Anyway, if you're looking at the US of A from a safe distance, you may be having trouble keeping track of all the new cabinet appointees being introduced by
ANNIE'S HANDY GUIDE TO THE NEW WORLD ORDER!
Exhibit A: Secretary of State Rex Tiller$on
Mr. Tiller$on used his charm and his wide knowledge of the
Exhibit B: Attorney General Jeff $e$$ion$
The law of the land rests in the sooty hands of Mr. $e$$ion$, who will be the first to tell you that the South will Rise Again, just as soon as we require all African Americans to have notarized letters from Abraham Lincoln, personally attesting to their right to vote. We don't want just anyone voting, now do we? Equality is for snowflakes, not He-Man Republican$!
Exhibit C: Education Secretary Betsy DeVo$$
I'll be posting this a day before Ms. DeVo$$ is set to be confirmed, but the bet is safe. Never mind that hordes of taxpaying parents have deluged their senators' phone lines, inboxes, office fronts, and Twitter feeds begging them not to confirm her, Ms. DeVo$$ is very popular with Republicans. Does it matter that she personally feels that public schools are breeding grounds for criminal minds, egged on by evil, unionized teachers? Ah, no. She'll fix it. It's her mission!
Exhibit D: Director of the Environmental Protection Agency, $cott Pruitt
This photo is metaphorical. Think of the planet Earth as the coast of Florida, and Pruitt as the force pictured above. Any questions?
There were so many promises heaved about during the election season. One of them was to get big money out of government and "drain the $wamp." Honestly, it seems like the swamp is not so much drained as deluged. Which is all good, because you don't have to call it a swamp anymore. Now it's a lake, which isn't a swamp. So there!
Yes, I am sucking my thumb. Can you blame me?

Scary .... cuz it's true.
I am one of the new readers from Debra's 'She Who Seeks' blog. I'm so glad she pointed me in this direction because you are a super cool lady. I just hate that I had to arrive at a time when all this is going on. Sounds awful. And like Debra, I'm Canadian. Would you like to borrow our Prime Minister for a little while. He's really nice.
I would love to borrow your prime minister! Every time I see him I cry. I want him that bad.
Hahahahaha, your choice of photos to illustrate the cabinet picks just cracked me up!
I'm also one of your new readers via Debra. Sad to say, I live in the great "Red State" of Texas. Which is currently owned by Republicans as they have thrown us back to the stone age out here. But enough of my liberal plight.
I just loved the way you pictured these cabinet picks. Awesome! Also, the slight touch of $$ for S's in their names was absolutely brilliant.
Although Debra sent me to you, alas, I do not live in Canada. I would like to live in Canada, even though it would mean giving up my no-snow-or-ice Florida. I laughed when I saw the photo you used for Betsy, but her beliefs, like the other members of the Billionaire Boys Club Cabinet, are no joke.
Love,
Janie
we're fucked
Apparently "draining the swamp" exposes more alligators... heh.
We are SO screwed! Our only hope is what's left of the judicial system. None of these appointments have a clue about the law or the constitution, although it hasn't stopped them yet.
