Will you pardon me?

Well, alrighty then—today’s earworm is in honor of our brave National Guard troops deployed to our nation’s capital to tamp down crime against DOGiE bros. Those champions of freedom, whom our drunken sot of a SECDEF is pleased to term warfighters. Who bravely strap on cammies and Kevlar to…pick up trash and spread mulch, just to keep them away from the Krispy Kreme.

I really like that reflective vest over their tactical kit look. Very “community service in lieu of jail time” vibe.

(Not that picking up trash and tending the plants aren't important work, and it's good that someone is doing it, since the DOGiEs fired most of the National Park Service staff whose job that was. It's just that this doesn't seem to be in line with the administration's testosterone-heavy view of the military's role in the world.)

Anyway—what else could it be today but “Tiptoe through the Tulips”, with that über macho manly man, Tiny Tim. Here he is on the Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In show.
