Everyone needs a hobby.

Some people watch TV or read books or talk to friends. Others check Facebook several times a day, or more. Me? I keep track of the GOP poll numbers, especially the numbers for Donald Trump and Ben Carson. I'm rooting for them both, although I must confess that I'm mostly rooting for Donald. [Disclaimer: I'll vote, as always, for whatever Democrat is running.] 

This is the way they look today (Donald in blue, Ben in red). Whew. Three days ago -- see second graph below -- I was sad because Ben was, for the first time, creeping up on Donald.
 
 From 3 days ago:
Tonight Donald will be hosting SNL, as many people know. Not everyone of course; many people have rich and full lives and don't need RealClearPolitics.com to bring them entertainment. 

Oh, and while I'm confessing. Today I finished reading "Nancy Reagan: The Unauthorized Biography" by Kitty Kelley. Loved every word of it!  In writing about Nancy's superstitious nature, Kelley wrote: "[Nancy] slept with her head and feet facing north and frequently knocked on wood." There's an image I won't soon forget -- Nancy in her bed with her feet AND her head facing north. 

It's junk food for the brain day and night around here.

That is quite an interesting hobby. Trump has certainly created some interesting times.. ;)

You know how they have that rule about only people who are born in the US can be President? I think they need to add a new one and it goes like this - having a combover of any kind automatically disqualifies one from running for President. :) That level of delusion cannot be good to have in the leader of a country!

I love Snoskred's comment!! Laughed my head off. I don't know what to wish for; Carson is possibly more electable than Trump. I too will hope and pray that the majority will join me in voting for a Democrat, ANY DEMOCRAT.

I'm not sure which one scares me more. The combover rule works for me, though. They always weird me out. I guess I will hope for Trump because surely he can't be elected. Then just watch... Trump will be president and yelling at all the people on Medicare "You're fired!"
