Update: Knock me over with a feather. Mitch McConnell is alive, and he's in D.C.
Another Update Now That I've Thought About It: Mitch is in D.C. being pushed around in a wheelchair. That doesn't mean he's alive. The man has been brain dead for a long time.
A few weeks ago, Senator Mitch McConnell's staff said he would return to work on September 14th––today. The 14th morphed into not knowing when McConnell will show his dried-up prune face.
If you think I'm obsessed with Mitch McConnell's disappearance, maybe it's because I am. The governor of Kentucky has demanded proof of life and received nothing.
Many people have criticized Governor Beshear for not bursting into the hospital or rehab center where McConnell is allegedly a patient to see McConnell for himself. But even a corpse has rights under HIPAA.

Honoring The Dogs of 9/11
Another problem with McConnell is that it’s always been difficult to tell if he’s alive or dead. Tell us again how hard politicians work for us. What a frickin’ country.
ReplyDeleteAnd the longer people like McConnell manage to stay in office, the richer they get. He didn't come from a wealthy family but he has millions now.
DeleteDid you notice he doesn’t look anything like that fake photo from the hospital all those weeks ago?
DeleteYes, I noticed. We all knew the photo was faked.
DeleteMitch is dead. Or, at the very least, brain dead, though how could we tell the difference.
ReplyDeleteHis corpse is in DC now.
DeleteNice to see a remembrance of the 9/11 dogs, so seldom mentioned! As for Mitch McConnell, it's a mystery.
ReplyDeleteI remember requests for leather booties for the dogs because their paws were getting cut while they worked.
DeleteLove the first one, especially! ☺ Interesting about Mitch McConnell. In Canada, there's no news about that, so I'm wondering, why would they pretend he's alive if he isn't?
ReplyDeleteWonderful images of the 9/11 dogs! ♥
I was moved by the photos of the dogs, too. They would pretend McConnell is alive to keep the governor of Kentucky from appointing a replacement to the senate. Governor Beshear is a Democrat, who would probably appoint a Democrat, thus upsetting the fragile Republican hold on that body.
DeleteThanks for the explanation, Janie. I didn't have a clue about the McConnell thing, but it all makes sense now. Saw your update and apparently he isn't dead, so I guess the Republicans are relieved.
DeleteMcConnell voted on something yesterday -- don't remember what it was. There was a vote on the war in Iran this morning. I want to find out if he voted. McConnell used to be very powerful. Now his only power is in maintaining a Republican majority that's being eroded as more Republicans come out against the felon.
DeleteI woke up this morning to read the astonishing news. Are we sure it’s not AI?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the AI we've been told is going to kill everyone and destroy the world.
DeleteThe urn on the fireplace mantle, hahahahaha! I'm home again now and back to daily blogging.
ReplyDeleteI've missed you so much. I was about to send out a search party.
DeleteOMGosh. That report from Massie is so disgusting.I've always wondered how many folks would run for Congress if there were a few less bennies and pay. The memes about Mitch are hilarious. Hope all is well in your corner of the worold.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people would love to work those hours for that pay.
DeleteThank you so much for sharing this post, dear Janie! I am also happy that the dogs of 9/11 are recognized.
ReplyDeleteThose dogs deserve to be remembered.
DeleteYes they do, dear friend. Thank you.
DeleteBeautiful tribute to the 9/11 dogs.
ReplyDeleteTheir loyalty and courage deserve to be remembered always.
