It's A Mystery

 


So, this is the type of stuff little Margaret had trouble comprehending back in fifth grade. Why do you need to pray to God? Doesn't he have the power to intervene? Why'd the Pope get the cancer in the first place? 

Oooh, it's because God works in mysterious ways, like allowing a deranged white boy who is angry at the world shoot terrified children in their heads as they cried for their mothers. Or, when a predator takes a child, rapes, then kills her or him. Mysterious, indeed. I know the believers will come up with the answers as to why faith is important even when an orange man is murdering children. Even when women are being raped. Explain why he can't fix the weather. According to the magats, Democrats have the ability but why doesn't God come in and help us out a bit?

Ohhh, he's testing us. For what?

I cannot say with certainty there is no dude watching us, making a list and checking it twice. 

To what point? 

If prayer makes you feel better, fine. I believe it's just a form of meditation which helps to relieve the prayer's stress and makes them feel good that they are doing something. 

Prayers won't stop cancer from spreading. Maybe science will. Prayers don't do anything but allow people to avoid reality. 

The Pope seems like a nice guy. Nice guys die every single day and murderers live to kill another day. 

It's all very mysterious.

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...

I Don't Want To Harp On It

Image
Do you ever ask yourself, "How? How does he get these women to fall for him?" That's a good question. And I think many of you would say, "Money." Or, you, over there, "Power." Well, yes, usually when we see a good looking woman, one who just passed puberty, locking arms with a guy that looks like Abe Vigoda, we can all assume she's sold her soul for money. A pair of Jimmy Choos means more to her than self respect.  But, when it comes to the orange man, there's something there- something I don't see but other women do. He was somewhat attractive when he was young, albeit the frat boy, prowler type. Now he's just a living, rotting carcass.  So, why does Natalie Harp want him so badly, and who the hell is Natalie Harp?  The only thing I know about her is what I have heard from the Daily Beast, which isn't much. She's a young lady who hangs around Trump as if she's his wife. (You need a contract for that) I'm guessing Trump ...
