The Schloss-Blog is noticing that fans in Kansas City really would give an arm and a leg for their Chiefs. OK, fingers and toes, but really... And why is Joe Biden so unpopular when the economy is so good?

Are you loyal enough to give an arm and a leg for your team?
Some Kansas City Chiefs fans who attended the team's Jan. 13 home playoff game against the Miami Dolphins have had fingers and toes amputated as a result of sitting through the game's below-zero temperatures and wind chills of some minus-26 degrees.
Really.
The exact number of fans who suffered amputations is not clear, but it happened, the Medical Research Center of Kansas City reported to the NY Times.
Are you that loyal to your team? I don't know about you, but I would've watched the whole game - from my living room.

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) officers and personnel have all been gotten rid of at the University of Florida and apparently will be throughout the state's university system.
Doesn't it make you want to send your kids and grandkids to school there?
In other words though, the state of Florida doesn't believe in diversity, equity and inclusion, although the state is saying it's getting rid of it to promote equity and purge anything that promotes unfair bias.
Maybe they should start with the governor.

Congress is considering a ban on TikTok in this country.
Maybe those old, gray-haired, technophobes should learn what the heck it is first.

While the United States economy continues to sparkle, Joe Biden's popularity rating (33% approval) continues to plummet.
Pew found 44% of Democrats find the economy to be performing extremely well and more than 25% of Americans overall (yes, Republicans continue to pull the rating down).
How are you doing, Elmo wants to know.
I'm pretty good - but if you believe in Trump, you are likely responding, "pretty bad."
Well, Trump's finances aren't too good, are they, what with all the money he owes E. Jean Carroll and the state of New York.

Katie Britt used that disgusting survivor story in her SOTU response despite it being totally misleading.
A bigger problem was that Britt mislead about the story instead of describing what she was doing something about it - which is nothing, like the rest of the Republicans in Congress.
Republicans are like your ex - complained and complained and did nothing about it.

There are some 650,000 homeless people in America, as of 2023.
SIX-HUNDRED FIFTY-THOUSAND. It's a record high number and a double-digit percentage increase from 2022.
New York City and Los Angeles have one quarter of that, combined, and more than half are in our 50 largest cities.
Or as Bill Maher calls LA, "Tentsville."
America has done little or nothing for these people.
And will undoubtedly do even less going forward.

Lynn Pattison passed away on March 7. I worked with her at Barrington Press for 7 years. She was a bulldog of a reporter who produced quality work.
And was a quality person.
RIP, Lynn. You'll be missed,

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Lynn Pattison.
More Sunday night on my Radio Free Phoenix rock 'n' roll show.
