Lt. Col. VIndman was set to testify in the House’s Secret Squirrel goings-on, until a group or Republicans stormed into the Secret Squirrel hearings by the Democrats and demanded an open hearing.<\/p>\n

I do not know exactly what is going on with this nonsense, other than the Democrats feeding their worthless egos and thinking they have control of anything, when they can\u2019t even control their own bowel movements, never mind the rest of their sordid crapweasel stuff.\u00a0 But The Pot is bubbling and boiling and there is a scent in the air that was not there before. And we all know that there is a witch or two in Congress….<\/p>\n

I hope it boils over.\u00a0 The timing on this is so odd\u2026. So very, very odd\u2026. It\u2019s as if the Democrats are huddling together to hide something, isn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t usually quote anything from the Scottish play, because it\u2019s supposed to be bad luck to even mention it by name during a production, but in this case, and because All Hallows Eve or Samhain or Hallowe\u2019en (take your pick) is next door, and you\u2019re not supposed to open the door in this time period when someone pounds on it, it was such significant timing that I see no reason to not quote the Scottish play, just this once. And these lines are about ambition, a fitting subject.<\/p>\n

Macbeth is fascinated by the prospects of being the most powerful man in all of Scotland. He wonders how the throne will come to him. He sees the prospects of doing an evil deed to get it:<\/p>\n

My thought, whose murder yet is but fantastical,<\/em><\/p>\n

Shakes so my single state of man that function<\/em><\/p>\n

Is smother\u2019d in surmise.\u00a0<\/em>(Act 1, Scene 3)<\/p>\n

I have no spur to prick the sides of my intent, but only<\/em><\/p>\n

Vaulting ambition, which o’erleaps itself<\/em><\/p>\n

And falls on the other. <\/em>Act 1, Sc. 7<\/p>\n

Happy Hallowe’en.\u00a0 Don’t open the door unless you know who is knocking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
