The human race has only one really effective weapon and that is laughter. --Mark Twain

Comedy can cut men like this down to size, robbing them of their power and myths. --Mel Brooks

Satire is the weapon of the powerless against the powerful. --Molly Ivins

Thanks, brother.

Hahahahahahahah! Thanks for this.
I guess laughter IS the best medicine, cause I'm sick of politics constantly intruding into my life. Humor and ridicule of politicians seems to be our only weapon at the moment. If it pisses them off and embarrasses them, I'm for it.

I hear the warnings loud and clear too, danger Will Robinson!

starting tomorrow, here in southeast Texas, the high will be near 70 during the day and around 50 at night and will last for 4 or 5 days. That's welcome news since it's been in the 90s for like, forever.

Vive la différence!

Have a noon appointment in Dry Creek Valley. Must have lunch made and packed and be in the car and rolling by 9:30 and hope no unusual traffic snarls. So? Will be 92 there, but is only 48 here now. Shorts and goosebumps for the next 1.5 hours.

be well and have a good one
