Mind Meld Monday

 Trump called Democrats " America's Greatest Enemy". I am shocked by the number of people who consider that to be news. I thought that everyone already knew that!

The filibuster and its ugly stepsister, the blue slip system are not law. They are designed to keep Senators in office as long as they can breathe. The US Senate is not the "greatest deliberative body" on earth!!

Clark Kent could leap from the tallest buildings. If only Joe Kent would give that a try? 

Rather than screaming about the bad things that might happen if they eliminate the filibuster, how about thinking of all the great things that we could accomplish if there was no filibuster?

"Make hay while the sun shines" is a phrase never used in the chamber of the US Senate.

When was the last time that a Senator or Representative collapsed from overwork?

If ICE agents start helping TSA with baggage checks, will Chuck "The Schmuck" Schumer and Half-Wit Hakeem Jeffries demand that they get a judicial warrant before looking at anyone's bags?

There is a really simple solution to the whole TSA mess. The federal government has on numerous occasions shut down private businesses for not paying their employees. Let's apply that same legal principle to the whole air travel system. Shut down all flights until the Democrats vote to fund Homeland Security and TSA. I doubt that the shutdown would last even 24 hours. 

At the start of the old Howdy Doody show, they asked "What Time Is It?" The answer was "It's Howdy Doody Time!" I was distressed to find out today that Joe Biden was not Howdy Doody. Even more distressing was the news that Jill Biden was not Buffalo Bob. I was just sure that Jill had her hand up Joe's ass making him talk. Another childhood fantasy down the crapper.

We could probably raise the average IQ in America by more than twenty points if we could get those damned "Liberty Biberty" ads off the television. Those ads are an embarrassment to the Statue of liberty in the background. The only good thing about those ads is that they are vocabulary builders for Americans. The use of the words "obnoxious" and "repetitive" has climbed to record rates.

Speaking of "repetitive", as previously predicted here, my Leto High School Class of 1971 55th Reunion is scheduled for October 2 and 3. They used to schedule reunions for June or July. Apparently, that wasn't deep enough into the hurricane season for them. It doesn't matter; we weren't going anyway. We have tickets for a Bellamy Brothers concert twenty minutes from home. I just wanted to complain about it. I attended the 10th, the 30th and the 50th year reunions. Based on that history pattern, the next reunion that I should attend would be the 70th year reunion. I am just going to hold off awhile on making hotel reservations for that one.

Hang in there!! There are only a couple of weeks and a couple of hundred games left in the NCAA basketball tournament. This tournament actually exists to weed out overpaid college basketball coaches. There were enough longshot teams that won in the first round to destroy everyone's "brackets". 

The US Navy has a ship named the Cesar Chavez. Apparently, it is a cargo ship that hauls fresh produce like mangoes and melons. Reports are that it is crewed by young women. Terrified of another scandal, the Navy has decided to rename it the "Prince Andrew".
