At least they’re playing

They’re playing soccer in Germany. They’re playing baseball in South Korea. They’re even driving cars around in circles and doing some stupid shit in the process.  Baseball is looking at possible opening dates. And it looks like college football is on for the fall (with a few possible exceptions).  Sports is alive, albeit on life support.  Let’s just hope Cuomo isn’t put in charge of sports reopening and chooses it is best to put them collectively in nursing homes.

BLWAAACH!!!!

Jazzman and shoe polish aficionado Al Jolson was born on this day.  He shares it with wildly overrated actor (IMO) John Wayne, English actor Peter Cushing, the brilliant Miles Davis, dull as dirt sportscaster Brent Musburger, Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, redneck extraordinaire Hank Williams Jr, astronaut Sally Ride, annoying dude Bobcat Goldthwait, musician and scarf-wearer Lenny Kravitz, actress Helena Bonham Carter, and vocal genius Lauryn Hill.

That wasn’t a bad list. Not great, but not awful.  Anyway, let me clean off the dust and get to…the links!

Thank God nobody was menstruating.

I think not wearing a mask is the least of this dude’s problems. Well, actually, that’s no problem at all in an outdoor environment. But they had to throw that in anyway.

It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. I’m no fan of hate crime legislation, but they definitely need to dive in and investigate the investigators here and see what took them so long to bring charges.

I’ve been on some bad first dates, but nothing like this lady. The police should have respected the wishes of her prospective beau.

Nice outfit.

The retardation going on across the pond is breathtaking. Rather than demanding this dude be fired, who aren’t people up in arms about still being locked in their homes after well over a month? Brits gonna Brit, I suppose.

If this level of hypocrisy surprises you, then you need to wake up from your coma. This is how our elite political class have always acted. In this case, I’m not the least bit sympathetic. Fortunately, unlike the last link, people in the great state of Michigan Up North are up in arms about not being allowed to do something completely safe.

Chicagoans, defying the lockdown, return to normal over the holiday weekend. In fact, they went above and beyond.

Wherever there is a government grant program, expect there to be plenty of fraud to go along with it. I sincerely doubt they weren’t alone. They were just dumb enough to get caught.

They are coming…

I’ve lost count of which plague we’re on. But I know we’re getting close to the end.  I’m getting ready to start putting blood on my doorway every night just to be safe.

Here’s a great song from a brilliant album. And even if you don’t care for the genre, there’s plenty of songs to listen for in the sampling. Enjoy.

I want to thank everyone on here for their sympathy, thoughts, and prayers during the last 12 days for Banjos and her family. It’s been a challenging and depressing time for them as they grieve.  I also want to thank by fellow Glibs overlords for picking up the slack as we went through the death of her father. You guys taking care of the links through those days helped us to do what we needed to do a lot more than I can easily put into words.  Thank you so very much.

And with that, I wish you all a wonderful Tuesday and start to, or continuation of, the work week.
