Don't Carry It

Don't carry it

Set it down

Let go of it

Let go

Die Twice

We die a small death
When someone leaves
And no one can ever die twice
Let them do what they need
Let them love as they please
We've already paid the price

I dream in the color of love

iPhone Repairs

I dropped my iPhone this week and cracked the screen. Luckily, I found a skilled repairman. He was a real phony!

Kenneth Starr, the man who investigated a real estate deal and ended up impeaching a sitting president for having sex in his office, worries that independent prosecutor Mueller might "go on a fishing expedition" if his investigation strays too far from its intended objectives.

Woman: That would be SO uncomfortable!

The Firing of Anthony Scaramucci

These events actually happened.

Day One - Friday, 21 July

Anthony Scaramucci is introduced as the White House Communications Director.

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer promptly resigns.

Scaramucci, who isn't officially scheduled to start working until August, addresses the White House Press Corps for nearly an hour.

Day Six - Wednesday, 26 July

Scaramucci calls New Yorker reporter Ryan Lizza and unloads a dump truck full of profanity without specifying that their conversation should be off the record (a shocking mistake for a "communications director").

Day Seven - Thursday, 27 July

The New Yorker publishes Lizza's account of his conversation with Scaramucci.

In the article, the newly appointed White House Communications Director calls Chief of Staff Reince Priebus "a paranoid schizophrenic" and suggests, in the crudest possible language, that Steve Bannon took his current position in the administration for self gratification.

Long-standing tensions between Scaramucci and Priebus were also revealed.

Day Eight - Friday, 28 July

Trump announces on Twitter that Gen. John F. Kelly is taking over as the new White House Chief of Staff, effectively firing Priebus by tweet.

Day Eleven - Monday, 31 July

Scaramucci, whose arrival appears to have triggered the dismissal of both Spicer and Priebus, is himself fired at the request of General Kelly.

Let's hope that the firing of Scaramucci signals a much needed step toward establishing stability in a grievously dysfunctional White House.
