I hate it when I find myself yelling at the TV in the morning...but I was.

At Mika. She was bragging and laughing that Joe "bested" a famous economist in a debate.

That econ prof was none other than Dr. Paul Krugman.

I went on a rant. "Where's Joe's regular OP Ed column in the New York Times? Where's Joe's Distinguished Professorship of Economics at Princeton and now at CUNY? Where are Joe's degrees from Yale and MIT? Where's Joe's Ph.D?

And where is Joe's NOBEL Prize?

My husband heard my rant and just shook his head. He asked why I let Mika and Joe get to me...

I'm fine now. Rant over.

swearing at the latest thing Trump says or tweets. My husband says “He can’t hear you!”, but it makes me feel slightly better.

As much as I love Dr. K I would think he would decline. He's got a really nice job in academia...

One of the Mikes quit and now it's called Golic & Wingo.

But I call it Mike & Not Mike.

Anyway, I still yell at the TV, but it's for sports instead of real stuff. I got the rest of the day for real stuff.
