NOUN

  • 1[mass noun] Government by the least suitable or competent citizens of a state:

The Undoing of Hillary in the Midwest – “Arrogance”

November 17, 2016 By: El Jefe Category: 2016 Election, Hillary

Many of us have yet to recover from the shock that Cheeto Jesus, the singularly worst candidate to ever run for President, beat a clearly more qualified Hillary Clinton last week.  (Yeah, yeah, yeah, I get she got more votes, but that fact, along with $3.65, will get you a pumpkin spice latte from Starbucks).  I did my first post mortem using my own observations, but stories are now leaking out from the inside about clear failures on the part of Hillary World to recognized clear signs that her margin in the midwest was fading fast in the last weeks of the campaign.  Sam Stein published a piece yesterday about that very thing, where state operatives used the (more…)

Who Says Donald Trump Doesn’t Have a Sense of Humor?

News:  Rick Perry is being considered for a cabinet post.  That’s not the funny part.  Here’s the funny part:

Former Texas Gov. Rick Perry is reportedly being considered for a Cabinet position as President-elect Donald Trump’s transition team seeks to solidify its list of candidates.

According to a report from The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday, Perry is now being evaluated for a potential job as Energy Secretary.

Yes, Energy Secretary – the department he couldn’t remember during his Duh moment.  Damn, Trump, that’s mean.

By the way, Perry wanted to eliminate the Department of Energy.  Well, I guess screwing it up is pretty much the same thing.

Lost and Found

November 16, 2016 By: Primo Encarnación Category: Uncategorized

Lost in Schiller Park:

An antique keepsake ring

Last Wednesday after dark

Near the baby swing

 

Lost last Saturday

Inside the roller rink

A pair of gym shoes: grey

With laces red and pink

 

Found on Wicket Hill

At Foster Ave and Sayers

A hundred dollar bill

Giving thanks and prayers

 

Lost: a Pekingese

He will answer to Slim

Please call this number -Please!

His family misses him

 

A pocket watch and chain

Was found by Parker’s Lea:

Last week after the rain

Inscription says JP

 

Lost on Tuesday last

All of our future hopes

The country of our past

Is now the charge of dopes

 

Found the other day

A reason to go on

To find another way

And beat them ‘til they’re gone.

Yeah, but will he respect that flag in the morning?

So, attempting to make whoopie with the American flag is the new sign of respect.

Damn, Sid, you’re an idiot.  Tic Tac, anyone?
