The Miami Herald

Abuela Santiago,

I’ve been away awhile so I cOme back with a little trepidation. I thought that the sin of “eclectic indignation”, a sin common to the acolytes worshipping at the shrine of modern American Liberalism, a religion to be found in the 57 or was it 58 states that Barack the Beneficent had discovered, might have been indulgenced away. Silly me! That’s why, had I been born a broad I would have been a big fan of abortion. I would have always been pregnant.

I read in your column in today’s Miami Herald, the one about the Boy Scouts and Trump’s “nasty politics”, about your granddaughter being shocked, shocked about the horror, the horror of an adult using the word “hell” in conversation.

Speaking of little girls being shocked when adults violate their “safe space” and use bad words – Sorry about that James Joyce and Henry Miller – I wonder if you could send me your column about SEIU thugs invading the Wisconsin assembly in 2011? That was the glorious day in participatory democracy when the SEIU community activists went to each female Republican member and said “Go fuck yourself, you miserable fucking cunt”. I remember that because one of my granddaughters asked me about it.

She didn’t ask me about the language but why was the really big guy so mad at the really little lady.

Later on in your column you mention your 7-year-old grandson screaming “that’s nasty, that’s nasty” when watching the Republican convention in 2016. You say you turned the TV off “as if I had been watching porn”. And just think, assuming that that is still possible, Trump wasn’t even the President!

What would have been your reaction a few years earlier if you had to explain to your grandson or your granddaughter what a blow job was and why a President was not just lying about it but perjuring himself about it.

Wait a minute! The last good Republican was Earl Warren and before him it was Abraham Lincoln. Thank God for the Miami Herald scroyles.

Nothing ever changes
