The Magic Kingdom


My skin crawled as I listened to the State of the Magic Kingdom speech detailing an America of only superlatives, with all the devils identified for eradication.  The research for the speech must have been done by the staff of Melania’s BE BEST program. In fact, Melania was a nice sideshow.

The President drew unctuous applause from an audience of Republican jack-in-the-boxes, who did many knee bends that night. He used nearly every possible cliché, with an all-American crescendo including Davey Crockett, Wyatt Earp and the Alamo. And he was consummate in plucking the nation’s heart strings with his selection of galley mini-dramas.

Yes, my skin was crawling.
