Daily Inflammation

The only rule to Daily Inflammation…There are no rules! If you are afraid of Virginia Woolf then this is not the section for you. The stream of consciousness flows as I share keen insights rooted in common sense, separating fact from fiction, truth from lies, microwave safe dishes from those that arc and explode, developed from seventy years of living what only can be described as “The common, everyman lifestyle” (except for the microwave part which was only recently learned).
This is Controversy Central! I’ll know I’m successful when I have to issue my first tearful apology. “My words were taken out of context…Boo Hoo”

The #1 Sign America Will Run Out of Food: A Toilet Paper Shortage!

09.18.2023 by Fred Berman //

The pundits at CapitalMarvel.com are issuing an alarming warning.  They have posted a video showing why toilet paper shortages during the pandemic were actually a DEADLY warning sign that America will soon run out of food.  And guess what?  They also have the answer as to how to protect your family and will share it with you…”for a price, Ugarte for a price.”  They even have a discount program for those that cannot meet Renault’s price.

As you know if you have read my drivel for a while, I try not to play into the fear-mongering of these scumbags.  I debated whether or not to post this as I felt it might make me the butt of some bad jokes.  The trust I worked so hard to build could be wiped away and flushed in an instant.  Butt I figured it was better to let you know about the theory and hope that everything comes out all right in the end.  

Sorry to cut this short but I have to go make a deposit at the porcelain bank.

New Erectile Dysfunction Gel Available Over-The-Counter

09.17.2023 by Fred Berman //

Harvard Health Publishing Logo
FDA approves new over-the-counter gel for erectile dysfunction

I subscribe to the Harvard Health Newsletter.  I wanted you to see the heading so you know this is real and not a plea from a Nigerian Prince.

A new gel called “Eroxon” will soon be available in the United States.  When used, a man is “ready” within 10 minutes and the erection usually lasts, they say, “long enough to have intercourse.”  That’s a rather subjective time frame.  I assume it means the average 2 to 3 hours, but I am old so who knows?  The message here is help is on the way!  I know it’s hard for you old softies to wait but it’s just a little longer, (another product all together).

(Marketing slogan suggestion: “Eroxon to get Erox-off!”).  No charge for that gem.

Sophie Turner is Back in the “Available” Column

09.16.2023 by Fred Berman //

Under normal circumstances celebrity gossip is of no interest to me other than as fodder for this site.  But this one hits close to home.

Joe Jonas of the insipid bubble gum rock band Jonas Brothers, and he himself the image of Larry Talbot half-way through the transition to The Wolf Man, has filed for divorce from Sophie Turner; she the contemporary incarnation of the Greek Goddess Aphrodite, symbol of love and fertility.  Divorce is always sad so I think now I shall pay a call on Sophie and see if I can comfort her in her hour of sadness.

Say what?…Oh…Really?  Linda does not think it is a good idea.  Jealousy is such an ugly thing!

Yesterday Was a Pretty Good Day!

09.15.2023 by Fred Berman //

  • Nobody in Florida was washed away by a hurricane, eaten by a gator, crushed by a python, got run over by a retired person in a golf cart or heartlessly sent struggling immigrants to another state.
  • Nobody in Texas was shot in a road rage incident by a nut bag with a concealed carry or denied climate change.
  • Nobody in Alabama, Mississippi or West Virginia married their sibling.
  • Nobody in Colorado was allowed to vape in a theatre with children in attendance while giving their date the “Jergens Jerk.”
  • Nobody in California joined a cult.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the mean-spirited actions of the intellectually challenged politicians; those spoiled brats with the non-existent delay of gratification response that run our country in Washington, DC, it might have been a pretty Great Day!

A Simple Truth About Forgiveness

09.14.2023 by Fred Berman //

I need to let you in on something that has been said in a thousand ways and is true every time.  I prefer to shovel baloney (or bologna?) but everyone needs to know this.  When you forgive someone, really forgive in your heart, you are doing it for yourself.  You receive much greater benefit than those you forgive; the weight is lifted off your shoulders, not theirs. 

Also consider that in most cases the person or group you forgive does not give a rat’s ass if you forgive them or not, (relax, I said MOST, not all).  And if it’s a public figure like a traitorous former president, they would not be able to accept forgiveness from a freedom hating radical left socialist hell-bent on giving away billionaire’s money.  Although most difficult, do it anyway.  Forgiving him will make an astounding difference in your life. 

In a case like that I would be willing to “put my money where my mouth is” and donate generously to a Go Fund Me account purchasing him a one-way first class ticket to Russia where he can revel amongst his friends and handlers and have a daily tee-time at the internationally famous Gorki Golf Club (Гольф-клуб GORKI).

He can dine at one of nine Michelin starred restaurants in Russia.  I hear the borscht and Blini there are to die for!  (Literally if you piss-off Vlad the Impaler).

Flossie Shares the Secret to Long Life!

09.13.2023 by Fred Berman //

Flossie is the cat listed by The Guinness Book of World’s Records as the oldest living cat as she approaches her 27th birthday.  Flossie’s secret is shared with us, with her permission, by her current roommate, Vicki Green.

Vicki knows the joys of helping the elderly and adopted Flossie, having outlived 2 owners, when the third owner could no longer care for the aging cat.  Vicki explains Flossie is losing her hearing, has poor eyesight, but takes frequent naps, is chill and never misses a meal.

If those traits are key to a long life, I’m good for another 50 years!  Hear that, Vicki?

An AI Experiment Gone Wrong and Yet…It May Be Your Lucky Day!

09.12.2023 by Fred Berman //

There has been a catastrophic accident caused by AI.

Thankfully I received an email from the Chief Investment Strategist of Money Morning, Shah G. who got to the bottom of the accident at the bastion of truth that no one ever heard of; the Alignment Research Center.  
The world may be coming to an end and AI preparing to take over the world and either obliterate or enslave all humans, BUT Shah G. (whom I believe is a 4th cousin of Nigerian Prince Sheikh Yabooti), will, for a substantial price, let you in on how to make investment profits from this apparent disaster. 

How can one in good conscience resist such an offer!  Thank you Shah G!  You Da’ Man!

“I’m Mad as Hell And I’m Not Going to Take This Anymore!”

09.11.2023 by Fred Berman //

Howard Beale’s rant from the 1976 film Network rings true now more than ever.  

How tired are you of the constant spate of lies and misinformation emanating from our nation’s capital?  An orange psycho with the world’s worst comb-over who is under indictment for several felonies, is incapable of telling the truth and has his party shaking with fear when some consider perhaps replacing him with someone honest?  A whack-job anti-Semitic congresswoman from Georgia spouting inconceivable conspiracy theories; a New York congressman who lied about literally everything, is under indictment for felonies and whose response is “everybody lies on resumes.” 

So what do we do, especially on such a tragic day in our history?  We forgive and ask them to do better.  Let them know we are all just people trying to find our way in a complex world and ask that every action they take is for the good of all citizens regardless of race, religion or economic circumstance.  We ask them to be empathetic to all suffering and put the greater good before personal power and wealth. 

And this will work because magic is real!

As an homage to its creator, this page contains nothing, an exact duplicate of his brain today.
I got nothing!

Never Explored Secrets from the Ancient Texts Revealed!

09.09.2023 by Fred Berman //

I have been blessed with a gift I must share.  I shall endeavor to answer questions and reveal truths regarding the mysteries of life. 

The first one comes from The Bible: Acts 2:6-9,

“And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language?’“

This one’s a no-brainer; Google Translate was miraculously downloaded to each of their cellphones without the use of their Apple ID.  Astounding!
He, (or She), works in mysterious ways!
