The Clown Car

 Many of us bemoan the dearth of performance artists.  Gone are the Kipper Kids, and on the low brow end of the scale, we have lost Carrot Top.  But a vacuum is always filled, even if it is with the grittiest scum.

Into the gap, horns blaring, rides the GOP clown car.  The boredom of governance is way back down the road.  George Santos leaves his own Catholic house, to enter the House as a Jewish son of holocaust survivors.  To counter this semitism, Marjorie Taylor Greene raises the specter of Jewish space lasers. Matt Gaetz, tiring of lap dances from minors, seeks to mine Hunter Biden's laptop.  

As Republicans shield white supremacists who shout, "Jews will not replace us," someone must replace them lest they drive this country into a ditch.

Invertebrate Crawls to the Gavel

 Fittingly The GOP insurrectionist wing waited to bestow the Speakership upon Kevin McCarthy until the anniversary of the January 6th revolt.  But Matt Gaetz held out, denying the Trump toady that loathsome honor.   Trust a pervert to be the lone man of principle in the Republican party.  In the wee hours a wee man had a wee victory.
