New Joe Lieberman Mascot Supports More Than the Troops

+++

(Jivester News, Lmtd.) In what major, major media pundits are describing as "a spelling change" Senator Joeseph Lieberman has declared his intention to run as a "Dependent" should he lose Connecticut's Democratic primary in August. Lieberman had previously threatened to run as Yoda of the Visigoths or Droopy Among the War Mongers before settling on the Dependent Party. Asked what the change would mean in terms of his candidacy, Joe made a bowel-movement sound and quickly blamed it on his opponent, Ned Lamont.

No further information was made available. Nor should it be.

Last Add--File this under Random Acts of Synchronicity: Actress and spokesperson for Depends Adult Diapers June Allyson has died at the age of 88. I was going to make a joke about Lieberman honoring her by wearing his Dependents at half-mast, but decided against it. +++

Good reading! Favorite quote: What could go wrong?
Beyond war, inflation, the end of the technology/productivity wave, and financial collapse, we think the most potent and short-term threat would be societies demanding a more ‘equitable’ share of wealth.
