Key West Lou / MSNBC ON SELLING BLOCK

The Wall Street Journal announced tuesday, with other media picking up on it yesterday, that Comcast is planning on selling most of its cable TV network, including MSNBC. Streaming appears to be dramatically affecting cable TV.

It would therefore appear that Joe and Mika’s recent visit to Trump saturday at Mar-a-Lago was in contemplation of a proposed sale. Not to Trump. Will Joe and Mika still have jobs if and when a sale becomes fact? Will they still earn $8 million each per year as they presently are paid?

I can understand their Trump visit under the circumstances.

A bit of politics next.

The last person determining our medical needs should be Robert F. Kennedy Jr. A medical expert he is not. He also is not his father, uncle or grandfather. He tends to be on the whacky side.

Vaccinations are an example. He is opposed to them. I believe in vaccinations. Get all the recommended shots. One of the things that probably have helped me reach 89.

The measles vaccination was not available when I was young. I got the measles. We all did. Some suffered bad reactions. One was a male 3 yar old cousin in Stamford, Connecticut. He got the measles and ended up totally deaf.

Kennedy is opposed to the measles vaccination.

The Matt Gaetz inquiry is getting more dangerous for him with each passing day. It appears he may have had sex with a minor. Seventeen years old is considered a minor. Referred to as statutory rape. Consent by the female no defense.

Now it comes out he may have paid roughly $10,000 to two young ladies, one of them the 17 yar old, to have sex and engage in drugs at parties. Parties where he did whatever was going on.

Attorney General quality he is not.

An interesting observation. Bob Woodward says Trump gave “the finger to the American people” with his Cabinet picks.

A Kareem Abdul-Jabbar observation: “Trump picks a fellow alleged sex predator to bring justice to the U.S.”

Trump has selected Dr. Oz to oversee Medicare, Medicaid and the Affordable Care Act. He will oversee benefits to 160 million Americans. Beware, he will cut benefits. Trump wrote Oz will “get the best results for every dollar we spend.”

A touch of Key West.

The Rose Tattoo was a 1955 movie filmed in Key West. Starred Burt Lancaster and Anna Magnani. Magnani was awarded the Academy Award for Best Performance by a Woman for her role.

The film’s final scenes were filmed this day in 1954 at the Mardi Gras Club on Duval Street.

The Rose Tattoo had many “contacts” with Key West. The house where most of the filming was done is located on Duncan Street. Two or three doors from the home of Tennessee Williams. Williams originally write The Rose Tattoo as a three act play which was performed on Broadway. He wrote the movie script also. Burt Lancaster stayed in Williams’ home while making the movie. The Rose Tattoo and Williams home are 2 blocks from Lisa’s Duncan Street home.

The issue of bikinis on Key West beaches appeared in this morning’s Citizens’ Voice. I do not understand it.

The commentor wrote: “Will the new city commission repeal their misogynistic public dress code?” Reference was to bikinis on our beaches.

Forced me to do some research. I was unaware of the prohibition.

All I could come up with was that in 1990 the State of Florida adopted a law prohibiting bikinis. Except for a 30 mile stretch of beach, no one pays attention to it. Key West could care less.

This old man enjoys sitting on a beach chair and watching the thonged and bikinied ladies walk by. I am a bit of a pervert. A voyeur at heart.

I recall many years ago renting chairs for my wife and I to sun ourselves on Smathers Beach. As I was walking to a spot, we passed two bare assed women laying on towels. Total nudity! My eyes were glued on them as we approached, reached and then passed them. I kept my eyes on the ladies and not where I was going.

My head and a bent over palm tree came into contact. I ended up in the hospital. My wife thought it was funny. I did, too.

Syracuse plays Texas in basketball tonight in the Legends Classic at Barclays in Brooklyn. I planned on watching at Brady’s Irish Pub. Will not. Spent most of last night awake again with my back bothering me. Don’t think I could stand the sitting or standing at Brady’s.

I did neurophysiotherapy again yesterday morning. Left the table hurting more than when I first got on. Beginning to wonder.

Enjoy your day!
