Emperor’s lack of clothing

Editor,

I distinctly remember the three small soapstone monkeys on the mantle. See no evil, hear no evil and say no evil. I believe they were supposed to be guidelines to a virtuous life. ‘Well the time has come the walrus said, to speak of many things, of sailing ships and sealing wax, of cabbages and kings.’ Yes, we need to associate the cabbages with the kings as in cabbage heads. Indeed, we need to speak of the need to look to our senses and the realities that the evidence presents. Choosing not to is to translate the three monkeys into a more pertinent translation. You’d need to be deaf, dumb and blind not to come to the conclusion that our emperor is running around stark naked. It’s time to remove his presence from our eyes.

I guess Mike is treating us to his little make believe story time. Kind of like Adam Schiff did the other day in congressional hearings. Have fun watching the investigators get investigating, prosecuted and jailed. That is if you are interested in non fiction.

Only twenty Republican Senators are needed.
