News of the Weird: The Week That Was
Vasectomy, anyone? Cat band. Elon Musk. Monkeypox. Teddy Swims. Giant hot dog. The Duggars. Cruise ship hazards. 👀 🚢 🐒 🐈 🌭
We will first give you this update.
As many of you know, Richard’s son Greg is in a war with brain cancer. They returned home from Duke in North Carolina to Arkansas this week for a few days before returning today. Greg starts intense therapy Tuesday. We appreciate prayers and positive thoughts. And thank you to everyone who has donated to the Go Fund Me. We are still raising money. You can donate here. Richard has this Cash App: $RPOwens72150. This money is strictly for the care of Greg. It has nothing to do with the Reckoning business.
Suzi remains in Arkansas in thick of several investigations. As she digs deeper on some stories, we would like to ask you to upgrade to a paid monthly or weekly subscription. We have to pay bills, and we are 💯 supported by you, the reader.
People really get fired up about our political memes. Some get really offended. We say settle down and just laugh. 😂
We find this plain weird. Now before everyone goes off the rails sending us messages about abortion, just don't. You've got to think regardless of what side of the position you are on, getting a vasectomy during a political convention is … hmm, unique, at best. Snip, snip. ✂️
We are so old we remember when condoms were controversial.
Sometimes we just feel like this.
Spotted for sale in Malvern.
Suzi is all into singer Teddy Swims, especially his song, “The Door”. If you haven't listened to this song, you should.
While searching for the video on Facebook, Meta's AI kicked in by accident and gave Suzi this odd answer.
Suzi loves when she stumps AI. Suzi chose not to go down the creative scenario with AI.
Do we have to worry about Monkeypox?
We sometimes forget the Duggars ever existed but family members continue to make national news.
Meanwhile, this news broke over the weekend in Baxter County.
We never knew this existed until Saturday but we are glad we know it now.
Which brings us to this shirt the Amazon algorithm thinks we need:
Of course, we have to throw in another political meme. Don't be offended.
Did you miss Suzi's column about politics? Might want to read it if you did.
That brings us to our poll of the week:
We decided to do another poll.
Hate Trump, love Trump, this is just funny.
We've known news has been going down hill for a minute but this Washington Post story makes you go, duh. Like hello, common sense? Why waste money sponsoring this ad? 🤷♀️. MSM.

First off, I may offend everyone at some point:
1: If you’re getting a vasectomy at the DNC, we probably don’t need you contributing your weak sauce to the gene pool.
2: MPox makes me think of the Hanson song MmmBop
3: To be fair, I didn’t watch the most the RNC. Just el Cheeto’s speech to see if he chilled out.
