Leave it to Democrats to become overwhelmed with rat pride
Trump has so angered the Democrats that the DNC held an emergency meeting on Wednesday to review possible changes to their by-laws which, surprisingly, have no mention of rats. Due to the group’s overwhelming sympathy for what Nancy Pelosi described as ground squirrels only dumber, a resolution was brought forward to change the Democrat mascot from donkey to rat.
A heated debate ensued when Representative Nadler pointed out that Trump frequently disparages penguins and that respect for all mammals should be included. Senator Mark Warner from Virginia reminded Nadler that a penguin is a bird… and that Trump was actually calling Nadler Batman’s nemesis, the Penguin.
Into the late evening went deliberations until the members realized that the by-laws currently do not even include the donkey as the current Democrat symbol. However, since “ass” is included, a compromise was proposed by Senator Bernie Sanders to include both as symbols. This was accepted overwhelmingly at which point Representative Ocasio-Cortez added the approved text into the by-laws using goat’s blood and sorcery.
The official symbol of the Democrat National Committee is now the rat’s ass. Editorial cartoonists across the country are scrambling to figure out what one looks like.
Things Congress would rather do than cut the budget
Congress is on recess after completing the difficult job of budget posturing. Like San Francisco’s hope for fighting drug use with government supported drug use, our Congressman and Congresswomen recently developed their treatment plan for deficit spending,… more deficit spending. After all, it’s about safety. The safety of their Congressional seats.
Here’s the big list of things Congress would rather do than reduce the budget.
- Increase the budget
- And anything else
Dossier, what dossier?
Lucky for us, our crack staff of investigative reporters managed to catch Bob Mueller in the halls over at the Dirksen building shortly after his hearing today. There were still some unanswered questions.
me: Bob, got a second?
Bob: Huh? mumble, um, er, mumble. Excuse me while I take the marbles out of my mouth and ears.
me: The Steele dossier wasn’t on the table in today’s hearing Why?
Bob: It was a small table.
me: But the dossier led to the FISA warrants which opened the door to FBI agents who wanted to set Trump’s hair on fire and cut off his tie which led to the collusion conspiracy theories which led to the investigation which led to the reason you’re here today.
Bob: That’s totally incorrect! You have that completely backwards! The FBI agents wanted to set Trump’s tie on fire and cut off his hair.
me: But isn’t it concerning that the FBI was used as a political weapon by one campaign to get an advantage over another?
Bob: When Hillary was crowned as the Democrat’s candidate to go against Trump the only weapon they had available was her charm, good looks and stamina. It was just a case of leveling the playing field.
me: Well thanks. What’s next.
Bob: We’re all off to Nadler’s place. He promised to show us his stomach reduction scar.
A moment to reflect on the Apollo missions
Similar to a piece of dust rolling around behind your eyelid, an incessant hiccup or a toothpick repeatedly jammed into your eardrum, political angst in this country doesn’t seem to leave the back of our mind. However, the irritating triggers that set our teeth to grinding were an afterthought during the recent 50 year anniversary celebrations of the Apollo 11 mission and it’s giant leap for mankind.
On Washington D.C.’s National Mall, a special tribute to the anniversary included a projection of a life size Saturn 5 rocket onto the Washington Monument, complete with clouds of vapor puffing from the rocket’s liquid fuel tanks. Young, old, Democrat, Republican, immigrants, visitors, annoying people who stood up on the lawn so that a friend could find them while perfectly blocking the view of the monument… wwhheeeeeeeewww… deep cleansing breaths. And we’re back.
Our photos are shown above but you can check out some really impressive pics on-line through local Washington DC news coverage as well as a video of the Saturn 5 launch.
The patriotism, the pride, and the excitement of Apollo’s phenomenal achievement was evident on the face of each and every person on the Mall. The opportunity allowed some much needed reflection on John F. Kennedy’s rallying cry that carried us through a decade and arguably instills pride to this day, affirming America’s exceptionalism. A video of his “We choose to go to the moon” speech was even projected. And for those who consider “American exceptionalism” a misery-causing trigger, we suggest a dark room, no internet, and a blankey.
The rest of us think this country is pretty great.
