Not in the mood to write so I scanned the news to see if anything demanded that Small Potatoes opine upon it. Considering that the GOP candidates had another debate last night, you know that the news will be overflowing with articles from all angles.

Tonight:

No shock to hear that Mike Huckabee AND Dr. Ben Carson are accused (with plenty of evidence) of pushing bogus "cures" for profit. As far as I'm concerned, they are both just two more Evangelical hucksters taking advantage of people's faith. I know that Carson is a famed neurosurgeon but being brilliant in that field is no assurance of even common sense in other areas of life. He thinks our tax system should be modeled on one found in the Bible. Iron Age (maybe Bronze) accounting for financial control of arguably the world's greatest power. No thanks. Huckabee I have no use for whatsoever. Radical world view.

Lot of articles about Jeb Bush wimping out after being parried in a verbal attack on Marc Rubio during the debate last night. On another interview today, when pressed with an uncomfortable question, he folded off into some nonsensical  circular logic. I think I know what's happening. Mr. Bush, a privileged, good old boy, white guy who has been fed entitlement his whole life, and who has issued orders to others much of that life, hasn't been talked to in a confrontational way for a very long time. Doesn't know how to react to confrontation he normally doesn't experience.

Glad to see that another privileged snot came into his comeuppance. Owen Labrie gets jail time for an assault against a freshman girl at the elite St. Paul's School in Concord, NH. I think most punks like this go unpunished. Tough girl to stand her ground. Way tougher than him. It was a game with him. Supposed to do a year in jail and 5 probation. Register as sex offender.  Hope he doesn't squiggle out.

TV:

Bones: Habit, besides, nothing else on except news and reruns.

Project Runway: My favorite shows of each season is when the designers return home to create their lines. It turns the finalists from designers to people. Fun show. Starts tonight.

Haven: Dropped this couple of seasons ago but may jump in just to see where things are now.

L.A. Hair: Guilty pleasure reality show which has no reality whatsoever. But I like the characters in it.
