Well done, Republicans. One of the reasons people voted you into power was to repeal Obamacare and you've failed to do that. How many other election promises will you break? Some, all, most? Who knows, and rather than reflect on this unsettling question I went fishing.
It was tranquil as the sun set behind the limestone bluffs overlooking Lake Whitney and I cast off from the solitude of the bank, enjoying the peaceful sound of the line as it played out across the sun-reflecting water. Very peaceful, unless you're a fierce voracious fish.
Within minutes, an underwater predator plowed into my worm, diving and pulling against the line, a Drum. Next up, a decent little Bass took the bait, thrashing and leaping, big fun. But imagine what those fish would be like if they were large; deadly.
Then the action slowed down, with more fish sneakily eating the bait off the hook than striking. Still, I reeled in a couple of Bluegill and so what if they're small, they put up a fight. And that was that, an uplifting couple of hours in the clean lakeside air of an early Texan spring evening.
What a good result unlike, say, the useless, dismal, failing performance of the Republican Party, who can't live up to one of their most basic election promises. Our corrupt, lying, hypocritical, elitist, smug, mendacious and venal mainstream media will doubtless run and run with this story. But hey, maybe it's all part of the art of the deal.
Fish on,

We've been betrayed - yet again.
ReplyDeleteThe fish bit predictably. At least there's something you can rely on.
An election promise they've been making for several years now. I keep voting for someone different hoping to find someone who will live up to their promises. The President can't do it alone.
ReplyDeleteYou took the better choice to go fishing. Ounce for ounce bluegill are feisty little things and always good for a battle.
Hope the thunderstorms missed you!
There is a reason the Republicans are known as the "Stupid party."
ReplyDeleteExpect a Democratic landslide in 2018.
