Thought For The Night

It's Not A House, It’s A Home*

January 9, 2023

After the number of rounds in a championship heavyweight boxing match – including one round that almost became a boxing match – the spectacularly dimwitted, soulless and dickless Kevin McCarthy became the soon-to-be-shortest-serving-ever Speaker of the House. And a great cheer went up from almost no one.

Kevin McCarthy finally gets what he always wanted,
though he has no idea what to do with it

The New McCarthyism

Like George WTF Bush, who wanted to be president in the worst way, and succeeded beyond anyone’s nightmares, McCarthy’s quest to lead the House promises to be equally scarring on the body politic, if not the actual bodies of countless Americans. Like Bush, Jr. McCarthy desperately wanted the job much more than actually doing it, and like Bush has neither clue nor capacity.

Be afraid, be very afraid

It is unclear how many dead congressmen voted for McCarthy. I'm sure chairman of the Judiciary Committee, Jim Jordan will get to the bottom of this via endless hearings just as soon as they clear up Hunter Biden's emails...I mean Benghazi...I mean laptop.

The Coup Congress

McQarthy promises to be historically ineffectual, but those who allowed him to have his day will surely do their best to inflict considerable damage to things like the environment, national intelligence (however you care to interpret that), women’s rights, LGBTQ rights, voting rights, Medicare, Social Security and the global economy, to name just a few. Those Ratpublicans who were most responsible for dragging McQuarthy through the mud of 15 votes, were the same ones who helped carry out, and still support the Trumpian insurrection.

The Coup-koo’s Nest planning our demise

Not included in that group was newly minted, and man of mystery (i.e., endless lies about his life) George Santos, who did his part by flashing a white power sign while casting at least one vote for McQarthy.

George Santos (if that really is his name)
