Seat to Fly Into Space with Jeff Bezos Auctions Off for $28 Million


Seat to Fly Into Space with Jeff Bezos Auctions Off for $28 Million:  A seat to fly next to Jeff Bezos and his brother in Blue Origin’s very first human spaceflight, has been auctioned off to an unidentified bidder for $28 million.  Blue Origin will fly its “New Shepard” space capsule to an altitude of nearly 65 miles, where passengers can then unbuckle from their seats and experience about four minutes of weightlessness during their eleven-minute suborbital flight.

Wow, $28 million for an eleven-minute suborbital flight?  Gee, I wonder if that’s for economy or business class seats?  Why, Jeff Bezos has really put together one helluva “billionaire carnival ride” if you ask me.  And, how comforting for average Americans living paycheck to paycheck, to realize that our tax-dodging billionaires will now - not only be looking down on them from the balconies of their fancy penthouses, but also from outer space!  


Truth is, these modern-day robber barons are always on the lookout for new, more creative ways to spend all that extra cash they have on hand - courtesy of all those sweet Republican tax breaks.  Now, is it wrong to wish that whomever bought this ticket, spends the whole flight trying to sell Jeff Bezos a timeshare in the Florida panhandle?


All I can say is, for an eleven-minute flight, they better find a pretty damn short in-flight movie.  Oh, who am I kidding?  They’ll probably run Amazon commercials.  Anyway, all of that aside, you have to admit this is certainly the perfect gift for that person in your life who seems to have everything - and yet somehow, it’s still not enough.  Behold, the next “status symbol” for the world's billionaire class.  


Sadly, I suppose this also means most Amazon customers can abandon their hopes that a ride on Blue Origin will soon become one of the free perks that come with their Amazon Prime memberships.  On a positive note, a Blue Origin spokesperson says even folks forced to live on the streets, should be able to watch parts of Blue Origin’s flight - assuming the weather stays clear above their homeless encampments.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Claims Pete Buttigieg Emasculating Driving With Electric Cars

During a segment on Neil Cavuto’s Fox News program, US Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was told by the host that Marjorie Taylor Greene is claiming "Mr. Buttigieg is trying to emasculate the way we drive" by supporting electric vehicles.  In response, Buttigieg told Cavuto that “my sense of manhood is not connected to whether my vehicle is fueled by gasoline, or whether it's fueled by electricity.”  When asked by Cavuto if he was offended by what Greene said, Buttigieg remarked "To be honest, there are other members of Congress that I pay more attention to when I'm thinking about opinions that really matter.” Oh, come on now!  Let’s get real.  It would take a helluva lot more than an electric car to “emasculate” Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Besides, I’m pretty sure “real men” actually ride horses, anyway.  Of course, I’m certainly no psychiatrist, but it sounds like Greene’s anger could be a combination of both “road rage” and “roid rage,” leaving her...

Trump Takes to Truth Social to Spread ‘Roomer’ About Ron DeSantis

Former president Donald Trump just shared some juicy gossip about Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on his Truth Social platform.   Trump posted, “Roomer (sic) are (sic) strong in political circles that Ron DeSanctimonious, whose Presidential run is a shambles, and whose poll numbers have absolutely crashed, putting him 3rd and 4th in some states, will be dropping out of the Presidential race in order to run, in Florida, against Rick Scott for Senate.   Now that’s an interesting one, isn’t it?” Gee, Donald Trump spreading “roomers?”  Say it ain’t so!   Now, me thinks perhaps that prestigious Wharton School of Business Trump attended might want to consider adding some basic 3rd-grade spelling classes to its curriculum.   Apparently, Trump is stalled at that level of language development where he is still spelling words phonetically.   Why his poor spelling makes him look like a real “looser.”   Frankly, I’m not sure its a wise choice for Republicans to choose ...

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal

Mike Huckabee Claims COVID-19 Death Risk Small and Sin Risk Lethal:   Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee has stirred some controversy with medical professionals by claiming that the risk of death from coronavirus is very “minimal,” but “sin is 100% lethal. Oh, really Mike?  Then how about showing me a death certificate which lists “sin” as the primary cause of death.  Of course, the fact is, sin couldn’t be 100% lethal, or a guy like me wouldn’t even be alive to write this.   On the other hand, maybe you’re on to something Mike - and sin really is lethal, and I secretly used a “ghostwriter” to write this joke. https://www.johnnyrobishcomedy.com
