Unconnected Thoughts

Fiorella feels better about the upcoming election today than she has in quite a while, and it's all because when she went to the bank this morning, the conservative-looking older couple sitting across from her in the lobby smiled and commented favorably on her DUMP TRUMP button. Also because all her signs are still standing. Also because the negative ads on FB seem to have gone missing--except for two posted by one of Fio's old schoolmates who's married to an "evangelical" pastor and is, of course, rich as Croesus.

Okay, one of Fio's pet peeves--pierced septums. Having had several friends from India, Fio's is used to nostril rings, but the bull ring or prong is something else. It looks like a runny nose.

Remember the days when a movie star's marriage/divorce would be the scandal of the day? Back when we thought presidents and congresspeople were totally dull?

Fiorella's been thinking about the monsters among us and conjectures there are some people who gravitate to being bad because they like the feel of it, like when one is playing a villain in a stage production.

Fio doesn't understand why taxpayers have had to pay $13m so far for Trump to play golf in his own clubs and why he's spent 123 days (23% of his days in office) on the links, then told the veterans that there have to be more cuts in VA programs because the nation needs to control its spending. Has he reclassified vets as employees and decided to stiff them?
