Which Way To The Capitol?

I have a lot of faith that there will always be a lot of stupid people that will keep doing stupid things creating stupid consequences.  This is going to be a tale about such a dope that the only thing missing on this guy, besides a brain, is one of those Bill Engval, here’s your sign guy, signs.  First, a little background.  I’m sure that some of you folks out there have been to our Nation’s Capital, Washington D.C.  My family and I made the trip sometime back in Obama’s 1st term.  We went to see all the usual sights there and across the river in Arlington.  There were 2 main sights that were mandatory for me: JFK’s eternal flame gravesite and “The Wall” plus all the wonders we could set our eyes on.  Most of our time was spent on the National Mall which had to be crunched into only 2 days.  The best view of the area was from the Washington Monument.  Everywhere we went felt like hallowed ground and we went and saw everything, even the Marine Corp Iwo Jima Memorial.  I paused for a moment and was humbled by the memory of Joe Rosenthal’s Pulitzer Prize photo taken on Mt. Suribachi on February 23, 1945.  Everything we had seen and taken photos of was simply out of respect for our Nation’s history.  Having said that, in turn, makes me shudder over the events of January 6th, another date that will live in infamy.

Enter 58 year old Kenneth Kelly of Ocala, Florida, just another typical Bozo who admitted that he and others went to D.C. that day to specifically break into the Capitol Building.  This is where things turn more strange for these weird folks and it’s fair to say that they got a tad disoriented.  According to their tweets, Kenny and his fellow misnomered “Patriots” believed they were breaking into the White House.  Wha???  These dildos aren’t only historically hampered they’re also geographically destitute.  It’s possible that their IQ’s will not allow them to know the difference between the 2 historical structures and it can get confusing what with all that was going on at the time, I’m surprised that these morons even knew they were in D.C.  For some of them, it was like any other rowdy evening back home in Podunk.  He and his cohorts must have flunked 9th grade civics, unless they dropped out before then, since their tweets kept getting mixed up with explaining that they were storming the White House and heading to the Senate Chamber where they are hiding under their desks.  More geographical gobbledygook.  No hope for these guys: Here’s your sign!

Needless to say, I am ecstatic that we were able to spend the time together as a family and take in all that history and architecture along with learned geographical content at the time we did.  It all seems so defiled now since the 6th.  I know I could not bear to be anywhere near the place during the last Presidential Term.  Just being there for my conscious self to absorb its essence is to be appreciated, like a fine well-aged wine.  I would hope that D.C. smiled when I looked back as we left town and said, “Veni, Vidi, Vici!”  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...
