YES, I AM STILL HERE peeking out my window on Main Street and one of these days us everyday heterosexual citizens are going to have enough of the crazy LGBT (or whatever) antics.
I speaking of the offensive opening ceremonies of the Paris Olympics.
Drag queens were used in a mocking depiction of Da Vinci’s “Last Supper.” Spokespersons for the Olympics and the LGBTs have said: “Oh no, we were not making fun of Christianity. It was all about Greek mythology.”
Baloney. I know what I saw.
And apologies aren’t enough.
The staging of this Last Supper was INTENDED to offend.
Let me say it again: The staging of this Last Supper was INTENDED to offend.
• I didn’t watch all of the opening ceremonies. I am a peasant and I’m not sophisticated enough to appreciate. But I don’t watch Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade or the Rose Bowl Parade or the Super Bowl halftime show, either. So, when those events are on the screen my attention span makes me turn the TV to a replay of NCIS.
• The LGBT crowd has undue influence. Homosexual and heterosexual persons are equally formed in the womb by the Almighty. I don’t know so much about ‘trans’ persons. Just because someone is ‘different’ than me is no reason to mistreat them. But there is no reason to exalt the difference. I don’t think that athletes that started out as males should be able to compete in female sport events just because they ‘identify’ as female. Even if they’ve had surgery.
• If I see a man kissing another man in a TV commercial I immediately resolve to NEVER buy the advertised product (I am pretty sure that the Emu in the insurance commercials is not LGBT, and neither is his pal, Doug). As I said, homosexual persons were formed in the womb by the Almighty. Big birds, too.
• I do not know what offended persons can do about the agenda which is pushing LGBT other than to boycott events and products. I’ll just take a knee when TV commercials come on.
• And one other thing. If a person is torn between using the MEN or WOMEN bathroom, they should just look down to see which equipment the Almighty gave them in the womb. Pretty simple.

DITTO WHAT I SAID in each of the last five weeks about the astronauts and the Boeing Starliner spacecraft. I hope they have guardian angels.
I notice they’re still “up” there.
While Boeing is trying to assure us that everything is under control, NASA is looking at alternative ways to bring the astronauts home. In a non-Boeing spacecraft, I hope.
I’m through flying, and Boeing is one of the reasons. Another reason is that Boeing has made the seats narrower. Sure, they’ll tell you that the seat sizes haven’t changed, but I know from personal experience that they have gotten snugger.
Don’t argue.

A NUT SHOOTS at the former president and a whole wave of stupid conspiracy theories spring up. The latest is some woman saying that President Biden’s wife is somehow involved with the attempt.
It is a sad shame that we as a nation are ready to believe the most far-fetched things.

ABOUT TIME. President Biden has called for a reform of the Supreme Court with an eye toward term limits and ethics. Some people scoff and say it’s just political talk.
I say it’s about time. I want to believe that rulings from the Justices are untainted by gifts of fancy trips and un-paid loans.

WOOOOOOoooooo, Pig! It occurs to me that since the University brought former coach Bobby Petrino back for the football program, maybe we could also bring back former bandleader Jim Robken to jazz up the Hog Wild pep band at basketball games.
I read complaints about the sonic boom canned music and disc jockeys interfering with spontaneous Hog Calls and crowd chants during key points of Razorback basketball games.

SHE SAID: “Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends – your own chosen family. There’s nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.” Jennifer Anniston, actress
