To paraphrase the character Sid Hudgens (Danny Devito) in L.A. Confidential on the out of his league G-Man, Gym Jordan.
"You came to Washington, DC, without a suit jacket, but with stars in your eyes, hoping to bring back bacon to your district, while covering-up your ineptitude in the sexual scandal under your watch as coach on The Ohio State Wrestling Team.
Then there was the temptation for power always shining in DC and the stench of Trump goes on even he's out of office as long as you hold up your end of the bargin.
There are scams aplenty and pols like you can be bought on the cheap. Every ReTrumplican't can get NRA, Koch, and Billionaire money to ensure re-election.
All you and your cohorts need to do is throw up dust and block meaningful legislation.
You can have all this, Gym...and who knows, you could prove you're not a nimrod and become a star to 25% of the U.S. population.
Life is good in the Capital, it's considered paradise for power-hungry hopheads like you
Hahahahaha...at least that's what the powerful puppetmasters tell you."
Now this is nice. I think someone glossed over the fact that Mr. Manriquez must be extraordinarily gifted. I know people who’ve been painting for years that don’t command any sort of money for what they do, trained art school painters. Anyway, good for him and thanks for this newsletter.

What a delightful break from the usually dark and ominous things we've come to dread from Capitol Hill! Thanks, Joe, and thanks to Pablo Manriquez! I wish him great success!
Ego economy, for sure. LOL
Joe,
