Intractable and Untameable

A contempt for our nation's highest leaders?

In better days, a person harboring such ideas was labeled a dupe and a traitor. And rightly so!!! The so-called "comedic observations" of Mr. William Penn Adair Rogers were famously enough to lead my father to destroy his wireless one memorable Thanksgiving with all the gusto of a lovemaking orang-outan. And my father knew a thing or two about lovemaking!

What would become of the state if no one consented to serve it? Would not everything come to a standstill? To be faithful to public functions is true fidelity!!!

The current climate of "political humor" wavers between puerile stubbornness and senile obstinacy.

Still, if one must make light of the President of the United States, why must it be the slander that attacks a man still in office? I am cultivating my very own comedic-impressive-pantomimes of several former U.S. Presidents in preparation for the fall auditions for Last Comic Standing on NBC. If the idiot-boxed populace must bray at an American leader, then let it be at my spot-on rendition of James A. Garfield or my uncannily accurate Chester A. Arthur. (And for an encore, I am refining an impression of Grover Cleveland riding a Dandy Horse that shall leave them quaking in the very aisles!)
