Way to go, Ags

Aggies 38, #5 LSU 23. A bad season ends on a high note, beating a ranked team, a rival, and probably knocking them out of the playoffs.

Black Friday bleak

“Across the U.S., shopping malls are seeing only thin crowds, according to reports in business media. Inflation and depressed consumer sentiment appear to have dampened the holiday shopping spirit.”

UPDATE: Not so online, however, with record-breaking online sales!

Charlie Chan

Is where I got the moniker #1 son for the Aggie. Charlie used to call his three (?) sons by number. It’s a joke, considering I have but the one son. I watched the Charlie Chan detective movies from the 1920s in black-n-white on TV in the 1950s. Nowadays they’re considered racist (because the actor who played Charlie wasn’t Chinese) but the creators had aimed for an anti-racist theme, with a Chinese hero instead of the Yellow Peril Chinese villain common in the 20s.

Rule 5: Ellana Bryan

Adios Crazy Nancy

“Nancy Pelosi’s classless act of ripping up (a copy of) President Trump’s SOTU speech (while he was giving it) defines her dishonorable legacy as Speaker. Nobody is more responsible for the polarization of US politics. Her lies, vicious smears, pious hypocrisy and corrupt personal enrichment top off a shameful tenure.” —NY Post journalist Miranda Devine

She’s not the first corrupt speaker and probably won’t be the last. But she was vicious.

Artemis on the way to the moon

“The sky turned from dark to light as the Space Launch System blasted with 8.8 million pounds of thrust taking off at 1:47 a.m. from KSC’s Launch Pad 39-B to become the most powerful rocket to ever successfully launch into space.

“For once I might be speechless,” said NASA launch director Charlie Blackwell-Thompson to her team. “This is your moment. … You are part of a first. We are all part of something incredibly special, the first launch of Artemis, the first step of returning our country to the moon and onto Mars. … The harder the climb, the better the view. We showed the Space Coast tonight what a beautiful view it is.”

The student debt shuck

“Student debt forgiveness is one of the reasons young voters voted Democrat Tuesday.”

Lyin’ Biden knew all along his election ploy was a shuck that would never happen. Now he’ll just forget about it. He didn’t mind wasting court time and, indeed, two federal judges have ruled his legislation-by-the-executive was unconstitutional. On to his next boondoggle.
