BREAKING THE ICE WITH A STORY ABOUT NOTHING

 

Blogger Jerry McHale

As is my wont, after picking up breakfast for two at Misty's Cafe, I checked out the Brownsville blogosphere.

Blogfather Jerry McHale opened up the morning with a dissertation on cardinal and ordinal numbers.

Jerry is 72, will soon be 73, and, at that point, will enter his 74th year.

Juan Montoya broke fast with a clever Trump cartoon and will likely follow with a personal composition by midmorning.

One would have to think that Trump cartoons have a limited shelf life, an expiration date of November 6, 2024.

Some day soon a booth at the Hwy 77 Flea Market will have MAGA hats spread out on a table, a buck each.  I'm visualizing the future with a construction worker operating a jack hammer, wearing a MAGA hat and a shirt that says "Girls Volleyball."

Yet, my gut aches in realization that millions of Americans will vote for such an obvious con artist if given the chance.  

Trump, we've heard, is planning on his third presidential victory, still claiming 2020 in the win column and contemplating a vast increase in power for the executive branch going forward.

Vlad Putin and Kim Jong Un are impressed.

Gotta go!  My biscuits and gravy are getting cold.
