"Just a suggestion---"

We have only these few moments
To grope from womb to tomb.
And, yet, we seem determined
To trample every bloom.

With downcast eyes we stumble
Through days made dark by fear
And nights of desperation
Filled with sobs no one will hear.

Why not choose love and laughter?
Savor each and every day!
Tell those we love we love them
And make the time to play!

In that inevitable moment
When our final breath has passed,
Let's smile in satisfaction
That the love we loved will last.

Reportedly, McCarthy is about to plumb the depths of "punkitude" with a new

batch of snivelling concessions.

And, the world is watching.

Much has been said about the "insane" or "unhinged" "never Kevin" posse, but not so much

about the man who is the object of their hatred.

I ask this: is it a sane rational person who continues to voluntarily submit to the humiliation, indignity and pain of ANOTHER election? Is there not something "not quite right" about such an individual?

McCarthy has not only "brought a butter knife to a gun fight", he has repeatedly buttered the bread of those shooting him.

If McCarthy is defeated, we will have a House run by the likes of Boebert and Gaetz.

If McCarthy prevails, we will have a House TEMPORARILY cluttered up with a self-gelded loser, but still run by the likes of Boebert and Gaetz.

Every "Republican" who voted for ANY of these "legislative terrorists" SHOULD be ashamed, but---how did Hillary put it?---they "lack the shame gene".

May would be a good time to gather on the Mall in support of our 212.

In a continuing effort to garner more votes in his lifelong quest to be House Speaker, Republican

Kevin McCarthy pledged to have his forehead branded with a capital "L" at least 2.75 inches tall.

For now, he has refused their demand to shave his head.

Stay tuned.

Dear Special Counsel Smith;

Tomorrow, the second anniversary of Trump's insurrection, would seem to be a propitious day on which to announce an indictment of the twice-impeached one-term White House squatter Donald John Trump.

We will be grateful whenever you indict him, but sooner would definitely be better.

Respectfully, "MILLIONS OF US"=

A terse verse for better or worse;

There's blood now in the water and ketchup on the wall!
If MAGA's gone, hear Q-anon: "Where HE goes we go all!"

So, let's give in to temptation, though some may get annoyed.
There's nothing more delicious than some hot fresh schadenfreude!

A TRUTH---a FACT---that we must keep in focus as we watch this parade of Broken Toys fail yet again

to clean up their own mess is that about half of them should be expelled and barred from ever again serving. Several should either be in a cell or confined to their residence wearing an ankle monitor.

What's happening in the House is simple to understand.

The inmates of the "Cuckoo's Nest" are demanding to make their own rules, but this time, Miss Boeb----er----RATCHIT is leading them!
