As my dad would have said, if this week had been a fish, he'd have thrown it back ...
Der Furor has reclassified medical marijuana as a less-dangerous drug, the first step to encouraging greater use of pot to cloud the minds of the MAGA faithful; the Department of Justice, as part of broader actions to strengthen the federal death penalty, has expanded death penalty protocols to include pentobarbital injections and firing squads; Der Furor read a Bible passage from the Old Testament in a taped video from the Oval Office, days after he clashed with Pope Leo XIV and upset some of his religious supporters by posting an AI-generated image appearing to depict himself as Jesus; Republicans who cheered the redistricting of Texas and other red states are howling with rage after Virginia voters narrowly approved a redistricting initiative that will increase the number of Democratic seats in that commonwealth; and in the forests of the African nation of Gabon, a big-game hunter from the United States was ambushed and trampled to death by five elephants while hunting for small forest antelope.
This week, in honor of the beating the economy is taking under Der Furor's management, a collection of cartoons about the victims of the ultimate beatdown - piñatas.
If you've been to a kiddie party with a piñata, you know this is true ...
Yes, please!
Somehow I don't think it matters much if the patient lives ...
I think a couple of knights need better squires getting their steeds ready ...
Well, where did you think they came from?
Congratulations - it's a snack!
Don't try to explain this one to the kids ...
And the treatment would be?
A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away ...
If so, they're probably Three Musketeers ...
And that's it for this week's tribute to the poor piñata ... I hope you enjoyed it.
Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday, this week featuring Emily Dickinson. More thoughts then.
