Editor’s Note: Gaylon is working on a project and most elements of The Daily Dose – Leading Off, The Sunday Bottom 5, On This Date, Some Philosophy Crap, Trivia – are either on hiatus or running intermittently. Your full-service Daily Dose will return, probably later this spring, though perhaps in the summer.
The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Will Craig: –Wizard Pittsburgh Pirate first baseman runs batter-runner back to home plate instead of touching first base ultimately resulting in two (2) runs scoring instead of the inning ending in a game lost by two (2) runs…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” they’ll be able to waive usual 5-year waiting period and get Craig immediate induction into Sunday Bottom 5 Hall of Fame.
2. January 6 Commission Vote –Senate fails to pass measure that would have set stage for non-partisan commission to investigate attempted insurrection…While great fun to blame GOP for this, Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” had nine (9) absent Democrats bothered to show up vote would have gone differently.
3. Lauren Daigle – Single You Say drops out of top spot on Billboard’s Hot Christian Singles chart for sixth time, after four consecutive weeks and Billboard all-chart record 129 non-consecutive weeks at #1…Top spot now filled by Crowder – who looks like he’s auditioning for a role with ZZ Top – with his first #1 song called Good God Almighty.
4. Donald Trump Supporters – Hey guys, Trump remains a lying sexual predator who believes 1) that the Revolution was won by securing British airports and 2) that the moon is part of Mars…Out of idle curiosity, which one of these elements continues to cement your support?

Today At The Site
Writing worth reading. Usually.
Cheapskates rejoice. You made it to Read Free Sunday at The Diary.
The Diary of a Nobody – Amy and Q are neck and neck for the most reward club signups this month.
Amy even accused Q of taking the new guy’s signups under the guise of training, something Q didn’t really bother to deny and he had such a focused look in his eye ol’ Sparrow even declared – so as not to incur anyone’s wrath – that he wasn’t going sign anyone up for the rewards club ever again…This will be easy enuff to accomplish seeing as I haven’t signed anyone up in over two years here anyway.
Some Philosophy Crap
The wisdom of the ages. Whatever.
Men are a thousand times more intent on becoming rich than on acquiring culture, though it is quite certain that what a man is contributes more to his happiness than what he has.
Schopenhauer
