Emails and Secession


         Emails are all over the news this week.  One dirty old general and his girl friend hiding theirs the way terrorists do, which wouldn’t sound like such a bad idea if he hadn’t been running the CIA at the time, another dirty old general, the guy in charge of our current war (that would be the one in Afghanistan for those of you who've forgotten) finding time to send 20 thousand pages of allegedly “salacious” ones to some lady friend who is NOT his girlfriend, and an FBI agent putting topless photos of himself in his, which also went to that second general’s lady friend who is NOT the FBI agent’s girlfriend either.

         Meanwhile, rebel patriots from Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, Indiana, Michigan, Oklahoma, Colorado, Montana, North Dakota, and Oregon as well as the unlikely states of New Jersey and New York have filed petitions to secede from the Union.  The Texans have 94 thousand internet signatures already, and this thing just got started like yesterday or something.

         What are we, living in some comic book?  Maybe voters should be emailing Donald Trump into the Oval Office, and let him fire everybody.  Everydangbody on the whole dang planet looks like where we have to start.
