Deep Doo-Doo Indeed

We are in deep doo-doo.  Each day that goes by takes away my toleration for Republicans by a factor of 10.  Outside of Governor Cuomo of New York, all of the far out exotic sensationalized headlines we see day to day in the news are Republicans.  Using Mitch McConnell’s own words about a scorched earth, that is what my view is of the future if you put him and his fellow “Pubs” in charge.  I envision a dozen or so of these “Pubs” standing in a malevolent pose in a stark image of a scorched earth.  Speaking of Big Mac, is he trying to threaten the “Dems” with this scorched earth verbiage and try and turn it into something they have been doing all along?  Nice try Mac, but not allowing anything through is the normal “Pub” policy.  Now, if I were in charge, the first thing I would do is remove all the cobwebs they are impeded with.  What’s that you’re trying to say?  Sounds like....olgan....ool gan....oil gan...ahhh, you mean oil can!  Sure tin man, let me fix you up.  All the better to move things through now, eh?  Next!

Up now are the Dirty Dozen.  Let’s see if I can do this without serious verbal damage.  I don’t have much faith.  This is a tad before my time, but back on December 8, 1941, when the vote was cast on the declaration of war against Japan for the day that will live in infamy, there was only 1 dissenting vote. Pretty much of a shoo-in, eh?  There was another vote today and the House passed a Bill to award 3 Congressional Gold Medals to honor the Capitol Police Officers for their actions during the January 6th insurrection.  Now this seems like a no-brainer and something that would be akin to the vote back on the day after the day that will live in infamy, or so you would think.  Well, the Bill did pass with a 413 - 12 vote.  12 dissenters and how did I know that those dissenters would all be Republicans?  Truth be known, it wasn’t a guess folks, it’s the inherent knowledge we have gained in the last few months to predict these sorry-ass excuses they come up with.  I remember the late great stand-up comedian George Carlin and his monologue about there being 600,000 words in the English language and there are 7 you can’t say on television.  Imagine, 599,993 to 7!!!  They must reeeeallly be baaad!!!  So now, without the dramatics, we have 413 - 12!!!  They must reeeeallly be baaad!!!  I’m going to waylay mentioning who they are as some come as no surprise, but they’re all south of the Mason-Dixon Line.  Texas leads the way (of course) with 3, Georgia and Florida with 2 each, followed by Arizona, Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee and Virginia.  Naturally the no surpriser is Marjorie Taylor Greene.  Just think, for once they had a chance to do the right thing, but in the end, they didn’t surprise me.  What was their lame excuse?  They took issue with one word in the Legislation’s language, which was “insurrection” instead of riot.  Chees!  We have elected airhead “Pubs” who don’t understand the Constitution.  Deep doo-doo indeed!  Stay tuned…..!

The McGrinch That Stole Your Stimulus

I disagreed with my wife just now, something that I never do, since the repercussions are quite disturbing.  Here’s what went down.  She stated that Mitch McConnell can’t stoop any lower into the depravity he wallows in.  I stood tall, took a deep breath, looked her right in the eye and spewed out “Yes he can!”  It was a moment frozen in time and then she smiled.   No systematic repercussions followed.  Whew!  Now, as a politician, he has a certain inalienable right to say one thing and mean another, or to talk out of two sides of his mouth, but Mitcheroo, has the extraneous ability to talk out of two faces.  Unfortunately, those two faces resemble both Scrooge and The Grinch.  Isn’t it easy for someone with a net worth of $22,200,000 to stand at a podium in the hallowed halls of Congress and object to raising the stimulus check amount from $600.00 to $2,000.00?  Then there’s Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, who said there are too many citize...

Uncommon Failure

Okay, I’ll let you all be the judge and jury of the following statement that I came across that was buried in the dark corners of the internet where I usually find my strange and highly unusual articles of confoundation.  This is a Los Angeles Times letter to the editor ( https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-04-12/huntington-beach-ku-klux-klan ) about the “burb” of Huntington Beach.  Headline: “Common ground with the Ku Klux Klan?  Huntington Beach has a problem.”  The letter starts off with, “As Huntington Beach was preparing for a Ku Klux Klan rally and, in response, a Black Lives Matter counter protest, police department spokesman Lt. Brian Smith said,” now here’s the kicker, “We hope that they can utilize events like this as a means to find the common ground and work together for the common goal.”  ???  I thought I would substitute the usual WTF that usually follows an incredulous statement like that with question marks.  I never pass up the ...

The New Cult

Past cult leaders the likes of Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh and Jim Jones, exemplary role models for “Moonies”, “Davidians” and “Peoples Templers” are said to have had a charismatic  gift of gab and were able to ensnarl a whole slew of followers into their realm.  They, of course, have since passed into the great beyond.  Moon was 92 when he died of pneumonia, Korish was 33 when he and his zealots died with guns blazing and Jones 47, died with his lemmings from a bad dose of kool-aid.  There was a rumor going around that his last words were, “Hey, did someone spike this stuff!”   Like Stalin, Hitler and Atilla the Hun, these folks had the innate ability to sway the masses.  To this day, I still can’t figure out how.  I was more enamored with garden slugs than those “coots.”  Nowadays, we have a new malady in our midst, an anomaly if you will, who not only doesn’t have a gift of gab, but cannot even enunciate words correctly, uses alternative facts...
