Mitch McConnell Appreciates His "Me" Time

Mitch McConnell, the senior senator from Kentucky, works hard. Being the leader of the Republican Party in the Senate, he has a tremendous amount of responsibility. That is why Senator McConnell believes it is so important for him to make some time just for himself every day.


"People don't realize how stressful it is being a Republican senator. Some days it's 10 hours straight working to stifle the president's plans. After that, I need a break. I'll often meet up with my crochet club at Paneras. After a split pea soup and turkey sandwich, we crochet baby booties until closing time. It's a great way to unwind."

Senator McConnell said that some of the most difficult times for him were when Donald Trump was president. "Just because we were both Republicans didn't mean that we were always on the same page. People sometimes forget that I'm an ultra-conservative Republican and Donald Trump is a lunatic Republican. While he was president, and even now, I often had to support his lunatic agenda or risk being assaulted by his base. When these times got too stressful, there was nothing better than going home, playing with my cat Snuffles, and then relaxing in a hot bubble bath with a glass of chardonnay. On really bad nights, I might even treat myself to a Lifetime movie before bed."


The senator's days are always full. "In the morning I might spend some time berating Nancy Pelosi. Then it's time to vote against some relief package. After that, I might meet with some constituents promising them to work on closing the border. Finally, the day ends with an interview on Fox discussing how to stop the president's socialist agenda. By then, I'm pooped!"

When he has a day off from his busy schedule, Senator McConnell tries to make the most of it. "Whenever I can, I'll begin my day doing some gardening. I'm a big fan of marigolds. Then I meet my friend Gladys and we get mani-pedis. Then it's off to lunch at Applebee's with the rest of the gang. Either that, or we meet up later and catch the early bird at a local diner!"

Senator McConnell doesn't know how much longer he will remain in politics, but he credits his work-life balance with helping him last as long as he has. "After spending a long day denying Americans their voting rights, there's nothing better than to settle down with a nice cup of cocoa and an episode of the Golden Girls. It really is the little things that make a big difference."

Jersey City Statue Modified to Reflect "Jersey Attitude"

Image
A large sculpture depicting a woman with her finger to her lips in a "shushing" pose was recently unveiled in Jersey City, New Jersey. The statue is called "Water's Soul" and it is intended as a tribute to the beauty and importance of the Hudson River. The artist placed his art so that it would overlook the river and face New York City in the hope that it would unite the people of Jersey City and New York City. Unfortunately, the powers that be in Jersey City decided that the statue needed some modifications. "Ya know, having a lady shushing, or whatever, is nice I guess, but it just don't feel like New Jersey," said Jersey City council member Art Gottago. "I mean, maybe some fancy-schmancy states like Connecticut would say it's great, but this is Jersey! I'm not saying the statue is bad or nothin', but c'mon! It's a giant lady asking people to be quiet. Good luck with that!" The Jersey City Council determined that the

President Biden Puts Florida Up for Sale

President Joe Biden has decided that the state of Florida is no longer worth the trouble. "Sometimes you realize you just have to cut bait," said the president. "I just didn't know what we could do about it. Then, last Sunday, I was watching cartoons with my grandson. A Bugs Bunny comes on and at some point Bugs takes a big saw and cuts Florida loose. That's when it hits me; maybe we can't cut Florida off the continent, but I bet we could get some other country to take it off our hands." There is precedent for countries to buy and sell territories. Although his offer was not accepted, former president President Trump tried to buy Greenland from Denmark. The United States purchased the entire middle of the country from France with the Louisiana Purchase. In 1867, Russia sold Alaska to the U.S. for $7.2 million. So the idea of selling Florida to another nation is not all that strange. The Biden administration is actively seeking buyers. They have already r
