Louisiana Congressman Dr. Ralph Abraham, along with Texas Dr. Richard Bartlett, discuss their success with inhaled corticosteroid for their COVID-19 patients with Debbie Georgatos on her TV program, "American, Can We Talk?" The video is hosted on YouTube, so watch it while you can.

Well, she seems pretty certain.

Apparently we're very lucky the H1N1 virus was only lethal enough to kill 12,000 Americans, because it infected 60 million of them during the Obama-Biden administration in 2009. That's 54 million more than COVID-19. Where would we be if Biden was President in January of 2020? Would he have repeated the same mistakes? https://cnsnews.com/index.php/blog/john-jakubisin/levin-60-million-americans-got-swine-flu-obama-and-biden-stopped-testing?fbclid=IwAR3EHYA1KAUR4CthIk1J7ypOxKGKh1NkDyvMh1opiIS9JHnf0CISsUwdyF8

From a college radio/WPTR buddy, who says,

This is a real jewel. It's a flashback to my time as a Top 40 Disc Jockey at a 50,000 watt radio station, WPTR back in the early 70s. Yes, I was there with Boom Boom Brannigan. This was an in house spoof done by 4 DJs at a radio station in Middletown NY. It quickly spread (pre internet) like wild fire around the Top 40 radio world. Because it really captured the burgeoning industry of analysts and brainiacs trying to figure out the radio format that would suck you the listener in. Plus it captures all the quirky subculture of being a Top 40 Radio DJ. Echo chambers, stupid patter. Throwing your voice such that it sounds like a strangled chicken. And my favorite which you won't get unless you were there. When you start a turntable, it makes a big thump sound over air, so you have to have the volume pot down. Doing otherwise was a Top 40 Radio DJ no-no. So on with the fun, back to the good old days of Top 40 AM radio.

Today's flying fun of the manned aircraft variety. My apologies for the wiggly video. Although I know how to fly an airplane, it turns out I don't know how to operate a suction cup camera mount.

As an engineer (and DJ), here's my take on masks. First, have a look at this: https://www.edcmag.com/best-face-masks-for-virus-protection/. The video at its very bottom has outdated stats on how many are or have been infected, but summarizes pretty well what the various types of masks can and can't do. Basically, respirator/masks like the N95 and P100 are the only ones that will protect *you* in an environment where virus may be present. Other types, like surgical masks, do not protect you. They may or may not help protect other people from you in case you are infected.

If I'm in public where I'm likely to have people closer to me than six feet, I wear an N95 mask. I've also used the R95 mask, which has identical protection to the N95 mask, but also handles oily particles. As a selfish capitalist, my first interest is protecting myself. Frankly, I think everyone should think the same way. But requiring everyone to think the same way as I do would make me a liberal, right? :-) Wearing a surgical mask or cloth face covering might protect others from me, but why shouldn't they be responsible for their own protection? If they're wearing an ineffective mask, or none at all, they're exercising their freedom to be unconcerned about their own health. Even in a pandemic, this is still America. Protect yourself. Encourage but don't force others to protect themselves, too. The whole idea of wearing a mostly ineffective cloth face covering as a societal responsibility as if we are in a Woodstock utopia is just a bad idea. And, as we've seen, there is a fair number of people eschewing flowers in their hair and masks of any kind. If we're going to use government force to prevent those folks from catching the virus and bringing it home to their elders, let's force them to wear masks that are actually effective against the virus.

This article also points to the CDC Web site for it's mask and other recommendations. Oddly, as this is posted, it goes on at length about cloth face coverings, and still recommends not wearing masks intended for health care workers, whatever those may be. My N95 masks came from a former employer who handed them out to its employees after Hurricane Katrina.

If you're trying to figure out whether or not to wear a mask, as of today (5/29/2020), the CDC says everyone should wear a mask. But the W.H.O. says only sick people (or folks caring for sick people) should wear them. Since Trump just pulled the US out of the W.H.O. today, if you're a Trump-hater, perhaps you should support the W.H.O. by not wearing a mask (if you're healthy). That is all.

I'm posting this for two reasons. First, I saw an ad on TV yesterday (and on many other days) asking for money to "help" polar bears. If you feel they need help, by all means, donate.

Second, as a shareholder, I want Facebook to get out of the slimy fact-checking and censorship business. Either that, or just start running your own ads and editorials advancing your political positions. Let your customers post theirs, untouched. I suppose another option would be to go out of business entirely, but I'd like a little advance warning on that if that is what you decide to do. :-) https://wattsupwiththat.com/2020/05/20/climatefeedback-review-of-prageru-video-challenges-good-news-on-polar-bears/

WaPo headline this morning on MSN: "Why so many people are getting sick nearly 7 weeks into the shutdown." I don't know what they say because I refuse to subscribe or give them my email address. But I'm going to suggest it's because we flattened the curve without necessarily changing the area underneath it. Just as many people may get sick with COVID-19, just later than they would have without the shutdown. Add to that the number of people who will get sick and die from blocked routine medical care for other problems, as well as poverty, a known killer, all resulting from economic destruction.

From today's Rock 'n' Roll Almanac:

48 years ago (1972)--WIXO signs on in New Orleans at 98.5 FM. After a minute or so of elevator music played as an April Fool’s joke, Johnny Winter screams “Rock ’n’ roll!” and the station launches into its format, supposedly a cross between the AM Top 40 of the then #1 station WTIX, and WRNO, the album-oriented FM rocker. Thus, the call letters, WIXO. But with only 54 kilowatts of power from atop the short WVOG antenna tower near the Huey Long Bridge, signal coverage suffers, and the station goes dark less than 2-1/2 years later. https://jdthedj.com/Almanac

From the late 60's, I vaguely remember Ampex creating a floppy magnetic disc audio recording machine. It used discs akin to those in an 8" floppy disc, but without a jacket. You just toss them into the bed of the machine and you could then record or play back an analog audio recording. Ampex loaned us a machine for evaluation at WRPI. If I recall, they tended to "skip," and handling the jacketless media without getting fingerprints all over them was a problem. Ampex apparently never went into production with them. They're not mentioned at the Ampex History page (https://www.ampex.com/ampex-history/) Am I hallucinating this, or does anyone else here remember seeing one?

Hmmmmm. 1995. The middle of the Clinton Administration. From today's Rock 'n' Roll Almanac:

25 years ago (1995)--Philip Taylor Kramer, bassist for Iron Butterfly in the 70’s and now working in the computer industry, drives to Los Angeles International Airport to pick up an investor. He spends 45 minutes at the airport but fails to meet the investor. He does make a flurry of cell phone calls, including one to the police during which he says, “I’m going to kill myself.” He’s never heard from again. After a massive search, many news reports, and talk show segments including an episode of The Oprah Winfrey Show, America's Most Wanted, The Unexplained, Unsolved Mysteries and others, his skeleton is found in 1999 in a car wreck at the bottom of Decker Canyon near Malibu, California.

A drunk nearby responded, “After 'while, crocodile.” The song soon followed, and he sang it over the phone to a Chess Records producer, winning a recording contract on the spot.

I got to wondering about Elizabeth Warren's wealth tax today. It's an annual tax on wealth, not income. If the value of your net worth exceeds the threshold ($10 million, I think, at least until they decide to lower it to get more revenue), you'd pay something like 2% of it every year, until your estate's value fell below the threshold. You presumably already paid the income tax on all that wealth; now, you just pay the extra 2% on it every year.

So a wealth tax is a direct tax on what is now your property (your net worth). The 16th amendment excluding income taxes from the Constitution's apportionment requirement does not apply to the wealth tax. As a direct tax, the Constitution says it must be apportioned. As it turns out, that's really tough to do for anything but a pure per capita tax (say, $10 per person). Attempting to tax only wealthy people and apportion it by state population would get really messy. A little Web research seems to confirm this. https://thefederalist.com/2019/08/08/heres-elizabeth-warrens-wealth-tax-completely-unconstitutional/

Joe Biden to "60 Minutes": "If I'm elected President, my children will not have offices in the White House."

Me: "Well, if we can't trust your kids in the White House, why should we trust their father there?"

After you read the article, I'll point out that the Internal Revenue Code does not define "income" either. :-) https://www.msn.com/en-us/autos/news/does-tire-rotation-include-tightening-lug-nuts-michigan-court-thinks-about-it-for-awhile-concludes-no/ar-AAJcuaB?ocid=spartanntp

Hey, Joe Biden! Don't apologize! You didn't use the wrong word. It was correct when you used it in a political analogy years ago, and it was correct when Trump used it the same way just the other day.

When I look it up on the Internet today, it is defined exactly as I remember it always being defined:

lynching
n.
The act of executing lynch-law upon a person; the killing of a person by a mob under pretense of summary justice.
n.
Execution of a person by mob action without due process of law, especially hanging
n.
Any act of violence inflicted by a mob upon the body of another person.

Choose any online dictionary you like. Invariably. the definition you find will not specify that the lynching victim be any particular race.

Now it's apparently true that more black folks have been lynched than any other race. But the 11 lynched Italian-Americans from 'Little Palermo," the nickname for New Orleans' French Quarter in 1891, are just as dead as any black lynching victim.

Both Joe Biden and Donald Trump used the word "lynching" in an analogy. Donald Trump has not actually been hung by an angry impeachment mob. But if he were, he would be just as dead as any lynched black man, and the act would be just as horrifying. That is how analogies work.

The redefinition of words is a favorite political tactic, and it irritates the hell out of me! You'll not eliminate words from my vocabulary by redefining them.

Miss Davis, my high school biology teacher, taught a pilot biology course. It was called "Blue Biology" for some reason. I, of course, hoped the "blue" was akin to "blue" movies of the time, but alas... In any case, because it was a new course, Miss Davis had to make up her own quizzes and tests. They were usually multiple choice, and invariably she would produce a question or two offering more than one correct choice. We'd spend much of the next class period arguing and convincing her she had to accept either correct answer and regrade our tests. I doubt she's still around, but, even posthumously, I hope she'll be glad I think of her whenever I see or read about Darwin and biology. And according to this video, there may be more than one correct answer to evolution.
