Between getting our estate planning completed, working on my sister-in-law’s divorce (don’t ask!), and – to use Donald Trump’s vernacular – a YUUUUGE project at work, the days have been long and somewhat stressful. I’ll be back this weekend. In the meantime, a few quick items:
1. Just like there’s a mainstream media problem when it comes to covering politics the same holds true with sports. Was following a couple of golf-related blogs while Tiger Woods was playing his first competitive round since, like, ages ago at his Hero World Challenge event in the Bahamas, and it was amazing to watch the hyperbole flying back and forth. When he was hot for three holes on the front some moron was already installing him as the favorite to win the Masters next April. When he fell apart on the back nine, double-bogeying the last three holes, they’re all like, “well, we need to give him time.” So mainstream media, which is it? It’s pretty pathetic, but given everything the mainstream media spews out as supposed news these days, not unexpected.
2. Watched Trump’s “victory tour” opening rally in Cincinnati last night and the dude was great. I especially enjoyed him skewering the media for their coverage of the election and going completely around them to announce his choice for Secretary of Defense. Methinks what is now called the “White House Press Corp” is going to find themselves marginalized to the nth degree in a Trump administration. They know they need him more than he needs them, and Trump knows it as well. Technology and social media have made the WHPC nearly obsolete, and Trump will hasten that obsolescence.
3. And speaking of Trump, isn’t it nice to think of a president who will have the country’s back instead of stabbing it with a knife like the Obamas have been doing these past eight years?
4. I’m listening to the classical music station in Newport, RI over the internet and they’re playing a selection of string quartet Christmas carols. There’s something about music being played by a string quartet no matter what it is: I always feel as if I’m on Lido Deck of the Titanic.
5. So the Dems re-elected Nancy Pelosi as House Minority Leader and the Clinton campaign is blaming white supremacists for Trump’s election. I love it and hope they keep it up. As the saying goes, there are no Electoral College votes in the state of Denial.
