Maggie On The Block

  Even though it was muggy af yesterday I decided to walk downtown to peruse the Halloween section at the antique store. It's never too early for Halloween, so I was excited and it being a Tuesday I was eighty percent sure they'd be open. I was wrong. Instead of the normal sign which used to state the hours open it now has something along the lines of, "I'll open when I feel like it." So, not quite losing all hope yet, I moved on to another business. This too was closed, as was ninety percent of the small businesses on Main Street. I repeat, it was a Tuesday afternoon. The only establishments open was a store which sells baby stuff, which I'm betting won't last another month, the music store and the book store, none of which were Halloween focused. It really did bother me as I passed every business that was dark and locked. I wasn't the only person who was disappointed as several people stood by the door of the antique store hoping a miracle would occu...

Unwilling Decoys

  That's what Google AI calls the people who had no idea they were being used. Google AI and I have differing opinions regarding the actions of our orange man and the decision by Secret Service to try and fool anyone considering unaliving the cretin in office. The bot doesn't seem to think (does it think?) using everyone else who flies with the said fat man, who had no idea they were being used as pawns, is an issue. Collateral damage, kids. That's what every one of you were and if you can still stomach getting near this vile administration who will risk your life for a raping, racist, murdering convicted felon, then you get what you deserve. The Secret Service demanded y'all not raise the blinds when on the plane. Was that for your protection? Lol, don't be naive.  Anyway, I was up early and just kept reading how Trump hid in a food truck. I didn't understand the whole story, then. My first thought was, "Hmm, seems like a good plan. Every spy does it....

Two Different Americas

Image
  Tomorrow is a big day in Wisconsin. We vote for our next governor in the primary. Since we still have the ability to vote by mail I've already voted and have chosen Francesca Hong, who is a socialist Democrat, or as the orange man would like to point out, a commie dumocrat. I keep going back to the image he posted about two different Americas. He truly doesn't seem to understand that he is the red x,  that he is who and what we need to change regarding this country. He married a woman who whored herself out to the highest bidder. Sadly, women for centuries have been given two options - be a dutiful wife and mother or sad sack loser spinster, so many women have gone into a "marriage" because of the societal construct. I guess some would say Melania did well. She will never have to worry about an empty fridge, hungry children, late bills. She lives in luxury with a haute couture wardrobe and fabulous penthouse where people serve her every need. Outside, she is everyth...

The People On The Bus...

  What do you think, should there be consequences for people who decide not to vote? In Australia you will be fined if you don't vote. In Brazil you will lose the right to renewing your passport or getting a driver's license. Singapore too has strict laws and punishment regarding voting. There are pros and cons to this issue, the most obvious is impinging on one's rights. Should someone be forced to cast a vote? Critics mention it will be the poor who will suffer the consequences. Aren't they already by not choosing to try and make a difference? Honestly, I find it a weak defense. Yes, there are people who have no way to get to the polls. Mail in voting is an option. There is no cost. I use it. You don't need to buy a stamp. You need one witness you could find on the street if you don't have family or friends. You don't have to spend a penny on fuel. Stick the ballot in a mailbox.  I don't believe the problem is because people are too poor to get to a po...

Just Practicing My Writing Skills

Image
  I really don't have much to say about anything today but I gotta practice my writing skills, so let's have a chin way regarding the work place and work office canoodles. I've never had one, myself. Most of the men I worked with were farting, smoking, beer bellied neanderthals. I did have a massive crush on a former boss who was fifteen years younger than me. He was a punk so I still don't understand my infatuation. We shared a pizza slice once so that was as far as our interlude went.  So, Eric Swalwell and Katie Miller? That's a girl who'd latch onto whatever she could get and what she got wasn't even leftovers, it was the grease on the bottom of the pan. She always looks like she hasn't bathed in a week or so- there's definitely something off with Katie. I don't wanna go there but can you imagine Katie and Nosferatu in bed? I mean, Ewwwwwwwww... Then we have Kristi and her boy toy, Corey, who no longer need to hide their affair. It's prob...

A Burnt Dick

  I finally watched the movie, ' Burnt ,' starring Bradley Cooper. I had stayed away because critics hated it, but I was more interested in Cooper's face which some say has been altered. He also apparently has married Gigi Hadid, a model. I dunno, but that movie is horrible! It's an old movie so if you haven't seen it yet, tough, because I'ma gonna get into it. It's about an asshole, Bradley, who in the movie was a renowned chef until he got into drugs. So now he is trying to start over but that drug thing left him some baggage. Did I mention he's an asshole? Chef Ramsey would be delightful to work with compared to this douche. He not only screams and insults his staff, he throws plates and other kitchen instruments around.  I worked one day with someone like this. It was some marketing job and my first task was to go through a TV Guide and cross out certain names. It was weird, but I played along, all the while Frau Himmler stood right in front of me go...

A Short PSA

  Anyone who has the gall to criticize Martha Reeves needs a time out. She is 85 years old and the song is a fucking stupid ass hard to sing anthem for anyone.  Fuck y'all. Try listening to her in her prime when Martha and the Vandellas were one of the best groups in the 60's. I'm going to guess they were treated like shit because they were black women. She's a survivor. She deserves some respect and I'm just disgusted with any of you who made her feel like shit.  Grow up. You apparently learned nothing in kindergarten.
