So while subversives like you were burning your draft cards, I was serving my country by pointing out poison ivy to retired people on bus tours.

======================

Why cant we have GMO-poison ivy ?

If GMO is so great, why cant it make poison ivy…um…bigger, or even more poisony. Or somethin.

Yeah, i forgot about that. He liked dogs though.

Course so did Hitler.

I wonder if Stalin liked dogs?

Yeah, I dont buy into the notion that ‘belief’ adds up to more years on the planet, but, fwiw, and not that it matters, but in the Surfing book, the guy is not talking about ‘religion’ really. He’s talkin about ‘spirituality.’ Spirituality of surfing, being that feeling of ‘oneness’ when surfers are on a wave. Ya know. The ‘ego’ disappears and the surfer becomes the wind/water/sunlight/whatever.

He goes on to write about the ‘TCI’ or temperament and character inventory which measures among other things ‘self-transcendence.’ Self-transcendence being defined as composed of
(1)’trans-personal identification’ (Big Empathy – empathy with animals, plants, humans, etc)
(2) ‘mysticism’ – interest in ‘beyond-logic’ stuff
(3) ‘self-forgetfulness’ –penchant for getting lost in the moment, being in the ‘zone’ of art, sports, whatever.

Blah, blah.

Funny. I live in two different worlds; literally: The first is Tri-State (AKA NYC Suburbs). The second is North Shore Boston. I’m usually in North Shore two to three days a week. When I am up there, I tend to listen to Sports Radio 98.5 FM, the Sports Hub. Back in Tri-State, I tend to listen to 660 AM WFAN. Interestingly, driving to MA, I have about 1.5 Hrs of New York Sports Radio, then 1.5 Hrs of Boston Radio. My god, they are a bunch of whiny bitches.
Anyway, the whole point of this rant (I mean, post) is because when Brady put his house on the market, the first question was, “Is there a team that is just a QB away from winning it all who would sign Brady for one year.” And, much to my chagrin, they picked the Rams as the team that is a really good team but has a bad QB.

So, I ask you all, if we don’t win it all this year, and we don’t resign Goff, do we think about a 43 year old Brady??

=======================

Nah, McSnead believes in Goff. With good reason.

The only way Goff would regress would be if the Oline fails and Goff gets himself all Bulgerized. That can happen to any QB, of course.

Goff is one of the pieces i just dont worry about anymore.

Now the biggest problem as i see it, is that number 99. The D.Lineman. If he doesn’t play better I think the national media is gonna start using the ‘B’ word — Bust.
I knew he was too small coming out of Pitt.

Well, yeah, Monsanto is Monsanto. I wouldn’t be surprised if they used underhanded tactics to discredit Gilliam’s book. That fusion center stuff is ridiculous though. The internal emails just show that Monsanto decided to ignore Gilliam and Paul Thacker.

On the other hand, Gilliam isn’t a journalist. She’s an anti-GMO activist employed by US Right to Know. Their biggest contributor is the Organic Consumers Association, which, along with funding anti-GMO activities, also promotes anti-vaxx propaganda. They and Dr Andrew Wakefield were responsible for the largest measles outbreak in Minnesota in 30 years in 2017. They targeted the Somalia-American community there because they were the most vulnerable to anti-vaxx propaganda.

The EPA is about to say that California can’t issue carcinogenic warning labels for Roundup under Prop 65. California’s own regulatory committee reviewed the research and found it to be non-carcinogenic, but was trying to label it based on the IARC report. Four scientists on the IARC panel have gotten rich in lawsuits against Bayer/Monsanto. So, like Monsanto, when faced with bad news, the Organic industry/USRTK is flooding the internet with negative PR about their enemy, such as the interview above. I’m not saying Monsanto didn’t do what Gilliam says they did, but the Organic Industry uses the same tactics. They secretly pay academics to say what they want them to say, just like they accuse Monsanto of doing. USRTK paid someone $134000 in 2018 but Ruskin refuses to disclose who it was. They accuse scientists working in biotech of being shills, smear their reputations, dox them, etc. etc.

Well, I dont even know what being a “journalist” means in the context of a late-stage-Corporotacracy. What is a ‘journalist’? Someone who writes for the NYTimes? Wall Street Journal? NPR? Is Julian Assange a ‘journalist’? Yes? No?

As per usual, I am left in a state of I-dunno-ville. So I cant say the monsanto-critic-lady is “not a journalist.” Coz i dont even know what the word means anymore.

At any rate, i posted that vid before i watched all of it. Always a no-no. After i watched it, i regretted posting it. There wasnt much there.

But still I’m WAY ahead of the rest of you on points. Because I posted the article on Nuns having Slaves.
Nuns had Slaves. I walk around thinking about that all day long. Nuns had slaves. Its just…so…perfect. A perfect summary of human-kind.
