What I hear

We did some running around over the weekend, but not much, as it's been bitterly cold here in the great frozen north. Watched a lot of football, including the amazing end of the season for the Packers, but the other three games weren't especially compelling. What I did not see much of was the news, so I don't have a lot to offer about the events of the weekend.

This is what I hear: apparently there was a debate between two addled seasoned citizens and some creepy guy from Baltimore. And some of my doomier friends are convinced that Armageddon is nigh in the financial markets. Could be. And apparently the governor of Michigan is personally responsible for the condition of 100-year old water pipes in Flint, along with the decisions made at the federal level (EPA), because he is the governor of Michigan and simply is responsible, and he should resign now, because he should take responsibility, because he simply is, and apparently Michael Moore's word on the matter is dispositive. Between leaching lead in Michigan, and the general depredations of Scott Walker and Bruce Rauner in the neighboring states, midwestern Republican governors are horrible, horrible people who ought to be brought to justice, or something.

If you were paying attention this weekend, let me know. Maybe I didn't get some of that correct.

the Cardinals, formerly of Chicago, did win. so that part is correct.

as for 100yr old water pipes... we dont have there here in CA, because every house built before 1970 had to be repiped, anyway... and we dont like to think about the infrastructure... cause that costs money that is best spent acquiring votes from wetbacks and subsidized college students. yeah, i know, in CA, that is a redundancy... but a costly one, none the less.
