News Update! The Donkeys and Elephants are ascending on Washington, D.C. "This is embarrassing," they say. "We both want our good names back."

When asked for alternatives to the Donkeys and Elephants and their reasons for being upset, one thoughtful bull replied, "What is good for the goose, should also be good for the gander."

"Are you suggesting," one curious reporter asked, "that party names should be changed to the Goose Party and the Gander Party?"

"Yes, I suppose I am." He answered.

JUST IN! We have now received news that a large group of geese and gander have made an unexpected stop from their usual migrating schedules to protest the donkeys and the elephants. When asked what they think might be a better choice, one angry gander shouted, "The People's (Republic) Party!"

To which one puzzled reporter responded, "That sounds familiar!" "I wonder where I have heard that before ..."

"DUH," said the donkeys, elephants, geese and gander all in unison and shaking their heads they all left the thoughtful reporter to figure it out on his own.

I am a registered Republican because I still find more common ground with their way of thinking. I simply cannot comprehend much of the Democrat party's agenda. We all have a right to choose though which way we will go. I pray that this right will remain constant and not be taken from us, that both sides will see cancel culture as it is, destructive and harmful to all. It will only take us off the deep end into some very troubled waters. If we think that cancel culture is an option, we will soon cancel each other right out of here and there are those who are waiting and hoping for that very result.
