3 Doors Really Down

There is no denying that 3 Doors Down is really the biggest rock band at the inaugural concert. SAD! Just kidding. It’s great that 3 Doors Down changed their schedule around to play at the inauguration. Of course they tweeted about it …

Russian to Judgment

I don’t like the direction this Trump/Russian thing is headed one bit .

The Tooth Hurts

I was scheduled for a routine tooth cleaning the other day which I despise more than a US Presidential campaign. It’s not that I dislike the concept of clean teeth, but just that I find the path to that goal somewhat unpleasant. My dentist uses a high-pressure water jet to clean teeth, rather than the old pick & ax technique. Don’t they use high-pressure water jets to cut metal?

water-jet-cutting-steel-o

Hmmm, that’s what I was afraid of. But my teeth are as strong as steel, aren’t they? Aren’t they? Someone?

What I really hate is when the water jet hits my gums. I think that could be bad for soft tissue.

Born to Run … Away Holding My Ears

Finally, the Trump Team secured some big time talent for one of their inaugural balls. Get ready Garden State Ball, it’s Bruce and the E Street Band …

b-street-band-getty-1

wait-what

My reaction exactly. The lead singer does bear a vague, overseas-knockoff resemblance to Bruce, but that is definitely not Clarence on the sax. Turns out I read that wrong. It’s not the E Street Band, but the B Street Band. Take a listen …

In Fairness to Trump …

I think I really jumped the gun on this “golden shower” issue with Trump. I mean, just take a look at the Moscow Ritz-Carlton Spa menu …

TripAdvisor or TrumpAdvisor?

Donald Trump is having his first press conference today in almost half a year. Despite all the things that have gone on in the last 6 months, I really want the first question to be this …

Another Trump Post From Flanigan Flanigan (don’t worry, this odd title will make sense if you read this post)

Warning … Warning … Warning

This is a REAL pic that Trump tweeted within the past day. I have not doctored it in any way as I have been known to do.

trump-tweet-reagan

Trump seems so proud of it. How very personal. Signed by Nancy & Reagan Reagan. Wait, Reagan who? Reagan Reagan? Can you stutter when writing your name? Maybe Reagan Reagan is the dude with the gold braiding and epaulets over there to the right of Ronnie in the pic.

Well, if Ronnie’s signature is fake, maybe the “With best wishes” sentiment is phony, too. Based on what Trump stands for, I think this makes more sense …

Bad News? Maybe I’m Just Being Shellfish

Here’s some bad news from Popular Science …

http://www.popsci.com/warmer-oceans-neurotoxins-in-shellfish

If it is bad news, it is really “popular” science? Anyway, for those of you with an aversion to link clickage, the article basically says that warmer oceans create neurotoxins in algae that are eaten by shellfish that are not affected by the toxins, but then the shellfish could be eaten by us with deadly results. Great. Thanks, Obama.

Inflated Egos, etc.

It’s no secret that Senator Mitch McConnell and Donald Trump don’t see eye to eye on all issues, like the Mexican wall and Russian hacking just to name two. It will be interesting to see if Republican lawmakers line up behind McConnell or Trump on some of these sticky issues. God bless The Onion for this photo-shopped (is it?) pic of Mitch McConnell inflating his throat pouch in a show of dominance over Congress.

mcconnell-throat-pouch

That is an altered pic isn’t it, or have we just never seen McConnell inflate that sucker before? There is definitely plenty of loose skin under there, and inflated to the proper pressure, well who knows?

mcconnell-throat-wattle

I wonder what will happen when McConnell and Trump do butt heads. The visual display of dominance could be stunning.

Regurgitating Presidential History

bush-vomit

No, this pic is not one of the numerous times that Barbara Bush tried to chloroform President George H W Bush. Yesterday marked the 25th anniversary of President Bush vomiting on the Japanese Prime Minister at the time, and this pic captured First Lady Babs Bush trying to minimize the massive spewage with a napkin. That worked about as well as you might imagine. If you are too young to remember this, or just want to relive a great moment in presidential history, you can watch it here with some added SNL footage at the end …

Of course, President Bush was embarrassed and contrite at his regurgitive faux pas, and the Japanese Prime Minister was as gracious as possible with a lap full of Bush chunks. This anniversary of a sitting President literally vomiting on a world leader would probably be forgotten if not for one thing.

Repeal Appeal

Republican lawmakers are having some second thoughts about the bill they are constructing to repeal Obamacare, formally known as the Affordable Care Act that provides health care insurance at reasonable, subsidized rates, irrespective of pre-existing conditions to almost 30 million Americans.

They know that repealing Obamacare will leave these almost 30 million Americans without health insurance, and that will likely result in serious illness and probably deaths for many Americans.

But that is not what is troubling Republican lawmakers.

Hola, Soy Mexicano Hoy

For those that do not know Spanish or how to use Google Translate, the title of this post means “Hello, I am Mexican today.” That’s because Trump promised Mexico will pay for the border wall, and now it appears that US taxpayers will. I guess we all became Mexican today.

 Viva la revolución!

The Trouble with Trump Tweets

Here’s the trouble with Trump tweeting …

bernie-trump-tweet

A crusty old Socialist named Bernie Sanders just may make a cartoonishly large version of the tweet that makes a Publisher’s Clearinghouse check look small. Then that salty old dog will parade it in front of Congress and the handful of people watching C-SPAN2 so that they can all see what Trump had to say previously about Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid …
