It all began with a Tweet about Vice President Kamala Harris’s sartorial choices during the State of the Union address
Conservative commentator Amber Athey tweeted the following:
"Kamala looks like a UPS employee — what can brown do for you? Nothing good, apparently."

Ought we ask Willie Brown if Heels-up Harris can make packages come on time?
I have to admit, I have used the word defenestration on occasion, assuming that I had divined the meaning of the word from it’s use, but last night, I looked it up for the first time...it says:
********************************
defenestration noun
de·fen·es·tra·tion | \ (ˌ)dē-ˌfe-nə-ˈstrā-shən
Definition of defenestration
1: a throwing of a person or thing out of a window
assassination by defenestration
2: a usually swift dismissal or expulsion (as from a political party or office)
the defenestration of political leaders
the mass defenestration of middle management
********************************
Now, I must say...I found that most interesting, given how I had been using it. I was absolutely correct in my usage over time, but...it added a whole new dimension to my usage!
For the opposite, the definition of Fenestration is filling a hole in a wall, usually by installing a window.
Example: We need a defenestration of the RINOs in the Republican Party.
Defenestration, from the French for window, is a very appropriate use of the word in this case. I believe her lawyers might have an interesting time pursuing this.
We need to Czech with some historical experts to learn how to defenestrate our RINOs.
Fascinating! That is cool.
“Honey, you should have been more careful moving your exercise bike…now I have to do a Fenestration in the hallway.”
“ If you do anything like that in this house, you’re gonna find yourself out on the sidewalk with all your clothes… “
LOL
Hahahahahaha!
It is verboten to make fun of our esteemed Vice President, or Democrats in general. Penalties for violation of these rules are swift and severe.
Somebody has said that you know who is in charge, or who rules over you, if you aren’t allowed to make jokes or make fun of them.
Sadly, I have a lifetime in the glass business.
My dad owned a commercial glazing company. I worked there on and off from ages 12-20.
After college, I worked for a company that was involved in automotive windshields, marine glazing and some residential.
I now work for a company as a product supplier for residential window installations. I was an instructor for a residential installation program.
When I was growing up, we had a saying in the family. “If you have to break something, make sure it’s a window.”
I only recall taking that advice a couple times. Once I was about 16. I accidentally broke the back door window. I removed the glass, drove to the shop, cut a piece of glass, polished the edges, drove home, installed the new window, installed glazing putty and was done before anyone even found out, not that they’d care.
I visited the site where that occurred. It’s a long drop from the window to the ground.
Heh, my memorable “window breaking” occurred about 50 years ago when I was a young teenager.
I had developed a fierce interest in Football (American, not the other kind) so I spent a lot of time throwing a football through a tire hung from a tree like some pro athletes...and I was teaching myself how to punt a ball. I was practicing punting by kicking it over our three story house from the front yard to the back yard.
Well, one shanked off my foot, and went right through the living room window on the front of the house.
Heh, I watched the punt, in slow motion, go right to the window, and my father sitting in the chair right next to it was clearly visible, head bent, reading the daily paper as the football demolished the pane of glass.
My dad’s angry face appeared in the now open window and he yelled angrily “What the Hell are you doing?”
In retrospect, I have to laugh...all I could do was look at the ground and mumble the standard response “I don’t know...”
Anyway, I learned how to cut, install, and glaze a window that day under the smoking eyes of my dad...:)
I resolved if I ever broke another window, I was going to fix it myself before he ever found out about it. I expected if I did break another one, he would whack me in the occipital of my skull with that big class ring of his!
A few years ago, I bought an old Fred Bear bow at a garage sale.
I wanted to try it out and set up a target using my house as the backstop. (It was scheduled to be resided in a few weeks so I didn’t really care if I missed.
Well, I did miss. It’s amazing how quickly an arrow goes through a basement window. Oops.
I fixed it with the Handyman’s Secret Weapon (duct tape) until I got around to replacing the whole unit with glass block.
Well that still works for Kamala filling all her holes
Defenstration
A word big enough to fill
one whole haiku line
The hosts on WMAL are making it a point to say “Camela looks like a UPS driver” on their shows.
