Looking for a Christmas present for the Trump-hater in your life? In a fun op-ed piece in today's NY Post, Kyle Smith points out how many in the bustling economy are cashing in on anti-Trump products. Ben and Jerry, those two capitalists posing as socialists living in the second whitest state in the nation, have created a new flavor - Resist, which consists of chocolate ice cream, pecans, walnuts, fudge-covered almonds and white and dark fudge chunks. Smith says: "Be Antifa, not antifat." Other items: Lingua Franca's $380 cashmere sweater that reads: “I miss Barack” or “beat the system.” Ruth Bader Ginsburg T-shirts in which she is flipping the bird with each hand; Monogram Studio's “Resist persist insist” T-shirt, only $65; Society 6's $70 shower curtain reading, in huge letters: “SUPPORT 25TH AMENDMENT,” which states that a president may be removed from office if he is unable to discharge his duties; CafePress' thong reading “Anti-Trump AF”; Etsy's panties reading “Dump Trump.” Viva capitalism, which works even for leftists who want to replace it with socialism.
Also in the Post: a study by Rockefeller University and the U of Basel, Switzerland has found that all humans are descendants of a couple who lived 100,000-200,000 years ago. They survived a catastrophic event that almost wiped out the entire human race.
RIP magician/actor/writer Ricky Jay, 70, Brooklyn boy, great entertainer. There are 39 titles under his name as an actor at IMDb, and five as a writer. He also took his skills to theater, mesemerizing audiences. A historian of magic, there are ten books listed in his name at Wiki. He lectured at Harvard and USC. He is the subject of the feature documentary Deceptive Practice: The Mysteries and Mentors of Ricky Jay (2012), directed by Molly Bernstein. He and Michael Weber ran Deceptive Practices, a consulting firm that advised movie, TV and theater directors on various illusions, magic secrets, and con artistry techniques. He was the curator of the Mulholland Library of Conjuring and the Allied Arts. He was a master with playing cards. He is listed in the Guiness Book of World Records for having throw one 190 feet at 90 MPH. From ten paces he can plunk one into the flesh of a watermelon. He was great fun. Thank you, sir.
It's not surprising that Michigan again lost to Ohio St., but the margin of victory, 62-39, was shocking, especially since the Wolverines had been playing stellar defense. The loss knocked them out of the Big Ten title game. Jim Harbaugh has lost all four of his games against the school's
arch-rival. Will that lead to his ouster despite a 38-13 overall record at his alma mater? I would be surprised if he's not fired. The Buckeyes seemed vulnerable this year. I bet the Maize and Blue's alumni are very unhappy. The wolves are at the door.
My thanks to the odd couple who bought an Atkins diet book in paperback. He was tall and stout, she short and petite. He looked Irish. She spoke to him in Spanish.
