I was really hoping that "President" Trump would have been arrested today. Or at least resigned. Because today is Richard Nixon's (January 9, 1913 – April 22, 1994) birthday and there would have been something poetic about it.
Of course, my friend Tricky Dickey isn't the only one with a birthday today. There's more than a couple of notable ones today. Maynard G. Krebs and Gilligan (Bob Denver). Karel Capek (He gave us the word Robot). Joan Baez. Kate Middleton. Imelda Staunton. And Jimmy Page.
That's a whole lot of candles that need to be blown out along with a lot of cake that needs to be eaten and I don't want to depress anyone into skipping those joyous activities but there is a real bustle in my hedgerow.
Yes, it's the Trump thing again. Still no arrest. No resignation. Not even on Dick's birthday! But don't panic yet. There's still four and a half hours left of today...So there is still hope!
So get back to your cake and ice cream. And just trust that good news will be here by midnight!

A lot of people think that but I respectfully hope that you've never been more wrong about anything in your entire life.

@GreatMartin It's OK. I'm surrounded by negativity but I still believe!

Funny thing, I was going to write a Happy Birthday Jimmy Page post but then I thought, no, don't steal @xander6464's thunder.....
Well... some of these people with birthdays yesterday are (arguably) more influential than Zoso, but I still don't seem to care because I come from the land of ice and snow....
2020 isn't so far away anymore, if that helps

You could have done a birthday post, there's plenty of room for everyone!
Yeah, 2020 is coming fast but I'm still alarmed now.

Seen Joan Baez live, she is fabulous. Read Capek's RUR which is where he introduced the robot to the world

Cool. I wish I had seen her...Maybe I'll even still have a chance. She could still be performing. I need to put RUR on my reading list.

@xander6464 she is still performing - the text of RUR is well worth a look. It is actually a play - I'd love to see it performed - still very relevent today

Oh, no. I never talk about mine. I'm far too modest. I just let all the perfect reviews on Yelp speak for themselves.

I cannot wait what might come up with Trump when we get to the 21st and Martin Luther King's B-day. Does Trump know it is a holiday too?

Yeah, he's still President...But will he make it until midnight tonight? Maybe. Maybe not.
They are fascinating. Especially in how they're grouped.

I just hope there is something really damning in the Muller report so that congress has no choice but to impeach him leading to his eventual ouster. I don't know how else we are going to get rid of him.

I hope it's bad enough to have him arrested before he even resigns. Pence, too.
