A lighthearted look at news of the day:
Donald Trump apparently decided to pattern his campaign after another successful presidential candidate. It’s just too bad that candidate was James Knox Polk.
---
Polk launched the war against Mexico. For that, he got modern-day Arizona, Utah, Nevada and California. Trump launched insults against Mexicans. For that, he got fired from NBCUniversal and lost the right to air his beauty pageants.
---
To be fair, though, beauty pageants weren’t much to speak of in the 1840s, and even though Polk gained Nevada, there wasn’t much happening on the Las Vegas Strip. So Trump didn’t do much worse.
---
When you’re running against 13 other GOP candidates for president, you have to find a way to stand out from the crowd. In retrospect, though, maybe Trump should have just stuck to shellacking his hair.
---
Maybe the Republican strategy is to get so many people running for president that no one in America is left to vote for Hillary Clinton.
---
Meanwhile, Chris Christie joined the race with the slogan, “Telling it like it is.” That’s better than Hillary Clinton’s, which is, “Telling you there’s nothing in those emails.”
---
The good news is Greece may soon be restoring its old currency, the Drachma. The bad news is the face on the 1 Drachma note might be Bernie Madoff.
---
President Obama announced last week the United States is opening an embassy in Havana. So now we have American businesses thriving in communist Vietnam and official relations with Castro’s Cuba — not to mention 86 cities in Utah wanting to raise sales taxes. To be fair, our parents warned us strange things would happen if we didn’t stop listening to Rock ‘n Roll.
