Stuff in no particular order

1.  Robert Redford and Al Not-so-Sharpton are calling people who disagree with the king racists.  Holy cow!  That’s news!  No it’s more like: YGBSM.  That’s still news?  What’s really racist is Redford and Not-so-Sharpton calling anyone holding the king to account a racist.  It’s like, leave the poor half-black man alone.  He’s doing the best he can.  It’s not his fault he’s incompetent.  He’s had to deal with a life-time of affirmative action, uh, I mean racism.

2.  Time for a third party?  No.  Right now we only have one party.  So what we really need is a good second party.

The GOP right now is like the Washington Generals.  The Generals have the longest losing streak in basketball history.  The Generals were the sop basketball team that played “against” the Harlem Globetrotters.

They showed up every night as the “worthy opposition,” but they were in on the fix.  The Generals were allowed to score every so often to keep the game interesting and even were allowed to lead from time to time.  But only the most naïve in attendance thought the game was ever in doubt.

So when the GOP was holding the line, did anyone seriously believe that in the end Harry Meadowlark the roach Reid wouldn’t yank John Boehner’s shorts down, steal the ball and after dribbling around and through the legs of the entire General’s team do a 360 slam dunk to win the game?

So we can build a new team or just make a real effort to win with the team that exists.  I’m sending my money to Matt Kibbe and Freedom Works.  They want to win and don’t care much for the team that exists.

3.  I truly believe that Washington D.C. is like the capitol city in the Hunger Games.  They are sequestered, insulated, out of touch and uninterested  in the welfare of the people of this country.

4.  People in Washington are like kids at a birthday party with piñata.  They all gather around trying to break open piñata (aka the treasury).  Once it breaks open, the kids all grab as much loot as they can for themselves.  Their only other concern is getting invited to the next birthday party (aka the next election).

5.  How do you even begin to repay 17 trillion dollars?  It’s like blowing your diet.  Once you put up your salad at dinner to have a piece of pizza and a beer and an ice cream cone, you just figure, what the hell, I’ll get back on the diet tomorrow.   But you don’t.  The next thing you know, you’ve gained 275 pounds and are bed ridden.  The kids bring you 2 lbs packages of Oreos and ice cream at regular intervals figuring what the hell difference does it make?  He’s already 450 lbs. a couple of more pounds isn’t going to hurt anything.  That's what we're doing.  Feeding the fat guy a little bit more.  He's already so fat, what difference are a couple trillion more pounds going to make?

6.  Can America’s decline be traced the replacement of the good old fashion barbershop with the new wave hair salons?  I will be contemplating this for the next few days.  I’ll have a full report on Tuesday.

An old fashioned barbershop is as hard to find as a reparable toaster. Still,
if you are in Columbus go to The Silver Fox in Gahanna. Get a top notch haircut and shave. Talk boxing, fishing, and Buckeye football. Jim Fox is the owner. Probably one like this in Fort Wayne but we will have to look for it.
