Very Truly Yours, Mr. President, SIR

Dear Mr. President:

I am a senior on Medicare. I have heard about your scheme to divert $90 for each of us from a fund intended for other purposes, in a transparent, frowuppy attempt to bribe us to vote for your side in the coming election. 

SIR, they say that every man has his price. I don’t know whether that’s true. Nor can I be sure whether I, too, have my price.

But SIR, as surely as God made little green apples, and as surely as it DOES rain in Indianapolis in the summertime, my price, SIR, is not goddamn ninety dollars, SIR.

If I ever get my $90, SIR, it will go immediately to support for Democratic candidate—whose first objective, SIR, will be to impeach your fat ass, SIR.

Because, SIR, among your extraordinary list of faults, you, SIR, are a ninny and an incompetent nincompoop, SIR.

Very truly yours,

Ronald Wilson Davis

55 Days To Go

Like the man who once greeted Justice Felix Frankfurter “with great relish,” I look forward to the GOP midterm convention that begins today. My avid anticipation arises from Cheeto Benito’s plans to make the message ALL ABOUT TRUMP.

The Wall Street Journal has a story entitled “An $88,600 Photo With Trump: GOP Hopes to Raise Millions During Convention.” For Democrats, that would be money very well spent. Velveeta Voldemort deserves our full and unstinting support in his messaging campaign to remind EVERYONE, even those of the meanest intelligence, that HE is the one in charge—and that HE is the person responsible for their misery.

The Strait of Our Moose

The Welland Canal allows ships to travel between Lake Erie and Lake Ontario, bypassing Niagara Falls. 

A Canadian recently posted this thought: “Every ship entering the Great Lakes goes through the Welland Canal, located fully in Canada. There’s no other option. $26.3 billion of US trade depends on it. Would be a shame if tolls skyrocketed or it was transit-taxed heavily…

Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
