Psst

Psst, Mr. Fauci, Halloween comes before Christmas.

Interesting study covered in an article by Patrick Reilly at nypost.com: “… those who have a dependence on marijuana, alcohol, cocaine, opioids and tobacco were more likely to contract the coronavirus despite receiving both vaccination shots… The chance of infection rose from 3.6% to 7%. Trouble is, what will the next study find?… A related headline: “High spirits: Weed company to sell THC ‘beverage enhancer’ kit in New York.” America has become a leftist’s paradise — and they’re still miserable!

No surprise in this NYP headline: “Delivery men accuse NYC of milking them with parking tickets during pandemic.” It always rankles me to see a traffic agent writing a ticket for a vehicle providing a valuable service to the neighborhood, especially given the fact that it will be moved within a half-hour at most.

Although I do not object to vaccine mandates, my gut tells me they’re wrong. That may be foolish, but not as foolish as the following seems, from an article by Jeremy Frankel at newsmax.com, edited by yours truly: An employee of Michigan St. U. has filed a lawsuit against the university. Having suffered the virus, she has antibodies, and her doctors say she doesn’t need the required vaccine. It’s probably a forlorn battle, but I hope she takes the school to the cleaners.

I haven’t purchased a Nike product in at least 15 years. Here’s a newsmax.com headline that ensures my personal boycott will continue: “GOP Slams Nike’s Decision to End Sales in Israel.” Will the company end sales in Russia, China or Iran?

Crystalline logic in this headline from foxnews.com: “Ben & Jerry’s co-founders stumped on why ice cream brand singles out Israel, continues to serve red states.” Kudos.

This FN headline speaks for itself: “New Superman will be revealed as bisexual in an upcoming DC Comics issue.” First issue: Rear Deliveries.

Good day for the floating book shop, no incoming, several outgoing, a much needed reduction in inventory. My thanks to the kind folks who bought. Here’s what sold: Prince of Fire a thriller by Daniel Silva, An Army at Dawn: The War in North Africa, 1942–1943 by Rick Atkinson; a Russian art pictorial; two young adult novels: Hoot by Carl Hiaasen and Maybe a Fox by Kathi Appelt and Alison McGhee; a Su Do Ku puzzle book; Remembering Jack: Intimate and Unseen Photographs of the Kennedys by Jacques Lowe; John F. Kennedy, Commander-in-Chief: A Profile in Leadership by Pierre Salinger and Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.; and this:
