A lighthearted look at the news of the day:
Michael Bloomberg wants to join the list of Democrats running for president. Why? Because when you’re 77, where else can you go to feel young?
---
Worst case scenario, Bloomberg ends up as the younger running mate to either Joe Biden or Bernie Sanders.
---
Hey, it beats hanging out with the other 77-year-olds down at the corner cafe, where all they do is complain about politics.
---
One interesting note: Most of the serious presidential contenders this year are immune from the “OK, boomer” jokes making the rounds among young people these days. That’s because they’re all older than baby boomers.
---
Speaking of politics, the race to become the Republican candidate for governor of Utah is easy to confuse with the race for the Democratic nomination for president. Either one could qualify for its own group insurance policy.
---
Some lists include 14 possible Republicans candidates for governor. The primary may come down to which candidate can get not only his or her family, but the family next door, to vote.
---
Maybe the impeachment hearings are a giant ruse to distract us all from how the government is set to shut down this week unless there is a budget agreement.
---
Americans would like to worry about these things, but too many of them are trying to book their summer vacations to Fitzgerald, Georgia, which soon will be home to a 62-foot rooster that uses 16 tons of steel and plant materials and has an apartment for rent inside. This promises to be the biggest thing since Cawker City, Kansas, scored the world’s largest ball of twine, which weighs 5,000 pounds and stands 8 feet tall. If your timing is right, you could hit the annual twine-a-thon on your way to a night in the chicken, but then what would you do the next summer?
---
The mayor is using tax money dedicated to tourism to build the chicken. The whole thing will cost $150,000, which isn’t chicken fee … well, you get the idea.
