THOUGHTS WITH GIN .... What if Trump got a hair makeover? And, OK, let's DO elect a billionaire and see what a billionaire can do as POTUS. Just for kicks. How about Bill Gates for Vice President? Or vicey versey. Warren Buffet Secretary of State. Elon Musk head of DOE. Zuckerburg heading up intel. Or the guys heading up Apple, Microsoft or Intel. Let's make America great again. What American doesn't like that? .... Switching gears. 68% wouldn't re-elect Obama. That's constitutional amendment territory. Why is he so disliked? The Republican black neurosurgeon Carson is coming up in polls. So it's not because Obama's black. OK, it's his personality or policies. Or both. Or combo with Republican desparagement. Who likes Affordable Care Act? Who likes our troops pulled out of the war? Who likes the new EPA Clean Power Plan? Who likes the Iran nuke deal? And o so many Obama decisions .... New gear. Hottest July globally on record: NASA. Anecdotal global warming keeps sticking its hot head up out of the proverbial sand. Just look at air pollution in China. Killer heat waves all over our globe this summer. Oceans filling up with CO2, acid, heat, trash, Fukushima plutonium. How do we want our environment? Is it about willing to live with what kills us? Or making an atmosphere, earth, oceans that takes us back only hundreds of years .... Thoughts. Ruminations. Things of gossamer .... Next number gear. 3 weeks from now I won't even be thinking at this time on Sunday. I will be watching pro football on TV. TV. There are people who don't even watch TV.
