The Whiter House

 

 

I have refrained from commenting on the cocaine found in the White House. Since I didn’t have anything else planned to write, now seems like a good time to finally address this most pressing issue. It seems to me that most pundits are missing the obvious. 

 

There are lots of ways politicians can seem out of touch. But it’s 2023 and someone in the White House had cocaine. Not opioids, not cannabis, not even fentanyl. You’d be forgiven for thinking we’re living amid the sweaty days of disco. Hell, I’d be okay with the early nineties, as the tech bubble was enlarging to a precariously fragile size.

 

We have other things to ingest and inject. The White House should be leading from a position of authority, not harking back to what was trendy forty years ago. The only explanation I’ll accept is a lost time traveler got bored during the 4^th of July festivities. Anything else says more about us as a country and a culture than most are willing to admit. 

Though it is called the White House for a reason.
