The Trumps get cheered and booed while Alex Trebeck gets some love: The week in review

He's been booed at recent appearances, so students were threatened with the loss of their tickets if that happened there. Because of that, plus being that it's Alabama, Trump received massive cheers. I'm not saying that's why Alabama lost the football game, but.....Karma?

    Every five years or so I decide to update this section. I can't believe I've been doing this for close to ten years. The last time I did this I was close to sixty years old. Now I'm just a few months away from the big 7-ZERO. Scary AF!!! I'm pretty sure I won't be doing an update when I hit 80, but you never know. But until then, lets just be grateful.
