Charlie Needs A Home

 


This story that I wanted to share has been sitting on the back burner because I knew there was no way I could not describe how truly disgusted I am to see this monstrosity created. I had heard it would be permanently displayed in Times Square or some prominent area for fans to stand before and bow their heads in prayer. So, a lot of foul language and nothing helpful was to be published.

My heart soars at the moment because I read here 👇


the maker of this hunk of junk is very angry with us. He calls us, "cheap, cheap, cheap." Yeah, that's not a great marketing idea, pal. The Italian spent, so he says, $100,000 of his own money building the statue. I'm not sure what he used but in no way on this Earth is that worth $100,000. As a dutiful DIY gal who spends $80 on a project that looks like a $2 thrift castoff, I can relate, but that's as much sympathy he will receive from me. It seems no one wants to buy Charlie. In fact, he's read (probably my Bluesky feed) people are going to pee, piss and pointedly laugh at it. He got an offer of $1,400* for the sitting Kirk, which look to be depicting his last moments before a bullet hole entered his neck. The Italian didn't do a postmortem creation. Maybe he would have gotten more donations.


Hey, why isn't the widow Kirk buying it!? She can wake up every morning, rub Charlie's giant ... forehead and remember the good days when she was just a vessel for carrying babies and cared for all of Charlie's needs. Now she is a parody, a joke, a meme. But, hey, I don't want to go off track here. 

The Italian calls us cheap. I'm gonna use the term, "woke." Woke to the fact that even if you liked the guy, that's the ugliest hunk of metal of DIY crafting that will end up at a Goodwill store shortly for the price of, $4.99.  Charlie looks like he's been mud wrastling. I have to give the maker credit (I will not call him an artist) it does look like Kirk. I'm glad he hid the gummy smile. He tries to depict a kind, gentle persona who seems to be an unhoused resident of the city. 

Unfortunately, I think some MAGA will buy it. The orange man could get a great deal and place it in the reflecting swamp. Wouldn't that be something? 

Anyway, it was a good way to end this day, one with good news. There's not much to be happy about when it comes to where we are right now, so even a little light is nice. 

I hope it ends up in a farmer's field where birds can shit on it and chirp, "cheap, cheap, cheap," all day long. 

*I think the price is up around $4,000 now. He should cut his losses and take it.

She's Still Dead

   Ashli Babbitt was a traitor to this country. They can have all the ceremonial shenanigans the military likes to present as the deceased has been offered full military honors (We all know who requested that) it still won't negate the fact that she and thugs like her stormed a government building to do harm to others. They shit in the hallways. They carried confederate flags. They brought zip ties, bats and rage. The current regime can sugar coat it all they want but one day the orange man will be manure for his golf course grass and we can go back to truth being important. She deserved to be shot. More of them should have been shot that day. Every police officer should have followed the example of the police officer who did his job that day. These deplorables remind me of the fictional character, Ignatius J. Reilly, a lazy, selfish narcissist who decided to gather the factory employees in protest of some useless, archaic self indulgent mischief. He brought from home his soil...

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...

Benny, Benny And No Regrets

Image
  It's just so hard to keep up with maga creeps. Here's Benny  Johnson, the guy who started the rumor that DC was a cesspool. He also claimed his house burned down while his family was in it. He's a liar. His house never burned down. You really can't believe much of what this asshat says because he has a habit of playing with facts. He also likes to steal other people's words. He has been fired and suspended numerous times for plagiarism, at least 41 times. It just boggles my mind when these people blatantly lie, then are outraged when called out. People like Johnson, Trump and Leavitt have probably lived their whole lives creating a make believe existence where lying is the norm. At some point it just becomes routine where they find lying acceptable and necessary. To me they are empty shells of mindless walking automatons. They live in a bubble of falsehoods. These are the people in charge of our country.  The NYTimes has done a story about Pinocchio Johnson. I dec...
