Really?
A maternity hospital!

A MATERNITY Hospital!

THOSE BASTARDS BOMBED A MATERNITY HOSPITAL!
“Mariupol authorities accuse Russians of bombing children’s and maternity hospital,” screamed this headline over a Tim Lister and Olga Voitovych bylined story from CNN.
A gut-wrenching photo of the ruination left in the wake of the bombing surpasses any adequate words to describe the devastating scene, but (in the same CNN story) the following quotation from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s Telegram account pretty much says it all:
“Direct strike of Russian troops at the maternity hospital. People, children are under the wreckage. Atrocity! How much longer will the world be an accomplice ignoring terror?”
The Russians’ daily battering of Ukraine obviously has no boundaries because the monomaniacal Vladimir Putin is, among other things, the epitome of a sociopath. I certainly don’t envy President Biden these by days. Talk about the proverbial rock and a hard place! Maybe we can enlist the help of Indiana Jones, James Bond, and Jason Bourne by sending them to Russia to confiscate all the Vodka in the country and having them dump it into the Arctic Ocean! Cheers, Vlad!
Mother Who?
What I want to know is who pissed off Mother Nature. We awakened last Wednesday to about three inches of snow. SNOW! This is my least favorite four-letter word, and someone needs to ask Mother Nature to pack up the winter weather. We finally got Daylight Saving Time back, and Spring makes its debut in just a week, but apparently Mom Nature didn’t get the memo because she is getting ready to launch a mean winter storm on the South and Northeast. It’s called a bomb cyclone. Oh well, July isn’t that far away.
How Much???
The NFL soap opera starring Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers apparently has reached its conclusion. Last season reports of Rodgers signing and not signing were rampant, but the Packers finally signed him, and although he led the Green & Gold to a record of 13-4-0 and a place in the NFL divisional championship, but they lost to the San Francisco 49ers, 13-10. It was a great season that saw Rodgers winning his fourth MVP award, but the team didn’t capture the brass ring, which eventually went to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who defeated the Kansas City Chiefs by the score 31-9 in Super Bowl LV.
Rodgers reportedly recently signed a four-year contract with the Packers that would pay him $200 million per year, making him the highest paid player in NFL history. However, Rodgers has disputed the terms of his contract on social media.
“Hey everyone, just wanted to clear some things up: YES I will be playing with the Packers next year; however, reports of me signing a contract are inaccurate, as are the supposed terms of the contract I “signed.” I’m very excited to be back.”
Is he beginning another drama? If so, at least he has signed.
Disgusting!
Here is something that I just can’t understand. You can see it when you drive the three-mile stretch of road from Convenient on Bethany Pike out GC&P to the entrance of Dawn Ree Drive. What you will observe is what I call EOMUBWAI06 (Evidence of Mannerless, Uncouth, Beings with an IQ of 6). Henceforth we will refer to them as the Sixes, because I’ve never seen one of them, but I think they come out from the drain and sewer lines along the roadside. I’ve tried to catch a glimpse of them, but I’ve decided the best time to see them is very late at night because I think they must eat then. But they never clean up after themselves! Instead, they just leave drink containers, pizza boxes, burger wrappers, and various other bits of litter in the ditches. You would think that lowlifes like this would be easy to capture, but they are extremely difficult to see despite their incredibly low IQs. Their elusiveness is matched only by their remarkable stupidity, and in fact their intelligence has often been compared to a bag of rocks. I really don’t know what I would do if I actually managed to catch one of them. What would I say to it? Would it understand me? Hey, I just got a great idea about catching one of them. When I’m driving on GC&P, I’ll just slow down and pitch some trash out of the car. If I do that often enough, I should at least be able see one of them. Happy hunting and good luck.
Baseball Is Safe!
The baseball season has finally been saved. Opening day now is set for April 7, and the teams will play a full schedule of 162 games. This should make the hardcore fans happy. Does anyone else care?
Ponder This!
I knew a guy who was feeling pretty proud of himself because the Sesame Street puzzle he bought said 3-5 years on the box. But he finished it in just 18 months.
