Who's On First.......

Many years ago I remember seeing a TV show with Abbot and Costello (comedians). They did a baseball routine/conversation and continued to confuse one another while the audience laughed and laughed. It included the following:

"....on the St. Louis team we have Who's on first, What's on second, I Don't Know is on third..." The two comedians went back and forth with their questions and non-sensical answers and it got funnier and funnier. Look for it on Youtube if you've never seen it.

It's 2:10 p.m. and I just saw the following story pop up on my internet feed:

"White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci has been removed from his position after just 11 days on the job, according to multiple reports.
Scaramucci accepted the position on July 21, shortly after the abrupt departure of White House press secretary Sean Spicer. He made headlines less than a week after assuming the post with a profane interview with The New Yorker in which he insulted members of the White House staff, including now former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus.
Priebus left his role suddenly on Friday, and was replaced Monday morning by retired four-star general John Kelly, who had been serving as Trump’s secretary of homeland security.
“Anthony Scaramucci will be leaving his role as White House Communications Director,” said White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders in a statement. “Mr. Scaramucci felt it was best to give Chief of Staff John Kelly a clean slate and the ability to build his own team.  We wish him all the best.”
The New York Times reported that Scaramucci’s removal came at Kelly’s request. While Scaramucci reported directly to the president, the communications director traditionally reports to the White House chief of staff and the arrangement with Scaramucci was a break with protocol.
This is a breaking story … please come back for updates …"

My head is spinning......only this isn't funny....at all. North Korea now has an ICBM that can reach Chicago, the ACA is still under attack instead of being fixed, The Boy Scouts of America are still being criticized for 45's "campaign" speech at their rally, our Country is being "led" by a boy-man who says he could "shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and not lose any voters" and as for women..."just grab them by the pussy". 

If I believed in the Bible I might be saying this is the beginning of the end of times........

It isn't funny, it's terrifying......who's at the helm??? Who is steering the Ship Of State? How on earth does Sarah Huckabee Sanders come out and address the press corp with a straight face?

I am sitting here laughing.....it's not funny....but what else can you do??? Who's on first?
