Where's Al Franken when you really need him?

by Angela K. Durden

If laughing at yourself is a sign of strong moral character and excellent emotional health, then I am healthy as a horse.

Regular readers can attest to the truthfulness of that statement because I, as The Most Brilliant and Hilariously Witty Woman In The World, continually make you laugh with me by making fun of myself.

To show you how emotionally healthy I am, even when people make fun of me without giving me a heads up, a thing that is not pleasant I assure you, somehow I manage to turn their frowns upside down by agreeing with them. That their nasty, raggedy thunder gets stolen is just an added bonus.

As your resident hot mess of contradictory dichotomies, I have no problem bringing other people and groups into my comedy routine — especially when they continually volunteer to get up on stage and offer their services.

Take, for instance, regular volunteers #CrunkNewsNetwork (a title under which all MSM operates), the P-HWPCDLRSFC*, and outlets for FLOTSAM**. There is not a day goes by but that they have their agents call me, wanting to insinuate themselves onto my stage.

Much like a vaudeville master of ceremonies, I graciously and willingly become their straight man and feed them the setup so they can deliver the joke. Then everybody gets to laugh. See how it works?

The only problem I'm having in the last week, though, is that many of my volunteers have gone silent. What with the whole imploding situation about the FISA warrant on all things Trump, based on a bought-and-paid-for fake evidence dossier that your Citizen Journalist has said all along was ginned up, even my regular volunteers mentioned above have gone to ground.


Where are you people?
This is not a time for a vacay.
Our public is waiting.
The show must go on?
I've got lines to feed you.
Where's Al Franken when you really need him?
