To the Editor:
Friendly limousine driver Lloyd Christmas, stomach aflutter and confusing genders, asks beautiful socialite Mary Swanson, “What do you think the chances are of a guy like you and a girl like me ending up together?”
“Not good,” Mary softly responds.
“Not good like one out of a hundred?” Lloyd asks.
“I’d say more like one out of a million.”
Lloyd processes Mary’s answer before shouting with glee, “So you’re telling me there’s a chance!”
Back in what I’m not so sure is the real world, during this past 4th of July weekend on the St. Lawrence River in Alexandria Bay and waterways around the nation, boaters paraded in groups flaunting Trump flags and banners. You wouldn’t think Trump flotillas would bring to mind comedy classic Dumb and Dumber, but they do. Lloyd Christmas, like millions of similarly cerebral but far less lovable MAGA Americans, cannot face reality. Mary Swanson, despite her friendly demeanor, does not love Lloyd Christmas. And America, despite its countless MAGA flags, does not love Donald Trump.
