The more time goes by, the more Trump wins, the more convinced I am that the Dems are secretly paying him to take down the Republican Party. And they are succeeding.
My take on the Oscars
Chris Rock was great. The show was more entertaining than usual. And mostly, the bit with Chris Rock interviewing movie goers in Compton blew my mind. There still really are two different worlds in America. We need to bring them together to survive.

Air travel sucks the big one
According to the U. S. Department of Transportation, consumer complaints about airlines continue to flow in at astounding rates. The number of complaints about fares alone doubled in the past year.

Where’s the snow?
Alaskans like to whine sometimes, but not always about things you’d expect them to whine about. Our whining tends to make people from the lower 48 stare at us in stunned disbelief. Yes, Donald Trump is annoying. Yes, the fact that our legislators think there is still something to be debated about the Taj Mahawker is annoying.

If you were Ted Cruz’s kid
Would you let him kiss you or would you scream OUCH like his daughter did when he tried to kiss her goodbye? I think the man is a nasty freak and don’t blame his daughter for screaming. She is old enough to realize she shares his genes. That has to be both a scary and sobering thought.
