In response to "Knock, Knock, Madame"

My mother didn't tolerate swear words. Her father was very strict.

I was never good at jokes.

I do remember Ivory Snow as that was what we used. I prefer to use Dove now.

In response to "You Could Have Just Said"

My son has the same problem gagging on tomatoes although he can do ketchup. I hate the horsestuff, too, although I can take a tiny dab here or there, but it just burns. Only yellow mustard for me. I always pay good attention when ordering any deli sandwich and ask for "yellow" and watch as they make it.

In response to "Men of the Year"

I turned 18 in time to vote for Jimmy Carter in 1976. I was proud to support a decent, educated man who served his country. He studied engineering and served as a submarine officer aboard the USS Pomfret. He later became involved in the Navy's nuclear program and participated in the cleanup that followed a reactor accident at Canada's Chalk River Laboratories. Lieutenant Carter put on protective gear and took his turn being lowered into the hot zone to disassemble the damaged reactor. His more well-known career in politics was noted for humility, kindness, and compassion. Jimmy Carte was a man of heroic courage who spent his entire life in public service. I only wish that America could see his example as something to be emulated rather than ridiculed.

In response to "Men of the Year"

Well they deserved the recognition as they definitely made an impact on the last century. Unfortunately, so much of it was negative. Many, not just Time, seem to equate power with greatness.

Jimmy Carter was a great person... (1924-2024).

In response to "Donald J. Trump, DEI"

Yeah... and he may be prez again. He gets away with everything. It's his greatest talent. That, and instilling fear... and lying.

I think... Harris/Walz (a.k.a Brat&brats) needs to be ahead by 5% or 8 million votes to squeak by. If they don't get ahead by more than 3% in Congress, they will get little support from there.

But Americans vote out of fear. There are many who fear the raising cost of food (it is), the price of gasoline (because...), and criminal immigrants stealing their last piece of pie (they aren't... and they aren't).

DJT is running scared though... The forecast for November is stormy.

In response to "The MAGA Anthem"

The RNC is now known as the TNC... the old replaced by the new.

Has Donald-the-Martyr been made a saint yet?

It's funny that the former GOP talks about unity... I was never included.

In response to "Assassination Tango"

Don't worry, be happy!

The homeless camps will be relocated away from decent folks and equipped with tight security. Out of sight, out of mind!

The LBGQT policy will be don't ask, don't tell, don't be. Everyone will display cultural unity or go to jail. Out of sight, out of mind!

Women will be confined to their homes unless accompanied by a male guardian. No more worries about career or politics. Out of sight, out of mind!

State media will show only positive images of the great Amerika. No more coverage of urban crime, civil unrest, or climate disaster. Out of sight, out of mind!

If you'll just stop being woke you won't even notice that you're living in Hell.

In response to "Assassination Tango"

Saint Donald the Martyr was crowned pope/king/heir-apparent to the papal-state/kingdom/empire of the CMTA, the successor to the failed USA. E Pluribus Unum will be replaced by We Are Saved (We... not you), the Constitution replaced by the Bible-according-to-some-Christians (but not others), women will be put in their rightful place, minorities will bow to the Almighty White Man (God/Jesus is White), science will be subservient to theology, abnormals (trans, queer, etc) will have no rights. The State will be Loyal to Saint Donald the Martyr. Any servant must be loyal. Anyone not speaking English will be suspect. Anyone without American born parents will be suspect. Deportation of suspected undesirables will be a.s.a.p. The new King will give commends and cannot be questioned nor removed without a violent uprising. The CMTA will be a fortress nation.

The God-appointed, Saint-anointed theocracy will not be known as Atwood's Gilead, rather the Christian Military Theocracy of Amerikkka.

...

In truth? It's toxic masculinity supported by toxic men and the women who want to be fucked by them.

IT'S A MAN'S WORLD

is the basic message.

Its absolute loyalty (gimu) resembles the old Empire of Japan in some disturbing ways as does the quid-pro-quo system of favors and money (giri) that kept the poor poor.

Earning My Derision

Earning My Derision
(to the tune of Losing My Religion by R.E.M.)

Your lies are bigger
They're bigger than you
And you are not nice
The lengths that you will go to

The disdain in your eyes

Oh, please, don't say that stuff
You're fucking up

That's you at the rally
That's you in the spotlight
Sowing your dissension
I try to withstand your lies

And I don't know if I can do it
Oh, no, you've said too much
You never could shut up

I can always hear you sneering
Your insults are meant to sting
You always play the bully

Every moment
Of every waking hour
You choose to drag me down
I try to find some good in you

Like a hurt, lost and blinded MAGA fool
Oh, no, I've lost too much
I've been set up

Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this, your whip
That brought me to my knees, failed

What if all your fantasies come
Flailing down
Oh, yes, you're fucking up

I can always hear you sneering
Your insults are meant to sting
You always play the bully

And I can only scream
All I have are screams

That's you at the rally
That's you in the spotlight
Earning my derision
I try to withstand your lies

And I don't know if I can do it
Oh, no, you've said too much
You never could shut up

I can always hear you sneering
Your insults are meant to sting
You always play the bully

And the pain won't go away
Try, cry, why try?
That’s my nightmare scream
Just a scream
Just a scream, scream
