2026 - Swearing still in, while ceremonies are out, of the question...

“We’re all in this together…” In a place where the Inaugural address has none ”...as we’re all renters here…where every thing you need is free and no one owns any thing…wait…I meant owes no one in particular, not even your landlord…” Soaking the rich, while you soak up the sun…sounded like great fun…

A pregnant pause… after finding out the city was not…pregnant with cash - - after studying what used to be called the financials, when there were some to look at…”our future is now blight…we’ve even had to downsize albany to all lower case, due to a loss of capital… the movers and shakers ran away from the tax givers and takers…we had to transfer some to building funds to fund a wall around Wall Street to keep those few remaining from scramming...from taking even a bigger bite out of the apple..."

“My updated bucket list... if you’ll let me finish my term, after realizing there was a hole in my bucket, when the whole lot of them left…”we’ll have to scale back some city services and rely on volunteer…bucket brigades, to put out the fire sale…can still count on you, right?”

From west to eastbound... after the tax collectors couldn't get enough, clamped down "something fierce!", found the Clampetts packing up, moving from sunny California and back to the friendly hills...of the Ozarks. 

(I, for one, am glad it's safe to talk and poke fun of politicos again, now after all those friends and family broke bread, then fled)

  "King David, where art Thou?" Here and Now: When I need and you most...for a quote, a tip, let alone a quip... Clever crafted commentary: At his best, in his field, "In my humble opinion..."  "Coming to you tonight..." Each and every night, assuming we welcomed him with his partner, known in our home, as simply "Chet" when we referred to him on his own, but more formally when paired with "David" as the "Huntley-Brinkley" reporting team... Distinctly Brinkley: who got called on whenever things around here, US, were on the brink... "Sow, David..." It's how I heard it, and still remember it, as he was asked to comment, well into the eve of what was casted to be his final telecast of this type, on the eve of a second coming...of the Clintons, their return to the White House...a second (merry) go round... "For the love of Mike!" While he was not shy of the microphone, having gotten used to one on his desk ...
