The Song's the Thing



May 30, 2018

Missouri Governor Eric Greitens resigned yesterday. He had gotten himself into some deep doo-doo, and had nobody to back him up, since he had alienated many members of his own party.

Especially great communicators
Did they have brains or knowledge?
Don’t make me laugh!

They were popular!

The song’s the thing wherein to teach wisdom to the king…
