Rip it good!


Thank you Shutterstock, for the image.

Dear you,

Unless you are a monk or nun on retreat, you know what that image is all about.  Donald's SOTU performance  was scary and hilarious.  The content of the speech, just plain scary.  And yes, Speaker Pelosi ripped her copy to close the event.  While my congressman Matt Gaetz is now fomenting and trying to find ways to punish her for this act, many (like me) are loving that moment.  Shred those lies, Nancy!

I also know I am one of many who hears an old Devo 80's song when reflecting on that gesture.  Thank you Devo for allowing me to wreck your work a bit:


When a Donald comes along
You must rip it
Before the lies make you agog
You must rip it
When something's going wrong
You must rip it
Now rip it
Into shreds
Tear it up 
Get straight 
Go forward
Move ahead
Try to correct it
It's not too late
To rip it
Rip it good

I love Nancy Pelosi.
And dramatic gestures.
Love, 
Joyce
