Putting Up His Mitts


When Donald Trump said that America kills journalists just like the Russians do, Mitt Romney tweeted: "important distinction; thug Putin kills journalist and opponents; our presidents kill terrorists an enemy combatants". Way to go Mitt, it is amazing how rational some people get when they get out of combative politics!! 

Yellen is Yellin'


Yesterday Janet Yellen and the rest of the federal reserve agreed on a .25% increase in interest rates, the first in over a decade. This had been anticipated, and shows the economy is definitely recovering, and the stock market reacted really positively. This is called the good news, and only nine people don't know this. Well 13 if you count the many predate candidates.

Unplanned Parenthood

Maybe the way to judge the political logic of certain positions is to look at the opposite. For instance, the opposite to Planned Parenthood would be UnPlanned Parenthood, which is better known as the state of Texas based on their leading the country in repeat teen pregnancies.

Marco (Bi-Polo) Rubio

After deciding Obamacare was not right for Americans who need healthcare, he enrolled his own family in it.

Cruzing

The two most common comments going around (political insiders and outsiders alike) concerning Ted Cruz are as follows: first, a former former college roommate said he would just as soon take someone out of the phone book as opposed to having Cruz as the next president. Then, when a political associate who worked with him was asked why just about everyone he's worked with in Washington seems to dislike Ted Cruz instantly: he said it saves time.

What Bothers You?


To those who are bothered by prejudice of any sort, the most disquieting/frightening thing about Donald Trump is not just his universal condemnation and plan to put a ban on Muslim immigrants regardless of their situation. No, it's that the major political party that controls the House of Representatives and the United States Senate, does not disapprove. Rather it endorses it to the degree that he is clearly FIRST in the current Republican polls. Says more about them than about him.

Sports Trivia

 1. Can you name six colleges who's nickname is dogs? 2. Can you a college name for whose nickname is the Bulldogs?

Geography was always my worst subject, but...


Geography was never my best subject in Trivial Pursuit, in fact it was my worst. So I'm trying to work on a couple of things, one it turns out that the rifles used in the San Bernardino murders that the political right said were legally purchased are actually illegal in the state of California and I'm pretty sure San Bernardino is in California. Continuing on that geographic mode I keep thinking that Ted Cruz was born in Victoria which is part of Canada but again geography was my worst subject.

A Heated Skirmish


Of the Republican candidates, Rand Paul, Lindsey Graham, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio voted against reauthorizing the violence against women act. But why didn't the other candidates do so? My guess is because they are not Senators, but they would have voted against it if they could of. If there's not a war against women, there's at least a heated skirmish.
