(Jan. 6, 2025) — “Casta Diva” (2:14)
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘The Pulse of the Nation,’ the place to hear it here first. Madam Shylock will be our featured guest who made a rather startling observation that we felt needed to be shared. As many of you know, Madam Shylock is our resident fortune-teller who guides wayward souls to try and keep on the straight and narrow. Madam Shylock runs her ‘Fortune-Telling Emporium’ in Cassadaga, Florida in the winter months while traveling the county carnival circuit in the Midwest during the warmer months. Welcome to ‘Pulse,’ the most-watched information show in its time slot.”
“And thank you for inviting me. It’s always a pleasure to be on your show which, I might add, has increased my business to the point that I do ‘readings’ only by appointment. Gives me time not sitting around waiting for the doorbell to ring.”
“That’s nice. Now you said that you made a rather startling observation, isn’t that so?”
“Yes, that is quite correct. Remember that episode of ‘The Twilight Zone,’ titled ‘The Masks,’ where the relatives put on hideous masks they must wear until midnight, and when they take them off their faces become just like the masks?”
“Yes, I remember. What’s your point?”
“Okay, remember those photos of Liz Cheney on the J-6 Committee?”
“There were quite a few of them if I remember correctly.”
“Then pick any one of them, and then fast-forward to when she received that bogus award from the China-lovin’ crook, Biden.”
“Alright, she looks the same.”
“Exactly, and that’s my point. Sitting up there, behind that impregnable castle in the sky, that ‘Kafka Prop,’ she wears the look of a high-and-mighty vindictive prosecutor, out to ruin people’s lives based on a lie.”
“What lie would that be?”
“The lie of the Jan. 6 so-called ‘insurection’ when all along everyone knows it was the Pelosi-Pence insurrection backed by the Pentagon, that is, if you want to know the truth. And before you ask, if what I said wasn’t true the Army would’ve stepped in and solved the problem.”
“Problem?”
“The ‘problem’ was certifying fraudulent votes.”
“Oh.”
“So, the look on Liz Cheney’s face up there on the dais during the Jan. 6 hearings is THE SAME LOOK SHE WORE AS SHE RECEIVED THAT BOGUS MEDAL FROM BIDEN, is what I’m saying.”
“You mean that mean, pinched-vindictive ‘I’m doing something wrong but I’m getting away with it’ look?”
“Yep, that’s the one, the way she’ll look forever.”
“You mean forever and ever? That mean pinched-vindictive look, the look of the ‘Wicked Witch of the West’ look?”
“Forever.”
“Her soul revealed for eternity. Well, can’t say she doesn’t deserve it. And that’s all the time we have. Goodnight.
“Good show. Burger time: my treat.”
“Season of the Witch” (4:56)
