A Heart, A Brain, The Noive

 


It was kind of like the Squid games, only it was meant to hire the thugs who pointed weapons and killed the contestants. People, mostly men, mostly right wing, all desperate, signed on to be an ICE agent. Some did it for the usual reasons - they are crazy and wanted to murder someone. Others just needed money and $50,000 is a lot of money. Jeez, the things you could do with $50,000 in this country. But a months worth of groceries and fill your Dodge Ram truck. You might even be able to buy that double wide mom has hidden in her back yard.

The problem is after all these wannabees were hired, they had to be fired. Vetting wasn't a priority. It still isn't since we see agents sticking guns in the faces of citizens walking their dogs. We see ICE agents running over people because they're crazy, angry motherfuckers and cowards who take off. But, thousands of new hires were soon dumped and told to move on. Oh, and by the way, give us back that initial $10,000 we so generously gave you otherwise we take it out of your hide, somehow. 

So, the majority of you dreamers are worse off than when you began. Oh, and that $50,000 wasn't a one deal payout. It would be spread out over years. And, if you owed money for your great American college education, that bonus would go directly back to the government. Payback is a bitch. So is being stupid. 

I'm feeling a bit warm and fuzzy inside. Just a little bit because it still won't bring back Alex or Renee. It won't reverse the damage you did as you arrested parents in front of their children. It won't give a young man his eyesight back. The sad truth is you're all still a bunch of vile assholes even the government won't hire although they do love their assholes. Honestly, I hope you lose everything you have, which isn't much to lose. You've already proven were without a brain, a heart or a soul when you were hired. 

*I promised no more political posts until after Tuesday but this is more of a sociological issue.

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...
