Personally, I am not going to miss his orange, weepy face and I actually do hope that the Capital door hits him in the ass on his way out. His abrupt departure will have about as much impact as his meaningless career in Congress and, for someone whose public profile…
The fully referred-to version of this motherly advice would certainly seem appropriate in making the world a better and safer place. It’s abbreviated form, in my humble opinion, should be no less universally heeded. Amidst the clamorous indignation, the huffing and puffing, the fist pounding and foot stomping in defense…
I’m imagining Kim Davis, the self-righteous clerk of Rowan County, Kentucky, languishing away in a urine-spattered, over-crowded cell with her bunkmate, Androgynous Andi, praying, (hopefully on her knees in the aforementioned spatterings), to her uncompassionate god.

Viva la revolution! Fidel Castro’s 26th of July Movement succeeded in toppling the corrupt US and mafia backed Bautista regime only to spend more than fifty years in economic isolation.
