Where’s My Muse?

 I was telling the FC boys on our weekly Zoom yesterday that I have not been feeling inspired recently to toss out a new blog post.  They said, “you have a blog?”.  Oh, I kid.  At least one of them reads it regularly.  They suggested I share the news of my football pool win, so I’ll do so.  I came in 4th with a 177 – 79 record for the season, which comes with a $345 prize.  Once we can all reconvene, I’ll buy them a beer.  Now it is on to the playoff pool. This week’s picks are Bills, Bucs, Seahawks, Ravens, Saints and Steelers.  You can take those predictions to the bank.

I woke up to the fantastic news that the Rev. Raphael Warnock beat day trader Kelly Loeffler in one of the GA Senate races and Jon Ossoff has a slim lead in the other.  Trump’s chickens are coming home to roost.  Right now, we are being treated to a sedition shit show thanks to Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz and a bunch of other traitors that think the only valid elections are the ones Republicans win. Currently Cruz has the floor.  I watched about a minute before nausea welled up. Mikey Pence is overseeing that mess. He has zero power to alter Biden’s electoral college win, although a certain ochre hued fantasist disagrees.  Louie Gohmert’s suit has already been tossed, along with everything traitors Giuliani, Powell and Wood have tried to make stick.  There should be consequences for this type of behavior, but I’m not holding my breath.  By the way, Charles Pierce refers to Louie Gohmert as "Padishah Emperor for Life of the Crazy People", which fits.

For those of you that do not want to think about politics, there’s always celebrity news.  The Wig alerted me to the Olivia Wilde / Harry Styles affair.  He is dreamy but a little young for her, no? Regardless, this one has legs and may last well into 2022.  But the big news is a possible Kim Kardashian / Kanye West divorce, which I never could have predicted.  They’ll be OK, but I feel sorry for North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm, and not just because they are stuck with those names.

As I said, the muse has been failing me lately, so that is all I got.  I’ll see what I can do to ramp up production this new year.
