There is, after all, a fluidity between who we were to other people, who we thought we were, who we think we were, and who we think we are now. – Maddie Crum
When you hear about the angry old white male Florida voter, I hope you keep that face in mind.
Lately, I have made a concentrated effort to purge myself of Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Kim and Putin and Individual 1. But then they came to town – not Kim and Putin, but Pence and Don Jr., too – there’s no getting away from them. Like Sophia Loren and Cary Grant in “Houseboat.”
I am so old, I remember when I couldn’t read the newspaper on my phone. I listened to Trump’s entire Orlando concert. Like sitting too close to AC/DC. (A phrase you can’t say around Mrs. Pence.) And if you are going on a nationwide tour, least you should expect from a performer is some new material. Trump is beginning to remind me less of El Duce and more of Boxcar Willie.
I am a lifelong observer of the political scenes, including HOAs, and I even read some history. Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 small plane crash with his best friend, one-eyed pilot Wylie Post, was the greatest political sage this country has known. Apologies to Gary Trudeau.
I have gone to no trouble whatsoever to curate some of the wisdom currently eluding our great nation.
There are three kinds of men. The ones that learn by readin’. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence for themselves.
I don’t make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.
Ten men in our country could buy the whole world and ten million can’t buy enough to eat.
Never slap a man who’s chewing tobacco.
A fool and his money are soon elected.
The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.
Lord, the money we do spend on Government and it’s not one bit better than the government we got for one-third the money twenty years ago.
If you’re riding’ ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it’s still there.
There are men running governments who shouldn’t be allowed to play with matches.
Lettin’ the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier’n puttin’ it back.
This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets hold of a hammer.
After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you’re full of bull, keep your mouth shut.
