• NBC scored huge ratings with the Dallas Cowboys-New York Giants game Sunday night. I knew interest was high when I walked by a bar in West Hollywood and I heard everybody inside at the bar shouting, Screw the Cowboys! I don't know if they were watching the game or Brokeback Mountain.
• LPGA golfer Linda Chen was playing in a pro-am Saturday and she won the advertised prize of a Mercedes-Benz by scoring a hole-in-one on a par-3 hole. They reneged on the prize and now she's suing the organizers because they don't want to pay off. I didn't know Allstate had a golf tournament.
• New Mexico Governor Michelle Grisham in effect ignored the Constitution and suspended open and concealed handgun carry. It's for thirty days. Until then Alec Baldwin will just have to put away his revolver and take up knife-throwing if he wants his movie crew's undivided attention in New Mexico.
• JP Morgan warned Congress excessive federal spending plus sixteen trillion dollars in consumer debt is creating a credit bubble that could burst and wreck the economy. My credit score is so low I have to show ID just to pay cash. I can't even get friends, Romans or countrymen to lend me their ears.
• Edinburgh University's Roslin Institute of Genetics in Scotland received sad news of one of their legendary scientists Monday. Dr. Ian Wilmut, the Scottish genetic scientist who cloned Dolly the Sheep has died at the age of seventy-nine. His death was reported by his twenty-six year-old twin brother.
• President Biden took heat in the media Monday for spending a day overseas rather than fly back to New York for the Twin Towers ceremony. Maybe it's just as well he wasn't there. When Joe gets misty eyed talking about 9-11 you never know if he's talking about the terrorist attack or his old Porsche.
• President Biden had a bizarre press conference in Vietnam Sunday that alarmed Democrats. He rambled about John Wayne, Indians and dog faced pony soldiers. Democrats are alarmed because right now Biden's approval ratings are hovering somewhere in between Hurricane Lee and Long Covid.
• Donald Trump asked the DC judge handling his election meddling case to step aside due to past statements she made in court. She'd called Jan 6 a violent attempt to overthrow the U.S. due to blind loyalty to one person. I think he'd get a fairer trial from a tribunal consisting of the Women of the View.
• Governor Christy Noem hosted a GOP fundraiser for Donald Trump's 2024 campaign Friday in South Dakota. I don't want to say it's flat and desolate up there, but the state tree is a telephone pole. You can stand on your front porch and watch your dog run away for a long time in South Dakota.
• House Republicans vowed to shut down the U.S. government if House Democrats don't agree to spending cuts. Both parties can afford to be brave. If they can't reach a budget deal and the U.S. government shuts down, Members of Congress still get paid under the Americans with No Abilities Act.
• The White House cut off oil drilling Wednesday on a lease in the Alaskan wilderness the size of a football field that's rich in petroleum. It just adds to motorists' woes. Gas is so expensive in L.A. that housewives in Beverly Hills are forced to carpool to run over their cheating husbands in the driveway.
• The State Department okayed a deal with Iran that unfreezes six billion dollars of Iran's money while we trade Iran five prisoners in exchange for five Americans held in Iran. I think it's always wise to give the Mullahs mad money. If you call Iran's suicide hot line they ask if you can drive a truck.
