Join the parade
Mandates are dropping like flies and the Pied Pipers are scrambling to get to the head of the parade. It is like being a kid again standing on the sidewalk watching an annual college homecoming parade. I knew a thing or two about baton twirling, having marched in a Tangerine Bowl parade as a younger kid in Orlando; so I was interested more in the majorettes than the drum majors. Still, those drum majors could be entertaining as they strutted down Main Street in all their finery.
It is so interesting to watch from the sidelines again as today’s drum majors prance and preen to take credit for the spectacle. Hell, they aren’t even directing the beat, but even without uniforms (at least not yet) aren’t they pretty? And so entertaining!
Klaus Schwab’s newest book, #2 in his “reset” series, has been released. It claims the experts’ triumph over a pandemic and preps us to accept their advice again as the next catastrophe heads our way. Up next, again, climate change and income inequality.
The CDC only withheld pandemic data because it could be misinterpreted by others too stupid to understand it. Now that data is starting to leak out like an overfilled tube of toothpaste. It doesn’t support the narrative the government agencies have peddled for 2 years; so it seems the skeptics (AKA “anti-vaxers” or “conspiracy theorists”) might have been on to something.
Biden may have saved the west from a Russian war by threatening to talk to Putin harshly, again - just like he stopped the virus, brought peace to Afghanistan, halted inflation last summer, solved supply chain issues (the issue was only for luxury goods, after all), emasculated our fighting forces and got home test kits out to everyone this winter. He must have been in consultation with the smartest man he knows, Hunter Biden, when he championed Build Back Better and voting rights legislation, too, but keep the faith. He has managed to get Chinese masks distributed widely now that we so badly need them and is on a moonshot to cure cancer.
Now decades of peace are over in Europe. Good old Joe, always fighting the last war. You would think the youngsters in his administration could come up with some fresh ideas. I can’t comment on the word salad defense of the administration response to Putin that VP Harris delivered over the weekend because I couldn’t follow it. However it sure looked exciting to see her strut those bi-racial XX chromosomes across Europe, didn’t it?.
