Knowing Your Left from Your Right

My Son Asked, “Mommy, what’s the difference between a Democrat and a Republican?
I took a deep breath and told him the truth:
A Democrat is like your favorite aunt, who promises to take you to Disneyland — but then something else always comes up and she doesn’t keep her promise.
And a Republican is like your grumpy old uncle, who says there’s not enough money to go to Disneyland, but later you find out that he went there without you.

But we never learn: we keep flipping back and forth, one to the other, when they let us down.

Randy Cassingham is best known as the creator of This is True®, the oldest entertainment feature on the Internet: it has been running weekly by email subscription since early 1994. It is social commentary using weird news as its vehicle so it’s fun to read. Click here for the site — basic subscriptions are free.


Comments? Sorry: Facebook retired their commenting system (they didn’t even bother to alert me). Just as well, I suppose, but sadly there is no way to recover the many hundreds of comments made on this site. Lesson learned: never rely on someone else’s site for prime functions, especially “social media”!

Since this site is mostly retired now (maximum of one new post per month), I did decide that since all comments are now gone that I would not attempt to install any new commenting system. -rc
