(Feb. 8, 2025) — “Elusive Butterfly” (2:48)
“Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to ‘The Pulse of the Nation,’ the place to hear it here first. The most exclusive club in the world is ‘The Penguins.’ It’s so secret that half the members don’t even know they’re members. They have a rather peculiar way of greeting, reminiscent of ‘The Penguin’ (0:09)of ‘Batman’ television fame. We’ve been told that Henry wrote the play, and so we find ourselves at Bishop Dunkin’s little church down on Hawthorn Street. We’re ensconced in the balcony and the place is packed. And here comes Bishop Dunkin, walking to center stage to give the invocation. Let’s listen in.”
Bishop Dunkin raises his hands.
“Dear Lord, we are gathered to show solidarity to the playwright, and even though he may be small in stature, he is large in heart and has embraced our country as his own. Amen. And now, it is my great honor to announce the ‘Can Can’ lady frogs opening the play.”
The lights dim save for those above the stage (altar). Eight lady frogs enter from stage right, hop to the center, then stop and face the audience as they go through their opening routine.
“Ultimate Can Can Dancers” (0:52)
The Can Can troupe exits stage left. The stage is set as the checkout area of your neighborhood grocery store that used to have six registers but now has only two since the self-checkouts were installed. The traffic is light so the checkout girls are standing at their posts, gossiping about the headline of the latest paper-rag prominently displayed at the entrance of the chute to their register.
Register #1: “Do you believe that headline? ‘Christians 471, Jews 27?’”
Register #2: “That’s because they’re counting all they murder in Africa, that’s why. They didn’t used to, you know, so we were supposed to think it was only the Jews they were killing.”
Register #4: “I read on page 7 that they kill more Hindus than Jews.”
Register #1: “Don’t let Mr. Barker catch you reading any of that stuff. I’m always surprised at who buys that trash.”
Register #3: “I’m not. I think it’s a CIA memo that finds its way to the beginning of the chutes, the aisle that funnels the customers to our registers. That’s what I think.”
Register #1: “You may not be as far off as some of us may think. Nowadays, you can’t believe anything you see on TV anymore.”
Register #2: “Now ain’t that the truth?”
Register #3: “I think Greenland will be our 51st state.”
Register #1: “Why not Gaza?”
Register #4: “What about Canada?”
Register #1: “Not Canada; too many Muslims. Besides, all Canada has is Black Diamond Cheese and mosquitoes.”
Register #2: “Don’t forget the lemmings and moose.”
Register #3: “Maine has lots of moose. What’s the plural of ‘moose?’”
Register #4: “Many. And deer. They need Ted and Shemane Nugent to cull them.”
Register #1: “Eat a deer; save a cow.”
Register #1: “Shh! Here comes Mr. Barker.”
With the arrival of Mr. Barker, many customers flock to the counters. The lights dim.

“That was a great play, Henry. Anything to add?”
“No, that was it.”
“Alright, we’ll wrap it up: this is your Roving Reporter, along with Henry, wishing each of you a goodnight: Goodnight.
“Enjoyed the play. I think Madam Shylock sent over some butterfly caterpillars for you, Henry; I’ll grab a quick burger.”

I enjoyed your play, Henry, and you’re right: the Muslims kill anyone, even their kids in so-called “honor killings” which are, in reality, Murder One, aka premeditated murder.
As far as Israel making any “deals” with Hamas, what are they smoking over there?
Israel ought to end it, now, and for good, or else another Oct. 7 will pop up and I don’t want to hear any, “Oh, how terrible, another holocaust!”
I’m sick of it, of the Muslims murdering Christians in Africa and, let’s face it, people anywhere and everywhere at any time for absolutely no reason whatsoever except suffering from one serious mental disorder: the love of killing.
Sick of it.
Thank you for your well-thought-out comment, Chief, it’s always refreshing when like-minded individuals come together as a force of change for the good of all.
Let us hope and pray that Tom Homan will deport Omar and Tlaib soon, along with members of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood, heck, face it, deport all Muslims from our shores.
And if Bishop Dunkin is reading this, maybe send us a prayer to give our government the will-with-all to save itself from the enemy from within.
No way do we want any Jew bashing in the USA.
No way.
