Gearin’ up for a Greasy Good Time

Oh my God! The year 2022 is turning into a crap show. Not because Mike isn’t maintaining his resolutions, but now we're getting milk from plants. They're trying to do away with my second-best farm animal friend, the cow. I have a real beef with a company out of Israel called Remilk that makes animal-free dairy proteins out of precise fermentation. It's udderly ridiculous and sounds like the start of a good wine to me. But what do I know, I'm just a bird who opens beers, then eats beef, bread, french fries, pork chops and chicken wings. I'm not…

What is Going on Here?

Government takeover? It looks like it to me. They shut down our economy, then left town. Went home. No more congress in Washington. No more leadership. But no cut in pay for congress. Again, like I asked last month, whatever happened to the “real” ABATE (A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments)? Wake up folks. This is a government takeover. You gotta stay home. They tell us to let them take care of us. How, you ask? How about shutting down our economy. WHAT!?!? The government tells us that people are dying. Just like they do everyday of the year. But wait…

But I am still hoping that the government doesn’t decide to shut down the internet “for our safety”. Y’all know what I’m talking about. A possibility of catching the Coronavirus thru osmosis, or something equally stupid. “Stay away…
