Well, I was all geared up for Eric Deters’ release of his mysterious 16-minute tape — you know, the one that was going to take down the Trump administration. I waited for it all day yesterday, scanning the incoming news reports every 15 minutes, ready for a little excitement on an otherwise boring day, and then . . .

Nothing.

My first thought is that someone got to him, either to warn him off or to buy his silence. My second thought . . . no, I don’t really have a second thought. What I believe — and it is just a guess — is that the whole thing was a scheme in search of a big payday, and he has already received his answer.

Of course, if I’m right, we’ll probably never know the whole story. But I have other things to worry about besides Eric Deters’ wellbeing, like what to scratch off of my grocery list this week to keep it within budget . . . or whether I can squeeze in another hour of sleep before starting on those weekend chores.

I’m sure there will be something more interesting in the news a little later. Unfortunately.

Just sayin’ . . .
