What a great ceremony that would be!
In the Trump Ballroom.
So far, he hasn’t suggested the nation’s capital be renamed Trump, District of Columbia.
What did the members of the United States House of Representatives do during the longest government shutdown in our country’s history?
There is one thing they did NOT doing with all of this free time—visiting the folks back home, going around to the cities in their districts, holding meetings or shaking hands with constituents who are shopping at Wal-Mart.
Given the continued deterioration of the economic situations of millions of Americans, it is logical that they would prefer to hide out instead of holding community meetings. In a time when wisdom is in short supply, perhaps they are wise not to show their faces in their districts after all.
We cannot recall the last time the congressman representing Jefferson City visited here and met with the good folks who sent him to Washington. Coming to Jefferson City to file for another term doesn’t count.
Come to think of it, his predecessor was no prize either. I went to his office once, found the door locked, and when somebody opened it I was greeted with an attitude that asked, “What are you doing here?”
Maybe next year we should elect somebody who won’t ignore us for a change.

Does anybody else think the President looks like a Dork in his baseball cap?
Dork squared.
Does he wear it to cover his apparently expanding bald spot? Or does he wear it because he didn’t shampoo his mane?
At least he didn’t wear it during his visit with the King of England or in his recent United Nations, uh, speech. Had he done so, this is the one that would have been appropriate, if any cap was appropriate.
This is the cap he wore while speaking to the Ameircan troops during his recent visit to Japan. If we were a person in uniform engaged in the serious business of defending our country, we might struggle with our composure while listening to some old guy in a necktie and a ball cap ramble on about how he’s so abused by critics. I’m not sure I could salute my commander in chief who thinks dorkiness is fashionable.

Speaking of wretched excess (a White House ballroom, a marbleized Lincoln bedroom bathroom, a $400 million used jetliner), there is this home in Jefferson City where “going overboard” is woefully inadequate in describing Halloween decorations.
What better time to display “wretched” excess than Halloween?
These folks in Jefferson City obviously like Halloween but we wonder where they store this stuff the rest of the year—-especially since they put up comparable decorations for Christmas. If it’s at their house, where do they live?
A second thought occurred to us that maybe they do this to make it impossible for trick or treaters to make their way to their door.
They have a lot of fun with Halloweek and Christmas. Can’t wait to see what more they add to their Christmas decorations in a few weeks. We’ll try to remember to show them to you.
But will Santa be able to find the house?
