215 Pounds

While doing Rice Street Thursday afternoon, the Former Guy was allowed to “self report” his vitals, including his weight.

This number was 24 pounds less than his doc last reported and 71 pounds less than the average “over/under” on betting sites.

This is a clarifying moment. We should allow widespread “self reporting” of all sorts of things. As just one example, think of the savings if we didn’t need any of those new Internal Revenue Service agents.

Just ask everyone, including the Former Guy, on a postcard, “What was your income for 2023?” Similarly, just ask the FG, “What did you make on 18 and how many under par were you today?” “Where do you rank among all Presidents?”

And think of the time and money savings if we just asked him to self report on whether he committed any of the 91 felonies.

I’m going to begin my Multicultural Education class with this Washington State case study.

Book battles are raging nationwide. A WA library could be nation’s first to close.

Can someone make me a “Mom’s For Liberty?” t-shirt? Medium. Please and thank-you.

What The Hell Happened To Rudy Giuliani?

A lengthy New York Times article suggests a two-part answer.

First, he couldn’t handle going from being internationally renown following 9/11 to becoming completely irrelevant following his disastrous 2008 Presidential run. Long story short, he decided he’d do whatever was necessary, including help lead an attempted coup, to try to regain some modicum of his former relevance.

Second, he is an alcoholic.

Now, at age 79, he’s running out of money and facing serious jail time. Deserved jail time, not because he’s a threat to the public, but as a deterrent to the next wanna be dictator enablers.

Rudy’s demise is an unparalleled precautionary tale for anyone enamored with the bright lights of media fame. If only someone had slipped him some Marcus Aurelius when he was “America’s Mayor”.
