Daughter said the Scots were confused as to why Boston officials had to call their fire department to get the traffic cone off Sam Adams' head. They didn't use all that equipment putting the cone ON ol Sam.

I am truly grateful to all the people who were such good hosts to our international visitors. The US needed to show the world that we are fun, kind, and good. We need to wipe the bad taste of Trump out of everyone else's mouths.

Next, we sweep GOP pols protecting Trump out of OUR government so the world can learn to trust us again.

I would be very curious if fans from Middle Eastern and African nations felt the same hospitality.

I know the Algerian team and staff in Lawrence, Kansas, did, but could that have become such a big story because it was such an anomaly? Just sayin'.
