Momo made me promise to write less politically charged posts, and for the better part of a year, I have struggled but accommodated her request. There have been maybe two that I sneaked in under the radar during the wee morning hours under my assumed name, which I can’t divulge for fear of repercussions or worse. Only Mooch and Hi-Ho Steve-A-Reeno know my secret squirrel identity. A few of my blog non-regular readers ratted me out via the WordPress comments boxes, threatening to reveal my real name and where I live. The address on my blog, personal information, and stats are fake, so take your best shot, little Deputy Dogs. I will admit that since I have become a political newt, I sleep better when I manage to sleep. My appetite has returned to my favorite diet of tomato soup and chocolate pudding, so there is an upside to depriving myself of the joy of skewering, defaming, harassing, extorting, and embarrassing all politicians, especially the ones in my home state of Texas.
I watched the State of The Union sitcom tonight, one eye covered, no hearing aids, and a triple Jim Beam on the rocks. I was hoping for at least forty-five minutes of ranting, lying, clenched fists, frothing, spitting, and deranged behavior, but I was surprised when I got a one-hour and seven-minute performance that met my recently lowered expectations. The gal from Georgia, the blonde that is fit, with a cutting witt, and possesses Bull of the Woods size gonads, was a breath, or maybe it was a yell of fresh air. Over the decades, I’ve watched many of these “rah-rah” pep rallies, and this one took the tiny trophy of being the most pitiful and lamest of them all. The newest, so far, Speaker of the House may have a career in comedy when he leaves politics. His facial expressions were brilliant, with Lenny Bruce’s reincarnated sense of timing. The man has sad eyes, bright eyed bushy tailed eyes, rolling eyes, smirky smiles, sad teary trembling lip smiles, hang-dog head down, side glances, serial killer stares; Yoda, the force is with me smiles, and drill baby drill looks into the back of old Joe’s hair plugged head; he’s the best I’ve seen. Plus, he is a coon-ass from Louisiana…ahhh yeee.
I felt bad for the Supremes, sitting there, all dressed in their tailored black gowns, looking all professional and deliciously judicious. If looks could maim a man, then all nine of them had the same expression for old Joe when he told them he was going to reverse their constitutional decisions, scolding them like naughty schoolchildren caught cussing on the playground. Hey, Joe, those folks know where you and Hunter live, and now they are pissed off.
Why did most of the Democratic women representatives wear white pantsuits? Are they now re-born virgins? Are they Hulu Hand Maiden’s? Anna Rittenour should phone and remind them you aren’t supposed to wear white after Labor Day; I’m an old guy, but I know that bit of fashion sense. And why are these youngish, sour-faced women holding little personal cardboard signs to their chests when the camera pans them? I thought that behavior and personal protest were prohibited in the chamber. Well, I guess since Rummy Eyed Ice Cream Queen Pelosi tore up an official State of the Union address, which I believe is against some sort of arcane law, any type of behavior is acceptable. If so, the house speaker should have set off a cherry bomb behind old Joe and see how long it would take for Jill and the clean-up crew to make it to the podium. Now that would have been funny.
I figure I’ve got about four or maybe five summers left, then it’s adios, little doggies, and I’m heading to the last roundup up there in them-thar clouds. Momo and the rest of my extended family will have to understand when something as good as we watched tonight comes along, I gotta do what I do. I promise, no more politics until at least November.

I wasn’t watching close enough, never saw Florance Ballard, Mary Wilson or Diana Ross anywhere in the chamber. It must have been those black robes.
Cherry bomb? Oh! Clean up on Aisle 1, up front & center. Good one Phil.

Except our speaker of the house was on board with nuclear war against Russia and sending billions to Ukraine. Otherwise you nailed it.

I read reams of information on all of these guys, and can say that I don’t know exactly where any of them stand or what they have done in the back rooms. Both sides are as slippery as Raccoon crap on a wet driveway. I don’t trust any of our representatives in DC. They make themselves too easy to skewer.

(1) All that was missing was a hellish red background and the Empty-Headed Hyena wielding a loaded sniper gun with a hair trigger…
(2) I enjoyed watching Mike Johnson’s reactions. His facial expressions were political gold.
(3) I got a big chuckle out of Marjorie Taylor Greene wearing a MAGA hat! How cool was that?!
(3) Katie Britt is being lambasted for what many consider an over-the-top theatrical rebuttal. I thought she did a great job!

Yep, I agree with all you say. Katie, young and full of p&v is passionate about our country and her role. She made us proud. Johnson would make a great Mime.

I watched the first of a re-run beginning when Joey B shuffled in and gracefully made it to the podium. It took me about 10 or 11 minutes for my face to turn red. What was he thinking when he pretty much picked a fight with Putin? Oh well, Revelation promised us a Third World War sometime…

GG, yes the Bible did promise that. All the signs point to a WW3, and Biden just might be the demonic puppet that will give us that. I made it through the entire rant. There was no comforting speech about the nation, only attacks and scolding of our Supreme court and us Christian conservatives. Momo and I have been in a state of craziness all day after the televised attack on most of America. All I can do at this point, is make fun of our anointed leaders, at least laugh about it.
