POTPOURRI

Lost in all the hubbub and contretemps over A Rose By Any Other Name, is that the Florida Supreme Court DENIED the Florida Bar's emergency motion to suspend Bruce Jacobs. But the fight goes on and we wish Mr. Jacobs well (maybe cut back a bit on the size of those appendices to start. Everyone knows Judges do not like to read).

We recently traveled and approximately 30-40% of people on planes were wearing masks. Dumb. Dumber. Dumbest. Dead. Declinate the D's of not wearing masks.  

Vicki White, the corrections officer who helped an inmate escape has died of a self inflicted gunshot wound after being captured. We were sort of rooting for her. 

F1? F-Off. Not for us. But rumor is that Dolphin Owner Stephen Ross made more on this past weekend's F1 race then he will for the whole 2022 NFL season. 

Raul Julia's portrayal of the defense attorney in Presumed Innocent is just remarkable. We had occasion to watch it again over the weekend, and it is too often neglected. The line about having more than enough  unsubstantiated allegations for one case is just classic. Julia died way too young at age 56 or so. 

MISCELLANEOUS MONDAY

 We bounced back in the NFL yesterday, winning our picks, surviving another week in the survivor pool, and scoring the most points in our Fantasy Football week after a disappointing 0-2 start. 

Speaking of the NFL, how many years has it been that the Washington football team has not been able to choose a name? How hard can it be? Nothing racist, nothing offensive... just choose a name. The Washington Gridlocks; the Washington Potomacs;  the Washington Monuments; the Washington budget deficits; the Washington Taxes; The Washington Filibusters; The Washington Whips (our favourite); just pick a name please. 

HAVE YOU SEEN THIS ZEBRA? 

He's on the loose in Maryland and cannot be caught.  He's actually one of a few Zebras on the loose in Maryland. Query: what do you call a group of Zebras? A Dazzle. Yes, that's right. A Dazzle of Zebras are on the loose in Maryland. 

HOLD THE MAYO 

Speaking of being on the loose, the US Department of State just upped the bounty to fifteen million dollars for Mexican Sinaloa Cartel Boss "El Mayo" Zambada.  El Mayo is 73 years old, a former partner of El Chapo, who is residing in Colorado these days, and is rumored to like his turkey sandwiches on rye with...mayo.
