_{Wizard of Oz (1939)}

Miss Gulch has been lost in the shuffle of the smack down of Trump amidst the birth certificate production that will not lower gas and heating oil prices, trillions in debt or the unemployment rate. Miss Gulch did not get invited to the royal wedding and no wonder. She's an old witch with a bad, outdated hat and I bet she goes to church every Sunday instead of just for royal weddings. If nothing else, she needs to be shot for being a Christian.

Why was bin Laden the only one shot in the head when Miss Gulch would have made a much better target? Osama has gotten way more press time dead and buried at sea than he has since 9/11. People were singing the ding dong witch song for Osama but not for Miss Gulch.

Why aren't people singing about Miss Gulch or wondering about what happened to Miss Gulch since the big EF4 tornado passed through Alabama where Miss Gulch now resides after escaping that young, beautiful Dorothy girl who killed the bad witch. Poor Miss Gulch is the perfect hated figure for a target. She is not married yet she is way past marrying age. She is an ugly, old spinster who doesn't have the decency to use botox or even attempt to wear something more fashionable and she still rides a bike instead of driving a car.

If she had a new GM car, maybe she could get some more attention. Back at the end of last April, the president went and visited the tornado devastated area in Alabama and said,

“I’ve never seen devastation like this,” Pausing amid rubble on 25th Avenue in Alberta, a somber president pledged “maximum federal help” to the victims. “We are going to do everything we can.”

Somewhere along the way, with all the excitement over bin Laden, Trump, royal weddings, birth certificates, and our own grappling with reality and delusion, we have forgotten Miss Gulch - but is it any wonder? If nothing else, she lives in the south. Who cares about white, bible thumping people in the south anyway? They are the reason for all our problems. We hate these people, don't we?

We can ignore them for weeks. No one will notice. The best part is that these people are isolated in a rural area with no provisions, services or way of communicating with the outside world. We may not hear from them for months or years. Maybe we can sweep all that rubble under our great American rug. Yeah, sure, our rug is getting kind of lumpy and bumpy but if we pretend those people aren't there and give them no media attention, are they really there suffering amidst the rubble waiting for help? And who should care about ugly, old white spinsters with no fashion sense that live in rural America? Miss Gulch is better off dead.
