“Step into my parlor….

said the spider to the fly.”

- Hi, Michelle.

-Hi, Barack. How are you?

- Speak a little louder, honey, I can’t hear you. Speak directly into the phone. This plate glass is pretty thick, you know.

- Is this better?

- Yes. What’s up?

- I can’t believe they threw you in prison for signing your name to invoke the 14th Amendment to raise the debt ceiling. I just can’t believe it, Barack, I just can’t believe it. Why did you listen to them? Did you talk to Colin?

- Clyburn, Reid, Clinton, all of them told me it would be alright.

- Yes they did and before the ink was dry, McConnell and King started impeachment proceedings. They had you arrested, carried out of the Oval Office in handcuffs!

-Well, there is always the Supreme Court with Roberts and Thomas. I’m waiting to hear what they have to say. Have you heard anything yet? Michelle? Michelle??

- (This man is impossible!)

As always,
BB
