Tonight I’m north of Scranton, heading for the Albany area and then back to the Rochester area. They’re bringing you back a little bit early this week because I’m going to be moving back into my truck and giving up the one of the borrowing for the last week. Good thing too, my back hurts from the seat in this thing.
It’s been kind of a weird winter around here, I gather that they had some serious snow between Rochester and Syracuse last night and early yesterday morning. To the point, where the New York Thruway was closed around Weedsport or so, for a while.
Such is life in these parts I guess.

You know the Flint Michigan thing, has brought to mind an interesting correlation. It started, as most of you know, where the entire city of Flint Michigan is being poisoned with lead from the city water system.
Which in turn, apparently, brought out the report that Michael Moore is in hospital because of the water problems there. (Personally I have trouble believing that anyone with his kind of money is drinking tap water, but leaving that aside for the moment…) I wish Mr Moore the best in his recovery, I genuinely do want him to recover. Mostly because I want to see how he manages to blame for his current condition, given that everyone responsible for the maintenance and redesign of the water system in Flint is a Democrat.
The cognitive dissonance alone would be worth the admission price.
We know that lead poisoning causes insanity and certainly irrational thinking. For example we know that the denizens of ancient Rome just prior to the fall thereof , particularly their leadership, is known to have high amounts of lead in their bodies. Similarly, we know King George also suffered from lead poisoning.
With all that in mind it occurrs to me to ask whether or not the leftist politics that we’ve seen coming out of Michael Moore was lead poisoning induced insanity.
That in turn, led me to consider that leftist politics holds sway in most major metropolitan areas. Areas which have older water systems, which routinely use lead piping. I note the correlation, and I wonder if there is more than mere correlation.
Now, I doubt I have to draw a line from A to B to C on this one, but perhaps it’ll be worthwhile to examine where liberal politics do not hold sway. Areas that those in the aforementioned big cities like to call “fly over country.”
In those areas water systems are more individually kept, and less Municipal inputs to such things, and they tend to be someone younger systems, and better maintained. And, what do you know, far less in the way of leftist politics.
Other matters. It occurs to me to note that if Ted Cruz was a Democrat, and then press would be all over the fact that he had managed as a Hispanic to turn in an impressive showing in Iowa and in New Hampshire. I guess being a minority only counts when you’re a Democrat.
I noticed the stock market crash [2] going even further. Now we’re starting to see huge amounts of gold and other tangible items being sold as a hedge against the Obama economy. Welcome to hope and change.
And down the road I go. I’ll see you tomorrow.
