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. NHL – Good job fining noted ruffian Tom Wilson only $5,000 for beating that would have gotten him 5-to-10 in other jurisdictions…Perhaps they’re waiting for Wilson to inflict permanent, career-ending damage or maybe even death before taking real action.
2. South Carolina – Lawmakers – determined to kill somebody, goddammit – reauthorize firing squad for executions because of difficulty in poisoning them to death…This despite fact America has executed people who didn’t really commit the crimes they were condemned for, though Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters appear to be only ones finding this shameful.
3. Lauren Daigle – The 3-hole staple, singer’s hit You Say extends Billboard all-chart record for most weeks at #1 with 127th non-consecutive week at top of Hot Christian Singles chart…Ever envious Morman Tabernacle Choir still looking for similar chart run though they are finding it difficult to rally support amongst faithful for goth version of A Mighty Fortress is Our God despite being written by Martin Luther during Gothic Era.
4. Liz Cheney –Bravely trying to buck Donald Trump’s hold on the GOP…Trump remains a lying sexual predator who believes the moon is part of Mars, leading Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters to wonder which of these traits earned his supporters loyalty.
5. Lincoln by Gore Vidal – One of the joys of reading: a book that never gets old, as fourth or fifth reread of historical novel as good as first go-round…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” historians still getting shorts in knots over perceived inaccuracies should “like, get a life and stuff.”
Today At The Site
Writing worth reading. Usually.
Hurray for Read Free Sunday at The Diary of a Nobody.
The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow has the latest from the hotel’s sundry stand. Today’s Diary.
The big news is there is a new offering in at the sundry stand…I am not making that up…It’s an ice cream treat, the original Klondike bar, and to make room for it a row of Oreo Klondikes were eliminated…So now on the middle row, left to right, there’s Choco-Tacos, those Reese’s sandwich deals, Oreo Klondikes and the original Klondikes…Individual Ice cream remains above and pizza remains below.
