Where Have You Gone, O Pinocchio

   ~ Reminiscent of 'Where have you gone, 
       Joe Dimaggio,' from the soundtrack
          of the movie, 'The Graduate.' ~


     Where have you gone, O Pinocchio
        a nation turns its aching heart to you
           Fi-fie-phoo…

     Though you became a donkey
        wooden head, check out Mamdani
          ~  He’s the stubborn mule

creative and clever....appreciate the political satire. Mamdani is scary...he's definitely stubborness personified.

Mamdani will either be the death of the Democrats --- or the beginning of the rise of pure evil in American politics. Hope it's the former.

Gershon, if all the politicians were "Pinocchio's" their noses would rival the Red Wood forests....
