I must admit to some joy in watching U.S. House Republicans stumble over themselves trying to nominate a speaker of their legislative body.<\/p>\n

GOP leader Kevin McCarthy failed three times to get the required 218 votes to win election as speaker. He is being stymied by the right-wing nutjob caucus within the Republican conference. They think he’s too accommodating to Democrats. That makes me laugh out loud.<\/p>\n

I don’t know who will emerge from the tumult in the House. It doesn’t matter too much to me at this point. My mind is occupied with more pressing concerns closer to home … such as the health challenge facing my bride.<\/p>\n

I just had to take a moment to chuckle, snort and giggle at the sight of congressional Republicans try to find someone to lead the body.<\/p>\n

Now I will turn back to the thing that matters more than anything else on Planet Earth: my bride’s well-being.<\/p>\n
