Believe it or not

A bizarre load of crap

Sorry. Got to be direct. Maybe you missed it but it was reported on the news that people are tuning into YouTube to watch complete strangers whispering as they quietly fold towels or brush their hair; it supposedly creates what is known as ASMR, which stands for Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response. Enthusiasts describe it as a kind of bliss; seven million people have viewed  a 16-minute clip of Maria, Gentle Whispering, as she's known, brushing her hair.There's more; much,much more and it does get worse than that. What about watching someone fold a towel? Got ten minutes? Come on! 

PS: I've asked my wife to have me sectioned if ever she catches me doing this!

Horses for courses

Melbourne Cup of course!

President Obama  largely has avoided appearing in public with Democratic candidates. Many of them have not wanted to be seen with him because of his poor standing in the polls. Obama is also unpopular in a handful of states where competitive Senate races will help determine party control of Congress' upper chamber for the two years Obama has left in office. Democrats have the majority, but could lose it if Republicans gain six seats.

Instead, Obama has been aggressively raising money for Democratic candidates. Before the rally, he was attending a Democratic National Committee fundraiser with about 25 supporters who gave $16,200 and up to attend the round-table event at the Cape Elizabeth home of Michaud supporters Bob Monks and Bonnie Porta.
