(Apologies if there is another thread on this)
As security parted the masses to give him passage out of the chandelier-lit ballroom, Michelle Fields, a young reporter for Trump-friendly Breitbart News, pressed forward to ask the Republican front-runner a question. I watched as a man with short-cropped hair and a suit grabbed her arm and yanked her out of the way. He was Corey Lewandowski, Trump’s 41-year-old campaign manager.
Fields stumbled. Finger-shaped bruises formed on her arm.
“I’m just a little spooked,” she said, a tear streaming down her face. “No one has grabbed me like that before.”
She took my arm and squeezed it hard. “I don’t even want to do it as hard as he did,” she said, “because it would hurt.”

Thanks Obama -
I went to the Rheumatologist for a check-up and didn't need any blood work - they had complete up-to-date results sent electronically from my oncologist. That's one less blood draw!
If you want to see a bunch of people nervous as a cat on a hot tin roof -
come to Central New York. We're generally buried in snow (for which we have an awesome fleet of snowplows), but this year winter never really set in. (El Nino). It's actually Springlike right now. We're all waiting for the 2' of wet snow that we know has our name on it!
About the word "ghetto"
AS a baby boomer, to me that word means the section of town where African-Americans live. It does not necessarily imply poverty but does recognize housing segregation.
Polls and turnouts - was the turn out in South Carolina depressed because
everyone thought they knew the outcome in advance?
I doubt that the results here would have changed if more people had voted, but low turn out could be a disaster in November.
What are the best jelly beans out there? I fell in love with one brand,
but apparently they're out of business. Are pectin eggs any better than the others? What do you say?
I have a bit of a hearing loss - which means I can listen to the radio,
but some words I mis-hear. So today I heard the high in Kansas was going to be 90 degrees. On checking, I think the high in Kansas today is going to be 70 degrees. That's still pretty warm for this time of year, but given the breakdown in weather patterns, 90 degrees didn't seem impossible. Welcome to the world of global climate change.
So - I'm headed to Washington for a week visiting my sister -
I wanted to see the Peacock Room, but it closed last month for renovations until next year.
So - what should I check out at the Smithsonian?
Turtleman better think before he doesn't act -
as it stands , if Scalia is replaced by the next President, that President will be
Trump or Cruz or Rubio or Clinton or Sanders - one of three fruitcakes or two Democrats- with Clinton the only one liable to nominate a moderate.
Stalling the nomination just makes this a major factor in the election.
Turtleman's best shot at getting a moderate on the Court is to go with Obama.
