The Eternal Lightness Of Being

 


Well I just assumed Jelly Roll was a MAGA, after he was seen with the orange man around election time. Again, another person I really know nothing about. I think he's a country singer who recently lost a lot of weight and a wife as well. Jelly was on a roll the other night when he was guest host for Jimmy Kimmel. Magats are angry now because they believed he was one of them. Well, he looked the part. Obese, tattooed, a felon with horrible  tattoos on his face. I'm still not sure what side he's on but he did get some zingers off regarding Trump. Whatevs. He did say one thing that was interesting and it was about Dolly Parton. He said she may be the very last person who both sides cared about. That might be true because I cannot think of anyone else on the planet who both sides respect and admire. It's odd that the Reich wing hillbillies loved her so much because if they really paid attention, they would have vilified her, called her horrible names, but, they're stupid. They saw a beautiful, blonde, Christian woman who talked like they did and assumed she was one of them. I read a post in Bluesky where the Skyer wrote that everyone loved her because she remained neutral regarding political views.

No. She most certainly did not.

She supported the LGBTQ community. She gave away millions of books to children. She provided needed funds to research Covid and find a vaccine. She even received the vaccine for all the world to see. She was a nice lady who said it was not her place to judge people and the choices they make. That doesn't mean she remained neutral. 

So, MAGA, she most definitely was not. But, you cannot explain that to anyone who voted for what we have today. 

I'm not sure if Dolly would have had that much power to stop a civil war- we will never know, but after reading hundreds of comments from powerful and influencial people to just us regulars, she was truly loved and a few who had met her mention that when she walked into a room they could feel a presence of warmth and light.

It's true that one person can be the bondo that holds a family together. I know a young man, who if something terrible happened to him, three families would fall apart. Three. 

What do we have to connect us to MAGA, to crazy evangelicals, to racists, rapists, billionaires and the brainwashed? What? Common decency? No, not when you believe it's okay to steal fathers off a street in front of terrorized children. Not when men can wear masks and shoot people in the head. Not while a president is in a file where he (allegedly) and other powerful men have raped children. 

For me, the saying, "We are all in this together," no longer applies. I am not you and I will never forgive you. Dolly was not you, either. You don't deserve to mourn her death. 

I'm not sure how all this Trump debacle will play out. It really could end up to be another civil war and believe me folks, I've never even touched a weapon, but I'll be first in line at Bud's Bait n' Guns if it happens. 

I'm just glad Dolly won't be here to see it.

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...

She's Still Dead

Image
   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...

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...
