To close out this unprecedented 2020 Election Circuit prelude, let us enjoy a mental (if not spiritual) amuse bouche. Taken from the elegant French, we have per Wikipedia:
An amuse-bouche is a single, bite-sized hors d’œuvre. Amuse-bouches are different from appetizers in that they are not ordered from a menu by patrons but are served free and according to the chef’s selection alone. These are served both to prepare the guest for the meal and to offer a glimpse of the chef’s style.
So, to be precise, we have a single bite, chef chosen, free preliminary, not subject to annoying individual requests like extra mayo, dressing on the side, no tomatoes, and other Trumpian inspired special requests for his True Believers. No extra Trafalgar, Rasmussen in very limited quantities, etc.
Originally, it might have been a simple plate of olives. One of God’s miracle foods; Greek, Italian, Turkish, Spanish, French, Lebanese, and Jordanian. Do your heart and constitution a favor, enjoy and indulge.
How’s our Boy Trump.45 Doing? What is the overnight reaction to his latest antics, as he careens to a reckoning of some sort, even if it takes a day or two (or even 7-10) to count all those ballots.
Lord, spare us a rerun of 2000’s Brooks Brothers Florida rubbish chads, but we are all better prepared to defend against Trump’s ginned up phony troublemaking. The best defense is plain and simple: make sure you VOTE. Simple, just VOTE. Make sure you Vote.
There are no shenanigans in the world that Trump or the Russian gremlins can come up with in the face of a turnout of 150 million American voters in 2020. That’s a Voter Tsunami. That’s a Good Thing. And if you have been paying attention: America Votes, America Wins. That’s why desperados are doing everything they can to decrease, slow down, and not count legitimate American Votes.
GO VOTE, Damn It!
Hey YOU! Did You Vote Yet? Why the Hell Not?
Are you waiting for a Golden Invitation?
Thanks to good, hardworking Folks at RealClear Politics, and their poll aggregators, here goes:

Trump Biden Contests: 4
Trump mini-blows it again nationally: Zero for One. State-wise he comes up rather par-like, with a win in Missouri, up by 6, and North of 50%. Senate 1 for 2 for the Red Team: win in Michigan, but polluted by its Trafalgar aqueous source.
After a week of close inspection, here are the Week’s Batting Results for Team Red.
As any casual baseball fan can tell you, when your Superstar Hitters (Trump & the Red Senate All Stars) are going respectively 0.167 and 0.179 at the Plate during the Playoffs, your Team is in a Major League World of Hurt. An average below 0.200 will get you benched or traded. Certainly, you can kiss that 4-Year Golden Contract Extension bye-bye.
But wait, there are still two more weeks to go. Who knows? Mighty Trumpy still has a couple at-bats left, before the Poet reads him out for good.
Somethin’ is definitely a coming, Lord, Lord!
Adapted from the words of Leroy Robert Satchel Paige, arguably the best pitcher ever in the history of Major League Baseball. A right-handed, fire-balling Son of the South. An American icon. Paige advised:
VOTE America!
Time to cleanse your palate. One of my favorites is Orange Sorbet. I liked it lots before Trump burst on the scene
