The Other Side Of Tuesday

 


A million years ago, when we had the chance to vote for our very first woman president, I was so absolutely positive Republican women would defy their husbands and vote for Harris. Maybe some did, but as we now see, it wasn't enough. It truly bugs the hell out of me when I now see how confident the left is, believing a blue tsunami is coming November 3rd. They are making plans and moving in. I say, STOP!! Just, stop. I know we want to put a positive spin on this possible victory for democracy, but it's not in the bag. It's very possible we may not get the blue wave we need. I'm sorry to put a damper on your dream, but let's just wait because I cannot go through another moment thinking all is well and then hearing the devastating results. 

People are willing to eat feces covered lettuce as long as immigrants are hauled away. They will live in their cars as long as they have their guns and Bibles. They are stupid, stupid, ignorant buffoons but they can pencil in a circle and vote for the turd. They will come out of their bunkers next Tuesday and vote for more of this tragedy. 88 million voters stayed home in 2024. Most will again stay home. I don't believe the clips I see where the once magafied has seen the light and will vote blue. I don't. They will walk in there and vote red, even if that decision takes away everything they have. 

I'm not going to be at ease until I see the final results because it might just be like the night all light was extinguished within me.

So please, it's ok to be hopeful. I love seeing Obama out there. I love seeing the lone heroes at Trump's rallies call him out. But... stop planning what we do the day after the 3rd because it might hurt, it will hurt, if it doesn't happen.

So, I'm not going to write anything more about politics until we're on the other side of Tuesday. 

Let's get out there and put this motherfucker away.

For Alex and Renee.

What they always say about counting chickens. Whether it's over confidence or skullduggery- or just high on hopium, it seems like life is always prepared to snatch dreams from our hearts. Rational me thought there was NO EFFING WAY HRC could lose to an obvious conman like Trump. I reasoned people would want to keep the Obama good times rolling. Why not!? But if there wasn't Russian interference, there was the idiocy of the Electoral College. It really killed the roll I was on from the Cubs winning in 2016, just days earlier. What Hell will these Brewers bring??!! Eh, probably nothing special. I hope...

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...

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 ...

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...
