Cruella De Ville, Revisited.

I've decided that this whole "sequestering in place" thing is just not working.

Oh sure, laying low for a couple of weeks so that we could "flatten the curve" was a doable deal.  And we did it.  You and me.  Americans will always rise to the occasion.

So long as the occasion is a good one.

But somehow, someway, 15 days of "sequestering in place" morphed from "flattening the curve" into "testing everyone, everywhere, all of the time, and then finding a vaccine, whenever THAT might happen, and then administering it to everyone in America.  Twice."*

But only in our "blue" states.  Not the "red" ones.  Just the ones which are owned and operated by Democrat governors and legislatures.  The ones that make up stupid, dumbass rules that their citizens find intolerable.  And unfollow-able.  

Like Michigan's governor Whitmer, for example.  She does the very best Cruella De Ville impression I've ever seen!  She says a canoe or rowboat's just fine, but a motorboat shall not be tolerated!  And if you're a barber, don't cut that hair!  You'll lose your license!  And one of her 77 year-old barbers just did!  Except her own judiciary slapped her hand and reopened this barber's shop!  Good for him!  A pox on her!  

Imagine being so consumed with gaining...and keeping...power that you terrorize an old barber who's just trying to keep from starving.  

Michiganders can buy cigarettes and lotto tix and maryjowanna, doncha' know, but cannot buy paint, or tools, or carpet, or seeds.  Yeah, stupid, dumbass rules.

So Michiganders are "up to here" with the antics of their power-mad guv.  Who, BTW, just extended her state's lockdown for the fifth time, all the way out to June 12th.  And so are the victims, er, citizens of WA, and CA, and NJ, and NY, and MD, and IL, and CO, and so many other deep "blue" states.  22 of them, to be exact.  Oregon's Governor Kate Brown, for example, tells her "prisoners" that she's ordered her highway patrol to check the license plate numbers of those citizens trying to shop in another, "open" county, and then jailing them for trying.  Are you sh**ing me?  

"Whatcha' in for, buddy?  Shopping in an "open" county..."   

And the used-to-be Golden State has plenty of dumbass rules as well.  Lost Angeles' Mayor Garcetti has issued an edict informing his captives that they can finally return to the beaches.  Excepppppt, they may not walk on the "dry" part of the sand.  Only the "wet" parts.  And they must walk.  No running, or jogging, or swimming.  Do not go in the water!  And be sure not to sit or lay down or do any of that "sunning" thing.  In other words, "No Fun For You!"

So 22 of our 50 states are run by governors who think your getting a haircut is tantamount to willfully spreading the Chinese Virus and attempting to murder your fellow citizens.  That going out to a bar for a drink means you want to kill all your friends and neighbors.  Such horses*it!  And the residents of those 22 states are sick and soooo very tired of waiting for their Democrat guvs to loosen the traces.  To open up their states so they can resume a normal life; going back to work, going to a movie, going on vacation.  Like that...

And just to make things Orwellian to the max, the commie pinko governors are releasing hardened felons out the back door of their jails and welcoming barbers and hair stylists and gym owners through the front.  Sexual predators, armed robbers, burglars, drug peddlers, and other miscreants are being released from jails across the fruited plain due to the same virus that causes "blue" state governors to want to lock up their ordinary citizens.  Huh?

Let me restate that so there's no misunderstanding:  "Blue state governors have released more than 67,000 hardened felons from jails nationwide** because...ummm...they might catch the dreaded "Coronavirus."  And they're doing that while threatening ordinary citizens, barbers and stylists and restauranteurs, just trying to work or play or pray, with jail!

Cruella De Ville only wanted to make a coat out of dalmations.  These governors want to make their citizens homeless paupers...

I'm truly happy that most of our governors never have the need or get the chance to show their leadership qualities.  That's because we seldom have a National Crisis, thankfully.  And that's because from what we've seen recently, most of them seem to be fresh out...

*    NOTE:  The Chinese Killer Coronavirus (COVID-19), and the MERS virus, and the SARS virus, and the H1N1 Swine Flu are all Coronaviruses.  And so is the Common Cold.  And we still do not have a vaccine for any of them!
