Welcome back to the Scuttlebutt.   Pull up a bucket, pour a cup, lets chat.   I considered doing a piece on some of the stupider ideas that are now in vogue for Democratic presidential candidates, but it’s been a rough day, (looks like I’m going to have to tear out the upstairs shower to fix a plumbing leak ...

In a world that seems to only harp on the negativity and hatred being passed around, I vote we get off of the news sites and turn televisions off completely.
