The Daily Dose/June 11, 2023
By Gaylon Kent – America’s Funniest Guy™
The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Donald Trump – The I’s have it: Indictment, Impeachment, Ignorance…Hardly a surprise, as Trump too stupid to take expert advice on the matter…Of course, he remains the GOP front-runner for their 2024 presidential nomination…From Lincoln, to Reagan to Trump…Plot it on a graph and you have a perpendicular line and it ain’t going up folks.
2. PGA Tour/LIV Merger – Why shouldn’t the PGA Tour take Saudi blood money, everyone else does…Saudi crown prince expected to announce new rules for all non-majors, including beheadings for double-bogies, making all tee boxes face Mecca and forcing chick media members to wear burkas…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters still “pretty sure” there will never be a Daily Dose brought to you by the Saudi Wealth Fund.
3. Mass Shootings – The 3-hole staple…A relatively light week in Shooting Gallery USA, with only 12 shootings that injured/killed at least four, featuring nine (9) deaths and a mere 52 wounded…Forecast for this week strong, as victory celebrations in Denver and Las Vegas could set off fun-spirited shootings in crowded streets.
4. Testify AI, Testify! – Go in peace, serve the ChatGPI…AI sermon at Lutheran church in Germany not really a surprise – you figured some preacher would someday say “screw it” and channel Holy AI Spirit- but having Lutherans set the pace is really the Upset of the Year…Lutherans never set the pace in anything, unless it’s being the first to apologize for something they didn’t do.
5. Fake News – Click here for fake stuff some wizards amongst us were believing this week…Runs occasionally when Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters can’t come up with sufficient material…Courtesy of the AP.
Today At The Site
Writing worth reading. Usually.
Sure, it’s Read Free Sunday (RFS) at The Diary.
The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow reports to the gym to find someone blasting some music. Today’s Diary.
Other people’s music is as noxious as their smoke and we would’ve objected had he been blasting The Sparrow Playlist, much less some crap that would sterilize frogs at a thousand yards…As it was tho, he had the rugrat turn it off as we walked in, which was the courteous thing to do…

Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 1944 – The USS Missouri (BB-63) is commissioned, the last battleship built by the US Navy. She fought in World War II and Korea, was the site of Japan’s surrender in 1945, and was decommissioned in 1955. The ship was reactivated and modernized in 1986 as part of the Navy’s plans for an 800-ship fleet, and was decommissioned for good in 1992, and today is a museum ship in Pearl Harbor.
In 2012 – The Los Angeles Kings win the Stanley Cup, defeating the New Jersey Devils 6-1 to win the series four games to two. It was the first of two Stanley Cup titles for the Kings and was the second and most recent finals defeat for the Devils, who have won the Stanley Cup three times. The Kings had finished the regular season with a 40-27-15 record and became the first number eight seed to win the Stanley Cup.
In 1977 – KC & the Sunshine Band is at #1 on Billboard’s Hot 100 for the only week with I’m Your Boogie Man. The song also went to #1 in Canada, peaked at #41 in Great Britain, at #3 on Billboard’s soul chart, and was their 11th-biggest song of the year. It was the fourth and penultimate #1 song for the group and was their fourth of six Top 10 hits and their fifth of the ten Top 40 hits.

Answer To The Last Trivia Question
Knowledge is power.
Besides Czechoslovakia, Hungary (1938, 1954) and the Netherlands (1974-78; 2010) are the other countries that have appeared in multiple World Cup finals without winning.
