Political Potpourri II

It started out as a slow news day - it was announced that Big Ben was running six seconds fast - so that if you had any meetings in London you would be on time.
Then the Dow began to swoon again followed by Donald Trump's speech in Iowa where many Wisconsinites crossed the border to witness this phenom and snake oil salesman in action. He didn't disappoint as he ejected a respected Latino newsman from the press room. This wasn't quite as bad as when John Chancellor was carried bodily off the convention floor at the 1964 GOP convention - or when Dan Rather was punched in the gut at the 1968 Democratic convention in Chicago. Journalism can be a very risky profession.
