I remember back in the days of the cold war with the USSR, that there was a TV commercial in which a bunch of old-duffers politicians types in suits from both sides would get into a fight, (fist or wrestling I’m not sure), and end the cold war. The idea was to end the war without destroying the Planet. And provide some entertainment at the same time too.
it took me two years and a dozen arguments to convince my brother that pro wrestling wasn’t real but scripted, after he had been watching it for 10 years. I am still not sure he actually believes me – seriously.
Well global warming is about as real as pro wrestling, there is a script and it’s goal is to make money from the rubes. NOTE I am NOT saying there has been no warming, from the ice core samples we know we have had both colder and warmer periods then we have now. The important thing they don’t mention is that the warmer periods coincide with better living standards for people and advancements in culture and technology. The cold periods show declines in those areas and in population. Cold kills, Warmth nurtures
Pro wrestling is clearly more entertainment than sport, but those guys (and gals) have to be great athletes to do their jobs. Don’t believe me? Try picking up a nearly 300 pound man and tossing him sometime. Not so easy, eh?

‘Fighting With My Family’ is a great little holiday movie.

Everybody wonders if Senator Belfry is modeled after Clinton or Trump. Since he has wings and a beak it should be obvious. He’s Senator Byrd.

While in the US Marine Corps, I knew a fellow whose only wish was to, “Get back to Brooklyn and scream at his family.”

I, too, believed in Santa Claus and Gorgeous George, Antonino Rocca, Andre the Giant and Haystacks Calhoun for a long time!
