I  suppose the amusing thing — politically, this week — is the hypocrisy of the Democratic Party regarding Elon Musk and DOGE (the Department of Government Efficiency).  

As I think about Democrats, it reminds me of Pat Benatar’s 1983 song, “Hit Me With Your Best Shot.”

The song lyrics famously state:

“Why don’t you hit me with your best shot

“Hit me with your best shot

“Fire away” 

I am amazed at the shiny, shaved-headed woman (Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass.), asking who elected Elon Musk. 

My first thought is: How does she get her head to shine like that? 

I would never dream that one could polish human skin to such a sheen; but then reality returns, and my conscience snaps back to what she is saying.  

I realize the shine is all on the outside, like a cue ball, not on the inside where she needs it… and I think that the first likely scenario that comes to my mind is Harry Lloyd Hopkins… and I think, well, who elected Harry Hopkins? Harry Hopkins was an advisor to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, a Democrat. 

Well, Mommy Cue Ball, if FDR can do it, why can’t President Donald J. Trump do it?

I guess the answer to that is... just because the other boys are going to go jump off a bridge doesn’t mean you are going to jump off a bridge.  Remember, you ain’t a Democrat.

The next idea that pops in my mind is former President Bill Clinton and First Lady Hillary.  

Bill hadn’t been in office long, and I came to the conclusion that Hillary wasn’t like other first ladies. I thought she was shoving her nose into many government activities.  

My thought was, as was Cue Ball’s thought, nobody elected you (Hillary).  

I wasn’t alone in that thinking, because it wasn’t long before President Bill was doing a news conference regarding Hillary’s interference, assertion, inputs… and he was explaining to the American people, well, think of it this way, when you elected me you also got her — it’s kind of a two-for-one deal.  

To that end, I think, “Well, Mommy Cue Ball, if the other boys… Oh, shut up! You are not a Democrat!”

I’ve got more important things to worry about — like $1.5 million to buy condoms for the Taliban, or $1.9 million for Guatemalan transgender support, or $1.8 million for my Honduran LGBT group, or $70,000 for my Ireland DEI musical, or how about $32,000 for transgender comic books for Peru.  

Oh, well… I believe the shine is all on the outside, Mommy Cue Ball.  

Ain’t it amusing — the hypocrisy? 

“Hit me with your best shot.. Fire away.”
