CAUGHT....

i cannot tell you WHEN
 or WHERE
 or even HOW
the situation unraveled,
to the gruesome degree that it did...

things can be insidious.....
almost unnoticeable.....

and then....
all at once.....
a stage has been set ,
 with puppets,
and strings,
and Hollywood lights.....

and your WHOLE FAMILY is sitting in the audience,
awaiting the protagonist to swoop in.......
and SAVE THE DAY.....

and unbeknownst to ANY OF them.....
the hero is YOU !

YOU ARE THE HERO IN YOUR OWN PRODUCTION !!

and they applaud......
 and throw roses and RICE....

as if it were a WEDDING....
or perhaps,
 some other type of SIMCHA...(happy occasion)....

*do Jews throw rice ??

WHY DOES ANYONE THROW 'RICE' ??

are ALL of the 'players' Jews ??

and they appear, yet again, to 'HAVE YOUR BACK'......

and you, gratefully,
 lie down upon the FEATHER PILLOWS
 that they have,
generously,
 brought......
in order to enable you to SLEEP....
during the confrontation that ensues.......

it is interesting here to note that the rice being thrown
has been BOILED in
RUBBER CEMENT
  and 'MILK and HONEY'......

WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS, FOR GOD'S SAKE ????

the production will be a flop without them .....

WE SIMPLY CANNOT CONTINUE WITHOUT THEM !!
nonnegotiable !!

ironically, YOUR 'immediate' PEOPLE
 are a tad more liberal than you....

and suddenly....
the Conservatives appear !!!

because they TRULY HAVE YOUR BACK !!!
not just some silly, old, feather pillows....

but they are packing artillery and armies of GOOD WILL.......
and you will arise triumphant !!!!

THEY WILL INSURE YOUR VICTORY !!!

but what will you WIN ??
an existential dilemma, to be sure.......
