[Note: A reader suggested that we reprint a column written by Art Buchwald circa October, 1972. The gist of it was that President Nixon had uncovered a massive plot to steal his Presidency; millions of people were expected to rise up against him on November 4th…. We were unable to locate that treasure, but found the following one in the Congressional Record. It seems equally relevant. – The Ed.] Mr. Blumenthal: Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that [this] column be printed in the Record. There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in the Record, as follows: “Here Are Handy Excuses …

To the Editor: Millions of Americans had their unemployment checks cut off because President Trump left town without signing or even vetoing Congress’s bill to fund the government and provide pandemic relief funds. He paid no interest in the bill the whole time Congress was haggling over its contents. He left it to Treasury Secretary Mnuchin to represent the White House.

[The following is an open letter, pruned somewhat by the alleged editor. In order to better preserve the author’s voice, and to forestall a likely rebellion from the 100 Proof Department, it has not been proofread. – The Ed.] Mr. President: …I Sir am but “A Poor Dumb Yankee Fool,” who is married to “A Vivacious Southern Belle!” I am also a man who trusts in the integrity of the human soul and “Our American Ideology!” So if that makes me bad, then so be it, as I will just have live with that! When however, small elements of my own government let their own …
