Lest we pass this way again. . .

 A Word to the Stupid

Let's take a stroll down a memory lane strewn with bramble bushes, thorns, and weeds during the past four months. 

It was the beginning of a time that was promised to each and every American that would fill their hearts with joy, happiness, a chicken in every pot, and a hundred or so solid gold bars for our citizens of affluent means.

If we go back to his campaign speeches, we will learn, however, that nothing was specific. Nothing was absolutely promised in black and white. It was "kind of" said that America was going to "win" so much, we'd get sick of it. We were going to get rid of the terrible corruption in our government, we were going to erase a mountain of waste that will save us billions and billions (and billions)  of dollars, and we were going to deport millions of people we don't like and much, much more (and even more than that.) 

We let Mr. Musk help himself to as much  of our top secret information from all of our governmental computers as he wanted. He has at least enough data to start another Washington D.C. database. 

Last of all, our stroll takes us to the Oval Office. Inside, the president is raving on for two hours and seventeen minutes to the press people around his desk about the herculean job  Musk did for America. He then asked Musk to say a few words: 

And so help me God, he really  said, 

"Don't worry, the D.O.G.E. is not done. It has just begun!"

(And the nation shrieked in horror!)
