Well, good morning this is your Okie friend, Will Rogers. I promised that I would be sharing the news from the democratic convention in the United States just as if did the Republican Convention last week. As you probably know they are gathering in the city of brotherly love. Obviously, the city of Brotherly Love is not a metaphor for the players involved in this particular drama. Who are the players one might reasonably ask? There are many including:
- Bernie – the champion of the poor who is the consummate politician. No need to worry that the United States has an enormous debt. His supporters are not ready to trust the DNC to ignore the debt and provide free everything.
- Little Debbie W. Bless her. Those darn Russians are to blame for outing her emails- not the emails or attitude!
- The Russians or is it the naughty Chinese who are the whistle blowers. How dare they think that they have the right to spy?
- All those who are making a big deal out financial secrets. Clearly there are secrets and then there are secrets.
- The non-brothers – Hilary, Elizabeth, Debbie, Michelle – the gentler, more nurturing gender.
- The ridiculous Berns whose disloyalty was obviously copied from those others meeting in Cleveland last week. Well, Sarah certainly put them in their place. Is she channeling everyone’s fourth grade teacher?
- The man who would be first spouse as long as he does not have to act as first spouse although he may be the first, first spouse to get caught with unshaven legs in the hallway of the White House. Well, no I do not actually know if he shaves his legs. What are the rules for the first spouse?
- More email. So glad one does not have to carry around a recorder these days.
Of course there are a host of others. The Democrats are in synch with the Republicans. We are America. We are not one of the Americas. At least the Democrats know we are already great. They will provide free education to. To do what? How to lie better? Tell people when they are being ridiculous and expect them to just behave?
Somehow the DNC in Philadelphia is just not as exciting as the one in Cleveland. Some of the characters may be tawdry, but they’re not nearly as passionate or as colorfully tawdry as those others. Well, guess it is back to Donald. Bless his heart. Will he earn a A for claiming that Hilary dropped the Rodman because it stood for rotten? Well, perhaps a C. Not one of his best. Somehow, rotten Hilary does not have the same ring as lying Hilary.
Still, it is easy to tweat? The Democrats do seem to lend themselves to tweetable insults. Who knew that tweating insults was a skill we should be teaching our children? Tweetable insults. Forget debates, problem solving or keeping the brain sharp with Double Decision. The boys from the hood could teach us a thing or two. They have been practicing the dirty dozen for a long time. Perfect tweets. The sophisticated Donny got it. Let’s all get with it. At least when he does the dirty dozen he is not talking about food choices. Is nothing sacred anymore?
The good news is that is that all the world can now see and hear in real time why we are the greatest, most erudite, most powerful, most peace loving, and most just nation in the world. What? You question that?
Well, that is all the news we have time for today. Let’s hear it for rotten, lying Hilary and Donny who along with his play buddy Putin will make this country great again.
