Bruce’s Ten Hot Takes for July 21, 2023

hot takes

Ohio’s Republican Governor says Vote No on Issue 1. Every once in a while Mike DeWine does the right thing.

If a Republican wins the 2024 presidential election, he will pardon Donald Trump.

Brown shoes should never be worn with blue dress pants.

My wife, Polly, makes the best potato salad.

Most meat comes from factory farms. If Americans toured such farms, they would become vegetarians overnight.

Yogi Bear was a capitalist, taking that which belonged to someone else for his own.

Current inflation is primarily caused by excessive price increases and not rising labor costs.

If you’ve seen one Indiana Jones movie, you have seen them all.

Capital punishment is state-sanctioned murder.

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis is a bigot, racist, and fascist.

Bonus: There should be a federal tax on bullets, much like the tax on cigarettes.

    Yogi Bear was a capitalist? Then “Rocky and Bullwinkle” was Cold War propaganda. (Think of Boris BADenov.)

    Oh, the messages in our childhood cartoons!

    (When I read “Don Quixote,” I immediately thought of Yogi (Don Q) and Boo-Boo (Sancho Panza.))

    I agree with all your hot takes, except I can’t be sure about Polly’s potato salad but I’m willing to take it on faith. 😉

    “My wife, Polly, makes the best potato salad.”

    Hmm…. the only way to be sure of that is to supply the recipe…. you know, for comparison…. 😉
