It's been pouring all morning and the ground is totally saturated. We won't make it out of the 50's so it doesn't look like any soccer or basketball for Coco today. We'll do some running and weight work instead.
Congressman Eric Cantor became the very first U.S. House Majority Leader to ever lose a primary. His challenger, Dave Brut won by almost 12 points. It wasn't even close. Cantor's pollsters showed him up recently by 30 points. The spin machine is already claiming that this defeat is a good thing. Of course, everybody knows a first term congressman basically has zero power. This is the equivalent of firing General Eisenhower and replacing him with Beetle Bailey!
Southwest Airlines discontinued their routes to Key West this past weekend. Something about profitability which I find hard to believe. The flights always seem full and the fares aren't cheap. Key West International airport is my favorite airport with Negril, Jamaica's a close second. At Key West, you disembark onto the tarmac and walk into this small room with a tiny conveyor belt full of suitcases. It has a few chairs and a small bar outfitted in the corner if you can't wait until you get to Duval Street. It all started in 1913 with a flight to Cuba. A truly unique airport.
Ted Cruz officially renounced his Canadian citizenship this past week. The Texas Senator was born in Canada and lived there until he was 4 years old. He's claimed that he was unaware of his Canadian citizenship until a Dallas newspaper pointed it out to him last year. I find that hard to believe coming from a Harvard educated lawyer.
A lot of people chalk it up to being a crazy Canadian. I admire Canada a great deal myself. They don't fight a lot of wars and everyone can see a doctor if they want. Their government wouldn't let an oil pipeline cut thru their country so they sent it south. But they are really a country of pure genius. In a span of one year, they got rid of both Justin Bieber and Ted Cruz. Thanks Canada, thanks a lot!
Later
