In an unexpected bow to America’s need for clean air and including a desperate attempt to make people stop watching the impeachment hearings, President Trump announced he is banning automobiles and going back to the full-scale manufacturing buggies.
And buggy whips.
“All the out-of-work wheelwrights, carpenters, horse breeders, and horseshoe makers,” he announced, “will be back on the job! We will also need millions of guys to clean up the horseshit.”
As a note for non-horse owners, a horse produces about eight piles of manure a day totaling 50 pounds, more or less.
Every day. All year. In all seasons. I please that without horseshit cleaner-uppers, the entire world would be completely covered with horse do-do in just a few years. I’m not sure how many, but someone once made that calculation I’ve just forgotten who and when. Or where.
That means for each horse in the U.S., it will create about nine tons of manure every year. This can be used as fertilizer, to make bricks, and especially as fuel with a higher heating value than seasoned hardwood. Plus, the resultant ash is an excellent soil additive.
Auto manufacturers ignored the announcement as General Motors kept rolling out the hybrids. Simultaneously, forty of Trump’s favorite Republican cronies cheered, promising this proposal would produce a massive job surge as well as a perfect, renewable source for heating homes.
Whoever is speaking for the White House these days — Trump himself maybe? — assured reporters that this administration has always been about horseshit, something about which many commentators could finally agree.

I, too, have been glued to the tv, and am super impressed by the witnesses. And Schiff. All the Reps have done has been sour grapes — they’re doing nothing in defense of themselves or Trump. Somehow, I think I’d rather not be governed by sour grapes! It is fascinating!

It must be hard to say they’ve had no chance to be involved when they’ve refused to honor subpoenas or allow witnesses to testify.

Or even to participate, perhaps, in the closed-door hearings?

I was going to say that you seem to be swimming in it at the moment.

I was equally glued to the Watergate hearings. I was also a total “Law & Order” junkie. There were days where I could not make it through the day without at least an hour of L&W. I also love procedural books about trials, so this shouldn’t be such a surprise. I really like this kind of thing anyway, even if it isn’t “real” — assuming this IS real.

We are too, and we watched the Watergate hearings with horror.

Cleverly done! But it makes a difference who said it — if it was Trump, he’ll change his mind in the morning!
