Do we really have yet another farewell feast of lies on Thursday? Wasn't today enough?

[Mira]

I learn that *W*
(think of it as a puckered you-know what)
has decided to speak to us again as a way of cleaning up his despicable image before he flies deep into the heart of Texas, where I hope he will not rest in peace and dread his arrest for which I pray fervently every day.

I might be forced to give a block party during that performance, hand out some sort of soft shoe facsimile, we haul them throughout the little mealymouthed "speech", have people throw them back to be re-thrown - and sing Amen Hallelujah and other songs to be yet determined.
Or chant:
"What do we say? Go away! - Say it is so! He's gonna go"

Light fireworks.
Pop Champagne corks (pot-luck-champagne)

Invite the press.

1. Nobody is forcing anyone to watch. I didn't, and I won't.

Why would I watch something which is despicable and just pisses me off? What, do people believe he was or is going to repent and beg forgiveness?

2. I should have, methinks, indicated that if I do this it is for fun-frolic-finality?

I'm lightening up a little more every day. It's 7 days / 15 hours / 49 min until something I have dreamed about and hoped for will actually happen. A time or two I was on my knees, mentally. My tin foil hat made me sweat underneath it in dread he would find a way to prevent his leaving.
Oh yes. It warrants watching. It's history. And I'm here for the last of it.

3. It's like picking at a scab. Pass. n/t
