The joke — old and worn by now — is that Charles Manson was admitted to the hospital recently so that Trump wouldn’t ask him to perform at his inauguration. They can’t get anyone to play this thing — they’re down to Scott Baio and Grumpy Cat.
But the Inaugural Parade is a different matter. Accepting a plea invitation to march in the parade are the Texas State University Strutters — the second-most famous dance team in Texas, and also the largest in the nation.
But this is causing great wailing and gnashing to teeth on the TSU campus, where many in the student body, which is 33 percent Hispanic and 10 percent black, are not real happy to be represented at Trump’s march down Pennsylvania Ave.
