Uncle Sam’s retreat

Muckraker is not in the business of proffering unsolicited advice. But there are times when she has to throw in her two cents. Not that it will be heeded. No. She does it for posterity.

Uncle Sam should seriously consider taking a seven-day retreat atop Thabana Ntlenyana.

There are three reasons for this. The first is that he needs time away from some bootlickers and groupies already trying to influence his cabinet appointments.

Some are unashamedly threatening to drown Uncle Sam in their saliva.

The man is already dragged in spit but the tongues keep coming.

The second is that some good-for-nothing functionaries are already jostling to camp in his ears. You can see them on social media, emitting utter nonsense in the name of advice.

People who cannot think their way out of a matchbox are now flogging themselves as experts in governance.

The same people who have appropriated failure as their middle name are pretending to have discovered the key to a successful government.

The third reason is that there are lots of dunderheads trying to rent out their shallow minds to Uncle Sam. Brains that are old and overused are being hawked to Uncle Sam.

Why is Muckraker saying this?

Well, there is a reason why Mokhothu ended up with that radio charlatan as an adviser.

The Rastafarian who eats meat was allowed to set up his shack in Mokhothu’s ear.

We all know that it ended in tears.

Nka! Ichuuuuuuuuuuu!
