Odds ‘n Sods:

The political realm is not that different from my horse corral or my hen house. Periodically, the Schumer gets so deep that you can’t just continue shoveling a bit off off the top or around the edges. Merely covering it up with straw is no longer sufficient. The smell becomes too much to bear. What you really need to do is to roll up your sleeves and start shoveling, and do not stop until you’ve scraped right down to bare soil or bare wood. Une zone totalement dépeuplée. To do it right, you leave no media for the germs to multiply in and no shelter where the maggots to grow to adulthood. Can things be much different in our nation’s capitol city? Just say no to all incumbent candidates. Vote them all out! Pardon me for mixing metaphors, but the fictional space pilot Ellen Ripley had the right idea, when she said: “I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It’s the only way to be sure.” The next election must be a clean sweep. (Or in case of Congress, the next three elections, since their six-year terms are staggered at two-year intervals.)
