FUNNY
STUFF -- ESPECIALLY TRUMP
When TV offers the mug shot of a cop on
trial for murder, how come the guy often looks
like a murderer—not a respectable policeman. How did he look before the fatal shot?

People still live and walk around in
Beijing--in smog so thick they can rake it off the sidewalk. Why is anyone still
there?

Behind Donald Trump’s scowls you get
the impression he’s in his glory, having the best time of his life.
Think of it--even more than serial
killers, his name is known by everyone who can read.
Every word he says gets printed in
newspapers. Every crazy thought that comes to him in the shower reaches millions
of people within days. And the nuttier his ideas, the quicker we’ll hear them. If
he happens to imagine that 81% of white murders are committed by blacks, he can
go ahead and say it on—where else, Fox News?
Even his jokey hair has stopped being a
joke – those forward-leaning feathers desperately trying to cover a bald landscape are
now blessed landmarks.
Most important, think of his power . .
. how his peculiar, unexpected renown is suddenly terrifying a lot of Very
Important People . . . how some are afraid to speak up, lest the cobra turn on
them, spitting out words that inflict a fatal wound. With such words, in fact, The
Donald has nearly KO’d several presidential candidates.
Some of us wonder if the man even cares
whether he becomes president. That would be work. In the meantime, he’s having
a blast without all the bother of actually doing anything. When he looks back
from the next decade, he’ll know that for a year or more, he was one of the
best-recognized, most powerful guys on the planet. Even mystical.
What more can he ask from life than
that?

and other sweet-and-sour stories” now available through Amazon—or

A ten-dollar gift for Christmas.
