As the COVID death toll nears 170,000 and the cases exceed 5,300,000, we can only hope the price that we have paid and are paying that the pandemic will be the demise of Trump's political career.

Joe Biden announced that California Senator Kamela Harris would join his team as vice president. She was the best choice. The Democrats need a huge African-American turnout and Harris electrifies this faction. She has crossover appeal to every voting block with her charisma and intelligence. The Republican Party is shitting in their boots. They know that if Harris' left won't get you, Biden's right will.

The president, in his bullying fashion, called Harris "phony" and "nasty" and then turned to his servile surrogates to characterize her as radical, socialistic, transactional (These goons call her an existential threat as part of their narrative, but if you asked these ignoramuses the definition of transactional, existential and narrative, they would respond with their usual blank faces) as well as a tool of Wall Street, a puppet of China and a globalist. Whatever any of that shit means when millions of Americans are either sick or broke or both.

It's the 2016 playbook that worked against Hillary, but it's a new season and old tactics will not carry the day. Trump and his toadies will soon have to answer for 200,000 deaths, 7,000,000 COVID cases, massive unemployment, a plummeting economy and social unrest that he has aggravated rather than mollified with his odious rhetoric and militaristic ordering of armed Americans to quell fellow American protestors.

"Stick and stones will break my bones, but words will never hurt me" the saying goes. Trump and his thugs can call Biden, Harris and the rest of the Democrats every name in the book, but the sticks and stones they have brandished on innumerable occasions have perforated the electorate's eardrums and in the latter's painful state they are not listening to Trump's empty words.

Will Biden tell Trump that he has the blood of thousands of Americans on his hands? Will Harris tell Pence that he has the blood of thousands of Americans on his hands? The Democrats need to attack and attack and attack; nobody pities Trump and Pence and then pivot with their vision for America's future.

To the beat of the old Buck Owens' classic, they need to act naturally. They are both handsome individuals, they have winning smiles, they possess great senses of humor and they need to return Trump and Pence's accusations and denunciations with condescending chuckles communicating that the time has come to end America's perception as the laughingstock of the world. We need a new king and queen to rid us of the court jester Trump who was funny when he played the fool, but his interpretation of comedy has been a tragedy for our nation.

L ike a hound pointing to its game, the Spring Breaker followed his boner to his condo with the blond co-ed in tow. She had stepped up to the beer bong thrice and could barely walk. He led her into his room and stripped her of her thong as if he were peeling a banana. He was soon straddling her when he stopped an inch short of entering her shaved pussy. "I must confess something," he said. "What?" she slurred. "I have tested positive for HIV." "Have you tested positive for Coronavirus?" she asked. "No." "Then let's fuck, cowboy!!!"

I was standing at the bar at Cobbleheads when I saw owner Joe Kenney walking past. I grabbed him by the bicep. "Pretty flabby for a guy from Phillly," I said. "Fuck you, Sully," snapped Joe before continuing with that goofy accent. "What do you want?" "I didn't get a chance to wish you Happy St. Patrick's Day! I'd pinch you on the butt since you're not wearing green, but you have a lousy lookin' ass. Let's toast the San Patricio Battalion." "A bunch of filthy traitors," spat Joe. "General Scott should have hung all the bastards instead of branding the majority of them." "You were in the Herald saying that Mexico and the United States had special ties as a result of these Irishmen switching sides in a war that Abraham Lincoln criticized as imperialism run amok." "It's all about business," confessed Joe. "I can't express my true sentiments about those Benedict Arnolds. I h...

My patio faces east. In the early afternoon the sun has embarked on its ancient descent toward the west and I relax on my lawn chair in the shade. I breathe deeply. My lungs are clear. Coronavirus has me contemplating life from a variety of angles. I am led to believe that those who suffer death from the disease suffocate. That doesn't sound like a pleasant exit to me. As a result of this grim reality, I have quit smoking dope. I don't want to weaken my lungs any more than 55 years of puffing on joints has wreaked on them. I have been retired for three years from the BISD after the superintendent threatened to fire me if I kept writing. I chose to keep writing. It is my spiritual calling. I had contributed 39 years to the school district and I was working for free. Retirement was a logical option. I don't miss the job, but I do miss my students, athletes and colleagues. I liken my present existence to floating down a lazy Hill Country river in an inner tube. Little did I kn...
