That&#8217;s what I thought too so I&#8217;m calling the Republican kettle black.<\/p>\n<p>Last week the air went out of my sails as we hosted my son&#8217;s three person family for week. The deflation was not from the hosting. I have the cutest granddaughter in the world. You can see her <a href=\"https:\/\/duluthreader.com\/articles\/2022\/12\/29\/123786-resolution\">birth snowsculpture<\/a> here when we first visited her in Colorado. I&#8217;ll save my picture perfect cell pics for family. She&#8217;s got a lot of personality over the past 16 months. I was stoked while they were here.<\/p>\n<p>I was deflated because our last president is a turd anointed by people who call themselves Christians as one of our greatest presidents and my column repeating this seemed to be missing. When I raced to see my most recent column all but announcing my candidacy for Congress I was in too much of a hurry and didn&#8217;t see it on a different page than usual. I wondered if my calling Donald Trump what he called himself was too much for the Duluth Reader. Thinking it had been passed over I didn&#8217;t submit a new column for next week. Its the first I&#8217;ve missed for several months. <\/p>\n<p>Today when I checked the Reader to link to an old column I SAW MY COLUMN on line so I took a closer look in the last print version of the Reader. TThere is was plain as day. So I will enjoy a week of storing up acorns. <\/p>\n<p>As a fellow trying to figure out how to live up to the acronym<strong> WWLD <\/strong>(What would Lincoln do)I need to clear the decks. I just submitted my resignation from subbing at Harbor City International so I can chase pussygrabbing Politicians down the rabbit holes where they belong. I need time to do all that.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been looking at old columns of mine. I am almost always pleased with columns that wrote long ago. I&#8217;m ready for a book. I wrote one for another campaign in 1992 to teach myself how to write. I&#8217;ve gotten better. Other than the occasional missing word, misspelling or historical misidentification I think I nail most of my columns. I just reread the one about <a href=\"https:\/\/duluthreader.com\/articles\/2019\/04\/25\/112692-cricket\">&#8220;Cricket&#8221;<\/a> the girl my college friends thought wanted to start a one woman orgy and was relieved that I handled the subject as deftly as it required. Thank God a young Donald Trump wasn&#8217;t in that crowd.<\/p>\n<p>So, I&#8217;ve got a week to see if I can keep the blog fresh, line up a couple months worth of rough drafts for columns starting with <em>as promised<\/em> my life as a new Republican in 1972 and finally a booklet\/book or two about some larger subject to justify replacing the &#8220;pocket lint&#8221; Congressman Stauber who is rattling around Trump&#8217;s pocket between silver dollars and trojan packets.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/live.staticflickr.com\/65535\/53466676794_65f3c4b2a4_z.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n&#8220;safe sex everybody&#8221; Donald while on the Conan Obrien Show<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the link to the column <a href=\"https:\/\/duluthreader.com\/articles\/2024\/01\/13\/127053-what-would-lincoln-do\"><strong>What Would Lincoln Do<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s worse, being a pussygrabber or calling a pussygrabber a pussygrabber.
