Not much real stuff in the news this week, only more Republican
talking points about Obama making a deal with the Taliban on the release of Bowe
Bergdahl, an American Prisoner of War, after being held by the Taliban for over
five years. Thing is, Republicans were
for the deal, up until the president did it.
No real news there. And speaking
of news, Joyann Ried is turning out to be WW’s favorite anchor on MSNBC. Granted, her Facebook page seems kind of
hokey, but her show is top shelf and makes even WW give something a thought or
two.
Meanwhile, “Orange Is the New Black,” comes out on Netflix
today and Weird Wally (WW), will be turning off his cell until he’s finished,
at least, five of the thirteen episodes.
Although WW abhors violence, he
is said to have felt some serious gratification while Piper Chapman was beating
the crap out of the woman who had kept bulling her. Great way to end the first season.
First book on WW’s summer reading list was, “Natchez Burning,”
by Greg Iles. WW sez this is a “No Skim
Zone,” story and hard to put down. That
there are so many characters often gets confusing and the ending, though
satisfying, is far to action packed. In
short, WW insists that Natchez Burning, would probably make a better movie then
it did a novel.
WW just started, “Flash Boys,” by Michael Lewis, a
non-fiction account of the corrupt under plunder in which many Wall Street players
are currently engaged. To outsiders, some of the concepts may seem foreign and
difficult to understand, but readers will get a definite feel for how Wall
Street is ripping them off. Although
this book will piss people off, they will soon realize that there is no real
solution. A lot of very smart sociopaths
are finding their way to Wall Street, and like brilliant computer hackers,
neither security nor regulators can stop them. And
the way they see it, their job is to rip the rest of us off.
Weird Wally Wants to Know:
While using one of the public restrooms in a Denver area Whole Foods, WW
noticed the usual sign reminding employees to wash hands before leaving. Problem is, with Whole Food’s effort to
always conserve energy and water, it takes the water about twenty seconds to
come out in small streams for three or four seconds, before pausing for another
twenty. And so goes the water cycle in
that particular restroom. Been that way
for five years now and WW can’t help but wonder why no one has ever complained?
