RE: Good show, sir!

Congressman Hensarling,

And yes, I have been on the receiving end of a Federal subpoena and no, I was not given 3 years a la treasury Secretary Lew to ignore it.

There is a magnificent moment in “Breaker Morant” when the defense lawyer, after wading through a fen of particularly obfuscatory persiflage coming from a witness for the prosecution, says, “Try yes or no, Sergeant Major”.

I stumbled into your hearing as a chance to black out the news from Belgium about today’s Muslim murder and mayhem, all of which were done in the name of the Prophet and his quest for peace.

[As an aside, do you know whatever happened to those 300 teenage girls who were kidnapped in Nigeria a few years ago? Remember #Bringbackourgirls”? How did that work out?]

A serendipitous highlight was Congresswoman Maxine Walters attempt to make Secretary Lew into Saint Francis of Assisi.

You may recall that Congresswoman Walters need the help of Congressman Barney Frank, he of the gender specific Happy Bottom Riding Club and Knocking Shoppe. She and her husband were deep in the fen of ethical quick sand caused by her husband’s banking schemes. It is a truism that you can steal more from a bank with a pen than you can with a gun. When she began to give Secretary Lew an electronic tongue bath I ran to my kitchen to see if my hot stove was still there.

Thanks for a moment’s diversion on a bloody morning.

We may not be at war with radical Muslim murderers but they sure as Hell are at war with us.
