Twirl, Tuesday Tidbits, Twirl

And now for a phantasmagoric ride on the twisting, turning, twirling Tuesday Tidbit machine!

1)

I confess!  I've watched more of the Summer Olympics than I thought I would, but not nearly enough as I could, were I home and had a live feed!  I think I could have gotten one (not sure if it would have cost money, though), but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have had time to watch it much.

2)

Not being home during the day, I haven't seen much team handball.  Yes, it's a strange addiction, but I only get to see it once every four years,  Ah, America!  Ye don't know what yer missing!

3)

I love the Winter Olympics much more than the Summer Olympics, but it comes during tax season. But maybe by the time of the 2018 Olympics, I'll be retired enough, with enough control over my schedule, that I can get me that there live feed!

4)

By the 2018 winter Olympics, Benjamin will be a Junior in high school!  Oy!

5)

And 2018 should be the year that the progressive movement takes control of the Democratic Party!  Woohoo!  Unless....the American people decide to backlash against President Clinton 2 by once again turning to the spoiled children in the room, like they did to President Obama in 2010.  What are the odds of that?  Actually pretty high, until PROGRESSIVES LEARN TO VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION!!!  Ya hear that, millennials?  I"M TALKING TO YOU!!!

6)

Drumpf should release his tax returns.  Who the heck is not in favor of that?  We could find out information vital to a voting decision (those still trying to decide), like a) he's nowhere near as rich as he says he is, b) he gives squat to charity, c) he's tied to the Russians and d) he pays close to an effective rate of zero.

7)

Trump take a naturalization test?  Yes, please!  Can we exile him if he fails?  Let him run for President of the Ukraine, or build casinos in Moscow.

8)

Who will Governor Pence pick for his running mate?  If he had his druthers, probably Ted Cruz.  But the party may impose on him Marco Rubio.  Unless no one wants to board the Titanic,  Then you might get Giuliani or Gingrich.


9)

Bingeing Stranger Things!  It is awesome!  It is so 80s!  Not just set in the period, but it feels like a movie from that era.  It's as if the 80s Stephen Spielberg and John  Carpenter came together and birthed a TV baby!
