Saint Patrick's Day really seems to have snuck up on many this year (me included). Not sure why that is since it's always been March 17th. It's not just St, Paddy's either - next week is spring break for many. Now that really seems to have snuck up.

Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Sanders and Khanna introduce federal billionaire tax. Sometimes you need to let the stupid people talk introduce bills so we know who the stupid people are.
- You seem to get a lot of stories like this about President Trump.

There was a tragic shooting at Old Dominion yesterday yet the usual voices calling for gun confiscation after such events are oddly silent today. Skeptical minds might think this is because the shooter was a radicalized Islamist felon given early release by a liberal judicial system and the good guys were unarmed military cadets. That doesn't quite match the preferred narrative does it. Wonder if that's why those voices are silent today?

Thursday Flotsam and Jetsam

The reverberation of Baltimore backing out of the trade for the Raiders Maxx Crosby keep coming. The Raven pivoted and signed free agent Trey Hendrickson and kept their two first round draft picks while news comes out that Las Vegas minority owner Tom Brady nixed any potential trade with the Patriots. This is turning into While the NFL Turns.

The NFL calendar year starts today and already we are dealing with the cancelled trade of Maxx Crosby from the Raiders to the Ravens. You get the feeling this season will be lit despite the efforts of Roger Goodell.

Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

The NFL is about to open their calendar year tomorrow but teams and players can announce deals now. This is why you've seen a flurry of top names being cut or signed with the actually contracts not being signed until tomorrow or later. Look for mid-level players to be signed later - maybe even after the NFL draft next month.

President Trump says he will not sign another bill into law until the Save America Act is passed in the Senate. Voter ID is something most Americans are in favor of and I hope this Presidential boycott works. It's another 80/20 issue Trump has placed the Republicans on the side of the 80% leaving the Democrats to explain why they favor something 88% of citizens are against.

Home Depot - Built from Scratch
Important to remember that Lowe's was number one in the building supply industry until Home Depot sailed past them in 1989.
File this under once you see it you can't unsee it, "...the logic of supermarkets. Lumber was our meat. When you go into a grocery store, you never see the meat up front, because you want all the people to buy all the condiments before they get to the meat."
Home Depot started their affiliation with the Olympic Games in 1992 when the games were held in their home town of Atlanta. They remain one of the largest providers to Olympic hopefuls in the world. If you watched the recent Winter Olympics - you may have noticed the connectron.
