A 1970 photo opportunity, as they were called then. One would resign in 1974 to avoid certain impeachment, the other would resign on a toilet in 1977.

Every so often an expression comes along that is so stupid, you begin to hate anyone who uses it. And of course, because it’s such a damn catchphrase, you eventually use it yourself, and nothing good ever happens when you hate yourself. Here’s a recap of trite truisms: It is what it is. Life’s a bitch and then you die. Life’s a bitch and then you marry her. YOLO. Don’t worry, be happy. Life’s a beach. Life’s a beach and then you marry her. Shit happens. It’s like rain on your wedding day. Today, it is the nothingburger.

What’s Up With Mitch McConnell?

Posted on October 4, 2018 by sungmokoo

A comic book story based on Mitch McConnell’s years as a reckless teenager. Notice that Superman’s Pal Jimmy Olsen is actually an anagram of Mitch McConnell.

With the pending approval of Judge Brett Kavanaugh into the Supreme Court, the pundits have been bandying about how this could boost the Mitch McConnell legacy. Let’s face it, he needs this, otherwise, he goes down in the history books as the guy who was neither man nor turtle. But, if the Kav goes through, McConnell will be known as the Senator Majority Leader who seated two overly conservative judges. One who loves beer and another known only by the name of Gorsuch.

Dear Senator Grassley

Sad, yet true, Senator Chuck Grassley from Iowa thinks he’s secretly giving you the middle finger, or cleaning his ear. In other words, he’s old and senile. Image Source.

Grassley,

Thank you for making it easier to sleep at night. With good strong people like you at the helm, I am no longer worried about a country unfit for old men like us. I assume you’re a man of so much work there is no time left for play, so I will fill in the reference. There is a Coen Brothers film called No Country For Old Men based on a novel of the same title, written by Cormac McCarthy. It was a frightening fictional world, which you are in the process of preventing from becoming a reality. Thank you again.

Boo Hoo, Kavanaugh, Boo Hoo

Kavanaugh gives the term bad actor a new post-ironic meaning. Between the two of us, he drinks a lot of water before he tells a lie. Image Source

I do not have an iota of empathy for this judge named Brett Kavanaugh. Regardless of whether he is guilty or not, his defense of himself in the court of he said/she said has been nothing short of cowardice on top of fear. He will always be a sniveling weasel who now likes beer, shortly after admitting that he did not have the time to drink with all that school on his plate. He is as credible as a stack of dead decomposing apes in a shopping mall, which is to say, what? Really? What? He consistently proves that he is a poor choice for the Supreme Court.
