Hey, it's been almost three weeks between posts--a long time for me. So here's what's new this month, in no particular order:
--The Broncos may get the ring, but the real winner of the Super Bowl was Lady Gaga. The other acts fizzled, the ads were bleh, and the game was boring and badly played.
--Speaking of Lady Gaga, she's been pretty good in this season's American Horror Story, too. I'm three episodes behind--the last three--so don't ruin anything for me. Of course, having said that, I've been seeing a little too much of Lady Gaga lately. If you've seen the show, you know what I mean.
--I'm not sure halftime of the Super Bowl is the place to make political statements, even if they're valid. People watching the Super Bowl are not always going to be the most politically-conscious.
--Trump losing Iowa--and almost finishing in third place--re-establishes. But it's early, so don't let me down, people.
--I've already had a Republican president who didn't quite think things through before he said them. I don't need another one anytime soon.
--Trump blamed the media and Ted Cruz for his poor showing. He strikes me as one of those people who never takes responsibility for anything at all. His advisers need to tell him that he lost because Iowa is a religiously conservative state, and Trump is just conservative. He stumbles at religion questions, and doesn't say the word "God" enough to win there. And they may not be too excited about Big City rich guys from New York, either.
--Having said that, Rick Santorum won Iowa in 2012. The Iowa Caucus does not a president make.
--Local schools have been blitzed by fake bomb threats that have disrupted things greatly. Newport had three such hoaxes--in the same week. And then a snow day Friday and today.
--News reports today say RI police have traced the sources of the hoaxes to Russia. I could've told them that: According to Google Analytics, Russians read my blog more than Americans do. But I suspect there's just a bot or two coming from there and playing games with my numbers.
--Of course, if you're a solid Russian reader of this blog, I apologize...
