4746 No Payoff Here for Sure

 They used to say if you were out hunting with this guy, the safest place to stay was directly in front of him and close. In other facts of the day, there is absolutely, positively, definitely no truth to the murmurings that he ever had his hand out to either give or to take. Absolutely none. Ever. Guy’s as pure as the driven snow of, you know, West Virginia.

Ah, yes, West Virginia with the sixth highest poverty rate in the country.  And the fifth greatest rate of people moving out and heading for more generous states.

West Virginia, population of around the same number as Phoenix or Philadelphia. 

That’s nothing near big by world standards. When you say “big,” think Tokyo, Delhi, Shanghai, Cairo. But it still is a relatively large number of people who could use the Build Back Better bill, would not abuse it and is being prevented by one guy whose job it is to represent their interests.

 

Biden learned a lot from Obama.  One of the things he learned but shouldn’t have was leaving his spine back home when he moved into the White House.  It took eight years for Obama to relocate and reinstall. Biden doesn’t have that much time.

 

SHRAPNEL:

--Anyone taking bets on what will happen to Fox’s Jesse Waters who mentioned Fauci and “kill shot” in the same sentence? Fauci says he should be fired on the spot. Waters says he was quoted out of context.

--That whole “out of context” thing should be revisited. It’s too much like the wording of consent degrees. Those usually say “I didn’t do it and I’ll never do it again.”

--Context? Takes too much thinking and work to report. Everything is taken out of context.

 

GRAPESHOT: 

-Everything is too long to bother with these days, so we’re planning to cut these posts down from 500 to between 300 and 400 words so you can get through them faster.

-A respect-worthy newsman once called this site “hellishly productive,” which was true then but less so with the newly installed word count deficit.

-Next step may be putting keywords in UPPER CASE to make things go even faster because there’s so much else to read about or hear or view in so many other places.
