THIS IS A FACT: I AM 17 NOT 71

I made this discovery during a dream when an angel hovered over my head.  She had a sparkly tiara and kind of looked like tinkerbell.  During her visit, she told me that your real FACTUAL age is the reverse of what you think your age is--got that?  So if you think you are 29, you are really 92 and living in a nursing facility.  Out there in the alternative universe, this is called a fact. A fact, in other words, is anything I say it is.

OTHER ENDS AND ODDS
--The Republican health care replacement bill is kind of like those alternative facts.  We are being told it is better and even though, the Prez loved the CBO during his run for the presidency, now they are stupid and wrong. I am about to say something very unpleasant but here it comes:  rural low income people who voted for him will be disproportionately hurt by this bill.  Let's see how they react to that bit of news. Wonder what those 3 bourbon sipping boys in Louisiana think of that.
--So, one of the wise guys in the House would like those affected by the new health care bill to pick either their cell phone or their health insurance.  What a nice choice suggested by someone who never had to choose between anything in his/her own life except whether to stay in a Marriott or a Hilton.
--The Homeland security guys and gals have an even uglier choice.  If you are caught at the border, go back with your family intact or we will separate your children from the parents.  Because, of course, we have world class (the best) foster care system.  Not likely speaking from experience.
--The Washington Post now has a regular column called "4 star lies".
--He is after the immigrants again and the states are already lined up to fight him.  I'm thinking this will go to the Supreme Court.  And remember this about that group:  A 4-4 tie is very likely which would affirm lower court rulings whatever they may be.
--And, yup, Obama wiretapped the guy while he was in his condo.  Well not exactly since apparently wiretap is a "generic" word covering many sins and was used metaphorically.  He and Sean do not know what a metaphor is and this whole kerfuffle is a planned distraction from the Russian stuff his staff were involved in and all those executive orders which basically dismantle many government oversight functions.  Ugh.
--One of which is this:  Since the steel is already on site, the Keystone pipeline does not need to use American made steel. Even though the Prez promised us it would.  Whoops another make believe moment.
--Then we have the proposed budget cuts.  Since climate change is a fantasy, major cuts are coming to the EPA.  And, despite the generals telling him diplomacy is a positive thing, the State Department will also have major cuts.  Just trying to be fair by making sure every one hates him both internationally and domestically.
--As the number of assaults against the Jewish community rise, I have become OFFICIALLY SCARED.
--To paraphrase John Oliver--and then there is this.  LH hit a home run, got a hat trick, and also made a triple double.  So so proud.  A kvelling moment.
--Be back in a month with a tan.

SPORTSTALK
--None/seems less than irrelevant at the moment.
