It Was Nice While It Lasted...... [View all]

Over the last couple of days the constant 24/7 drone of talking heads and news shows that carry on about the primaries, Trump, the clown car, Hillary & Bernie, wars, terrorism, police shootings, etc - seemed to come to a complete halt while the news show anchors, politicians and talking heads and maybe even terrorists celebrated the holiday.

Today - they are all back with a vengeance.

Isn't it funny how they can carry on - then stop suddenly for a few days - and then start scaring us again.
