Love the baby beluga song!
Although I’ve become increasingly disillusioned with him, I still give him a bit of a pass on stuff like this … he’s speaking from the position of an epidemiologist. Yup, if you want to keep stuff from spreading, you’re going to want to take precautions in places where viral concentrations are … enhanced.
On the other hand, if they’re not N95’s, they’d do little good. Not measurable.
But the whole lack of balancing risk assessment with living a normal life … it’s gotten lost over the last 2 years. Omicron really is “just a flu”, and it’s the dominant strain on the planet now. Plus we have vaccines. It’s an endemic disease now. Let’s just get on with life.
Thanks for reminding me of my biggest complaint about the Avengers movie, with Loki as the main villain. It’s hard to feel afraid of George Michael’s sidekick from Wham. I can’t be the only one who keeps seeing Andy Ridgely in the MCU…
Don’t get too much hope on the airline CEOs coming out against maks on planes. The Flight Attendants’ Union already came down hard agaainst it.
And that first CEO backtracked really quickly because of it.
Great Christmas songs and you leave out Greg Lake’s “I Believe in Father Christmas”?
Do better, guys!

As for polls about Biden’s approval, right track/wrong track, etc., the only important metric is so-called Independents. Democrats still approve heavily of him, Republicans disapprove by 90+ percent, but among Independents the approval rating is dropping like a stone. I think it’s in the low 20s now. The only way that the pollsters can claim that the disapproval rating is “only” in the 40s is by over-sampling Democrats and cherry-picking which Democrats to sample.
Never trust a headline about a poll. You have to dig into the numbers to find the real story. Independents elected Trump. These poll numbers are further proof that the Democrats stole the 2020 election.
Article on the coverage of Biden in youtube below detailed how the media data was analyzed in the supporting survey. That analysis of media coverage was atrocious. Really makes the article you are discussing ridiculous as a false premise.

Scott’s…’Did he walk like an Egyptian?’ comment made my day,
Okay, I’ll play ‘Guess the Song’:
“Blasting, billowing, bursting forth with the power of ten-billion butterfly sneezes…”
I use the word DRAM frequently. Nearly every night.
Before listening to more than he first 2 seconds, over an HOUR!
That’s the way to to start a holiday week!
Merry Christmas and a Joyful New Year to Scott, Bill and Steve and all of the members at BW(dot)COM!
It’s like getting a bonus mini-Stratosphere Lounge!
Bill, please tell me that you weren’t about to say that the term “The whole nine yards.” Is pertaining to the length of the .50 ca. BMG belts used in WW2 fighters. That myth has long since been disproven. Not only does the saying predate WW1, but different length belts were used in different airplanes and different missions do off set the weight of external and internal stores/munitions. Love the show, Let’s Go Brandon!
I have to admit that I really didn’t think about the origin of “The whole nine yards” until I read your comment, even though I used the phrase extensively during my military career. So I did what any red-blooded American would do when presented with a problem: I did an Internet search.
It turns out that Wikipedia has a full article about the phrase. The first idiomatic use of the phrase (where is wasn’t dealing with an actual measurement) was in May 1907.
I love the Internet for finding non-useful information!
Anxiously waiting for this site to get out of the YouTube doghouse as there is no easy way to share Rumble.
I don’t know what this means, Richard, but you can simply share the link to the page at BillWhittle.com , whether we’re hosting at YouTube or Rumble.
Just copy the link from the browser above, and paste it wherever you’d like to share it.
If I’m not understanding your objective, please explain it to me. We certainly want to make it easy for your to share our content.
What Scott’s talking about below is sharing a link to a page, are you talking about sharing an embedded link to a video so that the video shows up as playable by just clicking on it? Like the videos you see on this site?
I’m asking because YouTube has a “share” icon right below the video window and if you click that you get the HTML code to copy and paste to share that video. Whereas Rumble doesn’t have that, they use an “Embed” icon.
They both do the same thing. They both give you the HTML coding to share an embedded player for the video you want to share.
