Ah Ha!

Oops, time for another put down of what is referred to as “The Big Dance”, the CBS coverage of the NCAA Basketball ho hum.  Certainly it must be a huge profits maker for the web and a delight for “the bracket beasts”. The rest of us will meantime retreat to our VCR’s or a good book until this juvenile past time has faded....

Seems Betsy DeVos, who is worth more than $2 billion, reported outside earnings from dividends, interest and rents of at least $225 million and “potentially well over $414 million” while being a Trump cabinet member. She joins a growing list of those who should be serving our country while rather serving themselves.

Donald Trump has falsely claimed his supporters involved in the Jan. 6th insurrection posed “zero threat” and involved people “hugging and kissing the police.” As we recall, one police officer was killed with at least 140 people seriously injured. Trump continues to earn the labels of ”liar” and “disillusioner”

Good news: Dave Roberts, former Red Sox player, considered one of the nicest guys in major league baseball, is remembered mostly for stealing second base against the Yankees in game four of the ACLS.  Dave is now cancer free after treatment for Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Yes, nice guys can finish first.

Word has it that Sharon Osborne has walked from “The Talk”. Seems she had defended the doubtful Piers Morgan concerning his criticism of Meghan Markel. I doubt our home screens will go dark for the loss of either one.

Boston’s Museum Of Science is about to honor one its native sons. It’s raising funds to erect a statue of Leonard Nimoy’s sculpture shaped like Mr. Spock’s split-fingered “live long and prosper” hand gesture,

Former cop Derelk Chauvin goes on trial this week facing second and third-degree murder charges, as well as manslaughter, after being captured on video kneeling on George. Floyd’s neck for more than nine minutes.  Hard to imagine he’ll escape a lengthy jail sentence but odd, unjust results have emerged in past similar cases involving law enforcement members.

Over the weekend Trump grabbed the mic at a couple’s Mar a Lago wedding reception to bash President Biden. He was heard to say, “Enough about the couple let’s talk about me”. That he did, of course, including the same old dance about election votes, fraud, etc.. Tedious, yes, but at least spilling from his own property and not the Oval Office where he never belonged.
