The holiday season can be stressful for me and, lately, I’ve been stressed a lot! This year has been one long orange nightmare for me… and our country. Trying to get in the Christmas spirit, I recorded a parody of a happy song I remember from my childhood – “All I Want For Christmas Is My Two Front Teeth”, by Donald Yetter Gardner.

The letter above appeared in our local newspaper’s opinion section:
I am sure similar letters appear throughout newspapers all over our country. This is my response to the letter:

The golden dawn, the acceptance of the extreme right into government in Norway, the resurgence of the worst kind of Nazis in the Baltic, Austria & Hungary, Greece - the media romance of France with the front national - these are all cause for concern but history instructs us that these thugs always appear when there is crisis.

(Attorney General Jefferson Beauregard Sessions calls a media conference. Since graphically it is impossible to reproduce Mr. Sessions’ very genuine southern drawl – which is personified in his comico-serio name – that fact constantly should be kept in mind while reading his portion of the dialog.)

I requested a reprint of my below dialog, which appeared in this space two years ago. I did so, not to boast of any great prescience on my part, rather to demonstrate how any one of us easily could have extrapolated into the Oval Office the overblown antics of a 71-yer-old man-child.

Perhaps you have not heard;
Mount Rushmore is incomplete.
Those guys up there are absurd’
They are, all four, at his feet ==
With, maybe, one exception:
Yes, yes, he will allow
Abe Lincoln, without objection.
He’s one big hero – wow!

Writer’s Note: The real President does not recognize the term, but the attempt to keep up with his rapidly shape-shifting shenanigans is nothing short of, “Chaos”

How long will the neutered, ninny nincompoops in Congress just sit there in their own excrement, while a raving maniac driver, hauling Super Trailer U.S.A., continues hell-bent for leather down the road to perdition? They, and they alone, hold the ignition cutoff switch. Their shameful lack of action, protecting their petty, political perquisites, to the detriment of the hegemony of the nation, not only is beyond contempt, it is indictable treachery!

Leave the Confederate monuments!
Adorn them with their sin.
Allow them to speak their volumes,
Let them hold nothing in.
Beside the general on horseback,
Place a slave-whipping post.
Surely, the general in question won’t mind –
In the way of life for which he fought,
Of that type of brutality they did boast.
