The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for May, 2016

Yes, Dear Readers, it's that time once again ... two weeks have gone by and it's time to name

The Left-Cheek Ass Clown for May, 2016

The field of candidates is what we used to refer to in the Air Force as a "target-rich environment," making it difficult to select a single worthy recipient two times per month. But, as usual, I've done the spade work for you and am pleased to announce the winner of the Left-Cheek award for May -

Caleb Bailey

Mr Bailey, a resident of Waldorf, Maryland, was indicted by a federal grand jury this past week, following an investigation led by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. The indictment represents a double-header of staggering proportions: Mr Bailey first came to the attention of the law as a result of the discovery that he had shipped unlicensed explosive ammunition through the mail. When his residence was searched as part of the investigation, agents discovered hundreds of illegal weapons, including machine guns and ammunition, in a bunker underneath his garage, as well as suspected child pornography on his computer.

Adding to the surreal nature of the investigation, Mr Bailey was also identified by the Maryland Board of Elections as a District 5 delegate to the Republican National Convention, supporting Donald Trump. A spokesman for the Trump campaign issued this statement: “We strongly condemn these allegations and leave it in the capable hands of law enforcement ... (Mr Bailey) will be replaced immediately.”

For his collections of illegal weapons and child pornography, coupled with his position as an elected delegate for a presidential candidate, Mr Caleb Bailey is named the Left-Cheek Ass Clown for May, 2016.

I really couldn't make this stuff up.

Have a good day. Come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday ... heaven knows you'll need it. More thoughts then.
