Blowing up drug boats was working out, but after doing that a few dozen times, it gets boring.  This was one way to shake things up.

I do appreciate the symmetry.

The timing and optics were probably coincidental, but they are striking.

I don’t know how this is going to work out, but fortunately, all the people who suddenly became experts on tariffs, infectious diseases or restoration of historic buildings, will be absolutely certain.

It won’t be beneficial to read a bunch of analysis.  All the people who hate Trump will hate this action, and the people who love Trump will love it.  That is a dumb way of thinking.

Sparky is a worldly fella and he seemed to be in a philosophical mood this morning.  I asked him what he thought about events in Venezuela.

His answer was puzzling.

“I hope everybody is okay.  I like them Mexican kids.  They always smell like food.  It’s cuz they eat with their fingers.  That’s how you know.”

Well that’s helpful.  Doesn’t matter, in a couple of days, we will be talking about something else.  President Trump will rename German chocolate cake or invite the Academy Awards to move from Youtube to the White House ballroom.
