Conversation heard across America at offices on Monday morning:  Hey, did you see who won the Masters after Phil and Tiger flamed out?

 Yeah, me neither.

Nothing against all the worthy golfers in the playoffs, but wasn’t the Masters’ ending kind of like watching  the NBA finals if the Lakers and Cavaliers had been eliminated in the first round??

But for Americans who like to cheer for people they haven’t been paying attention to all year…here come the Stanley Cup Playoffs…

Usain Bolt, 22, of Jamaica, has just admitted smoking marijuana in this youth.  In homage to Saturday Night Live “I’m really shocked,” said absolutely no one.

Although at meets within Jamaica, can “non-use” of marijuana be considered performance-enchancing?

–

Doritos has just come out with  “late night” flavors of their tortilla chips. Seriously.  The flavors are “Taco” and “Jalapeno Poppers.”  Presumably that allows them to get one flavor each endorsed by Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps.

And just apropos of nothing.  Except the budget deficits faced across the country by states including California.  Marijuana remains illegal in this country…and the last three Presidents have admitted to smoking it.  (As did the children of the two who preceded them.)
