I’m sitting in a heat dome while Mitch McConnell freezes up on TV, and an aide whispers to Sen. Diane Feinstein to vote “aye.” Everything is fine, McConnell said, after not blinking for 20 seconds. Do not worry. It’s sweltering. The ocean is 100 degrees at Florida. The coral reefs are dying. Greece is burning, and Rome is damn close.
Your column reflects the chaos in society, or at least the chaos that some in society want because it benefits their politics, such as Trump folks. Who does benefit or suffer from govt that shuts down or is unable to do its job? The hundreds of thousands of Iowans who receive social security, Medicare or VA ‘benefits” will be harmed by ongoing chaos, and ensuing potential shutdowns of govt. The only antidotes to chaos offered by some like our Governor, is to administer doses of book banning, rewriting history, and other medicine, with the explanation that the awful taste of Jan. 6 is really good for us, as a country.

Hilarious! . . . . or downright terrifying?
Oh man, I love your columns.
Alternating laughing and crying. Love the way you keep it real. So bizarre at times they look like posts on Nextdoor.
You can tell a true Pulitzer Prize-winning columnist by the ability to work in a reference to Wile E. Coyote, Super Genius. :)
Wonderful blend of history, poetry and insanity as preached by a religious cult.
