Iran's Nukes and The 14-Year Auto Itch

The Schloss-Blog has noticed that Iran still has nuclear capability, regardless of what Trump says.

So we dropped all these bombs, including bunker busters, on Iran's supposed nuclear production facilities.

Did they do any good?

Maybe.

Supposedly.

Probably.

Perhaps.

Estimates by our own intelligence agencies say not as much as the Trump administration would have us believe. Apparently, the Iranians were able to move much of their production capacity away from their strongholds.

Or did they?

We don't know. Intel says maybe. Probably. Perhaps. Supposedly. Trump and his acolyte appointees say Iran was obliterated.

Not so fast, say Trump's own intelligence agencies. 

Of course, it's probably not such a good idea to use the words "Trump" and "intelligence" in the same sentence.

This just in: the Supreme Court has ruled that Trump can pick his nose in public.

Why not? They let him otherwise do everything else in plain sight.

The average car in the United States is 14 years old.

Yes, it has been bar mitzvah'ed. 

But people are holding onto their cars longer and longer, what with the price of both new and used cars and the cost to finance the purchase of the one or the other.

The economy is not good.

Did you watch the NBA Finals, especially game 7, as Oklahoma City won the championship?

More important than that win was what else happened during that game - the announcement that KD - Kevin Durant - had been traded by the Phoenix Suns to the Houston Rockets for two mediocre players and some draft picks.

So what was the bigger story that night: Oklahoma City winning the title or Durant being traded?

Yeah, that's what I thought too.

Have you seen Sabrina Carpenter's album cover?

No, the old one (https://www.instagram.com/p/DKxDWGBxybt/?img_index=1)

Two things I'm tired of: the number of pitchers about whom it is reported have had Tommy John surgery (it's a badge of honor) ... and ... the number of times I've seen Tyrese Haliburton slamming his fist on the court, laying prone after tearing his Achilles Tendon.

Enough.

Sleeper cells have supposedly been awakened in the United States in the wake of the U.S. bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities.

Wait, they woke up Mitch McDonnell?

Good night, Mrs. Calabash. Here's to you, Erika Hatcher.
