Editor’s Note: Gaylon is working on a project and most elements of The Daily Dose – Leading Off, The Sunday Bottom 5, On This Date, Some Philosophy Crap, Trivia – are either on hiatus or running intermittently. Your full-service Daily Dose will return later this summer.
The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. 25,000 – The number, in years, of documented time spent behind bars by Americans for crimes they did not commit…Blacks, of course, accounted for 58% of lost years while 183 people spent at least 25 years wrongly imprisoned…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” entire nation should hang head in shame, but nobody save for a few fringe elements seem to care…Source: National Registry of Exonerations.
2. Juneteenth– New national holiday commemorates the end of slavery in US but, like 4th of July, commemorates event that didn’t happen on day celebrated, as slavery continued in Delaware and Kentucky until ratification of 13th Amendment a few months later…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters “pretty sure” knowledge of crap like this “more or less” explains why they don’t get invited to many parties.
3. Lauren Daigle – Single You Say back in runner-up spot on Billboard Hot Christian Singles chart, after Billboard all-chart record 130 non-consecutive weeks at #1…Song remains in pitched battle with Crowder’s Good God Almighty, now in its second week at top…You Say first released almost three years ago and has spent 149 weeks on chart which – almost incredibly – is 42 weeks less than Oceans by Hillsong United.
4. Donald Trump Supporters – Former president remains a lying sexual predator who believes the moon is part of Mars…And that the Revolution was won by the securing of British airports…Sunday Bottom 5 pollsters still asking Trump supporters which of those elements continues to solidify their support.
5. Head Of State Fact Check – Click here for inaccuracies from both US President Biden and Russian President Vladimir Putin. From the Associated Press.
Today At The Site
Writing worth reading. Usually.
The Diary of a Nobody – At the hotel, Sparrow makes someone weep. Today’s Diary.
…so when a young lady came in asking if we had anything, I was obliged to tell her no…This caused her to start weeping…I am not making that up and there was some zero clue why…Maybe she was ordered to produce a room under penalty of death or maybe this was her first time facing a night of homelessness, but she was starting in on a nice, childish tantrum as she walked out.
Some Philosophy Crap
The wisdom of the ages. Whatever.
…you cannot blame a mirror for what it shows.
