Fifty-Five Today

MyLot Exclusive #129 I'm really busy having the best day ever. Which makes it just like every other day. With one small exception. It's also my birthday, so there's cake, too. That doesn't happen every day. It should but it doesn't ((God, if You're listening, can you fix that, please? Thanks)). But I am taking a brief break from all the fun and frivolity (There will probably be a future post on them) to make an important announcement: Up until today, I thought that the GOP exclusively used It Wasn't Me (Link below, if you've never heard it or have and want to hear it again) as their theme song. But now, the Democrats are getting in on the act. My friend Ralf (Ralph Northam, not Ralph Kramden---He's a bus driver in New York while the other Ralf is a governor) is now using the "It Wasn't Me" Defense. Just like in the song. Just like my Republican friends such as Donny and Mike. Et al. Despite photographic proof to the contrary plus previous admissions of guilt. Will it work for Ralf? Or will it blow up in his face? He hasn't resigned yet, so maybe. It's a still-developing story, so things may change. Personally, for what it's worth, I think he still had a chance before he said, "It wasn't me." Americans habitually forgive really terrible things and they may have forgiven him. But now? He's even a bit scuzzier than he was before and it's even more obvious that he needs to go---And Americans are the most unfogiving when it comes to coverups. If I were betting on this, I'd put my money on Resignation. Probably by Monday. Just in case you have no idea what I'm talking about, I've included a handy link below the song that explains everything. Shaggy - It Wasn't Me with Lyrics! Northam tells Virginia Democrat it wasn't him in racist photo, won't resign despite mounting pressure to do so https://www.cnn.com/2019/02/02/politics/northam-racist-yearbook-photo/index.html

@xander6464 I always just blame it on the boogie. Works every time. Especially on my birthday.

Happy birthday Poor old Ralph, unable to convince us of his innocence despite all the photos and other evidence saying otherwise - what a shame we won't just take his word for it lol
The greatest band of all time singing happy birthday to you! PD: The video was originally edited with the beatles version, but after becoming popular in the ...

Thank you, Arthur. That was yesterday's Theme Song. Yeah, Ralf Is really being treated unfairly. And I still think that if he had just said, "Yes, I did it and I'm sorry," he might have had gotten through it.

I don't know, it's rare for me to find a man who owns up to his mistakes. Thankfully, I raised two boys who do.

It's rare in general...I'm the exception that proves the rule. If I ever do anything wrong (Hasn't happened yet but the statisticians say it's bound to happen someday), I will be the first to admit it...and it almost never happens among politicians.

@just4him Of course, I would admit it. As far as you know. With politicians, it is rare but Al Franken did it. He made a mistake and admitted it and then resigned. I don't think Hell froze over but just to be safe, if a guy with horns asks you to go ice skating, JUST SAY NO!

@xander6464 I wonder if you would admit it. For a politician to admit he made a mistake and take the blame, the sun would melt into the ocean and hell would freeze over. It'll never happen.

Happiest birthday wishes! I'm happy it was the best day ever, just like all the other days and I hope that continues for you - almost birthday twin. I say we celebrate all month. LOL I never realized what the lyrics to that song were

Thank you, Faye. I like the all-month celebrating idea, but since February is the shortest month, I say we start on New Year's Eve and finish on Feb. 28. Otherwise, we get shorted three days.
