I was walking down the street trying to keep other people who were walking down the street while looking and pecking at their Smartphones from bumping into me when it happened.
I saw a big sign above the entrance to a meeting hall the read, “If You Love America, Come In”. I went in because I do love my country.
The place was packed with wide-eyed cheering fellow lovers of America. The first thing I thought was, “Wow! This is really great!” The first word I hear come out of the current speaker’s mouth was “corruption” and the second word was “Ukraine”.
Man, that guy was on a roll! He was shouting things like (in bullet point format)...
Ø People are elected over and over who are not rich when they first get elected but they all leave office Stinking Rich!
Ø The people they elect to office are paid too much especially when you consider how much they work, however, they are not paid so much that they should all become stinking rich while in office!
Ø They are repeatedly caught on tape taking bribes yet nothing happens to them.
Ø They are repeatedly caught on tape laughing about how often they are repeatedly caught on tape taking bribes yet nothing happens to them.
Ø The people they elect are repeatedly caught driving drunk and then they are reelected again.
Ø Then they probably go celebrate their re-election and get drunk again and drive home drunk again
Ø The people they elect never change their minds about positions they hold even after the most impassioned and fact filled evidence is presented to them that their positions are absolutely poppycock (whatever that is).
Ø The people they elect hardly ever show up in Congress to listen to opposing arguments and when they do they fall asleep during the opposing arguments.
I had heard enough! I jumped up and shouted, “This is absolute corruption of the highest order! The United States would not support Ukraine one day longer!”
Then I added on a question, “What I don’t understand is why you just called their National Assembly
a Congress. Ukraine’s National Assembly is not named a Congress. It is named
the Verkhovna Rada”.
They all shouted at
me in one voice, “Fella, what are you thinking? Who said we are talking
about Ukraine?”
Would I kid u?

Lagniappe: This Blog Posting was inspired by the fact that often members of our Corrupt Congress go out of their way to remind us that Ukraine, even though it is presently under a completely unjustified attack by Russia, is really a very Corrupt Country.
