congress
A handy guide to all Congress happenings on both sides of the aisle. Thank goodness for this political body that keeps Presidential power in check.
Dear Future President
It's time for another political article because as I surf through Twitter and Youtube I'm seeing post after post about Trump and Kamala. Oy ve and a half. Look what America has been reduced to: Trump, the felon who causes insurrections or Kamala, the brain dead druggie who can't complete an actual real sentence. We are so doomed. Still, if I could vote, I'd give my vote to the felon. At least I can understand him when he speaks.

Republicans! Here’s a Hint, Eve Had a Point of View Too
Republicans just don’t know if they should shit or go blind. They’ve fought for years to establish the idea that abortion is wrong. The only problem with that stance is the problems women have when their lives are upended with a pregnancy. Well, those problems do not give a single fuck about laws that any state passes to insist that all the citizens of that state ignore reality. God just screwed up when he/she/it made women. Cripes, it’s right there in Genesis. Women are being punished for being more curious than men. Therefore, it’s clear, some 5000 years later, that Adam and Eve were evil through and through. Not only that but it was Eve who had to have some apple. She knew better and made poor Adam do something he really did not want to do. The only reason God was PO’ed with Adam was because he didn’t stand up for what God told him to do with his old lady. Apparently, Adam’s fig leaf prevented tanning in certain essential areas which support manly manliness, and poor Adam succumbed to the succubus Eve. Maybe it’s just me, but that story has some parts in it that answer a lot of my questions, but it surely does raise a bunch of questions I can’t answer, too.

A Republican Cootie Infestation
I’ve found that it’s rather rare to encounter people who are familiar with the concept of dichotomies and how the concept affects our perception of everything around us, including inter-human events. This election season may be the best illustration of this phenomenon we’ll ever have. The far right Congressional Freedom caucus is the prime example.

The Thinly Veiled Racism of the Republican Orange Boy Fantasy
My daddy told me one time when I was knee-high to a grasshopper–okay it was a really big grasshopper–that I would do well to look a man in the eye when he paid me. I was not to take my pay by reaching behind my back to get it. In time I learned that to do as he instructed, it was necessary to do my work as he had instructed me too. His only instruction about work was, “If it’s worth doing, it’s worth doing right.” Right meant that not only was work to be done to a standard higher than a client could reach himself and to be done efficiently and, obviously, so that it could not be done better in the same time by anyone. It could be done as well, but if someone could do it better, the job just wasn’t done yet. I’ve found in my brief sojourn here in this world that the old man knew what he was talking about.

6B vs 53 Years of Keeping the Country Safe
I’ve been watching news reports over the last few days of what I suppose to have been a hearing on something, but it turned out to be a bitch session for our long-time source of great material, 6B (Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body). I do so wish that girl understood the difference between knowing how you know anything at all and claiming knowledge of anything at all without knowing the source of that knowledge. 6B wouldn’t even acknowledge that Dr. Fauci was actually a doctor with decades of experience. She stated that he should be in jail because she didn’t like to have to wear a mask.

With Friends Like These You’d Crib Out in Court Too
Is Will Smith up for a new role? Men in Red Ties? What a spectacle, eh? Big Orange in court for a crime that got his fixer 3 years. His fixer was convicted for the same damned thing Big is in court for. Big and the fixer were in it together. There’s a little bit of a backstory here. Seems Big Orange is such a sensitive human being that he needs a mental health specialist, like his niece. I think she must have written a prescription for Big. If it wasn’t her, it must have been someone else close to him, like his mommy. I can’t pinpoint exactly who, but someone must have prescribed sleep therapy to counteract tense events in his life, like being nearly 80. I think the prescription must say something like–if an event is overly intense the best way to keep the heart from exploding from pride or something is to just zone out. Sleep is good for the inventive mind. Tesla, Franklin, Bell, Ford, Einstein and now Big Orange all endorse naps as a rejuvenating and creative activity which costs very little. Well, usually, I don’t know how much it costs to crib out in court.

Is the Poorelone Image Worshiping Virus an Aerosol Threat?
There’s something that’s been bothering me lately about what some of our leadership luminaries use to think with. I know they think with their brains, but what are the programs they use in those flesh and blood computers? For example, one might wonder about the professionalism of an architect who uses the horribly simple design app called Home Design 3D as opposed to an architect who uses AutoCad to design your home or a bridge or a stadium. There’s nothing at all wrong with Home Design 3D. It does a fine job for someone who just wants to kind of visualize what he wants to see on an ipad. But an architect has to think about a lot more than what something is sort of going to look like. Only an advanced program like AutoCad mounted on a massive computer can accomplish the level of detail an architect requires. Of course AutoCad has years in its continuing development whereas Home Design 3D may have two or three years of constant improvement.

Puppet Masters
Introduction In this complex web of global politics, this idea that the world leaders are actually puppets moving to unseen forces is not some sort of conspiracy theory but fact. The story details real examples of leaders whose agendas are really controlled by party apparatchiks, corporate interests, and special lobby groups, explaining how endemic the corruption is and just how hard making independent decisions really is.

FBI Charges Biden After Finding the 2020 Election in His Corvette Stingray’s Frunk
I think the most offensive part of the pall that wafts around He-Who-May-Not-Be-Named is the astounding arrogance with which ignorance is displayed. That one trait seems to be a necessary ingredient in all of the issues on the MAGA agenda. Belief takes precedence over reality. It’s as though if something is believed it is more real than something that is actually real. The prime example is the belief that the 2020 election was stolen and stashed in the trunk of Dark Brandon’s Stingray along with umpity-thousand classified documents. Anyone is free to believe what they wish concerning those votes and those documents. Mix and match, no rules required for this one. But that cannot be an accurate picture of reality no matter what set of beliefs is employed. Everyone knows that the trunk of a Stingray doesn’t have that much room. Cripes, it barely has enough room for groceries even when you include the frunk.
