“You know, grass has a lifetime 

like people have a lifetime, 

and the lifetime of this grass 

has long been gone. 

When you look at the parks 

where the grass is all tired, 

exhausted. 

We're going to redo the grass 

with the finest grasses. 

I know a lot about grass.

I own a lot of golf courses. 

If you don't have good grass, 

you aren't in business 

very long.”

So sayeth the Lord.

Amen.

DOGE ORDER—LAST ONE OUT

by John Stickney

Will the last immigrant out
please sweep their cage
and turn out the lights
(another 1 Billion in savings!)
on their way to 
their rendition flight

Please think 
of the children 
expecting 
a clean 
and
empty cage
