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…)

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 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.

Sid Miller on the Facebook Machine:

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?

American Roman Catholic bishops who had become radically right wing over the last 20 years, suddenly reversed course this week when thousands of parishioners became terrified of a Cheeto Jesus presidency.  In 2008 and 2012, the American condpference of bishops actively electioneered from pulpits all over the country, calling a vote for Obama a sin. Now, when they see the terror in their parishioners eyes since last Tuesday.

Now, isn’t there a Bible verse that says something about “reaping what you sow?

Today, Twitter announced it was suspending alt-right twitter accounts.  Alt-right, you say?  You know, those guys who hate everything: women, African-Americans…hmm…It’s actually easier to say what they support, which is white supremacists.  White supremacists with guns.  Since Steve Bannon of Breitbart joined the Cheeto campaign and is now White House chief advisor to… I just can’t say it – to Him, the alt-right has spilled out into the public arena spreading their racist, misogynist, and hate filled rhetoric all over social media.  Yesterday, a week after the elections, Google and Facebook decided it was time to close the barn door, now that the entire herd of horses got out last Tuesday.  Twitter followed suit today, joining the other social media company at the back of the pack, cancelling hundreds of alt-right accounts spewing the same hateful rhetoric.

Thanks, Twitter, for helping us out and being so timely.  (That was sarcasm.)
