There are a seemingly endless number of memes on the reflecting pool disaster. Readers are welcome to provide links to their favorites in the Comments. I thought this one posted by Sarah Dahlinger on Facebook was nicely done.
I've seen a lot of brilliantly made craft cocktails dedicated to the Reflecting Pool this past weekend, and I thought, something was missing. Something wasn't right.They didn't quite capture the level of class and sophistication that our Reflecting Pool currently has, so here's my version.To start, line your glass with a blue fruit roll up. Then you're going to need:2 oz rum4 oz juice that is kinda yellow (pineapple, mango, orange, lemonade, whatever you like)1 oz blue curacao (you can adjust for color)Garnish with lime zestThe yellow and blue liquids make a lovely shade of algae and the rum eventually melts the blue fruit roll up, which is, IMHO, the best part.
Dummy Drump's fiasco!! I love it!

*latest fiasco
DeleteIt sounds perfectly disgusting.
ReplyDeleteTruly a fitting tribute.
I think it is somewhat disgraceful to use this as a means to belittle President Trump. Does anyone think that his interest was not to beautiful the pool? If he did it to gain some credit, what other politician wouldn't do the same?
ReplyDeleteI would think that we would be obedient to the better angels of our nature to let out some sort of sigh as in "nice try, but I'm sorry it didn't turn out well."
Do we really hate Donald Trump so badly that we celebrate any failure associated with him? I dare say that if President Obama had had similar results in an attempt to beautify the pool, we'd rightly feel a bit badly about the matter.
And, really, what's so deeply wrong with Trump remodeling the White House by building a very useful new wing?
I left the Republican Party because of the hateful way my fellow party members treated Obama. I thought it was disgraceful to revel in every perceived failure. I feel no different about the way Democrats and liberals act about the pool.
You can rightly jeer Trump's political and personal foibles...but, c'mon, an attempt to better things? No. Just no.
