March Madness
FLOATER’S BLOG: Pooless Date March 28th 2025
At this time of year college basketball fans and gamblers (well, mostly gamblers) are caught up in the frenzy that is March Madness.
I became aware of it in the 1980’s when I was fortunate enough to spend many Marches at the spring training camps for the Montreal Expos and Toronto Blue Jays.
Isn’t it weird reading the plural of March – I think that is the first time I have ever had to write it down?
Anyway, the folks I was hanging out with got me into a pool (gambling, not swimming, although I did plenty of that too) every year so I pay some attention since then.
Again, I digress.
The end of the month approaches, I’m in a Mexican semi-desert without a floatable body of water, so I’m swimming in tequila and mescal and I figured March Madness would be an apt title for this month’s rant. Although, it is really just a continuation of January and February Madness. I mean since the January 20th inauguration the madness has been ever-present – AGAIN!
And you know what, or who, I’m talkin’ about; Disinformation Manager #1 – The Don. But this time around he has a great side kick, The Dogerama, a.k.a. Elon ‘Space Man’ Tesla.
I guess its only appropriate that the Fractured States of Disinformation should have these two clowns as mascots – its what 50% of them thought they wanted. The other 50%, the worldly and educated ones, whom I meet while travelling are desperately apologetic for their so-called leaders’ discretions.
Things really turned upside down when these americano uberheros who are supposed to have an arch enemy, in this case a KGB Bolshevik named Vlad, decided to make him a best friend instead. That’ll teach the Ukraine for starting a war!
So, to replace the former enemy, they made enemies with just about every other neighbour on the globe.
And while they are making enemies, why not add Mother Earth to the list by rolling back every good pollution control recently enacted. Yes, it will cost us a little less now, but it will kill our grandchildren. What do we care, we won’t be around, they can deal with it. Anyway, Climate Change is obviously Fake News.
I don’t like to think negative thoughts, but wouldn’t it be great if Mar-a-Lago was flooded out this summer. No time for golfing anyway when you’re destroying the world.
And, what is it with the tariffs? What does The Don think they actually are? Has he ever been into a store to shop for himself?
Does he even care about the consumer who will have price increases on almost every product they purchase? NO!
One more thing, a kitchen sink strainer doesn’t work if you place it on an angle!
Wish I was floating,
