Oh, joy. A follow up appointment for a cystoscopy. My summer is looking bleak between the dreary rainy weather and this.
What!?! Do you mean that Chelsea is now “dead broke” just like Mama H? Now, that’s egregious!
Oh, Chelsea will just give a few more speeches and raid the Clinton Foundation....they’ll get by.

D’ya mean that we can’t expect to see her sitting on the edge of Central Park, babe in arms, and hat out to collect spare change from passersby?
Seriously, there was a gal in Seattle who used to do that in Pike’s Place Market and who would walk away around the corner and drive away in a Mercedes. She cleared about $65k per year (and that was back in the 1990s when $65k was a bit of cash — particularly when it was tax free.)
Wow! She’s a runner from Wagga Wagga, Australia!!!!

PBS is going to show the episode of First Peoples tonight about the Native Australians, the people who gave us the name “Wagga Wagga”!!!!

Politicians lies these days are ubiquitous
Some bland and some most certainly grievous
But for quantity
None beat Hillary
Whose lies are many and some truly egregious
We got caught in little rainshowers at work-made everything wet enough that we had to quit just after noon-we are building a little block wall around a patio...
Hillary’s e-mails really show
She thinks it is prestigious
To treat staff like servants-
When in truth it is egregious
She is still the one who said
Don’t dare look into her face-
And she’s still in that bubble
Out there in interstellar space
Ordering staff in e-mails to tell
Someone to fetch her some ice tea
She’s not about to get off her ass
To get it herself like you or me...
I would not mind at all seeing Chelsea losing money and having to shop at discount stores-I’d rather see it happen to her mother, but Chelsea is a good second choice...
The little rainshowers are back, with gusts of wind-so it is only 84 instead of the 90 or so average for this time of year...
