Paul’s Daily Ration: 09/15/21

If you don’t read this blog every day we can’t be friends anymore.

Clearly, the Dems (also known as “They”) did another amazing job of rigging that recall election in California. So let me state this bluntly now, on The Ides of September, 2021. Any election lost by any Republican anywhere in 2020 was fraudulent, and the results must immediately and arbitrarily be overturned. Don’t let any of those Damn Leftists try to pull you into this “evidence” trap. Don’t you see? It’s all part of the Deep State Conspiracy. Having no evidence is PROOF that these elections were rigged! Having no evidence IS the evidence!

Let me get this straight. You mean to tell me that Al Qaeda is already rebuilding in Afghanistan and could be a genuine threat to us again in 1-2 years (or 15 minutes)? Hell, who coulda seen that coming? I don’t care how bad your day was yesterday. Antony Blinken had a worse one. “Wanna get away?”

But we should be ok. (Now singing dramatically, In the Style of Judy Garland.) “SomeWHERE…over the horizon!..” So, it’s all good. Chill.

Another screeching “Conservative” (they’re not really Conservatives, I keep telling you) anti-vaxxer, anti-mask, anti-science, anti-fact talk radio host has slipped the surly bonds and assumed room temperature. Yeah, you know, the virus that’s no worse than a mild cold, and besides, doesn’t really exist anyway, strikes again.

So if you aspire to be a “Conservative” talk radio host, just check the box that says “At least for now, alive and breathing, all by myself!” on your application and you’ll go right to the front of the queue. You’re currently on the power side of the old “supply and demand” equation.

Somewhere, Darwin is just shaking his head. Bless their hearts.

And it now appears that Dan Quayle was the Voice of Reason. So I’m gonna go shake my head. Bless my little heart.

663,913 Americans. And counting, still rapidly. One in every 500 U.S. residents has died—died—from COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Let that sink in. One in every 500 of us. You have to admit, that’s one deadly hoax. You know, as hoaxes go.

Now if I could just decide who’s smarter. Anthony Fauci? Or Nicki Minaj?

Paul's Bio

I clearly have the attention span of your median fruit fly.Look! Airplane!

Sorry. I’m back.

It’s both a curse and a blessing. I’ve never bought this stuff about, “He who dies with the most toys wins.” But I do think that a wide range of life experiences helps us grow as people, and helps us better relate to other people. I’ve been fortunate. And I am beyond grateful.

I show up on time. I go like hell. I’m a good listener. I hold myself accountable. I own my mistakes. And I have a natural and an insatiable curiosity. I’m never afraid to say, “I don’t know,” when I don’t. But then I try to find out.

The flip side is I’m a lousy ballroom dancer and my clothes sometimes fit me funny.

Stuff matters to me. I care. But while I take that stuff seriously, I try hard to never take myself seriously. As a result, I have sometimes been told, “Paul, it’s hard to tell when you’re serious and when you’re just having some fun. Which is it? Serious or fun?”

My answer is “yes.” But I think that is a legitimate criticism. I promise I’m going to work on that.

This has been the quickest and strangest half-century I’ve ever experienced. During that period, I’ve been afforded amazing opportunities in news and sports journalism across all platforms. I have taught wonderful students at the high school and collegiate level. Always, I learned more from them than they did from me. I’ve been a high school administrator. I spent ten seasons as a high school varsity football coach. I’ve been an advertising executive. I’ve hosted nationally syndicated television entertainment shows. In maybe the biggest honor I ever received, I was selected by NASA to be “Chet The Astronaut” for the “Land The Shuttle” simulator at Space Center Houston. (All I can say there, is “Do as I say, not as I do.” I put that thing in the Everglades more often than not.) Most recently, I just wrapped up a decade as a television news director, during which time our teams distinguished themselves in holding the powerful accountable, achieving both critical and ratings success.

What does all that mean? It means I am profoundly grateful. It also means I’m ready for “next.” So here we are. Radically Rational. It’s an idea I woke up with in 2017. I scribbled “Radically Rational” on a piece of notebook paper and used a magnet to stick it on our refrigerator. I saw it every day, and it just would not leave me alone.

I am second in charge at Radically Rational, LLC. My wife, Jo (also known as BB), is the president. Clearly, I have failed in my attempt to sleep my way to the top of this organization.

I hope you will learn that I’m loyal as a Labrador. But I will admit that this doggie can bite every now and then. My promise to you? I will show up on time. I will go like hell. I will listen to you earnestly and attentively. I will hold myself accountable. I will never be the least bit hesitant to say, “I don’t know,” when I don’t.

But then I’ll try to find out. Let’s do it.
