YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS SHIT UP

The Boston Globe, which features an animal story a day, had the following this week:  a horse is being mourned after it drowned in the home's cesspool.  Seriously, the paper is getting thinner and thinner and this is the news that they choose to print.  There was also a kerfuffle that was "news" about rattlesnakes being found in a reservoir near Worcester.  Hope no one is scared.  I recommend that they combine their animal reporter with their religion reporter since that is their other favorite piece of "news".

I must acknowledge that Republicans in this fine state also supported the Donald.  So, I can no longer point fingers North towards the Granite state and complain about them.  Or, unsurprisingly, I can complain about both states and their stupid Republican voters.  Go for it with the Donald and his tanning salon bronzed face. Speaking of which, he just keeps on winning.  That baby faced whiner Rubio could not even win his own state and has dropped out.  That Howdy Doody look-alike (that would be Kasich) is the most normal Republican but I cannot believe he has a shot.  And then there is the Cruzer who, I have to say, has a father who is crazier than he is.  He is still in it and actually scares me more than the Donald.  The Donald's latest quote is that his supporters will riot if he does not get the nomination. And the pundits wonder why there is violence at his rallies. Duh. Bernie has pushed Hilary and that is probably a good thing both in terms of her positions and in terms of preparing her for some ugly fights with whoever is the Republican nominee. I love everything Bernie says but he screeches too much and I worry about two things.  If he should be the nominee, you will here the word socialist every five minutes.  But, worse, you may also hear some serious anti-Semitic language every day.  He does not need to practice his religion to be smeared by those crazy Republican right wingers. Finally, we have mainstream Republicans running scared --but they are as much to blame as the Donald.  Republicans in the Senate and the House have run roughshod over our Democracy ever since the last election.  Now the anger they lit a fire under is coming back to burn them in the form of the Donald.  How can the Donald not be the nominee with Ben Carson, Chris Christie, and perhaps God on his side.

Big breath:  Speaking of music (get the transition?), I was listening to an old Phil Ochs CD (some of you probably don't even know him) and some of his lyrics from 40 years ago remain relevant.

I'm back.  So the person appointed by the Michigan Governor to oversee Flint (after the state took it over much like Detroit) saved some money and totally  fucked up their water supply  Neither of the two big state schools was involved in the research.  It took a Virginia Tech scientist to add two and two.  Both UM and MSU should be embarrassed.

Finally, we have a Supreme Court nominee.  From what I have read he is quite a brilliant judge. Already we have the Mitcher and the Grasser from two underwhelming/underpopulated states (sorry JF) saying nope, they won't do a thing.  More reason than any to be sure Donald stays in Mar a Lago come November.

SPORTS TALK
Injuries have caught up with the Celtics--they will still make the playoffs but I am betting they do not get home court.  I continue to love watching them as opposed to the Bruins who are just painful.  Then we have the great BC men's basketball team which somehow thought they could compete in the ACC--then went winless in the conference.  Whoever thought BC should compete in either football or basketball with all those schools must have been out of their fucking minds--but aha, it was about money not competition.

Adios.
