How about a song concerning the makings of a Regular Guy?

Well here it is. A Little Rock (not the Arkansas kind) and some psycho-deli for a side treat.

Anyway, I hope you listen and like it. Share it if you want. Won't cost you a thing and I won't make a thing.

Congratulations to MO Congresswoman Ann Wagner who thought California, MO was in CA when Democrats in that city protested about a GOP redistricting plan. Ann said Missourians would pick their districts not Soros and CA.

Keith Olberman today claims Ann Wagner as the Worst person In the World today!

So, Our Little Margie wanted to run for the Senate, but Mr. Honeywell told her she had to stay in the House.

So Our Little Margie told everyone that Mr. Honeywell was protecting sex traffickers and pedophiles.

Now Mr. H. Claims that Margie is a horse faced whore!

Now we wait for the next episode.

Prison medical problems in the Blow-Me State (aka Mizzourah!)

Don't expect the Republican controlled General Assembly, or Governor to do anything about it.

They don't even believe in health care for their non-imprisoned constiutents.

This my song about the murder of John Lennon. Shot and killed by an insane white boy with mental problems and access to a gun. Almost as if he was on a boat in the Caribbean.

There’s an old saying, “No peace , no justice.”

Too bad we do not disrupt the peace of the Supreme Court which denies justice for the sake of Trumpism.

It’s a cold day in the Midwest, where love doesn’t grow on trees.

Here’s a song about a Blonde haired West Coast Girl. A coldness of a different kind. She trades an oyster for a pearl.

A meme based on Eyes Wide Shut of Trump in foreground and Epstein in background with Maxwell in a mask.

Scene would be in the mansion and Epstein would be dressed like Ted Cloak.

Caption: Eyes Wide Trump.

Any meme person who likes the idea can have it.
