It's Sunday with Dan | 2023 July 23

This week it is the 151th British Open preempting " Meet The Press." Pip pip and cheerio.

It was certainly a week for Springfield, Missouri's favorite political disorganized organization the GOP. In what will go down as the most disgusting event ever in the history of the U.S. Congress Majorie Traitor Greene held up a poster board size photograph of Hunter Biden's penis. During a hearing of the House Oversight Committee, being broadcast live on C-SPAN, Fox " News", and other news outlets America got to gasp in awe of the size of Hunter's Louisville Slugger. What this had to do with the IRS investigation into Hunter's tax returns remains to be seen. But it was a delicious piece of irony that this occurred on July 19th. If you check your calendars, July 19th is National Hot Dog day. Make all the immature jokes you want. Hunter's attorney, the redoubtable Abbe Lowell, is now suing the Venus in Furs for violating several federal and state laws. My favorite is the one called revenge porn. If you were to have a liaison with another person and then broke up, you could not post nude photos of them on public forums. In other words you cannot show pictures of my winkie on Facebook without my permission.

In other desperate grabs for attention Florida Governor and flailing presidential candidate Ron " Little Hitler" DeSantis announced his state was going to sue Bud Light for using transgender advocate Dylan Mulvaney in an ad campaign. He says since Bud Light sales have gone down it's affected the stock earnings, and Florida state employees have Bud Light in their retirement portfolios. And my dog has fleas. 

Texas Senator Ted "Unlikable" Cruz has urged citizens to boycott the Barbie movie because it has a deep Communist Chinese undercurrent. Ginger Gaetz, wife of the alleged teenage sex trafficker Florida Congressman Matt Gaetz, went to the Barbie premiere in a dazzling pink dress. After the film she scurried to any available microphone to declare that Ryan Gosling's Ken was a disgusting low testosterone male. Obviously Josh Hawley was not offered the role. She went on to say it was a disaster because it did not promote faith and family values. I had similar complaints about the new Mission Impossible movie. 

The record global heatwave, the war in Ukraine, the potential gutting of Social Security, the ever widening gap in wealth distribution are nothing but throwaway afterthoughts. The real dinner table family discussions in America revolve around men's genitalia and movies about toys. Every Hallmark movie is the same and bees make honey.
