It’s now more than two weeks since the election and things still look as bad as they did election night. For almost thirteen years I’ve been writing about politics, including what a disaster Donald Trump is, was or will be as President of The United States and now we’re going to get another chance to see him prove me right.
In my innocence I could see no way in which the American people would embrace a criminal who has had no qualms about telling them how he was going to extend his criminal empire once he moved into the White House.
So, they voted him in, and he immediately reacted to their support by picking some of the most incompetent clowns in political history as members of his cabinet. No, they probably won’t all be confirmed, in fact one has already passed, but their replacements will probably be worse. Hang on folks, it’s going to be a rocky ride.
I’ve been writing this blog for over dozen years now, and while some of you have indicated you enjoy reading it, it hasn’t really made the kind of impact I had hoped for when I started it. That fact coupled with advancing age and a desire to spend more time writing in other fields has led me to decide that The Curmudgeon will not be appearing weekly at least for the foreseeable future.
I will still be publishing when some situation gets under my skin, but it just won’t be regularly. For those who have been true friends, I thank you and hope you will still read what I publish. For those who have indicated that they would like to see me dead, hang in there. I’m almost 89 so I can’t last much longer.

Thanks for all your salient words. The only comfort I have these days are reports of dissention in the ranks. PS: this spring did a performance at an event called The Marxfest which was held at the Lambs Club. I did some shtick about the Pickle Brothers, the Marxes, and being on the Ed Sullivan show. Then I sang a song I wrote about then I put on a Harpo wig and top hat and sang and played piano called “The Funniest Guys in the World” then honked my Harpo horn and the crowd loved it. To quote the comic named
Banya on Seinfeld , “I killed Jerry, I killed. On the sad side, I don’t know if you heard that both Michael Mislove and Bill Saluga died earlier this year. I knew mike since Hofstra in 1958, and he was the glue that held the act together when Ron was being a pain and I was being, well, me. Be well and let’s meet for lunch
