single before it was the last track on the album Let It Bleed.
I found out today from this Instagram post about the cover – full version in the YouTube video below.
There is no non-citizen voter fraud problem
It’s another Republican lie.
John Bobbitt is back in the news
Anyone who was around in 1993 remembers the Bobbitts. See the YouTube video below if you don’t know this incredibly bizarre story. Now John Bobbit is back.
The best Bobbitt joke I remember was:
Q: What did Jeffrey Dahmer say to Lorena Bobbitt?
A: Are you going to eat that.
I remember watching CNN during a week when President Clinton was attending an economic summit in Europe. CNN led the broadcast with a routine day in the Bobbitt trial instead of the much more important summit. I thought “What does the rest of the world think of our priorities?”
Sad!
