It’s all politics this week. Let us not argue.
Exit. Let us reflect on the passing of a political estrogen powerhouse. Sister Sandra Day O’Connor, the first woman to ever serve as a Supreme Court Justice from 1981 to 2006, has exited this mortal coil. One would think that the first woman Justice would bring an unwelcome liberalness to the chambers, but that was not Sister SDO’s track, although she did become known as a swinger. I will reflect on her years of service as rational, measured and open to dissent. It grieves me that she had to retire to care for her husband in his suffering with Alzheimer’s, a disease which ultimately overtook her as well. Alas, her successor on the Court makes her look positively socialist, but that’s for another column! As we reflect on the Supreme Court of Heaven, I imagine Sister Sandy and Sister Ruth discussing the path they paved for other women in power. And while I can’t speak for the majority opinion, I will go on record to say that I’d much rather side with Sister Day-O than find myself in dissent with her replacement.
Expulsion. I have been praying about my response to Brother/Sister George Santos. I have never witnessed a person whose lies and untruths were quite so grand. It should have been a sign of trouble when he, as a sodomite, was elected into the Republican party. These people are getting desperate for WHOEVER is on their ballot (see, e.g., Donald Trump). After the revelation of Georgie dressed as a woman in South America, one would have thought expulsion would have been nigh. It took numerous lies, grandiose stories and illegal use of campaign funds for new purses and furs for Congress to say enough is enough. Let us applaud the fortitude of our Representatives to, in a historic move, expel Miss Santos from their ranks. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have some popcorn in the microwave. What GS does next may be worth watching. Like Jerry Springer reruns.
Exchange. In a surprising turn of the political tide, Sister Nikki Haley is gaining popularity among wealthy members of God’s Own Party. I have been of the mindset of preparing for the seemingly inevitable Armageddon of another four years of the golden toilet based on news reports and polls. But now, Sister Haley is shaking up the race in an exchange of rankings. I must admit that she showed an actual brain in the recent debates, whether one agrees with her or not. It’s a stark contrast to the insanity emanating from the lips of the other weak debaters. Many fine Christian folk continue to extol our 45th President as “the most faith-friendly President in history,” so I feel the need to dig deeper into Sister Nikki’s religious background. As you may know, her birth name is Nimarata Nikki Randhawa…..a type of name that I’ve never seen on a Babatist Cradle Roll. While she CLAIMS to be a Methodist (which is bad enough), she was actually raised by Indian immigrants in the faith of their homeland. How in the world she is going to present herself as a Christian Nationalist in these times is beyond me. I wish I could do a Pun Job on her, but let’s face it, she’s just Sikh!
