SPARKS BRIEF: When Life Gives You A Lemon Start A Podcast

 


Washington, D.C. – After an insult-driven, shrill performance by Attorney General Pam Bondi during a congressional hearing, MAGA loyalists have dubbed her their darling of scorched-earth politics. Aides are calling this “a bold pivot from gavel to growl.” 

The former Florida Attorney (Burn Book Barbie) has launched a new political podcast titled The Hour of Sour.It’s a weekly 60-minute citrus squeeze of grievances, grimaces, and government grumbling. Special guests rant and occasionally report that the Dow is over 50,000. They’re coached to fume about politics with the intensity of Trump denying his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein or the love of his White House gold drapes. 

Bondi blasts anyone who questions whether her loyalty lies with Trump or the American people. Her reply to a reporter questioning her after the Senate hearing about serving the country was, “I serve at the pleasure of the president. He chose me as the attorney general for his administrationMy job is to object, deflect, and redactIf Americans need someone to protect their legal rights, try Matlock. I hear she’s very popular.”

Producers describe the format as “crossfire without the cross.” Bondi seethes with an anger so hot it makes L.A. wildfires look like nuclear winter. 

Our reporters were given access to several upcoming episodes. Each episode begins with Bondi squeezing a lemon into a glass labeled “Bitter Truth.” She then delivers a monologue known as Pucker Up, in which she revisits the week’s headlines and asks, “Have you checked your 401(k)s?”

Her first guest is Senator Lindsey Graham, who rants about the gossip that he is gay. The 70-year-old confirmed bachelor claims it’s the liberal media and far-left Democrats who are spreading lies that he is an “old Southern sissy boy.”

During his Sour Grapes and Gripes segment, Bondi asks Graham if he wanted to comment on 2020 accusations that male sex workers knew him as “Lady G.”

“Pammy, you know I’m just a good ol’ boy from the South. If I were a pearl-clutching drag queen, I’d never use “Lady G." How very gauche. You’d be addressin’ me as 'Mistress Graham Cracker,'” the senator replied. 

Bondi said members of Trump’s cabinet often question Graham’s bromance with the president. “Whenever I’m meetin’ with the president, we’re discussing gold decorations for the Oval Office and reviewing carpet samples for the new, most fabulous ballroom in the world. Trump loves my manly, absolutely hetero decorating flair."

Graham goes on to rant about attacks on Trump and his involvement in the Epstein files. “I don’t believe any of the rumors about sex with underage girls. I wouldn’t have sex with girls at any age. That doesn’t make me gay; I'm just a good Southern Baptist who knows that the Dow is over 50,000 and fornicatin’ is a sin against my Lord Savior… bless his heart.” 

In another episode, Bondi invites Kristi Noem, U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, and Lauren Boebert, U.S. Congresswoman, to share their tart takes on left-wing lies and allegations. 

Noem, “ICE Barbie,” screams she’s tired of being accused of looking plastic with over-Botoxed skin, lip injections, cheek implants, and hair extensions. 

“They say I’ve got the 'Mar-a-Lago' face. That’s completely false. I’ve asked my best friend, Corey, if I appear to have had facial surgery. He’s been up close and told me everything looks as normal as possible. Let’s say it’s high-gloss prairie varnish,” Noem retorts. 

“How do you reply to accusations you’re not fit to head up homeland security and your relationship with Corey Lewandowski?” Bondi asks. 

“First of all, I want to start with Donald Trump being the best president since #45. Has anyone looked at the DOW? My god! The economy is at its strongest ever, and Congress is worried about ICE?”

Boebert agrees with Noem and said her gripe is being unjustly accused of unruly behavior while attending the musical Beetlejuice.

“According to fake news, I was making a disturbance during the show. I didn’t know it was a stay-in-your-seat event. My escort told me it was Beetlejuice in concert. After a few Red Bulls and vaping, I was ready to dance and sing. I’m known as the “Queen of Karaoke” in Windsor, CO.”

Boebert was seen on surveillance video sexually groping her companion. “My date had Altoids in his pants pocket, and I was trying to grab one,” she explains. “The left-wing media said I was sexually inappropriate during the show. I was feeling for mints during intermission. Many in the audience got up to get a snack. My snack was next to me, so I remained politely in my seat.” 

Boebert, a QAnon supporter, fumed that everyone was worried about where her hands were, but no one cares about the child sex trafficking amongst the Margherita pizzas or that JFK Jr. is hiding on Epstein’s island with Elvis and Michael Jackson. Also, she reports she’s got proof that Hillary Clinton lives in Area 51 and is an alien who wears a spacesuit pantsuit and spits acid like a Velociraptor.

At the conclusion of the podcast hour with the “Scream Queens of the Beltway,” the rowdy Republicans toast each other with Whiskey Sours and Limoncello while they review the stock market indicators: The Lipstick Effect, Hemline Index, and Men’s Underwear Index. 

Editor’s Note: Before the publication of this article, Trump said “you’re fired” to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem. Noem will be turning in her badge, cheek implants, lip fillers, and hair extensions before she takes on her new position as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas. She will be charged with tracking down and arresting such villains as Green Goblin, Doctor Doom, The Joker, Catwoman, Lex Luthor, and Stephen Miller. Sources say Stephen Miller has already begun practicing his villain laugh.

Waking Up in Vegas - Happy 2014!

Neither, Gary or I, are really gamblers, so we try to find other activities to occupy our time when visiting Vegas. We have visited Red Rock, Hoover Dam and Valley of Fire State Park on previous visits. We had even traveled as far as Zion National Park in Utah, during an earlier stay. There are definitely natural beauties to discover while in Nevada, and they have nothing to do with showgirls or stripper poles. This visit was about relaxation and ringing in the New Year, so we didn’t need to stray far from Vegas this time. We bought tickets for a concert featuring Kristin Chenoweth. She is a very talented singer and actress best known from Broadway shows, movies, and multiple guest appearances on GLEE. The concert was on New Year’s Eve at the newly built Smith Center. Although she is about three feet tall, Kristin has a powerhouse voice. She sang songs from her career and, of course, sang one of my favorites “For Good” from WICKED. It was a great way to ...

Mental Health - Destroy the Stigma

I believe that I am a fearless writer. I share my personal experiences, thoughts and beliefs. I’ve not been afraid to express my emotions. Self-expression is fundamental to writing. I am a man of my words Recently, I became concerned that my blogs about depression and mental health might shape my reader’s opinions of me in a negative way.   The more I thought about it, I realized that I had internalized the stigma that surrounds mental health. Stigma is defined as “a mark of disgrace or infamy.” The word bears a negative connotation and it devalues the person to whom the stigma is applied. While the conversation about mental health is receiving a larger forum, damaging misconceptions are widespread. According to surveys, there are between 42.5-46 million adults in the US that have some type of mental illness.   Statistics show that one in four adults experience mental illness in a given year. These numbers of individuals are all impacted in some manner b...

Summer Adventures Part 2 – The Backyard Backlot to Broadway

  My childhood summers weren’t all the glitz and glamor of vacationing with cousins, wobbly shopping carts and bloody feet. Actually, most of my summer days were spent right at home in my yard. My parents never took a vacation. Our family never packed its bags and took off for other ports of call.   I never boarded a plane, a boat, or a train for a family adventure. My adventures were self-created. They were products of an imaginative mind that could travel to the moon, ride the rapids in the Amazon Jungle and lead a battle for the Knights of the Round Table, all before a lunch of Spaghettios with a side of Hawaiian Punch . I have always loved going to the movies. This helped provide the inspiration to my over active mind. The Saturday afternoon matinee was a childhood staple for me. The smell of fresh popcorn as you entered the lobby and the crisp cold air of the air-conditioned theater helped set the atmosphere on those hot, summer afternoons. I would get lost in the d...

Depression, Drugs & DNA

When diagnosed with Clinical Depression, my doctor recommended medication to help the illness. The art of medication management can challenge professionals who need to find the right drug and dosage that will be effective for treatment. It’s frustrating for patients combating the effects of depression when their medication doesn’t quite alleviate the symptoms. Part of this cocktail of drugs can also cause intolerable side effects ·       Sleepiness ·       Insomnia ·       Dizziness ·       Weight Gain ·       Headaches ·       Increased Anxiety ·       Sexual Problems ·       Nausea The feeling of hopelessness and frustration is just compounded when you’re waiting for relief that never really arrives. There are so many drugs available...

Communication - The Art of Words

I read a posting, a few weeks ago, that the song “Enjoy the Silence” by Depeche Mode was celebrating its 25 th anniversary. The song, released in 1990, speaks of how you can be beyond words. It relays the message that there are times when words can’t describe feelings or emotions and seem inconsequential. I do understand when people say that something is “indescribable.” We all have moments when we just want silence and time to appreciate the world beyond words.   A feeling or an emotion can be hard to verbalize at times, but are we ever beyond words? We have to realize that if we want a space of non-communication we have to communicate that. We can’t “Enjoy the Silence” unless we can tell everyone we want silence.   For people to know we are at a loss for words, we have to tell them that. Everything we say and do lies in communication. We could not function as a community or a society without it. We don’t stop to contemplate that our whole world is cr...
