Caught My Eye…

So I still hope, as you write your stories, and I appeal to America, that let’s not let this maybe last thing that’s held sacred in our society — a young man, young woman going out and giving his or her life for our country — let’s try to somehow keep that sacred. – Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, (USMC retired) (10/19/17)

Welcome to the big show to end the week “Caught My Eye” (CME)!

If you are a first-time visitor, CME is posted right here every Friday morning. This is when I take a look at some of the stories I did not have time to write about during the week. I often throw in a touch of sarcasm to make you smile – or to irritate you just a little – maybe both.

Topics that I am providing commentary about today include Chief of Staff John Kelly, U.S. Senate & the Budget, Crowd Sizes, Tapper vs O’Reilly, Dumpster Dozing, and One More Thing!
