BETCHA THOUGHT I FORGOT

Nope.  I am screeching even as the great silver bird is warming up on the runway.  I look forward to a 15 hour flight with 300 of my best friends nearly all of whom will have toilet paper stuck to the bottom of their shoes as they return to their seats.  Close your eyes and imagine what the toilets look like after 15 hours.  Ugly.  Now onto other matters some of which are equally ugly:

--Like:  I really am longing for Sean Spicer to return as spokesman for POTUS.  The current spokeswoman, Stephanie Grisham, has been quoted as referring to POTUS as a genius.  Seriously, we can disagree on a lot of things but does anyone really believe that?
--The only way I can understand how conservatives (law and order types) love this guy is that they are solely focussed on the elimination of abortion rights via the appointment of judges.  POTUS can do anything else he wants as long as conservative judges are appointed to gut a woman's right to choose.
--You all do know that these current cases (about impeachment, about POTUS, about immigration) will ultimately get heard and decided by the SCOTUS.  That means a lot of us will be depending on Justice Roberts to do the right thing.  Don't ever forget that Mitch and his friends sabotaged Merritt's ascension to the high court when Barack was the Prez.  That's one reason we are in this fucking mess.
--Apparently our soldiers cannot protect the Kurds but can protect the Iraqi oil fields.  Property over people. I guess from the perspective of a real estate tycoon, it makes sense.
--Recent language used by the leader of the free world seems to indicate he is being persecuted and at the same time is tone deaf.  Check these words out:  civil war, coup, lynching.  Language is important Language sends messages and people get it.  Supporters and detractors understand code words when they read them.
--Did ya know the Ukraine phone call was perfect and incredible.  A kerfuffle over nothing.
--Frontline episode all about Steven Miller was scary. He is a nasty man.  And, oh so sadly, he is a member of my tribe.
--So is Chaim Bloom!!
--The fewer Dems in the race, the better.  There are still too many as of this morning.
--I'm a Boomer and am wondering what I have not "gotten" today. I know everything we did (back in the day) was and is wrong.
--Love Bob Seger and tried to get tickets to see him but all they had were $400 seats.  Only for the Boss.
--Before I go out and crunch a few acorns, a note or two about sports.


--Tonight's Pats game is the first one all year that I am worried about.
--Good for the Nats;  but Strasburg just opted out which is not good.
--The Bruins first line has got to be watched to be appreciated.
--Chaim, mentioned above, is the new head of operations for the Red Flops. Likes gefilte fish.  Look it up.
