It’s Wednesday. Meet Congressional candidate Martin Hyde. Martin was stopped on February 14th by a Florida Police officer for speeding and texting. He did not like this. He quickly became disrespectful, uncooperative, and threatened to end the career of the officer, saying “You are making career decisions.” He added, “I’ll just call the Chief. You know who I am, right?” But the officer did not relent and issued three tickets.

It’s entitled pricks like Martin Hyde who believe they’re above the law and use their status to destroy others, in this case a police officer just doing her job.

But not this time. This time it was all recorded on the officer’s bodycam. After the footage received national exposure, Martin Hyde issued an apology and said he was ending his campaign for Congress. Imagine how differently this could’ve gone without the footage? A morally bankrupt asshole like Martin Hyde, and those like him who attempt to use their status to avoid/influence the law, should be permanently barred from holding office in any state.

Keep, Yeo I am pleased to say my snow blower contributed to this snow bank, and the neighborhood kids decorated it. Looks cute. Better than that Vette you featured yesterday. -Dave

It’s Monday. Had a nice relaxing Sunday. Took the dog out for a run in the park before catching the Nascar race in Fontana, California. Got out some tasty goodies, kicked back, and enjoyed the race. And a damn good race it was! When it was all said & done, it was the reigning Cup Series champion Kyle Larson who took the checkers. It was his first win of the season and his second at Fontana. Next week is Vegas, baby!

Switching gears…

I heard that the world’s largest aircraft, the Antonov AN-225, was destroyed during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Apparently it was parked at an airfield near Kyiv when it was attacked by the Russians. Ukrainian authorities say they will rebuild the plane. Sadly, the loss of innocent Ukrainian lives cannot be rebuilt. What a senseless fucked up situation. I only hope that somehow, some way, and someday soon, Putin feels pain equal to what he’s caused the Ukrainian people.
