March Madness

We should have known when the Ides of March was preceded by Linsanity.
Holy Steve Jobs. Not only did we have a Super Tuesday, Wednesday starts with a new iPad.
Defendant in privacy case in New Jersey is rushed by spectators in a court room.
Pirate Bay now calls itself Supr Bay.
Peyton Manning will always be a Colt. But because of an injury caused by a bounty hunter he won’t be playing for them.
Politics remain a dream. Should we call in a Lego crew? Caesar was stabbed 23 times.
A bad joke that needs to be told again. Republicans appear headed to a Sanatorium.
What did they expect after they pissed off a majority of women and workers. Who does that leave out.
Rush made sure contraception was included. I’ll bet this guy never hard of foreplay. Well, with all those drugs available why bother.
Six Brits killed in Afghanistan. No, the war is not over. Perhaps the mainstream media might mention it from time to time.
The slaughter continues in Syria. Again, too many references to screw ups elsewhere, like Vietnam. Let’s talk about Rwanda, the Balkans and Liberia.
Where is a drone when you need one.

Ludicrous Tuesday


You are more likely to have an Amazon store come to your town than a Republican primary.
It certainly would mean more.
Sometimes these things look like the kind of standoff a local SWAT team would handle.
The media reports today that Independents don’t care for any of the candidates. That is blamed on bruising primaries.
It does seem that some candidates have taken out bounties on their opponents. It is easier, however, to knock an opponent out than to build your own credibility.
One possible factor, in addition to the primaries, is the possibility Independents were put off by the failure of the GOP to do anything.
President Obama, on the other hand, can probably count on enough Progressives to vote for him to win a second term.
For some it is déjà vu all over again. At least in 1968 there was a third candidate, sadly it was George Wallace.
Given the Internet’s ability to send unhappy activists into the streets of Cairo and Moscow,  and into the artillery of Syria, one wonders why so little impact here. Occupy this, occupy that.  Hey they try.
Recessions being somewhat cyclical, things are turning around.
Who will admit being a Republican in December? Kind of reminds one of the late Everett Dirksen denying he had nominated Barry Goldwater as the GOP presidential nominee. Expect something like that.
And all the stories of this boring campaign wouldn’t even fill the smallest Kindle.
The fact is they want us to have no fun of any kind.
