One of the interesting proposals that I heard of a few years ago was a "wealth transfer tax of 2% or so. If it was instituted by all the democracies, it would prevent the threat of the mega-rich packing up and moving to wherever they could get the best deal for themselves.

Well, that, along with lutefisk-eating is a national sport there.

I was/am a big fan of the original series and have the whole series on DVD. It gives me hope that Straczinski is involved but my enthusiasm is restrained.

R. Kelly Found Guilty On All Counts In Sexual Abuse Trial NEW YORK ― R. Kelly, the R&B singer who rose to fame in the 1990s, has been found guilty on all charges related to racketeering and sex trafficking after a trial at the Brooklyn Federal Courthouse. After nine hours of deliberation, a jury of seven men and five women found Kelly guilty on one count of racketeering and eight counts of violating the Mann Act, which prohibits transporting individuals across state lines for the purpose of prostitution. The racketeering charge included 14 different acts. In order to be found guilty on the racketeering charge, the prosecution had to prove just two of those acts to the jury. The jury found Kelly guilty on 12 of the 14 acts, meaning he was found overwhelmingly guilty on the racketeering charge. (Occasionally justice is seen to be done- thank God)

No one applied for one.

Anti-Vax MAGA Cartoonist Says He’s Treating Severe COVID With Beet Juice Ben Garrison, the MAGA world cartoonist who has posted a load of anti-vax propaganda during the pandemic, says he’s come down with a bad case of COVID—and is turning to beet juice to save himself. Garrison made a name for himself during the Trump years with viral cartoons that were heavy with conspiracy theories and depicted the exercise-avoiding ex-president as a hyper-masculine, square-jawed beefcake. Speaking to Gizmodo, Garrison confirmed he and his wife have caught COVID and revealed his ineffectual self-treatment. “We’re taking Ivermectin and various vitamins including a lot of zinc,” Garrison said, who also revealed that he’s been guzzling beet juice. Unlike the vaccine, none of his named treatments have been proven to do anything to treat or prevent falling sick with the coronavirus. However, Garrison remains defiant in his views, saying: “We will never take their foul spike protein-producing jabs, which are neither safe nor effective. They’re not real vaccines.” Anti-Vax MAGA Cartoonist Says He’s Treating Severe COVID With Beet Juice (thedailybeast.com)

And if you think this will make an iota of difference to the anti-vaxxers.....

Math appears to only one of a great many things Rider fans do not understand. Like personal hygiene, drunk driving laws, inbreeding and so forth.

*sigh* No one loves Gregorian chants any more.

The Riders squeaked by the Lions, and it still counts as a win, but Fajardo got rocked multiple times due to a porous O-line. One of these times he isn't going to get up and be done for at least 6 games. Overall, though, both games were entertaining.

Apparently one of the Michaels is a sleaze and a party pal of Kim Jong-Un.

Both of them?

Entertaining half of footyball.

I think Big Mac has won his job back.

But he works cheap and has been around a looong time.

Well, looky, looky. We have two QBs completing passes, running for gains and sustaining marches.

And MBT tosses a 6!

How dare they.

The Cypress Hills park is a beautiful place- startling as it seems so out of place in the prairies.

In the interview, he was whining about "not having a choice".

Sometimes those games are the most entertaining.

Ah. Should have known that.
