WEASELS OR WIZARDS

     Nope. Do not like football so do not watch the Super Bowl. Others like to watch. Others like to play. There are great moments and sad moments. But it is there and it does bring forth an interesting point and contrast to the rest of our present lives.
     What I do watch is the compendium of ads the next morning and as always, I marvel at the imagination and creativity and  wonder why there are so many stupid ads on when the industry can make this level. But even more than the creativity, what I found absorbing was the stress on love, on venturing out into a world, a world where people were not gagged, not looked at differently because of what they looked like or came from. It was a world of families, of humor, of caring and a great performance by Pink as she sang the anthem. We will leave out Timberlake!
     So look at that world, the world that we could be living in, enjoying, displaying to the world and then turn around and look at the sour country we are now living in. We do not see the wizards of creativity. Nope. What we do see are the weasels of the world, the weasels who have totally given up their own humanity, their own personhood, their own independence. They sit there and take all the garbage dished out on them, to them, about them, by their demented and cowardly boss.
    One of the chief weasels is Jeff Sessions, the supposed head of the Justice Department. I must admit - I was torn between calling him a weasel or a mouse, but his treachery is too great, his nastiness too great to be allowed to be a cute little mousie. Nope, this man is a weasel, no self respect, no honor, no courage.
     Gowdy, Nunes, Mnuchin, Ryan etc. are all part of the weasel corporation that now runs the country under the strict control of Trump. No longer are they loyal to the country or the people within. Nope. They are loyal to Trump. Demanded to be loyal to him. Demanded that they give up their own independence, their own self worth and omit all to and for him.
     And so we have  a weasels' chorus, full of whining and lying voices, squeaking away all in the name, for the name of Trump. We have threats of memos that turn out to be a big whoops! and now we are going to be engaged in a war of memos? Good grief!! I wonder what these people have been drinking or smoking there in DC. One of the ads has a guy wondering what was in the brownies. Well, what is in the water, the food, the very air these days in DC, something so strong, so twisted, that there is no longer any honor, any trust, any compassion, any humanity, anything worthwhile having been tossed on the dust heaps of the country, thrown out with the trash.
     So we collude with our enemies at the highest levels. We insult our allies. We send yet more soldiers into a cannot be won war. We rip safety regulations into shreds and think that pennies can buy us off. We all sink into a morass of guilt, grief, climate change and terror and what do we get and who does this - the weasels.
     Where are the wizards? Where is our good old fashioned American wizardry? Where is our get up and go? Where is our strength? Our independence. Our essence as proud Americans, citizens of a proud and unique country. Gone to weasels? NO!!!!! WE cannot let that stand. So Harry Potter or Hermione or whatever wizard you favor - let us get out there and do our wizardry and get rid of the weasels. Demand that they be gone and please, let them take the chief weasel with them! He will not be missed. That is for sure.
