Jon Kyl? Appointed to the Senate? Same old... same OLD! Rule by (male) gerontocracy. We should rename the Senate with its proper name, The American House of Lords. Lord Kyl of Arizona sounds quite catchy. Pity the British emasculated their House of Lords' political powers so that it can only advise rather than make sensible, political decisions in favor of the rich and powerful. Perhaps we need to look at reforming Congress. It's getting a bit swampy. The system is 18th century and archaic and it works slowly, very slowly. It's especially dangerous when an idiot King gets elected and has to decide on the fate of the world in two and a half minutes. Look what happened with that other idiot, poor old King Charles I. He colluded with the Scots AND the French. No Russians involved. The government chopped his head off. Shame on them.

Women too take note in this present perilous time. Get oral contraceptives and morning-after pills stocked up for you and your daughters. Chief Justice Kavanagh is about to be elected to the Supreme Court by the Senate. Men know what's best for you. Back to the kitchen and the bedroom where you belong. They may allow you to keep the vote if you vote Republican.

Princess Ivanka of New Jersey sounds so cool. What about Prince Eric? Duke and Duchess of Clinton anyone? The Right Honorable, their supreme majesties Lord and Lady Obama. Why not!
