No Shortage of Grinches

More Expected in 2022

You might want to put this list on your refrigerator so you are constantly reminded of those who would destroy the nation.

I can’t wait to find out who I will hate in 2022 but until that happens, I’ll offer this bit of glee to the following meanest, nastiest, most self-centered, unethical, greedy, merciless, mercenary, mingy, parsimonioius, miserly, rapacious , vile, nauseating, unpleasant, disgusting, distasteful, awful, dreadful, terrible, foul, abominable, frightful, loathsome, revolting, repulsive, odious, repugnant, horrendous, hideous, appalling, atrocious, offensive, objectionable, obnoxious, unpalatable, unsavory, unappetizing, off-putting, dirty, filthy, squalid , noxious, stinking, rank, rancid, fetid, malodorous, acrid, ghastly, horrid, gruesome, putrid, diabolical, yucky, sick-making, godawful, gross, stinky, beastly, grotty, whiffy, pongy, niffy, lousy, skanky, funky, mephitic, disgustful, miasmal, olid, bad and just plain icky, not to mention, filthy, unkind, unpleasant, unfriendly, rude, churlish, spiteful, malicious, mean, malevolent, surly, vindictive, cruel and finally, shitty, people of 2021.

So many to despise and so little time. There was no shortage of people to hate in 2021 but the first has to be the one and only, thank god, the man with the orange and bad hair, he who dodged the draft because of suspicious bone spurs, the man who never told the truth and never had a dog, trump.

Right behind the great and obnoxious wannabe dictator comes anyone named trump, Fox, Rudy Guiliani, One America News, COVID-19, climate change, Ghislaine Maxwell, Lauren Boebert, Ted Cruz, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, Andy Biggs, Scott Perry, Jeffrey Clark, Mark Meadows, Paul Gosar, Louie Gohmert, Mike Pence, Mo Brooks, Kayleigh McEnany, Stephen Miller, William P. Barr, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Dustin Stockton, Jennifer Lynn Lawrence, Pillow Guy, Josh Hawley, Devin Nunes, Matt Gaetz, Elise Stefanik, Scott Perry, Ronny Jackson. That is by no means an exhaustive list and I apologize to any I may have unintentionally left off.

Take a breath.

Here are the eight senators and 139 representatives who voted to overturn the 2020 election. They richly deserve any hostility you can muster. Many have already been mentioned in the naughty list for other reasons. Tommy Tuberville, Rick Scott, Roger Marshall, John Kennedy, Cindy Hyde-Smith, Josh Hawley, Ted Cruz, Cynthia Lummis, Robert B. Aderholt, Mo Brooks, Jerry Carl, Barry Moore, Gary Palmer, Mike Rogers, Andy Biggs, Paul Gosar, Debbie Lesko, David Schweikert, Rick Crawford, Ken Calvert, Mike Garcia, Darrell Issa, Doug LaMalfa, Kevin McCarthy, Devin Nunes, Jay Obernolte, Lauren Boebert, Doug Lamborn, Kat Cammack, Mario Diaz-Balart, Byron Donalds, Neal Dunn, Scott Franklin, Matt Gaetz, Carlos Gimenez, Brian Mast, Bill Posey, John Rutherford, Greg Steube, Daniel Webster, Rick Allen, Earl L. “Buddy” Carter, Andrew Clyde, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jody Hice, Barry Loudermilk, Russ Fulcher, Mike Bost, Mary Miller, Jim Baird, Jim Banks, Greg Pence, Jackie Walorski, Ron Estes, Jacob LaTurner, Tracey Mann, Harold Rogers, Garret Graves, Clay Higgins, Mike Johnson, Steve Scalise, Andy Harris, Jack Bergman, Lisa McClain, Tim Walberg, Michelle Fischbach, Jim Hagedorn, Michael Guest, Trent Kelly, Steven Palazzo, Sam Graves, Vicky Hartzler, Billy Long, Blaine Luetkemeyer, Jason Smith, Matt Rosendale, Dan Bishop, Ted Budd, Madison Cawthorn, Virginia Foxx, Richard Hudson, Gregory F. Murphy, David Rouzer, Jeff Van Drew, Yvette Herrell, Chris Jacobs, Nicole Malliotakis, Elise M. Stefanik, Lee Zeldin, Adrian Smith, Steve Chabot, Warren Davidson, Bob Gibbs, Bill Johnson, Jim Jordan, Stephanie Bice, Tom Cole, Kevin Hern, Frank Lucas, Markwayne Mullin, Cliff Bentz, John Joyce, Fred Keller, Mike Kelly, Daniel Meuser, Scott Perry, Guy Reschenthaler, Lloyd Smucker, Glenn Thompson, Jeff Duncan, Ralph Norman, Tom Rice, William Timmons, Joe Wilson, Tim Burchett, Scott DesJarlais, Chuck Fleischmann, Mark E. Green, Diana Harshbarger, David Kustoff, John Rose, Jodey Arrington, Brian Babin, Michael C. Burgess, John R. Carter, Michael Cloud, Pat Fallon, Louie Gohmert, Lance Gooden, Ronny Jackson, Troy Nehls, August Pfluger, Pete Sessions, Beth Van Duyne, Randy Weber, Roger Williams, Ron Wright, Burgess Owens, Chris Stewart, Ben Cline, Bob Good, Morgan Griffith, Robert J. Wittman, Carol Miller, Alexander X. Mooney, Scott Fitzgerald, and Tom Tiffany.

So to all of you who would act in such repulsive ways, I leave you with this, with gratitude to Theodor “Dr. Seuss” Geisel.

Lyrics

You’re a mean one

You really are a heel

You’re as cuddly as a cactus

You’re as charming as an eel

Mr. Grinch, you’re a bad banana

Mr. Grinch, with the greasy black peel

You’re a vile one

You got termites in your smile

You have all the tender sweetness

Of a seasick crocodile

Mr. Grinch

You’re a foul one

Friends you don’t have none

I wouldn’t touch you with a 39-and-a-half foot pole!

You’re a monster

Your heart’s an empty hole

You’re a goner

You got garlic in your soul

You got garlic in your soul

All them smiles homie

I turn up the frown

All them decorations

I tear em down

You can ask Max, I don’t play around

Ayo, eww

Who is this mean fellow

With his skin all green and his teeth all yellow? (Eww)

What you so mad for?

Halloween come around and we ain’t knockin’ at your door, mane

Mr. Grinch you’re a bad banana

You’re gonna spoil everybody with your bad attitude

(Spoil everybody)

Mr. Grinch

La-la-la-la

Who is this mean fellow

With his skin all green and his teeth all yellow?

(La-la-la-la)

What you so mad for?

Halloween come around and we ain’t knocking on your door

(La-la)

Bad banana.
