Not Entirely Right For The First Time (Mylot Exclusive #1853)

When Dianne Feinstein finally died ((On Fractious Friday, September 29, 2023, at age 90)), I said, "Hallelujah! Surely, this is the start of a glorious new age of effective leadership in the US Senate because the seal has been broken! The pump has been primed! The floodgates are open! The Grim Reaper is Reaping! And, very soon, all the other way too old counter-productive deadweight in the Senate will be gone! Chuck Grassley, Mitch McConnell and many many others!" And many of you, my 226.4 Billion Loyal Dedicated Daily Readers, replied, "That's a pipedream, Sir. And what that pipe's full of is still illegal here in the Neon Fun Jungle. The Senile Senate is not over. You won't get out of this what you think you are. It will be business as usual for the foreseeable forever. Maybe longer. Furthermore, stop calling me Shirley! I don't know who she is, nor do I care. But I am not her!" It turns out that you weren't as wrong as you usually are. And I was, for the first time ever, a little bit not quite entirely right. My dreams of all the useless old Senators getting out of the way by dying have been reduced to tiny nuggets like this: "US Senator Mitch McConnell will not run for reelection in 2026," ((Article Linked Below)). If Mitch is telling the truth, we won't have to worry about the possibility of having the second worst President in history following the first worst one. And that's all we got out of Dianne Feinstein's death. ************* Reuters US Senator Mitch McConnell will not run for reelection in 2026 Story by Reuters • 2h • 1 min read
