Tweet of the Absurd

Another week comes to a close but not without the president-elect tweeting nonsense in the early morning hours.

I have a vision of him sitting on the throne in his gilded bathroom Android device in hand.  While contemplating the call of nature he's contemplating what manner of distraction he can distill to 140 characters or less.  I hope he washes his hands afterwards.

This week brought us a revisitation of the nuclear arms race and a request that Boeing magically produce a less expensive - but comparable - alternative to Lockheed Martin's F-35 fighter jet.  Never mind that this results in Lockheed shares plunging by more than 2 percent.

As per usual these early morning bathroom pronouncements are devoid of facts and background.  Nonetheless, they're useful inasmuch as the vast throng of low information followers hardly ever over think something.  My takeaway is this.  If you wouldn't take advice from a teetering drunk at the bar take the tweets with a grain of salt.

The President-elect tweets the absurd. 

Manna for his minions.
