Cackles and Hackles

Cackalacky cackles. Hillary’s guffaws v. Bernie’s laws in the South Carolina debate. Preachy yelly. Painful telly. Hurts my neck. Yes. The Repubs are hectoring petulant adolescents. But, the Dems are pedantic lecturing bores. Loonbats v. Moonbats. Wall Street sucks. Unless they give them bucks. What?! Bernie & Donald have something in common? They don’t get funding from those hedge scum whores. This election cycle only Advil scores. Downton snores.

Football games weren’t that great, either. But, hey. Three out of four.

Topsy Turvy

President Obama trashes Trump during State of the Union. South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley also trashes Trump during her Republican Response.

Ted Cruz criticizes Trump for having New York values. Jeb Bush makes fun of Rubio’s Cuban high heeled boots. Trump says Cruz is a Cuban-Canadian.

Bernie Sanders, a 74-year old Socialist from Vermont who sounds like Larry David is beating Hillary with Democrat youth. Hillary is sending out Chelsea as her new attack dog. Bill Cosby took hubby off the table.

Oil is below $30 a barrel. PowerBall is over $1 billion.

Disturbance in the Force

Shifting allegiances in the sands of the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, our supposed ally, practices the most extreme version of Islam with violence against infidels and women. Iran’s antithetical Islamic theocracy reigns in a land of Persians. The two powerful nations have now come to loggerheads to fight for dominance in the region polarizing others along Sunni and Shiite lines. In between ISIS flourishes and refugees flee from its rise. Oil price volatility the new norm.

Meanwhile, North Korea is bomb rattling as China looks the other way, distracted by its own geopolitical paranoia. Bottom line? Stash that cash for 2016. Markets going to have a bumpy ride.

2016 Predilections

Starbucks on every corner.
Adam Driver disintegrates Hannah. Solo.
Trump-Palin v. Hillary-Warren.
MadMen returns. Season 8.
Manhattan view.
Great new novels. City on Fire not yet.
SuperBowl. Anybody but the Pats.
Freshest fish.

Little Blue Corvette. Wish I’d kept my 1963 baby blue split-window fast-back Stingray with the Hurst stick shift. The one Seinfeld and Obama had coffee and comedy in. Would’ve been a lucrative bet.

Kristmas Krackers

IMG_1398Is that a lightsaber? No. It’s this season’s hit. The selfie stick. On the porch. Kraklin’ fire. On Kristmas Eve no less. Sixty degrees. We’ll take it!

Cuzins took over Colitti Christmas this year. They devised a new tradition of giving gifts to each other and dubbed it “Secret Grandma.” Conjuring re-imagined treasures from her cellar, a new era of mirth, heart and soul. From Jamison to Jake. A legacy worthy of its creator. IMG_8044IMG_8040

Cuban Sandwich

Trump the filler for a Cruz – Rubio face-off? Tonight’s Vegas main event showcases 9 contenders. Rush Limbaugh has signaled a turn from Donald to Ted. Could this be a watershed moment for tea party darling to win the decision? The other slice of the Cuban sandwich is Marco, Republican establishment sweetheart. Those with nothing to lose could go rogue. Jeb!? and Chris.

Drinking game words for the debate: Vet, as in Veteran or vetting terrorists and refugees. Radical Islam. Illegal immigrant. Visa. Paris. San Bernardino. Malik.

Saggy Awards

SAGs. Golden Globes. Oscars. ‘Tis the Season for Depressing Gay Abused Stories Glorified. Children in Pain. No wonder Star Wars is so anticipated. El Trumpo? No. Trumbo. Haven’t watched Fargo, lots of noms. Winter binge idea. Ray only one? The Affair, too. These awards are lame. The Big Short is Carol’s game.

MadMen!? Seriously.
