• Healthy Living reports a study revealing married men live longer than single men due to better nutrition, home care during illness and healthier habits. I stayed single, but although I'm healthy, I still have a person who phones and checks on me every day. He is very interested in my car warranty.
• The World War II Memorial in Washington marks the eightieth anniversary of America's war entry Tuesday. This week in Germany, a World War II bomb exploded without warning, seventy-six years after it had been dropped on Munich, the birthplace of the Nazi Party. It's a Hanukkah miracle.
• L.A. Police are on alert over a string of robberies in West Hollywood and Beverly Hills. An ATM robber robbed me of nine hundred dollars cash Friday. I good-naturedly offered to make it an even thousand and he pointed out that anything over nine hundred and fifty dollars is against the law.
• ABC Good Morning America host George Stephanopoulos interviewed Alec Baldwin Tuesday about accidentally shooting his cinematographer while they were filming a Western on location in New Mexico. Baldwin claimed he did not pull the trigger. He's in L.A. this week for the O.J. Awards.
• ABC News was ripped for the easy softball interview given by George Stephanopoulos to Alec Baldwin, who claimed he didn't pull the trigger of the gun that killed his cinematographer. It's almost like he has a brother working at CNN. No wait, that was the other guy who didn't do anything.
• Coca-Cola admits that the supply chain back-up and shortage of drivers is slowing delivery of Coke to stores. The soft drink was an immediate sensation one hundred-twenty years ago when it contained sugar, chocolate and cocaine. It explains why people walked around so fast in silent movies.
• The Supreme Court debated when life begins Wednesday in arguments over Mississippi's law restricting abortions. Politicians on both sides whipped up supporters to the point of threatening civil war. Politicians are just like sperm, about one in a million turn out to be an actual human being.
• Fox News noted there's no interest in enforcing a forty-five-year-old law requiring that the U.S. convert to the metric system to comply with the world. Who does the world think it is? There are two types of countries, those who use the metric system and those who've landed a man on the moon.
• Car and Driver magazine reported Tuesday the new Lincoln SUV is enjoying huge sales for the Ford Motor Company. Ford will reportedly add another SUV to their line called the Lincoln Riley. It only goes West, it's got a burgundy and gold interior, with a box of Trojans in the back seat.
• Dr. Fauci went back on the warpath ignoring assurances that the Omicron virus is mild from the South African virologist who just discovered it. Fauci didn't dismiss the future possibility of the U.S. going back on lockdown. I've just booked my two week Christmas vacation in Puerto Backyardia.
• The White House led the media in banging the alarm over the Omicron variant even though it was found to be mild and with few symptoms. The orchestrated panic makes me think somebody sold short. The stock market's been dropping this week like it just went out for drinks with Bill Cosby.
• The Omicron variant arrived in San Francisco from South Africa Tuesday. If you are keeping score, the Omicron variant came to the U.S. from Africa and AIDS came to the U.S. from Africa and the Ebola virus came to the U.S. from Africa. For crying out loud, what did we ever do to Africa?
• CBS News quoted virologists warning that the new Omicron Variant could reach Los Angeles within the week. Well if that's true, I know from long experience in Hollywood that the Omicron Variant needs to slow down. It's not going anywhere in this town until it gets head shots and an agent.
• Los Angeles Lakers star and China apologist LeBron James is out for at least ten games under the league's Covid protocols after testing positive. LeBron had no past wild living to build up his immunity. Covid tried to enter my nose last year but was shot down for violating Colombian airspace.
• President Biden addressed reporters in the White House Wednesday where he painted a rosy picture of his administration's progress in the battle against high prices at the pump. Last week, Biden announced he was releasing the gas reserve. It prompted the Royal Family to say, not again, Joe.
• CNN suspended Chris Cuomo for trying to dig up dirt on the women staffers who accused his brother Governor Andrew Cuomo of unwanted sexual advances. None of the women staffers said yes to the governor. It looks like the only person Andrew Cuomo actually screwed was Chris Cuomo.
• Gold's Gyms in L.A. reported a surge in membership this fall as people come out of pandemic isolation to get back in shape. It takes discipline at first to switch from sloth to a healthy daily regimen. It's funny how eight glasses of water a day is so difficult but eight glasses of beer is so easy.
• The Wall Street Journal rated the best books on etiquette and George Washington's Rules on Civil Conduct was near the top. We all have our pet peeves when it comes to rude behavior. I just hate it whenever I am texting and I'm rudely interrupted by some cyclist bouncing off my windshield.
• Ohio was rated the top state for outside home Christmas decorations in a national survey last week. It factored in lights, lit up lawn figurines and percent of lawns all lit up. I leave my lights on and blinking for weeks after Christmas and people driving by just assume it's a Chinese restaurant.
• Psychology Today reports the pandemic-driven switch to Zoom meetings is wearing on people's nerves and eroding social safeguards. Last week, a tenured professor was fired for masturbating while giving a lecture to his college students at Fordham. I'm just grateful he wasn't at Morehead.
