Can anyone find a reporter with the minimal courage to ask K-Mac replacement Vince Fong a straightforward question?
"Congressman, do you refer to Covid-19 as the China Virus? Do you believe that kind of rhetoric is suitable or appropriate?
The Fongster would almost certainly start to hedge and equivocate.
Simply make him, and every other minimally moderate member of the Republican House.... a total Trump sycophant. Right out of the gate. Because if you accept an endorsement from the Orange Prolapse, you own it.
Don't allow Fong to keep Trump at arms length (the Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin model).
Hint: David McCormick in Pennsylvania.

| A straight up "Bus Stop" Dump. (The Blvd. of the Allies can be really unforgiving) |

| A rare YINZER POWER Dump! North Shore ahead of tonight Pirates/Braves game at PNC Park! |

| Red, white and blue sprinkles are all the rage. |
Hit Fong where it hurts. Right in his tiny, mushroom Fong-dong.

Vincent Fong In Trump Tower
sonofsaf
Donald Trump is a fuckin’ queer, that’s my woke and true belief,
The pink slime abusin’, of McDonald’s ground beef
Insurrection, a coup is fine, Proud Gals giving birth
Oath Keepers are doing fine but have a limited self-worth
Lake Tahoe you are invited, Stormy’s tits ain’t no joke
Forty-five’s the one who’ll fuck us and steal your cash until you’re broke
But you ask why, The Donald’s fat, make America great
Orange Prolapse is a dumb ass clown, Trump Tower is spreading hate
Vincent Fong in Trump Tower, Kushner kike’s a Jew
While all the money being spent, on breast implants, woooo.*
Big lie the resistance as Democrats will scowl
Joe Biden’s encroaching, it’s the Mar-A-Lago prowl
All Along The Watchtower
Grateful Dead
"There must be some way out of here," said the joker to the thief,
"There's too much confusion, I can't get no relief
Businessmen, they drink my wine, plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth."
"No reason to get excited", the thief, he kindly spoke,
"There are many here among us who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that, and this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late".
All along the watchtower, princes kept the view
While all the women came and went, barefoot servants, too.
Outside in the distance a wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching, the wind began to howl.
My second parody of Watchtower. Three years ago, I penned #411. I Will Superempower (the only auto-biographical, black swan, apocalyptic parody known to mankind)
I always liked Bob Weir's "searing" rendition of Watchtower. Really got the crowd moving. Saw of few of 'em back in the day. Good stuff.
From 1969 to 1995, the Dead played the Burgh a grand total of 19 times.
