like a Patsy Cline song

The world has officially gone crazy

     I proclaim it thus, so it must be.
     I am the chief crazy.  I started winter with 2 Bears knit hats....as of today, I have none.  I even bought a hat!
     I have some Swiss hats, but they are so well made they get my head too hot....and heat makes my brain go bonkers.
     I take comfort in me not being the only one nuts.
     Some examples:
     Tide is cautioning teens not to eat the soap pods just because their friends on social media tell them they are actually food.  Seriously?  America needs to teach kids how to do laundry so they don't make this mistake.
     A Republican and a Democrat in the Florida state house gave a new meaning to bipartisanship when it was revealed they were sleeping with each other. 
     An 83 year old bigot who still thinks Obama was born in Kenya (he has proof, just can't show it) and is a pardoned felon is running for the senate in Arizona and he might not be the farthest right Republican running!
     Eric Greiten, dishonorable governor of Missouri, is accused of threatening to blackmail a woman he had a consensual sexual relationship with if she disclosed the relationship.  He supposedly has pictures of her tied up to a pole that she said he threatened to publicize if she blabbed.  You may have seen this honorable, family man in Rauner commercials, thanking Madigan for all the people and jobs going to Missouri.  Wonder how close Bruce will stand next to his good friend now?  The ad has already been pulled.  And his wife said she was aware of the affair, but it happened before he became governor, so I guess it's all right because the family values mantra doesn't start until you are in office and telling other people how to live their lives.
     A 15 year old girl in Massachusetts was running a drug ring from her bedroom.  Her mother said she thought the girl was only selling pot, not all the other drugs police found.  Oh, mom, by the way....not a good idea for your daughter to have an 18 year old boy living with her in your home and dealing drugs.  I don't think she will be a mother of the year candidate.
     A guy in Florida was arrested for impersonating a Saudi Arabian prince.  This guy has been arrested several times and has racked up  thousands of dollars in hotel bills, restaurant bills, credit card bills all because people believed him when he told them he was a prince.  He even got a credit card with a $200 million credit line after he threatened the company that he would tell his father he had been denied a card! 
    Sometimes the news is full of stupid people doing and saying stupid things. 
    But I bet they all have hats.
