The Sunday Bottom 5
A ranking of some things.
1. Alabama Crimson Tide – Ha!…First loss to Vanderbilt – Vanderbilt !!!- in 40 years heralds end of Nick Saban era and start of exciting, brave new world of Mike DuBose-esque mediocrity…Roll Tide.
2. Donald Trump – Still a lying sexual predator who believes the moon is part Mars…Still a convicted felon of no moral or intellectual substance…Still the GOP nominee for president…America can do better than this but is choosing not to.
3. USA! USA! – Retains SB5 3-hole staple status even after hiatus…Continues to give Donald Trump the time of day, which means – like him – it is now a country devoid of moral and intellectual substance…America’s whackjobs so incompetent now they can’t even conduct a decent assassination.
4. War! War! War! – Over 50 going on now worldwide right now, including World War III nicely forming in the Middle East…America currently involved in four (4), – none declared by Congress – a total that does include aid to Ukraine and Israel…No nation has survived perpetual war and the US will not be the first.

Q: Is Read Free Sunday (RFS) a thing today?
A: You bet it is.
The Diary of a Nobody – Sparrow takes some taser training at the hospital.
The taser is a weapon that gives the recipient a jolt of electricity sufficient to paralyze muscles tho not enuff to cause your heart to give out…Unless your heart is very weak to begin with, then you’re probably dead…

Extra, extra, read all about it.
In 1995 – A pair of Swiss astronomers discover the first planet orbiting another sun. The planet, 51 Pegasi b, was found orbiting the star 51 Pegasi in the constellation Pegasus. The planet is closer to its sun than Mercury is to our sun and takes about four days to complete a rotation. The planet is tidal-locked with its sun, meaning it orbits its star at the same speed it rotates on its axis and the same side faces its sun all time, a phenomenon shared with the moon regarding the Earth.
In 1969 – The Baltimore Orioles and the New York Mets win the first major league League Championship Series, with the Orioles defeating the Minnesota Twins in the American League and the Mets beating the Atlanta Braves in the National League, both in three games. It was the first of five LCS wins for both teams, with the Mets defeating the Orioles in the World Series in five games.
In 1962 – The Four Seasons are at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the fourth of five consecutive weeks with Sherry. It was the second of 30 Top 40 and 15 Top 10 hits for the group and was their second of five #1s. The song also went to #1 in Canada, New Zealand, and on Billboard’s soul chart, peaked at #8 in Great Britain, and – due to it charting late in the 1962 survey period – was Billboard’s 55th-biggest song of the year.
