Snip: How are you enjoying the approaching fall?
Snipe: Just trying to mellow out a bit. Trying not to be totally focused on what some say is an upcoming election.
Snip: Didn’t know you were ever able to do that. You? Leave politics aside?
Snipe: Probably not. But when I try other things, my penchant for it just crops up.
Snip: You need a hobby.
Snipe: Well, I tried song writing and then, even that sort of went awry. Oh well. Guess this is who I am.
Snip: Can you share your first foray into the world of song writing?
Snipe: If you insist. (With apologies to Oscar)
Congressional Stock Purchasers Anthem
Getting to know you, seeing my profit potentials.
Getting to see you, getting to hear ‘hold’ or ‘trade.’
Getting to know you, getting to learn company secrets,
Now that I’m with you, my portfolio grows.
Since I’m in office, I have additional info,
Now that I’m with you, my vote will always be yours,
Getting to like you, while reaping thousands with each trade,
Because of all the beautiful and new, things I’m learning about you,
Day by day.
I LOVE BEING IN CONGRESS!!
Snipe: And, I guess a little more on politics.
Snip: Like the debate?
Snipe: I’m saving that until all the partisan hype from both sides dies down a bit.
Thinking of going to the beach? How about some flip-flops. I was on the bus the other day and heard some folks talking about flip-flops. I thought maybe they were going to the beach but it turned out they were simply talking about changing one’s mind about something. Like – I was convinced that lasagna would be good for dinner tonight but after looking in the fridge I decided on baked chicken. Is that a flip-flop?
Snip: Might be a rather weak example.
Snipe: Well, here are some others, some deemed acceptable flips and some ridiculed:
Fracking should be halted. Maybe some fracking is acceptable
Orange man is like Hitler. Orange man has changed and is the best for prez.
No man is above the law. Maybe one guy is immune from laws.
Fines and judgment are payable after trials conclude. But, if you don’t pay they just grow into larger fines So, you decide you don’t want to pay.
Rights include speedy trials. Unless each trial is litigated from one court to another, to another, to another, to another, to another. . . .
Snip: Wait – do regular people have the means to proceed like that or only the rich (aka the powerful).
Snipe: Guess if you don’t pay your lawyers you could go on with that forever. Guess we’ll see what October brings. Think I found some pages from a discarded (or maybe a banned book). Might see that next month.
