Pardoning the Turkeys

-

The goofiest story of the year - every year - took place.

President Biden pardoned 2 turkeys yesterday at a ceremony that probably cost a lot of money.

This year it seems truly weird because it certainly seems that all rules are out the window.

“My, my, my these are lawless times.”

Right under the turkey parson story was the story that Jack Smith dropped the case against the guy who started the insurrection.

Following that was a story about the new FCC guy saying that he’s going to target people who talk badly about the new administration.

Under that was the story about the incoming guy saying that he was not going to sign the ethics agreement that every other president has signed on the way into office.

Trying hard not to dwell on any of this, but it appears that we are no longer operating as a Democracy that is beholden to a constitution.

Elon Musk is putting out notice that governors will be arrested if they don’t follow the directives put forth by the Federal government.

That’s new, right?

What office was Musk elected to?

We are entering a brave new world where the rules no longer apply.

Those turkeys?

They didn’t need to be pardoned for their crimes…

…they could’ve just stacked the courts…

…faked an assassination attempt or two…

…or used a computer program to switch the votes in swing states.

If all else failed…

…they could have simply filed a hundred lawsuits meant to delay the inevitable past Thanksgiving.

Biden should’ve pardoned his son.

The hell with it…

…rules and laws are going beyond the wayside.

Everyone should be cleared.

Even the turkeys.

My Buddy, Dave

Way back in 1997, I started working with a steel erection company out of Syracuse. I was coming straight from a long stint with a steel erector here in Buffalo so I knew my stuff when it came to steel erection safety rules. On day one, I met with the safety director and he was just getting started as a safety guy, but man, he certainly cared about the guys he worked with. Dave was a good man from the start. He’d say things like: “You’re so full of beans.” Just a down to earth, hardworking guy who became a fast friend. We drove all around New York State setting up jobs. I always let Dave drive so that I could rest. One fine day, way up North of Syracuse, we passed a state trooper.  I glanced at the speedometer. “You’re screwed,” I said, and seconds later, the lights came on. Dave was beside himself.  The cop stopped by the window, grabbed the license and registration and headed back to his vehicle. “Here’s the thing,” I said. “You’re pissed, but you’re such a good guy that I be...

Mom & Ollie

 Ollie Stadium is a mess. The heavy rains rendered the backyard a mud pit and even though we threw in the side yard, the Big O was looking for more, and we were both covered in mud. I had to take some steam out of him somehow so I suggested we go visit Grandma. Ollie hates the car, but he laid quietly as we made the trip. We even brought the football because there is plenty of room to play at Grandma’s. Mom opened the door and started laughing. I thought about the love she had for every single dog we ever had. Oliver was quick to give my Mom a kiss, and then he stood beside her. The love between Mom and Dogs is a mutual bond. Through the years, Mom would make breakfast for the dogs.  Fried eggs, toast, bacon… She would wrap Christmas gifts for them. “To Jeter, Love Santa,” she would write on the cards. They played with the big chicken that made a lot of noise. Mom tossed the football and Ollie brought it back to her. As the visit drew to a close I headed for the door.  “C...

My sister’s book is out there! Go get it!! It makes me so proud to see the book on Amazon, knowing that it’s very, very great! It’s been a long, long time since we were out in California, brainstorming my stories long before they were published. Carrie Lynn was writing, writing and writing some more through the years and I kept telling her… …”Go for it!” Well, she did!  To amazing results. Of course I was able to read the book as it was being put together, but I ordered a copy from Amazon yesterday and can’t wait to read it again. The shoe is on the other foot now as I have been sitting on a lot of my writing lately. I plan on getting it out there before the end of 2024, but for now: Carrie takes center stage! And it’s so great… …go get a copy!
