Selection Fail COULD Be The Plan Says Yuni D

 

"Banner Day" by Herr D. Perhaps leaders, like heroes, should be selected carefully.-Shelob

[stops dinner break / solitaire, receives phone call, opens poorly-written in-house editing software resembling ancient version of Volkswriter and Wordperfect] Shelob? Here.

[agitation under laptop suggesting startle reflex] are you getting faster?  Yuni D had just called. Your pulse had just risen. Consider this high alert.

[short pause] How do you know my pulse rate? You have a health app installed on your phone.

[pause] Did you have a blog topic?

[laughter heard on microphone] Well, see if I can surprise YOU. Yes. She called me because in her Civics class, a student was explaining that Kevin McCarthy keeps running for Speaker. She said no one knows why but kept laughing. She finds it funny that the Speaker is unselected?

No. She knew why KM is content to just get voted down repeatedly. Why?

All he has to do is just keep getting voted down. Eventually out of desperation he may be given it. Otherwise, he may just not have to do any work AT ALL for the rest of his term. He'll get full pay. He might even get re-elected. He MIGHT make it possible for any House member to end the career of a Speaker. They can deadlock the House. How did she know this?

She's a student. She'd LOVE to not  do homework and still get all 'A's. And have her parents be grateful to her. His parents would be grateful?

Uh-no. Following the metaphor, he'd tell his base that he was 'prevented' from doing well. He might make it impossible for a few things Biden might have gotten done. It does appear McCarthy has a motivation for losing continuously. Thank you. [exits to publish]
