Imelda Marcos was the First Lady of the Philippians for 21 years while her husband Ferdinand was the President of the Philippians. If you don’t know about Imelda Marcos and her supply of shoes...Google It!
If you have better things to do than Google “Imelda Marcos Shoes”, here is a tidbit I Googled for you...
Ø Imelda loved shoes!
Ø There is a museum dedicated to her shoes where 200 of her 1,200 pairs of shoes are on display for all to see, admire and envy.
Ø Her shoes were not necessarily very expensive but, when she bought shoes, she bought them in great quantity and she bought shoes often.
Some of her shoes...
Here is the entrance to her museum...
Here is the inside of the her museum...
Shoes were not her only extravagance...
Ø On one occasion, she spent $2,000 on chewing gum at the San Francisco International Airport.
Ø On another occasion, she forced a plane to do a U-Turn mid-air just because she forgot to buy cheese in Rome.
And then there was Muammar Kaddafi of Libya…
He may have had more Silly Hats than Imelda Marcos had cheap shoes.
Years ago, before Muammar Kaddafi was made dead I and the world were very worried about him. Not being one to just sit around and worry, I devised a plan to make him change his ways by cutting off his supply of Silly Hats...
Do you not now see why we would have had complete control over him, if only we had threatened to cut off his Supply of Silly Hats? The man just loved Absurd and Silly Hats!
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: Yea, I know that last one is not Muammar…Or is it?

Good Morning: I remember them as well. I remember her but with him I remember when some of soliders/sailors(?) were killed in a club in Libya and I believe RR had had a bomb(s) dropped on a palace where he was suppose to be but wasn’t but killed one of his grandchildren and how we became close friends again. Do think Trumps remembers this if so should he say something about how he would hate to have bombs dropped on some others leaders home and some relative of the grand leader was killed or just let it go for now? How did you wake up thinking about these 2 fine deceased individuals or is that a blogger’s secret?
Thank you for all the good you do, Fella. It would be a great loss if Imelda’s and Muammar’s legacies were forgotten.
Now, hopefully, you have the temerity to keep the world abreast of the oncoming tide of Ruffles and Flourishes. Someone with your right-minded wit must do it. We can’t rely totally on Doonesbury. You will help us see that Our National Present is only amusing and not so dire as The Simple Majority Imagines. Carry your Potted-Plant Costume chained to your wrist at all times.
Hilarious................!!!
