This is the week that is. Next Tuesday is the all-important primary.
There must be big money involved since I saw a Mapp TV ad on ESPN Sunday.

For those who have an interest in other religions:
Muslims are now celebrating the holy month, Ramadan to
commemorate the first revelation of the Quran to Muhammad For
the true observant it is obligatory to fast daily from sunrise to sunset. That
includes foods and liquids.
Jews celebrate Shavuot starting at sunset on Tuesday, May 30 and ending
on the evening of Thursday, June 1. It is not a major holyday.
Shavuot has been identified since biblical times with the giving of the Torah on Mount Sinai. Among the extreme Orthodox
there is a tradition of staying up all night studying Jewish texts in what is
called a tikkun. On Shavuot the Book of Ruth is read. Traditionally dairy foods are eaten on Shavuot, because it was the time of
cheese making; cheese cake is a common food.
