Kale tastes better with pork gravy.

For Sagacity:

Yesterday was a lightweight fleece day, and it felt great.

Obama jumping in calling Trump unfit is great news for Trump; the stimulus needed to unify Repubs. Maybe Obama’s inane utterances can overcome Trump’s, and save the Republic from growing socialism.  

News Flash from ABC’s Jonathon Karl: But, the situation behind the scenes at the RNC is growing intolerable according to observers of recent meetings between a totally furious Preibus and Donald. Priebus is irate at the Trump continuing slur of the War Hero, and is in fact assembling RNC denizens to make plans for the eventuality of Trump voluntarily stepping down from the race. Let me repeat that – “If and when Trump voluntarily steps down from the race.” This is unprecedented. Trump is not only losing support of the veterans and military groups and many Republican leaders who don’t want the party sucked into the Donald morass, but also several campaign staff members who have had enough and are or are ready to jump ship. From what I can see, right now it is imperative to isolate the Congressional races from the Trump presidential run.

So, now it’s flossing. Yes, that paragon of dental health care has been exposed as being useless in preventing gum disease and cavities. Like so many nutritional ideals that have had their public trendy moment, the truth generally sets us free form nanny state oversight. Still enjoying your Kale?

There are some serious rumors that Obama, in a last ditch effort cement the election for a candidate who consistently alienates to the truth will be paying off all student loans. In other words, the American taxpayer will be paying once again for the election of another unsavory politician. And the problem still isn’t solved. The problem – the economy doesn’t need so many college graduates. College has become more of a social status achievement as opposed to a necessary ingredient for the future of young people’s lives and the needs of a nation. College has been oversold and over bought. Much of what is being taught is how to siphon money off of Government programs, meaning that the cycle is destined to continue forever.

Let’s face it, The USA has become a giant Toothpaste Tube.

Trump began as a Fringe Candidate. Now he is the Cringe candidate.

I have been a little lax in my coverage of America’s Got Talent. But, they are into the “Lives” and it is time to take notice. Last night was entertaining and being a sucker for Country music, I have to say I loved the big confident voice of 12 year old Kadie Robertson. I also thought singer Calysta Bevier was excellent, and what a back story she has. I also enjoyed the smooth ethereal juggling of Viktor Kee. The Clairvoyants held me spell bound as did Rubics Cube Magician Steven Brundage. I’m not a big Sinatra fan, but big band singer Sal Vakentinetti can sing and entertain. One of the acts that mesmerized me was contortionist and Bow and Arrow marksman Sofie Dossi. “Flip” open ended the show with an energetic, well executed dance routine that cover d many a genre.  The Throwings (Silly name) were thrilling, but I think their act could get tiresome over tome. Moya Angela (What, couldn’t her parents spell Maya Angelou?) could have brought down the house with her big voice, but she didn’t and was unimpressive to me. I hope Ryan Stokc and Amberlynn don’t get a sympathy vote for her misaimed shot into his neck because I cannot watch that act, which means I missed the miscue that could have been a serious injury. The “Quick Change” artists Sos & Victoria put on a dazzling, fast moving performance, but towards the end it grew repetitive and tiresome. I would toss the Throwings, Moya, RS and A, S&V and Flip. Moya could sneak in.

BTW, to set the record straight, a lot of Americans have always thought that Obama was an unfit candidate. At least Trump will have Executive experience before heading the Executive branch. And, they talk about Hill’s experience – yeah experience in making monumental misjudgments on the world stage. She was obviously too busy keeping track of her frequent flyer miles rewards to notice ISIS seeping into countries neutered by O&H policies and taking over. Yeah, she’s experienced alright – the kind of experience that can get us exterminated.

I am definitely in need of a good Diet Coke or Pepsi sale. I doubt of they would put it into a Back-to-School package.

As Charles Krauthammer said of Bill’s Valentine’s card to the Hill at the convention: “He gave us a chronological account of her social activism.”

Taco Bell has “Cheeto Buritos” in a test market in several Ohio cities. Does that mean I’m becoming a Mexican?

Stopping Hillary is serious stuff.

A good friend of mine and I have conjectured that the entire Trump run is in fact a conspiracy hatched between the Clintons and the Trumps in a NYC café off a dark alley in The Village. The fact that he is destroying the Repub party does nothing for his candidacy, but sure helps Hill and even increases the possibility of her having a favorable congress. That is so Clintonesque. Where are all of the good whistleblowers when you need one. Looks like a good novel. Now all I need is an ending.

The Answer:

Everybody knows that Jay North is best known as a child actor playing the TV role of Dennis the Menace. Today he is married, living in Florida. He spends his time in an organization that helps child stars grow into the real world after early stardom, often under the tutelage of over bearing and sometimes abusive parents.

I was just kidding…pork gravy doesn’t make kale taste better. Nothing can make kale taste better.

And, what would make Trump more palatable’
