Try multitasking: Mitch McConnell told a joke recently. He said the reason (they weren’t able to deal with) the coronavirus sooner was because the Democrats were trying to impeach Donald Trump. He said the coronavirus got so out of hand because it (the impeachment) distracted him. Bill Clinton, as some of us old enough to remember, went about his own business and got stuff done while being impeached. It proves that some people can’t walk and chew bubble gum at the same time.
Nothing but misinformation: You anti-Trump people who call in, do you ever think what you’re saying? Recently a caller quoted Trump. How do you know what is said in the White House? Then you say bad news given to the president gets you beheaded. Where in the world does this happen? Fifteenth century England? I admire you for the ability to read other people’s minds but all you do is spew misinformation fiction and wishful thinking.
I’ve got an idea: When we come out of this virus dilemma, our nation will have time returning to normal. I think it should start with a slogan like, “Make America Great Again.”
Unfair treatment: How is it that it’s always the government employees that make out like a bandit in a crisis like this coronavirus? Every restaurant, bar and hair salon, etc., has had to shut down at the employer’s cost. But if you work for the government, whether it’s forest preserve, teachers or city workers, they don’t get laid off even though the revenue stream from taxes is going downhill. None of them will ever get laid off or bear the brunt any of the weight of this crisis. And you wonder why people are so anti-government anymore.
Buyer beware: I have a tendency to try new products when they advertise. One that came out that looked really good is called Grease Police. You can buy it on TV or at Walmart or Target. I thought I’ll try it to see if it works. We got some yesterday. I read the label on the bottle. It says you let it sit for a couple of minutes and you use your elbow grease. I hate to tell you this, but it doesn’t work. I sprayed it a couple of times on light grease and it didn’t remove it.
