Strange Mugfellows

Today my family celebrated three birthdays that occur around this time of year, mine being one of them. My son and daughter in law, along with a real gift, gave me a mug, which they got at the Vermont Country Store of all places, which bears the pictures of various Democrats.

Suffice to say, they gave the mug to me because they knew I’d get a laugh out of it. The mug does not say “Made in China” on it, but it’s hard to believe it was made here, and if it was, it can’t have been created by anyone who knows the slightest thing about what we Democrats are thinking about. You have to wonder how Bernie Sanders would feel if he knew he was right beneath Debbie Wasserman Schultz. But it isn’t only Debbie. What’s Chuck Shumer doing there? And while I have nothing against Loretta Lynch, is she really up there with Franklin Roosevelt? Of course, we’re lucky the names are printed underneath the caricatures, because while I think I’d recognize Eleanor, I’d have a tough time with Franklin, and I’d never get JFK.

I understand that there’s a Republican mug as well, but unfortunately, my son and daughter in law didn’t recall who was on it. We can only hope that Honest Abe was spared the humiliation of being on the same piece of pottery with the presumptive 2016 Republican nominee.
