The Kabuki Theater aka the U.S. House of Representatives continues its search for a Speaker and the leading candidate of the hour would seem to be The Big Doofus (Paul Ryan of Wisconsin). The Big Doofus has been rescusitated and currently stands atop the heap of Speaker-aspirants. The Big Doofus would be a natural for a part on "The Walking Dead." Somehow the Zombie metaphor captures the Freedom Caucus in the House of Representatives. Flesh-eating ghouls, one and all. If this is a (fair & balanced) horror story come to life, so be it.

The Freedom Caucus
By The Deadline Poet (Calvin Trillin)
Tag Cloud of the following piece of writing
The GOP’s in disarray.
The Freedom Caucus wants its say.
It’s time, they think, to take a stand
For principles from cuckoo land. Ω
