Turning the Mundane into Fundane Since 2015
I bring my pond fish in every winter to spend a few months in comfort in a tub under my workbench rather than let them languish in a state of hibernation in the pond. This is similar to how I handle winter, except for the part about being under my workbench. I choose to spend winter huddled under blankets on the couch.
Just as the Cruz campaign grabbed a little momentum yesterday when Ted Cruz overwhelming won the Utah Republican caucus, it suffered a momentum-halting, huge setback today.
It seems completely normal to hear that Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump is threatening Ted Cruz, but now the wives are involved, the gloves are off and food may be spilled.
After an anti-Trump PAC tweeted out revealing pictures of Melania Trump from a GQ photoshoot, husband Donald came to her aid and threatened via twitter to “spill the beans” on Heidi Cruz. He didn’t provide more details about what dirt he was planning to dish on Heidi. I hope it is not the police report from 11 years ago that indicated she was having some mental health incident. Yawn. I mean, she MARRIED Ted Cruz. I think anyone would have mental health challenges being married to that creepy guy.
Today I bought a 10 lb bag of potatoes for $1.14.
The final Republican debate has been canceled, but not because Donald Trump and John Kasich have decided not to participate.
I’m leaving town for a few days. I may not have time to post. This bit of information has been known to spontaneously cause celebrations in some parts of the USA and several US Territories (NOT Guam since I am HUGE with the Guamite Guamese people from Guam), and definitely not in Europe where I am a beloved figure and my blog is eagerly awaited by non-English speaking Eastern Europeans who immediately print each new post in order to line their birdcages. I know that there are some for whom my blog has become their heroin … highly addictive, primarily white and liable to put you to sleep.
I’m feeling very dirty today. Hmmm?
Please don’t judge me,
I have a plan to travel back in time.
Do you find it ironic that there is a Pi Day,
Marco Rubio is staking his campaign’s survival in winning the Florida Republican primary March 15th.
I thought I had discovered my parallel universe,
I want people to see me in a new light,
Donald Trump had a bit of a scare at a Dayton, Ohio campaign stop as a protester rushed the stage.
Let me see if I have this straight. Donald Trump mocked Bernie Sanders when protesters interrupted campaign appearances of Sanders last summer.
As I watched the penultimate Republican primary debate last night, I speculated about what orchestral percussion instrument each candidate would play.
At the store this morning I paid my bill with cash and awaited my change.

In honor of Marco Rubio’s crashing and burning presidential campaign, I suggest the kid’s swimming pool game of tag formerly known as Marco Polo now be called Marco Rubio. That’s about the only thing that will ever be named after him as it is becoming clear that there will never be a Marco Rubio Presidential Library. Consider this …
Spring has burst upon the scene in Chicago just as my pants are ready to burst at the seams. And those are my stretchy sweats! Here’s how I can tell I’m out of shape …
Continue reading “Me? Out of shape? No, mine’s just a mushy blob-type shape.”
The comparisons of Donald Trump to Adolph Hitler are so unfair to Mr. Trump.
