Good? Morning              
      
   We're having more and more difficulty getting up in the morning.

   Can't imagine why. Our blog this week about dark matter in the universe and its gravitational pull got us to wonder. Is there an increase in dark matter on the other side of earth in the morning, making us heavier? 

   If you run across a scientific paper on this, please let us know.

Tapping Sources of Wealth   

   Also this week, we wrote about politicians who want to raise taxes on the rich, those undeserving rascals. 

   Have you noticed? The pols always infer that it's the capitalists - you know - the Ebeneezer Scrooges. They never complain about our entertainers, including professional athletes, or themselves.

   We've identified some additional sources of wealth for socialists to confiscate.

   Four of the Boston Red Sox account for $95 million of the team's $221 million payroll: Price, $31; Martinez, $23; Porcello, $21, and Betts, $20. 

   Four of the New York Yankees - $207 million payroll - account for $87 million this year: Stanton, $26; Tanaka, $22; Ellsbury, $21, and Chapman, $18. 

   We're happy to share this discovery with socialist politicians in Washington. It's time to cry foul on the ball players (such inequality!), and then go after our favorite actors, singers and other celebrities.

   Oh...what's that? Extraordinary wealth is okay, so long as it's people we like?
