If there's a heaven and a hell, what do you suppose will happen to...

[Fridays Child]

...Roger Ailes, when he "dips his toes in the chilly streams of Jordan?"

(Of course, I wish him a long, prosperous life and am only engaging in idle speculation.)

1. Roger Ailes is one of those lucky few who's death will result in myself baking a celebration cake.

A lot of NeoCons are on my list.

[Fridays Child]

3. What flavor?

It's difficult to overstate the loathing I feel for Ailes and his slimy ilk. I'm partial to chocolate but probably wouldn't turn down a slice of anything you bake on that day.

4. I only bake chocolate cakes.

6. Well then, there you go!

The best!

2. I've always liked Mark Twain's view on heaven and hell...

5. I wonder what Samuel Clemens would have to say...

...about the current condition of American politics.

I wonder what Will Rogers would say, too. I've always loved his quote, "I am not a member of any organized political party. I am a Democrat."

7. Twain would probably say the same things today that he said back in his day.

Fleas can be taught nearly anything that a Congressman can.

Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a member of Congress. But I repeat myself.
- Mark Twain, a Biography

Congressman is the trivialist distinction for a full grown man.
- Notebook #14, Nov. 1877 - July 1878

All Congresses and Parliaments have a kindly feeling for idiots, and a compassion for them, on account of personal experience and heredity.
- Mark Twain's Autobiography; also in Mark Twain in Eruption

The lightning there is peculiar; it is so convincing, that when it strikes a thing it doesn't leave enough of that thing behind for you to tell whether--Well, you'd think it was something valuable, and a Congressman had been there.
- Mark Twain's Speeches, "The Weather"

It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.
- Pudd'nhead Wilson's New Calendar

It is the foreign element that commits our crimes. There is no native criminal class except Congress.
- More Maxims of Mark, Johnson, 1927

Whiskey is carried into committee rooms in demijohns and carried out in demagogues.
- Notebook, 1868

...I never can think of Judas Iscariot without losing my temper. To my mind Judas Iscariot was nothing but a low, mean, premature, Congressman.
