You'd Never Think - A Snippet

You'd never think that Arizona men's basketball would be un-ranked, Steve Lavin told me, and it got me wondering.

You'd never think that so many prominent men would be called to account for acting like pigs, which is probably an affront to pigs, but that's what we called them back in the day which got me wondering about the fact that

You'd never think that the President of the United States would be one of those pigs.
Ana Navarro's tweet says it best: 
Matt Lauer lost his job. Charlie Rose lost his job. Mark Halperin lost his job. Glenn Thrush lost his job. Billy Bush lost his job. Harvey Weinstein lost his job. Kevin Spacey lost his job. But in politics... Conyers still in Congress. Moore still running. Trump still President.  
You'd never think ... but we're living it.  I don't like to think of it, but I must.

You'd never think that the "fiscally responsible party" would rush through tax reform in a matter of weeks, would reprise Trickle Down Economics as if no one remembers Ronald Reagan and maybe they don't but I do and I'm going down a rabbit hole of I can't believe that they are doing this while all the while they are doing this to all of us, except those of you who are very very very rich.... or are corporations, because you are people, too, it seems.

You'd never think that either, but it's true.  Net neutrality is in jeopardy and graduate studies are in jeopardy and I'm not even touching the environment and public lands and our increasing isolation from the rest of the people on the planet.

You'd never think that.
