Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- I've long been fascinated by Joe Bonaparte of New Jersey 

- The Navy just filed patents for new unbelievable weapons. Brings to mind the Arthur C. Clarke quote, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." Or in this case UFO science-fiction. 

- Interesting - Janet Yellen's ethics agreement specifically mentions Citadel as a potential conflict of interest. The GameStop story won't be going away anytime soon.

- Death of a City: The Portland Story? Another factor to consider - are the retirement funds for public workers funded or unfunded? Unfunded mandates like pensions could be the quickest way for any city to commit suicide.

- Antifa attacks Portland Democratic Party HQ. Peace in the Middle East may be as simple as giving the Palestinians the City of Portland. Not much different  than what's going on now.

- Morgan Housel: A few thoughts on writing.

 - A $15 Federal minimum wage is a BAD idea (The They Might Be Giants song on the other hand is awesome)

- Big day in New England history.

- Phillip Rivers retires from the NFL

Flotsam and Jetsam

Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.

There has been no confirmation to the rumor that Joe Biden's Secret Service code name is "Disaster Pants." I repeat - no confirmation!... The definition of a badass... I think if you did a Venn diagram of the people who support the Palestinians over Israel at every turn with the people who supported Antifa's takeover of Portland, Oregon - it would be a circle within a circle... After reading the book Operation Paperclip I kept thinking that the death of Frank Olson from LSD would make an interesting movie. Just learned that there's a documentary on Netflix called Wormwood about Frank Olson. I'll have to check that out... It should also be noted that Joe Biden's name does not translate into Japanese as "Buddhist hell." Not sure how that misunderstanding got started... Celtics coach Brad Stevens kind of looks like a young Chuck Yeager. Am I the only one who sees this?... If you're a New England Patriots fan who is not rooting for Tom Brady - I don't understand you. Not understanding outside of understanding that your parents must not have raised you the right way...
