I hope your Mothers Day weekend was enjoyable. My mom abandoned my siblings and me when we were six weeks old.
So no gift shopping for me - she did us a favour.
Nick wanted the hotel room to himself to work on his novel so I popped in on the more lunatic of the GQP Lunatic Fringe.
Or as they call themselves - the GQPLF - damn they love acronyms. I suspect it’s because acronyms are easier for DJT to pronounce without totally butchering the pronunciation. Also, this particular acronym is similar to the word ‘golf’, something near and dear to Trump.
And let’s not forget that most GQP are functionally illiterate and they would lose their train of thought if they had to say the whole thing. Acronyms are a life saver for this bunch of GED grads.
Their latest cause célèbre - restricting the removal of women’s tonsils and appendix. They will also be calling for banning the lancing of boils and nail clipping - including manicures.
“I stopped a long time ago,” MTG told me adding, “I have never felt closer to God. But goddamnit my hooves could use some trimming. The Triple Crown is coming up.
“And I really should have my tonsils removed. They’re rotting and my breath reeks. Not sure if it’s my tonsils or perhaps my teeth.
“At any rate, my breath reeks - it’s enough to gag a maggot. And that’s not a pretty sight.”
Sen Marco Rubio weighed in, “God gave these organs to us and intended for us to keep and use them. And if infection kills us, it’s God’s will.”
I asked Marco what purpose is served by tonsils and the appendix.
He replied, “Fucked if I know.”
