This election year it’s time for brain worms!
The dead worm found in Bobby Jr.’s brain is polling higher than Joe Biden in 11 states. So reports America’s most trusted fake news site, Babylon Bee.
Blaska Policy Werkes, Madison WI’s most trusted source of bile, orders compost worms delivered to his Experimental Work Farm (and Penal Colony). Could be some got loose. Might be why we hear that Trump is having difficulty recruiting Secret Service agents willing to bunk with him at Riker’s Island. Like old inmate Brooks asking Andy Dufresne if he was going to eat that worm found in his morning gruel. Andy responds: “I wasn’t planning to.” That’s almost presidential.
Might explain the current state of our politics. January 6 was Nancy Pelosi’s fault, or an FBI Deep State false flag, or an AARP tour guided by Capitol Police who forgot to tell Ashli Babbitt the doors swing out. Our schools are dumbed down. Churches are empty. Borders are open. Jails emptied. Jews hounded. University professors defend pulling down an abolitionist’s statue and moving a 42-ton glacial boulder accused of racism. Never have our pronouns been more political.
Our colleges look like a Bedouin encampment. No one trusts the news unless its conforms to their views. Every ballot gets cross-examined in court. The college sports transfer portal is busier than a Trump lawyer. Khruschev is due at Idlewild, 🎵 Car 54 where are you? 🎶
God bless America!
The graveyards are full of indispensable people. But losing Paul Ryan and Mike Gallagher, Mitt Romney and Mike Pence hurts. Those gentlemen (we use the term sparingly and advisedly) have received death threats — from fellow Republicans — while M.T.G and A.O.C. continue to writhe through the leaf mold. Mamas, don’t raise your children to run for office! There remain people of good will; but too many are afraid to speak up. We could use another Ricky Gervais on the ballot, talking smack to power like he did at the 2020 Golden Globes.
“I don’t care any more. I’m joking; I never did. Let’s have a laugh at your expense. Remember, we’re all going to die some day and there’s no sequel.” — Ricky Gervais
Those who are not afraid are banding together. I am proud to call former Gov. Scott McCallum a friend. He is more principled than the majority of political figures with whom I have worked or studied — and that includes this irascible bloggeur. The Governor teamed with former Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel journalist David Haynes to form the Wisconsin Alliance for Civic Trust, or WisACT, to “build bridges across the political spectrum to prevent the erosion of public trust and the rise of political violence.”
Their nifty website is looking for dedicated leaders and community members who want to improve the quality of our democracy and who agree with our three commonsense principles:
• Committing to truth in our politics
• Engaging peacefully with our fellow Americans
• Supporting our electoral democracy
Blaska’s Bottom Line: considers those fighting words but he signed up anyway. You can, too.
