     It's true that these are times of great trial, that every day in our country seems like just another daily episode of "The Donald Trump Theater of the Absurd, Dangerous, and Cruel," and that even after all these months since their ascendancy one can still scarcely wrap one's brain around the fact that in the United  States of America the seats of power are occupied by these penny dreadfuls.

     But  if there's one bright side amidst the gloom, it's that from these inauspicious times has arisen in our country a veritable Golden Age of Political Satire, nor should this be surprising; for when in this country, since Sarah Palin,

...have comedians been gifted with such a mother lode of material?
     And, in truth,  our comedians help us through times such as these.

     Since becoming a fan of the Trump-based musical comedy of The Bald Piano Guy (see post from 7/15/2017),

     I've more recently discovered the cheering effects of another gem of a musical political satirist who's come into his own with the rise of Trump:
     Randy Rainbow.

     Randy Rainbow - that's his real name (his father was a musician named Gerry Rainbow) - is a YouTube comedian, actor, singer and writer who makes the most hilarious videos, usually with himself starring as a newscaster with a gay persona who breaks into song - in the clearest, smoothest, most golden-voiced  tenor - while covering the Trump White House.

     In fact, why Randy Rainbow is singing on Youtube  instead of Broadway is a mystery; but it's our gain, because his parodies of Broadway and pop tunes are not only hilarious, but smart, sharp and hit their target dead-center.
      There are dozens of Randy Rainbow videos, but here are the links to a few of them:     

"DACA Shame"

      So if you need a good laugh to get you through these times, go ahead and check out Randy Rainbow with the warning that after one video you may become immediately hooked. Still, if you do that's okay - there are  plenty more of his terrifically funny videos to be seen on Youtube.

    I will be hosting the Your Book My Book Authors & Wiɇnṋers Open Mic/Book Signing at Dirty Frank's, 2836 W. Broad St, Columbus, OH, on September 24, 2017 from 11am - 1pm.
    Come meet the local authors,
