Thank You, Mr. President

Irony?
I’m never sure what qualifies as irony or mere sarcasm. Comments are welcome:
PEACE, please people!
Guns and Thorns
the fetishists have cried,
“leave our guns alone!”
when no one has called
for their removal.
paranoid fools who fail
to see or care, cry time
and time again that any
move breeds futility
while still more innocents
die and we offer up only
thoughts and prayers.
Peace, people.
True Story
I keep my blog fairly free of political posts. Oh, occasionally I’ll get riled up about something and spout off, but for the most part Praying For Eyebrowz is a peace-filled zone.
My Facebook feed is just the opposite in a schizophrenic sort of way. It’s filled with dozens of political memes along with a smattering of cat videos. I tried to go without posting political stuff on my feed, but I’m almost addicted.
A few days ago I posted this meme. I think it’s hysterical and makes light of the whole wacky far right’s insistence that the President is a Muslim in cahoots with radical jihadists.
In my comments section I found a nifty conversation between two extreme right wing conspiracy theorists who waxed eloquently about the evils of the current administration bringing about a New World Order. On and on they went using ridiculously inflammatory language intended to get a reaction from me or my friends. And a beautiful thing happened:
We ignored them.
No one responded to these two. It was beautiful. We could’ve gotten all righteous and gone on the attack, but decided to let it go, and the conspiracy theory nut jobs played out like a couple of dud firecrackers.
To celebrate this lesson learned I am going to declare my Facebook page and my blog politics free zones for the next two weeks. That’s my Christmas gift to friends and family. Yes, among other things I’m a bit of a cheapskate.
I’ll leave you with a cute Christmas cat video:
Big Game Monday
The day after Super Bowl Sunday should from now on be known as Big Game Monday. The post office should be closed. Schools should be on holiday. People should have the opportunity to recover. I’ve said this for years, and I don’t know why someone hasn’t taken action.
Who must I contact to make this happen? Troy Aikman? Terry Bradshaw? We all know Congress won’t do a damned thing. Figuring I’d go right to the top I wrote this letter to the First Fan:
Dear President Obama,
Hey! How are you? How are Michelle and the girls? I’m a huge supporter. Huge.
Listen, I know you’re busy, so I won’t waste your time. We need to declare the day following the Super Bowl a national holiday. I know you watch the game, and I think you might be the person to make this happen. A little Executive Order ought to do the trick.
You know productivity on Super Bowl Monday is practically non-existent. Americans are hungover and sleep-deprived. Half the country is depressed because their team lost. The other half is giddy. No one is getting anything accomplished.
What do you say? It’s worth a try. Of course, I don’t really give a flip who wins this year, but the Cowboys might be in the big game next year, so let’s make this happen.
Oh, and Boehner is a party pooper. 😉 Keep giving him hell, and bypass him on this one.
Sincerely,
Nana Noyz
How do I make sure he gets my letter?
Not entrusting it to this man, for sure!
C’mon in! Stay awhile! If our President comes through we don’t have to go to work tomorrow!
Peace, People! And thanks to Pinterest for the memes.
