Gaetz Fates

Somebody show Matt Gaetz the gate.  Another Trumpublican who has gotten himself wedged between a rock and rock bottom.  Looks to me that he ain’t gonna make it through his 1st term.  I don’t think that’s a problem for him as the word on the street seems to be that he doesn’t even wanna be there.  He’s been entertaining the thought of leaving the House early and going to work for Fox News, which turns out to be news to Fox News.  More word on the street is that no one on any level can confirm any communication over the matter.  The only tie to Fox News that Gaetz has had was an interview last evening with Tucker Carlson in which Carlson was quoted as saying something about it being one of the weirdest interviews he was ever involved with.  I didn’t see it, I was too busy darning my socks.  No way can Fox News compete with my socks.

Truth be known, if you had walked up to me 27 minutes ago and asked if I would write an article about Matt Gaetz with references to Tucker Carlson, I would have told you I would rather stick needles in my eyes.  I have no interest in discussing nauseating life forms.  But if you had said that you have faith in whatever I came up with would be entertaining, well, let’s just say that I could be bought.  I don’t think I have anything to worry about since all the shit that’s come out about Congressman Gaetz these past few days is more entertainment than should be allowed by law.  The very 1st thing and I wouldn’t even have to mention anything new, is completely reprehensible on it’s own merit.  All I need to bring up is this one teeny weeny vote that took place back in 2017.  You remember 2017 don’t you?  Isn’t that the year we all started carrying our passports with us?  Anyway, the House took up a vote for anti-human trafficking legislation and he was the only House member to vote against it!  Wha?  That’s right.  No problem though as he was already on my *hit list.  One of his 1st acts in Congress was a call for the abolition of the Environmental Protection Agency.  Talk about not even getting to 1st base, he was out before he even struck out!  

Gaetz and controversy go hand in hand.  Right now, as we speak, nasty allegations are hitting him from all sides and are so numerous I don’t have the space to go into all the details which go back to when he was a Representative in the Florida State Legislature.  During that tenure, his driving record took a big hit with 16 violations to his credit.  Way to take one for the team Matt.  The bad news is, all that is kid stuff compared to today’s complications.  He’s been called a firebrand Florida Republican and a close ally to the Golden Calf, but now it seems his past has caught up with him and his future looks dim.  That roaring fire is now just glowing embers with him being grilled on a turning spigot. 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...
