Tuesday Flotsam and Jetsam

Today's offering a little late as I stayed up to watch the Cowboys roll over the Eagles on Monday Night Football (or MNF as the cool kids are abbreviating it). Think this all started with Saturday Night changing their name to SNL back in the day.

Enjoy this offering in which I wonder if there are adult Trump Accounts? Would they be an employer with matching 401k funds? A discounted employee stock purchase plan? Or as simple as Christmas bonuses? Inquiring minds want to know.

While you watch your college football games today remember the NFL front offices and the fans of both the Steelers and Saints are hoping Paris doesn't get burned to the ground and their game tomorrow morning comes off without a hitch. All for a buck. Can almost picture Roger Goodell saying, "Are you not entertained?"
