Yesterday I made up a story based on a concept from the excellent satirical website, The Babylon Bee. They are funny people who know how to make people laugh as they get a message across to them.
Just for fun I swiped the general concept of a piece they put forward that essentially said that recent polling had shown that the Democrats were so unpopular that even dead voters were going to vote Republican this fall.
So I tweaked it for all my Chicago readers. No one understands the dead vote better than them. I figured, even a dumb ass can be a smart ass, so I went for it. I called it the “BABBLE ON ME.” The whole thing was tongue in cheek but a few people actually subscribed! I was amazed. It was fun. I suspect they liked me better than the satire, but god bless ‘em. Both of them.
So here is a link to my smartassery. I have a feeling this endeavor will suffer from “failure to launch” but no astronauts were harmed in the making of it so I guess it’s okay. I consider it a trial balloon of the lead variety.
It’s likely that many of the articles I write here might be mistaken for satire anyway. Oh well, at my age I’m socially bulletproof.
Grant, you ain't lyin. Not about the fun in satire, or age making one immune to certain things. It would be a superpower if various ailments like gout and arthritis didn't frequently accompany it.
My mother in law died 2 years ago and she still gets a new voters card, thinking I’ll send in for a mail in ballot
