All Kinds

Headline from nypost.com: “30 ex-FBI agents stand up to support whistleblower who exposed agency’s political bias.” Great, but will it lead anywhere? Then there’s this counterpoint from foxnews.com: “FBI allegedly engaging in ‘purge’ of conservative employees, retaliating against whistleblowers: Jim Jordan.” These are astonishing times.

It takes all kinds to make a world. NYP headline: “Insane Floridians swim, get pummeled by wild waves in ocean during Hurricane Ian.” Photo from Google Images:

And then there’s this headline: “I’m leaving my boyfriend — so we went on a ‘breakup vacation’ together.” Did they split 50–50 on the tab?

NYP headline: “New Alzheimer’s drug slows disease in major clinical trial: ‘Blockbuster potential’.” Going daft is my greatest fear. According to the accompanying article by Alex Mitchell: “…Patients taking the drug, known as lecanemab, showed a 27% decrease in cognitive decline compared to a control group.” It’s a product of Biogen, whose stock yesterday went from $73 to $270. At least some bulls are making money.

Speaking of which, here’s a gem, albeit a painful one, from Gary Varvel:
