Thoughts and flashes of brilliance that enter my head from nowhere.
Enjoy. Or abhor, depending on the effect of my "wisdom".

Biden's Virus Speech 12/21/21
Yes it was terrible. This man gives the worst speeches on the planet.. And now we have this strange cough that gives pause. First there was the whisper, then there was the cough. What's next.?
The big plan is to have tests for COVID delivered to every American home, free of charge. This seems like a good idea but somehow I see a confusing mess ahead.
There has been screaming and hollering about this version of COVID known as Omicron. Part of the hysteria, I suspect, is because of winter and the holidays coming up. This is the petri dish for such as colds, flus and yes, COVID.
I suppose it's good advice to only have those indoors around you those who have been vaccinated. But there are those gubmint types who see Omicron as a way to keep controlling us. This is part of the plan.
And Biden helps it along.

HOLIDAY EATING TIPS
I did not write this. It was written by an unknown Facebook poster.
It is cute with a humorous element of truth.
Enjoy your holiday meals.
1. Avoid carrot sticks. Anyone who puts carrots on a holiday buffet table knows nothing of the Holiday spirit. In fact, if you see carrots, leave immediately. Go next door, where they're serving rum balls.
2. Drink as much eggnog as you can. And quickly, it's rare. You cannot find it any other time of year but now. So drink up! Who cares that it has 10,000 calories in every sip? It's not as if you're going to turn into an eggnog-alcoholic or something. It's a treat. Enjoy it. Have one for me. Have two. It's later than you think. It's Christmas!
3. If something comes with gravy, use it. That's the whole point of gravy. Gravy does not stand alone. Pour it on. Make a volcano out of your mashed potatoes. Fill it with gravy. Eat the volcano. Repeat.
4. As for mashed potatoes, always ask if they're made with skim milk or whole milk. If it's skim, pass. Why bother? It's like buying a sports car with an automatic transmission.
5. Do not have a snack before going to a party in an effort to control your eating. The whole point of going to a Holiday party is to eat other people's food for free. Lots of it. Hello?
6. Under no circumstances should you exercise between now and New Year's. You can do that in January when you have nothing else to do. This is the time for long naps, which you'll need after circling the buffet table while carrying a 10-pound plate of food and that vat of eggnog.
7. If you come across something really good at a buffet table, like frosted Christmas cookies in the shape and size of Santa position yourself near them and don't budge. Have as many as you can before becoming the center of attention. They're like a beautiful pair of shoes. If you leave them behind, you're never going to see them again.
8. Same for pies. Apple, Pumpkin, Mincemeat. Have a slice of each. Or if you don't like mincemeat, have two apples and one pumpkin. Always have three. When else do you get to have more than one dessert, Labor Day?
9. Did someone mention fruitcake? Granted, it's loaded with the mandatory celebratory calories but avoid it at all cost. I mean, have some standards.
10. One final tip: If you don't feel terrible when you leave the party or get up from the table, you haven't been paying attention. Re-read tips; start over, but hurry, January is just around the corner. Remember this motto to live by:
"Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate and wine in one hand, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming " WOO HOO what a ride!" MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

THE FLY ON THE WALL
Yes I am a fly and yes I also Blog. I tend to wander around among the politicians and hear their conversation. Because I am a fly beneficial to humanity, I share that which I hear. Bear in mind my spelling. I am, after all, only a fly.
Meeting about Manchin
It was evidently a last minute meeting regarding the vote of Joe Manchin, a senator from West Virginia who has been changing his mind periodically on how he would vote for the many trillion dollar money gift to Biden and the Democrats known as Build Back Better."
It was a group of Democrats meeting about this and I just happened to already be in the office, enjoying some crumbs from an earlier meeting.
"Well he's perfectly serious about his vote. He's not voting for the bill and all I can say is I'm glad I didn't have to get involved in this," said one fellow, a Democrat Aid who began the meeting with the sound of joy.
"We had five people who would vote against the bill, if necessary. This does not even include Sinema," another Dem Aid chimed in.
Somebody pulled out a bottle of vodka and someone else found some shot glasses in a closet in the room. The spider had told me earlier in the week that there were a bunch of Democrats who did not want to vote for that bill, that many Americans, many of them Democrat, did not want the bill and some Democrats feared being voted out of office if they voted for the bill.
"Many Americans see the Build Back Better bill as a huge monetary gift to the Democrats. At taxpayer expense, mind you," the spider whispered in my ear.
The spider, he knows way more about American politics than a spider should.
The meeting went on with no crumbs but plenty of vodka, which this fly does not care for.
There was laughter, hand-slapping and great joy that this Joe Manchin human would vote against the Build Back Better program and keep so many of that out of the line of fire.
And the spider knew all about it.
Go figure.
