Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

As scary as Trump is, Cruz is scarier to me.

Really, the entire Republican presidential slate is about equally horrific. They all appeal to racism and support racist politics, some openly, some via dog-whistles. All of them support deeply sexist policies, in terms of reproductive choice, in terms of economic gender disparity and in terms of protection from rape. In terms of economics, war and environment every single policy they support is deeply destructive. I'm not saying there are no degrees of difference. But I'd worry far more about defeating whichever sociopath gets the Republican nomination than deciding which is worse.

At this point since they have no good option I would just as soon they pick the craziest so the defeat is more likely. I fear too many people might actually vote Trump in the general.

I did my corporate return this weekend. I had done my personal one a couple weeks ago or so, but they returned it because I completely spaced out and forgot to do the whole health insurance stuff part.

I rented The Big Short which I really wanted to see since I've read the book. But I never ended up with any time to watch it.

I kinda think I'd rather have Trump than Cruz. I really don't know what Trump would do, but I'm pretty sure what Cruz would do.

I am happy to report our Utah relatives despise Trump. Made conversation ever so much more pleasant.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The way Trump rallies his supporters scares me. A large group of people at a Trump rally seems a lot more dangerous than a large group of people at a Cruz rally. I'm equally worried about what each of them would do with the actual powers of the office, but I'm a lot more worried about what Trump would get masses of people to do than what Cruz would get masses of people to do.

Yes, at 9 am on a Sunday... It's the day of the Southie parade, so all-day drinking probably isn't all that surprising.

Really don't wanna go driving this morning, about an inch down...
