Civil War

 I took a second look at 2024's, "Civil War" last night because I've been thinking a lot lately of how quickly the US could go south under this asshole regime and wondering how it might happen. As awful as each regime member is from Trump on down, the obvious fact that not a one of them is the least bit competent in any way concerning their position (or any task they might be given) might be the most alarming. We know they are thieves and whores, and all are getting richer. Trump's a billionaire, probably for the first time in his sordid career as a millionaire pretending to be a billionaire. He likes it. He wants more. They always do. He's a narcissist and a victim who can never have enough money to fill the emptiness of his soul. We get that, yada, yada, yada. Fuck that guy, right? The thing is, despite world wars and depressions, assassinations and all sorts of big country strife, America always went on and we knew it would. America knew what to do. She wou...

It's a Person's World

 I've been thinking about sex lately. Like, what's in it for women, and does it have a future for both men and women- in the together sphere?  I'm having my doubts. Women are out there choosing bears (metaphorically, I suspect) and it seems like there are good reasons for that. Most of us fellas do appear to be rapey jerks who really don't like women all that much. When I first heard the term, "cum receptacle" it was on The Oprah Winfrey Show, back in the 90's. Now, in the Year of Our Lard, 2026, I'm almost surprised that the female gender hasn't been reclassified as 'cum receptacle'. Women are getting scant respect and when they do, it generally seems to be when it's necessary to advance the white, male agenda.  I'm not so sure that they even need us for the fun stuff, let alone the procreation portion of life's program. That sperm and egg thing can be done artificially. I saw the other night that only 18 to 20% of women can ha...

Life is Hard for the Stupid. You've Got That Right!

 If you have been anywhere near the internet the last 20 years, you may know that it has been beaten into our heads that the only thing protecting us from a tyrannical government is our right to bear arms. The government should fear the people- not vice versa- and the people have the right to rise up against the dang gubmint, anytime it what gets too big fer its britches. Dang gubmint get what for! Fuck around and find out! A little crude and hard to follow, but that's basically the intent behind a billion posts on gun rights over the last twenty years or so. "We have to protect ourselves from a tyrannical government! It's a God-given, sacred right also given to us by the Founders in all their wisdom and glory! It is THE law that protects ALL the other laws! Pretty neat, eh? No other country in the world has a God-given right to defend itself, but the US. We're pretty special in that regard! Here's the text of the Second Amendment, in its entirety. Here we go:  A w...

Nothing to Kick About

 I don't keep up with soccer, or as the whole world calls it; futbol, but I get it. I appreciate that probably a billion people absolutely love it. I'm not sure of the figures, but clearly more people love futbol more than 'my' sports of baseball, football, hockey and basketball- combined. That's impressive. Even though it's common for a match to end in a 0-0 tie, I guess it's exciting. It's just not, as we say, "my cup of tea".  As far as competition goes, it's an endurance feat of strength and intermittent bits of skill that many people really like. I won't question their love or sincerity. It looks fun for kids to play, and it can be hilarious to watch five-year-olds going at it. They are also hilarious at T-ball and Pee Wee football.  From a youth participation perspective, your child is better off kicking a ball around a field, occasionally bouncing a ball off their noggin than they are slamming their head into another kid's he...

Abandon All Hope, Ye who Enter Here

 Could you have ever fathomed an America so rife with gangster capitalism and led by THE  stupidest motherfucker imaginable, falling apart so fast? Of course not. No one saw this coming, save for the scumbags who made it happen, and even they must have been winging it, amazed at their success. I'm not going to give anyone- least of all, Trump- props for pulling this off. He's not laughing all the way to the offshore bank, pretending to be an idiot. He's not pretending. He's an idiot. Been saying for years that he's a perfect storm of idiocy, the only republican who could pull this off, ever. If Trump was given any marching orders by his handlers at all, surely it was, "Just be yourself. People like that shit!". Oh, he could do that! Tell him he is great and he will believe it. He is a delusional narcissist and always has been. He thinks, therefore he is. Someone is always right there to affirm his brilliant greatness. I don't know who that person is, a...

What the Hell do Words Mean Anyways?

 Like you (maybe) I get frustrated by stupid people. There have always been people who were purposefully stupid, but it wasn' t until the republican party was created, prior to the civil war, that we knew what to call them. Now, mind you, they gave us Abraham Lincoln and the end of slavery in the US and that was definitely a good thing to do, but they kind of peaked with that and have been nothing but trouble since. You can look that up.  One of the things they do that irks me is their intentional misunderstanding of the system of government known as socialism. They insist that it is the same thing as communism. They really don't even actually question why there are two very different words when it is so obvious to them that North Korea and Sweden have the exact same systems of government. They are both communist because that's what socialism is; just another word for communism. They have a tendency to oversimplify things, to a fault.  Democratic socialists have recently ...

Two Scoops

 Had a dream that I interviewed with Chris Hayes for a bartending job at the San Francisco Hilton. He was very impressed with me, and I was all but hired. He then found out that I had quit my job at "ABC 7" the day before, by saying: "The best part about a job at ABC 7 is being able to quit ABC 7". Hayes didn't like that. Like he took it personal somehow and chided me for it even though they were (somehow) the competition. He implied that by quitting there, I broke the freezer. The weird part is Chris Hayes has nothing to do with the hotel bar business, but he is a doppleganger for Mike Knight, who was THE best boss I ever had in the restaurant/bar business, years ago in New Orleans, in real life. Also, IRL, Mike had been arrested at the '68 Democratic Convention in Chicago so, he had his political bonafides, as Chris Hayes does. Chris had been having his hands all over a new-hire waitress and I could tell he had been drinking. I questioned him about that, a...
