A little of this and a little of that

 Disgraced ambulance chaser Silly Sidney Powell is whining about being labeled "a dangerous lunatic" as she fights a defamation suit filed last year for pushing falsehoods about the 2020 election. File this under "reaping what you sow".

Farron Cousins explains:


Do yourself a favor. Retire.
===============================================
You've heard about the Canadian truckers who blocked some important roadways connecting Canada to the US last week. These anti-vaccine geeks are, of course, getting support from right wing geeks here in the US, including Prince Pillow himself, Mike Lindell, who is sending some of his MyPillow pillows to the Canadians. 

Get a clue, eh? You've been misled by these right wing hosers, so take the jab and take off, eh?
===============================================
Prior to the Super Bowl, right wing morons were claiming the halftime show, starring Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and Mary J. Blige, was supposedly satanic in content. No, it wasn't. Even conservative host Candace Owens liked the show, from what I'm reading.

Snoop, who, as reported in brief the other day, recently purchased Death Row Records, and Dre in particular, were representing the home state (California). You have Eminem, one of Detroit's own, reprising his 2002 hit, "Lose Yourself", from "8 Mile", then taking a knee in support of former San Francisco QB Colin Kaepernick, who's still blackballed from the league, even though the demagogue partially responsible for said blackballing, isn't pestering the league anymore because he doesn't have a power base. If you don't know who that is, you haven't been paying attention the last 5 1/2 years.

While Owens was digging, her followers weren't. Go figure.
===============================================
You know things are bad in WWE these days when a rumor starts circulating that one of the matches being talked about for Wrestlemania (April 2-3) in Arlington would have Canada's Kevin Owens (nee Steen) taking on Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, who hasn't had a match since 2003.

We get it. Vince McMahon wants coverage of the "Show of Shows" on Entertainment Tonight, Access Hollywood, Extra, et al, in addition to SportsCenter, and he doesn't care how his paying customers feel about it. It's all about those headlines as much as it is the revenue coming out of the event, the 2nd one to take place at AT&T Stadium in 4 years. However, coaxing Austin out of retirement is not the answer. Matching Owens with a rising star, like, for example, Austin Theory, who's already beaten Owens on TV, makes more sense.

Commentators on Reddit are already saying it's more than likely not going to be a match, but a meeting of the minds, if ya will, leading to Owens eating a Stone Cold Stunner, which he himself has adopted as a finisher the last few years to save wear & tear on his knees, as opposed to a pop-up version of the powerbomb. Ring of Honor fans will recall that Owens used the F-5 (or, as they say in Quebec, F-Cinque), but he can't use that in WWE. Why? Two words. Brock. Lesnar. 'Nuff said.

Count me among those seeing an in-ring skit between Austin & Owens. For both their sakes.
