Let's list some of the plate's contents: A hefty hunk of steamin' junk ( Thanks, James Taylor)
1. Hope and Change did not apply to fattening up the oligarchs, so that forceful action couldn't be taken against lawless players on the world stage.
2. An opposing party full of haters and, liars, protecting the oligarchs.
3. Still no relief for the unemployed, but a quick billion for Ukraine.
4. A disgusting and sophomoric confrontation between the two ranking members of the House Committee on Oversight. Two men who's legislative body has an approval rating of 13%.
5. A nasty partisan slugfest, filled with lies bought by dark, dirty money for the Keystone Pipeline. Amid the noise, the people who live near this pipeline are likely to not be consulted as to what THEY want
6. A President who became so tone deaf, as to feeling a need to play golf at a club that probably would not admit him as a member. Unofficial reason for not wanting him there- he bashes the rich and supports policies that necessarily need to restore a sense of fair play and hope to millions living below the poverty line. Class warfare and stoking up the 99%.
7. One of the stupidest governors in the U.S. has decided that Jimmy Carter is now the second worst President ever-- which was followed by a potential future Governor to mention POTUS 39 in the past tense-- like'dead ya know,' prompting Carter to remind that person, "Donald, I'm still alive."
Another part of the song, had the refrain, "And the Band Played on."
I have no choice but to sip copious amounts of Booker's Bourbon and to cook great food this weekend- that is before the kitchen ceiling is taken down on Monday to mitigate mold and water damage from last week's ice, snow, melt and subsequent pipe bursting.
Yes, I was at Soldier Field last Saturday night and cheered as the Blackhawks totally dominated the Pittsburgh Penguins. I expect the Bourbon to help me forget the upper respiratory thing that happens when you sit outside in snowy cold weather.
I hope to be back by Monday because if nothing else, life is interesting.
