"Mrs. Ricardo, the logical choice is to clearly describe the situation to your husband.

Knowing your very human predilections, however, I believe instead you will decide upon a scheme that some would call 'wacky.' "

So how many Electric Vehicles currently sold in the US benefit from the $7500 tax break in the "Reduce Inflation" bill?

So why is gas prices falling?

It ain't because of Biden - or if it is "helping", the draining of our strategic oil reserves is not necessarily a great idea.

Nope. It's about reduced demand and "Substitution."

And, of course, speaking of Jeff Lynne.

Xanadu.

I loved it. Still do, warts and all.

It was my introduction to... Well, you know.

RIP, fair lady.

A musical toot.

Cause lots of ya'll are stressed.

I love Jeff Lynne's music.
Ironically, I didn't discover his music because of ELO.

I discovered it because of an album he produced for Roy Orbison.

Mystery Girl.

My dad had it, and I lost my shit the first time I heard it. I put two and two together and started collecting ELO albums. And everything else he did.

Here's a compilation of songs Jeff did for other artists. including Roy, George, Tom, and more.

So, I'm a YUGE fan of the Breaking Bad "Universe".

Better Call Saul has two eps left. The newest had appearances from Walt and Jesse.

It also had a wonderful montage with a song I thought I recognized.

They used the demo in the episode.

Mike Nesmith.

It was a Monkees song, pared down to its very essence.

Here it is.

RIP, Mike.

So the Biden Admin is like "Nope, no recession here."

A recent poll showed that 63% of folks surveyed don't believe that, and think we are in a recession.

Today, leftie mag The Atlantic posts an article "How to be Happy in a Recession."

All these people can fuck right off.

Today's Trek Toot.

Rod Roddenberry is a whore, living off his father's ideas and legacy.

He takes offense at The Shat criticizing nuTrek.

He also has a producer credit on all NuTrek.

Follow the money.
Nuff said.
