How Many Aspirin Needed for a Patriot Headache?

         Mad Vlad of Kremlin fame has consulted with his medical support staff on duty 24/7 in the basement of the Kremlin. His military advisors told him(after they smoked a few doobies) that the US announced they would be sending a Patriot missile system to Volodymir Zelensky to thwart air attacks by the Russyan air forces. They told him these defense systems are deadly against all types of Russyan arms. This could raise the cost of the faltering war that Mad Vlad ordered in February, 2022.

     He was also told he has about 6 months of grace because the US will train Ukrainian forces in Germany during the time before deployment of the missiles. Vovo then asked for the aspirin tablets which he seems to need more and more of everyday. His liver and kidneys are yelling "Enough", but he isn't listening. His partner said, "Stay in the Kremlin until this is over; who needs a grouch at home? Besides, you have faucets that provide vodka in your office. Drink all you want but don't come home expecting sympathy. You started this mess, not us, not the West, not Ukraine. You did, Putz."

      So, deeper into his holiday funk he goes. It is common knowledge that many folks around the world get depressed during the holiday season for a variety of reason. The French footballers are depressed because they were beaten in the World Cup Final by rivals from South America(no names mentioned to cause more depression). Some Europeans are depressed because the price of fuel is going up by the day because of Russyan greed and price manipulation. Jews in Israel are depressed(some) because Bibi is back. The Chinese are depressed because Covid is starting a rampage through the population and very few of folks over 60 have been vaccinated and they will die. Dictator Xi is depressed because his slaves are depressed. Jimmy Lai is depressed because he was just sentenced to 7 years for being disloyal to a bunch of Commies in Beijing. Sam Bankman -Fried is depressed because he's in jail awaiting extradition to the US to face charges of widespread fraud. His parents, Joseph Bankman and Mrs. Fried are depressed because they gave their son their names which will join a Mr. Ponzi as architects of large schemes to defraud. Wells Fargo Bank is depressed because the bank was fined $3.7 billion for stealing from their own customers and got caught(not enough, really, despite being the largest ever).

     The list goes on and on, but this is part of the human condition. depression, also known as unhappiness with the situation. Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin is facing a very long winter this year and next. How sad! Maybe he'll find relief in a bottle of aspirin; perhaps not. When the Patriot missiles start their work, Mad Vlad will get even more depressed. Watch for it.

Happy Holidays,

The Mayor
