Political Shenanigans Expected

A. Unabashed Pacifist:

If peace is a 10, why settle for a 1?

B. Unabashed Christian:

Holy One,

Public adulation leads to public execution.
The public can be fickle.
The public will deny you, misrepresent you, and, when it suits them, try to bury you.
But you are very much alive, no matter what the public thinks.
Amen

C. Un-quoting Jesus:

“Going once, going twice, sold for 30 denarii – the burial shroud of King David!”



[No, this was not how He financed the last supper…]

“Shenanigans”
[from Wikipedia]



A shenanigan is a deceitful confidence trick, or mischief causing discomfort or annoyance. The term is usually used in the plural, shenanigans. However, in some regions, shenanigans can merely refer to harmless mischievous play, especially by children involving broomsticks. It should be noted that the word itself is considered humorous, because of its unique sound.
The origin of the word is unknown but possibly originates from the Irish sionnachuighim, meaning "I play the fox."
