A Lesson To Be Learned: All the pundits and law professors I heard said it might take weeks to select the twelve jurors and six alternates for the Donald Trump Hush Moola Trial.

In spite of what the experts said.
A lot of folks are sending me their lists of what should have been on that list of important comedy albums…and some of their lists have thirty or forty entries. If the folks who picked the 13 had been able to pick that many, I'm sure many or most of those additional names would be on it. My trouble with the list is not that So-and-So was left off. It's that it's only thirteen records. No matter who makes the selections, if they can only pick thirteen, they're going to leave off a lot of deserving So-and-So's.

I saw an item on the news about how the Red Lobster restaurant chain is in serious financial trouble. The guy saying this launched into a long explanation about finances that I didn't fully understand but he seemed to be saying that the chain was losing money because they were offering Endless Shrimp and people kept coming in and eating Endless Shrimp. If that is indeed the problem, I just might have a solution for it.
