I Think I Can, I Think...

  Before I begin this completely unrelated story, or maybe it isn't. Thank-you for your service, dead soldiers. I'm sort of glad you're not here to see this. You fought bravely and honorably. Rest in peace. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ok, I've noticed these adorable little robots out on the street and feel sad. Sad because they'll never be able to exist in this country. Sometimes, I watch YouTube videos of a dude who just walks around Japan. It's quite beautiful and relaxing. As we walk together I notice people leave out little Buddhas or trinkets in gardens where there are shrines. Sometimes we walk past little shops where beautiful pottery and gorgeous lanterns decorate the storefront. The only thing I think, after I think, "So cute," is, "That would be gone in five seconds, here." Here, being the US. We really can't have nice things because people take them. There was a local story in the news about a nursery who leaves blooming plants and flow...

Don't Think Twice, It's Alright

   Happy birthday, Bob. I was going to say that you don't know me, but you do. You see things in me and others we didn't know was there. I think there are some people born on this planet who know exactly what they were destined for, they go into the tunnel and come out with magic.  I must confess when I was a girl, a very long time ago, I preferred James and Carole. I didn't get you.  And then one day, I was at a party and I heard a beautiful voice, a woman was sitting on the floor in the crowded living room, playing her guitar and singing, ' Boots of Spanish Leather .' I cannot explain how much it moved me. If you know, you know. And then I went a bit, "Annie Wilkes," for awhile. I listened to everything, went to concerts alone because no one would come with me to listen to you. Their loss. People think you're weird. I suppose you are, because you don't fit in the box of building blocks.  I'm going to confess that when your physical body is n...

The Best Books Of All Time?

Image
  😬 I consider myself an avid reader. Having noted that, there are very few books I have read from The Guardian's best 100 books of all time. My list is less than a dozen, even counting a few I started and never finished. 174 prominent writers participated in creating brain food for your pleasure. They each contributed ten of their favorite reads and someone somewhere somehow tabulated the favorites. Without further ado, the number one book of all time is ...... Middlemarch. The fucking hell it is. Lol. Like art, what you like is subjective. Some people believe Manga is good stuff. Others prefer historical novels, blah, blah, blah. I suppose the list is supposed to be taken more seriously because actual writers who make a living writing books have listed what they deemed the best read. I'm not a writer. I suppose like a musician who reads notes, understands the structure, the form, the timbre, they can recognize the whole. I just want a book that will entertain me and not try...

The Lawsuit

Image
  It's over. Michael Wolff's lawsuit against Melania has been struck down as frivolous, silly behavior by a Trump appointed judge. Since when is an anti-slapp lawsuit frivolous? What's the point of having these lawsuits in place if you can't actually use them. Wolff had every right to sue Trump's contracted consort because she threatened him. Naturally, Melania's lawyers have claimed victory. The bullies got their way. Of course they did. Again, a Trump supporting judge was never going to allow the lawsuit to continue. She took all this time to sit on it just to make it look like she considered it at all. Nah. We now know how the world works. She's giving favors for being allowed to use the court of law to thank Trump. Melania is still sticking to her claim she and Epstein were just passing acquaintances who would simply be at the same parties. In the beginning when I joined in the GoFundMe request to raise the necessary funds to stop these vile wretches fr...

BOLO For Ben Palmer!

Image
 Be on the lookout for this comedian who was flagged by DHS for being a comedian.  Gosh, those guys in the White House can dish it out but they cannot stand getting their feelings hurt. It's absolutely hilarious when comedians such as Colbert, Stewart and Trump's favorite, Kimmel, can bash the Trump regime with witty lines. He absolutely hates it! He can only come back with his usual arsenal of nonsense. "Low IQ!" "Stupid!" "Dum!" (He just learned dumb is spelled with a b) Ben Palmer had/has? a website up on Facebook where people can call in and snitch on their brown neighbors. One kindergarten teacher called in about one of her student's parents. Wow. It is clear, according to Palmer, the site is a parody. It's marked as such somewhere. Apparently with so much traffic on the website, some Barney Fife official became interested and sent out a BOLO. "Be on the lookout." Aaahhh, I never get tired of hearing about people like Palmer...

Start Spreading The Spews

Image
  Ugh, I was so trying to find some good news today. Instead, I came across this . A woman who was on the deadly hantavirus ship is angry. She's mad because officials have decided to quarantine her and others so they don't spread the highly infectious disease to others. She claims she's capable of self isolating and she'll know when she's ready to go back into the public. Shut up, bitch, and sit down. I'm sorry your cruise was ruined by mouse poop and people died, but there is no way in hell I trust you or anyone else on that ship to self isolate. How many times have we heard stories of people getting on planes knowing they had Covid? Your selfishness is incredible. The fact that officials would like to contain this virus and are doing everything in their power to keep this monster from spreading is something your pea brain should comprehend.  I remember the tragic story about the actress Gene Tierney who was pregnant with her first child. She contacted rubella ...

Were You There?

Image
  I was there!  Would you?  Reading blips about Trump's idea to reward thugs and traitors, I wonder how many people will claim to have been there when they were not? I suppose plenty of dumb Magas will show up, hoping to get some of that treasonous payout, but what about you, a loyal blue? The kitchen pantry is empty, bills are piling up, Jimmy needs braces and the cat is sick, but you can barely afford gas to get to work. Then you see this news. Trump's minions, who breached a federal building, who defecated in the hallways, who brought zip ties to harm people, who yelled for the blood of Trump's vice president, they just might be rewarded for treason. I keep using that word - treason. What else can it be defined as? They climbed the building like animals. They beat police officers who still shake when they describe what they saw and how they were stomped on and screamed at. That's a lot of money. Proud boys will be rich. All you have to do is lie a little, maybe use s...
