Welcome to the World Handball Championship between Norway and Denmark. It’s the 2019 Match from about 11 months ago but I expect we’ll be getting way older and more obscure. In the United States most people think of “Handball” as a Jai Lai like game between two players bouncing a Ball off a Wall trying …

Borders
Being a Nutmegger makes me a pariah now. Can’t go to World Headquarters, that’s in NYC. Can’t go to North Lake or By The Sea either, except I can just get in the car and drive and if you’re canny enough to avoid Tolls and DUI Checkpoints or even have a fair to moderate excuse …

Natural Selection
I think a nice selective plague to cull the herd is exactly what the situation requires. Thanos is egalitarian, but indiscriminate. So, what about Dolphins? I mean, at The Snap it wasn’t just Humans. What about Ants?

Who wants to travel anyway?
I mean, I don’t mind being kicked out of The Villages (a geriatric sex club) because I’d never go there. If I can’t get out to the Store I’ll starve to death, not to mention my meds. Here are a bunch of places you won’t miss-

Some Ads
Make no mistake, Priorities USA is the Joe Biden Super Pac. Here’s the one that’s causing the Prior Restraint controversy. That was released 4 days ago along with these 3 others- And this a mere 4 hours ago- I don’t post them because we’re paid. We don’t do Ads nor do we solicit Donations.

What’s that German word for taking joy in the misery of others? Schadenfreude? This is what “Herd Immunity” gets you- Boris Johnson and Matt Hancock in self-isolation with coronavirus by Kate Proctor and Matthew Weaver, The Guardian Fri 27 Mar 2020 Boris Johnson and the health secretary, Matt Hancock, have tested positive for coronavirus, they …

Remdesivir is NOT an Orphan Drug
For one thing, it’s a widely used and generally accepted treatment for Ebola (remember that?) as well as Junin, Lassa Fever, MERS, and SARS. Medically oriented NGOs were livid and they get most of their money from very rich and powerful people (despite the late night TV begging) with whom they have a close relationship. …

Nothing to laugh at here.
No News, and All the News at Once. Cody Johnston Frankly, he’s getting too mainstream.

Profiteering
It doesn’t mean making a profit. It means taking advantage of someone’s urgent needs to steal all their monies. You know, like Health Insurance Companies, Big Pharma, and the Mega-Medicals do as a Business Model. In War time (Is the War on Drugs a real War? What about the War on Poverty?) Profiteers are frequently …

Plague on the Gold Coast
That’s what us Nutmeggers call Fairfield County which is reliably one of the Top Five wealthiest in the United States. As I’ve said before I have a passing familiarity (worked for a long time within a mile of Sandy Hook Elementary). Unlike what you might think, and despite the statistics, there are many areas that …

Irrational Exuberance
In “Classical” Economics it’s sometimes called “Animal Spirits” though I prefer the simpler and more direct “Greed”. Hope you’re enjoying your Dead Cat. The Fundamentals haven’t changed a bit (well, except to get worse from both an Epidemiological and Economic standpoint) and Unindicted Co-conspirator Bottomless Pinocchio may have queered the incipient deal on Stimulus (which …

Well, this was inevitable.
I’ve worked events like this and it costs an enormous amount of money to postpone them. At the same time who would want to go or participate? I’ll admit getting to hit on Gymnasts is an attraction. Japanese prime minister says IOC has agreed to postpone Tokyo Olympics By Adam Kilgore, Rick Maese, and Simon …
