<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Well, it’s time to select a new target now that we’ve had a brief respite from the lunacy of the last 4 years. I say brief because - thanks to CNN who’s riding their new popularity wave to the max - there seems to be no shortage of new up and coming reprobates to fill The Clown’s shoes for stupidity.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But who?</span></p>

<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">But who?</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Hmm...gonna be hard to decide, so I guess it’s time to spin the wheel.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">(Bmichael climbs the stairs to the stage and approaches the giant wheel and pulls off the tarp, tossing it aside. Grabbing the handle, he gives it a mighty tug.)</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">At first it’s too fast to read the placards, but soon names begin to briefly appear.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spinning, spinning...was that Ted Cruz?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spinning, spinning...Marjorie Greene?</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spinning, spinning...Mike Lindell? ( B starts salivating)</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The tension rises, the crowd squirms nervously in their seats as the wheel slows.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Spinning, spinning…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Slower, slower…</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">...and finally stops.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Bmichael turns to face the audience.</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">LADIES and GENTLEMEN...we have a WINNAH!</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The new target is the freshman senator and ex coach of the Crimson Tide, hailing from the great state of Alabama -</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Tommy Tuberville!</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The crowd roars! Women faint! Children cry!</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">WhoooWeee...we’re having some fun now!</span></p>
<p></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Oh baby, oh baby!</span></p> Grapestag:teebeedee.ning.com,2019-12-27:1991841:Topic:18583872019-12-27T15:17:52.903ZMarilynhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Marilyn
<p>Nodding to the security guard, I made my way through the checkpoint and out the revolving door.</p>
<p>After a moment, I realized something was missing - the noise, the sounds of the city- cars trucks, horns, sirens, whistles, the clatter of high heels on the sidewalk. There was only the sound of the breeze and the voice of a boy.</p>
<p>“Extry! Extry!...Read all about it! Scientists Confirm Life After Death! Extry! Extry!”</p>
<p>I motioned to the kid.</p>

<p>“Extry! Extry!...Read all about it! Scientists Confirm Life After Death! Extry! Extry!”</p>
<p>I motioned to the kid.</p>
<p>Handing him fifty cents, I asked. “Whattya know, Bud?”</p>
<p>“Jeez, Mister, all I know is it ain’t over when it’s over anymore - here ya go!”</p>
<p>He turned and ran down the street-waving his papers and screaming at the top of his lungs.</p>
<p>A few doors down the block a crowd had gathered at Chica’s Bar, trying to get in. There was a fight...two guys were going at a large man holding a Bible using it as a shield to ward off his attackers. The big man was smiling, face bloody, arms flailing wildly, grinning and singing as he fought back - oblivious to the punishment he was receiving.</p>
<p>The sidewalks were full of folks- some huddled in small groups, others hurrying in all directions, while still others stood motionless, zombie-like. The kid’s newspapers littered the street.</p>
<p>There was no traffic, save for a bus trolling slowly down 5th Street that stopped abruptly in the middle of the block. Engine still running, the driver got off and quickly disappeared down an alley leaving the confused passengers, faces pressed against the windows.</p>
<p>On the corner, a line had formed at a phone booth. The caller was in a heated conversation, waving his arms and smashing his fist against the glass. Outside, the people waiting were urging him to hurry - growing steadily impatient.</p>
<p>I stepped back into the doorway and unfolded the paper.</p>
<p>Hearing the thud, I looked up. The body had slammed into the sidewalk face down twenty feet away. She lay motionless at first and then trembled, raising her head just for a second as if to look around...and collapsed.</p>
<p>The crowd outside the phone booth heard it too.They stopped their shouting and after realizing what happened, all eyes looked up to the top of the twelve story building. Against a cloudy sky, the silhouette of a head and shoulders peered down .</p>
<p>Nearby... gunshots...and screams.</p>
<p>I ran towards the bus…</p> Wanna See Something Cool?tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2019-05-08:1991841:Topic:18470902019-05-08T03:48:38.876ZMarilynhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Marilyn

<p>As far as his taxes go, I don’t think that there will be discovery of any kind of criminal wrongdoing with foreign governments or such. If there was, it would have come out by now through IRS procedures.</p>
<p>I do believe that he is afraid of being exposed by questionable business practices and more importantly (to him), we may come to find that his net worth is simply not as much as he has been touting over the years - something his ego couldn’t tolerate.</p>

<p>When George Bush was president, I was living in Florida.</p>

<p>When George Bush was president, I was living in Florida.</p>
<p>I worked for Hyatt Hotels and at that time, I was the assistant purchasing director at The Hyatt Regency Miami.</p>
<p>Our offices were at the lowest level, just off the semi underground dock and receiving area.</p>
<p>Although there were many high-profile hotels and facilities in the greater Miami area, ours was newer, larger, and attached to a large convention center in the center of downtown. As a result, we were often selected for important political events, concerts and shows.</p>
<p>We were of course aware that the President was coming to speak but there were few extra demands as he was not staying – he was there to give a speech and then off to somewhere else.</p>
<p>It was a busy day at the hotel. The President’s visit was drawing a lot of attention and there was a great sense of excitement.</p>
<p>I’ll never forget the Secret Service guys.</p>
<p>They were just suddenly there and pretty much everywhere. They came into our offices unannounced with the dogs – those extremely large German Shepherds. They said nothing and acted like we weren’t there as they led the dogs through their paces – one sniffed me and my wastebasket briefly and just as suddenly, they were gone.</p>
<p>Later, I left the office and walked through the back of the house. Guys in suits with coiled wires coming from their ears were standing in every hallway, at every corner.</p>
<p>I was suddenly stopped by one and told not to move. He didn’t say it to me, it was more at me, something I had noticed before – no eye contact, their eyes always moving. I was at an intersection and could see that somehow everyone else had stopped as well.</p>
<p>The President was on the move.</p>
<p>When it was over, they just left without a word and we had our hotel back.</p>
<p>While he was giving the speech, I was back in my office. My desk faced a large window with a clear view of the dock area and a couple of black limos parked near the exit of the ballroom about 40 yards away.</p>
<p>I happened to be looking out at the time one of the doors opened.</p>
<p>President Bush stepped out onto the platform and for a brief moment stood there – alone.</p>
<p>I remember thinking “Where is everybody? Anyone?” How did he get away? Where’s the guys with the guns?</p>
<p> Who is going to open the door for him? WTF???</p>
<p>That’s when he saw me through the window.</p>
<p>And waved.</p>
<p>I waved back.</p>
<p>I’ll never be able to describe how I felt that the President of The United States took a moment…no…less than that to say hi to a stunned face in a window.</p>
<p>“Hey B, how’s it goin’?”</p> OK..That Does It...tag:teebeedee.ning.com,2018-01-02:1991841:Topic:18049182018-01-02T17:49:26.254ZMarilynhttp://teebeedee.ning.com/profile/Marilyn
