How is this idiot of a Senator, not to mention the clown-car aides who made that ridiculous poster, still holding his head up after falsely accusing Smith of perjury based on his completely imaginary conspiracy theory?

But then I sigh, and, with a piece of scripture, Tell them that God bids us do good for evil: And thus I clothe my naked villainy With odd old ends stol’n forth of holy writ, And seem a saint, when most I play the devil.

After that kiss we watch the squirrels for a while. You ask if I were an animal which animal would I be. As though you haven't noticed I'm a hedgehog. Don't want to tell you that. So you whisper you're a bat, and suddenly I can see the bones of your wings. #ThingsToWriteAbout #tinyfiction
