Blow Hards

       Huh? Now even Sean Hannity is calling for Roy Moore to pull out of the race for Senator for Alabama. What, in the scheme of things, does that mean for the campaign to elect Judge Roy Moore? Mr. Moore is the judge who refused to follow the rulings of the Alabama Supreme Court and the U. S. Superior court and I think, but am not sure, the US Supreme Court, in the removing of some Civil War statues.
       But Sean Hannity has made his final decree in demanding that Moore step down and abandon his campaign for the Senatorial seat. Sean Hannity, who defended Moore right up until several companies who sponsored Hannity's shows, pulled their ads. That's the point at which Hannity switched sides and decided that money was more important than his support for a child molester.
       Now legally Moore is in no danger of a trial for molesting young girls for several reasons, not the least is that the legal age of consent in Alabama is six years of age. No, that's not true, the age of consent is sixteen in Alabama. Still, that wasn't young enough for good ole Roy, he had an eye for a fourteen year old girl. And he claims never to have dated a girl without her mother's consent.
       As for Hannity, his claim was that everyone has a right to be considered innocent, at least until the supporters begin to pull their ads. Now that's what I call sticking to your guns. Never turn your back on what is right as long as it's popular and financially profitable. And if you must choose between the two, profit wins out every time.
       Sean Hannity will stand tall in the annals of history for hard blows. Sean blows hard for justice right up until it has a cost to himself. Still you must agree, Sean is a blowhard. Something we Americans desperately need. For where would America be without it's blowhards, throughout history?

Rick Perry, Savior Of Young Maidens.

       Well, we can all rest easy now that Rick Perry has returned from his trip to South Africa. While there, he explained how fossil fuels can save young maidens from sexual abuse. That's right, just rub that oil all over their bodies and, presto, they will be safe. No, actually the "oops" man explained that if you give electricity to these small villages, the families can turn on the lights so the girls can read instead of , well, you know, having sexual encounters.
       To his chagrin it was explained that where there is central power, the long lines to electrify rural villages are down more than they are providing electricity. So Rick, the former governor of Texas, the former presidential candidate best known for his "Oops" statement in a debate when he couldn't remember what he wanted to say, has shown the equivalence of a Trump fumble.
       Ya see, South Africa is the 6th largest exporter of coal in the world. So why is the Energy Secretary for the United States trying to get them to use more fossil fuels? Wouldn't it make more sense to push renewable energy products. That way they wouldn't have to depend on long lines that don't work most of the time. And we might have a shot at selling them some 'made in America' products.
       That still leaves the question of how Perry came up with the girls being sexually attacked because of no electricity. Rick, just because you killed a coyote while jogging one day doesn't make you smart enough to be an Energy Secretary. Maybe a Coyote Killer Secretary, but not energy.
       I'd think you would have your hands full with handling the nuclear energy industry, which you don't know anything about, so, Rick, stay away from places like Africa, and well, most of the rest of the world. Just concentrate on our own energy problems which are growing bigger then ever since your elevation to Secretary status.
