The Love of Money

 Since Trump infected our lives ten-some years ago, billionaires have come out of the woodwork. Not sure if they were always there or if they or if they were a result of all these bubbles of tech and dot.coms and whatever people who aren't me fall into. It seems like I hear about new ones every day and this is because they are all assholes who made easy money and now want to control the world. Well, here's the thing about that: None of these fucks are qualified to run the whole earth show, and they are all playing each other thinking that they are working together- with fucking Trump(!!)- to facilitate this. Did they not learn anything about people on their way up the ladder? Did they not learn about themselves?  There was a guy in one of the bars I worked at, who was an alleged millionaire. I do not recall his name, what he looked like or what his business was. This is because he meant nothing to me. I didn't fucking like him. He was not friendly and he did not tip. I say ...

Once Upon a Prime Suspect

 Found another very good network show that fell victim to poor ratings. "Prime Suspect", starring the lovely and talented Maria Bello, lasted one season on NBC, back in 2011. I don't recall if I ever saw even an episode back then- maybe- as I am longtime fan of Maria Bello. She's a crush- OK??!! She's NOT my girlfriend! Yeesh! Anyway, perhaps viewers saw it (or didn't see it) as typical gritty NYPD cop drama. IMDb critics gave it a 7.3 on their Richter scale and I would go along with that rank myself. The show had an excellent cast including names you may have heard of like Kirk Acevedo, Brian F. O'Byrne and Aidan Quinn, along with familiar unknown faces as supporting cast. Acting truly is a team effort, and all involved put in the necessary good work each episode. It is always a pleasure to see good actors plying their craft. No one drags the show down.  Detective Jane Timoney doesn't have the usual TV cop baggage of a drug or drinking problem, or a b...

OH LORD- Please Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood

 I wish I had a camera in my bedroom. Get your mind out of the gutter! We covered my vague attempt at a porn career in New Orleans many posts here back, so it's not about me and extremely blonde Susan. This is much more innocent than that, though it does wind up with a woman being quite pleased.  The time change has messed me up again. I don't know why we do that twice a year. The worst one is the Spring switch (now) where we scoot ahead an hour for some dumb reason. I nap nearly every afternoon because I'm retired and I only get like six hours of sleep at night and I stay up kinda late because, why not? Thus, I get up kinda early. So, to get my constitutionally mandated eight hours, I try to pick up two in the afternoon. I rarely have trouble going to sleep, but the struggle is real in getting that eight in a row like most people. Many people? I don't know. So today my nap was kinda late by this past Saturday's standards, but I did that trick people do at time chan...

Is There a Draft in Here?

 I was a young kid in the 60's, but I well remember the anti-war protests. The Vietnam war protests were in all the papers, on TV every night and in the streets all over America. It was an unpopular war for a myriad of reasons, but the drafting of young men might have been the bigliest  detraction. Vietnam wasn't a World War where our very existence was threatened by a madman in Europe and one in Japan, as well. It was an unnecessary political war; business for the Military Industrial Complex, disguised as the patriotic salvation of democracy from the evils of communism. The draft lottery to me seemed as cruel and unusual as "The Lottery" in the great Shirley Jackson short story of the same name. Your number came up; you were gone.  You might survive the Vietnam draft lottery- your individual death wasn't the  point- and you had some options to avoid being shipped out, but those options were not available to all. If your daddy was rich a doctor could write a note ...

Feel Free to Vet this

Last night I posted a couple of still-interesting videos by a guy on YouTube named Chase Hughes. They were both basically about how you and I shouldn't fall for this left v. right crap that the Epstein Class wants so badly for us to fall for. It was pretty good stuff, but nothing I hadn't figured out myself years ago. So, it was a well-presented reaffirmation of what I already knew and what you can see on sites like Bluesky every day, from thousands of people. A billionaire run society wants to keep you barefoot and pregnant for their own fun and profit. Duh. The media is in on it as are both parties in the US. Again, Duh. I don't know if any of my few followers  bothered to watch the two videos or not. No likes or comments. That's fine. Both were good messages, imploring people to stop and think about the other side - particularly in politics- and don't judge them too harshly or condemn them because they aren't as smart or well-informed as you are. We really ar...

Leather Nazi Cheerleading Outfits

 Jimmy K. was a bartender I worked with back-in-the-day who often described himself as "Your worst nightmare- a hippie with a job!!" He was very quotable. We would be scoping out the bar for good looking girls, and we'd agree on one and he would say to me, "Could you imagine her in a leather Nazi cheerleading outfit?" And I could! Jimmy was my age and quite well known locally but we had gone to different schools together yet managed to have a lot of mutual acquaintances. He had worked at a convenience store owned by his uncle and I sorta knew him from there, but just well enough to think I didn't want to work the bar with him. Younger Ferrerman was pretty tolerant of oddballs though, so I just rolled with it and him. He was a very serious Cubs fan and that goes a long way with me.  It turned out to be a lot of fun working with him. Though a libertarian (nothing more than a republican who smokes weed according to me, and an assessment that he liked very much)...

It's 1, 2, 3 Who Are We Fighting For?

Well, I don't know what happened in yesterday's post here to piss off the go-ogle people and I don't really care. Seems like one of those bad wife/girlfriend things where, she's mad and you have to guess why, because: "If you don't KNOW , I'm certainly not going to tell you!" That's never productive. Anyways, let's move on.  The past couple of days I have seen reports that some commanders in all branches of our military, are telling their troops that this current Iran war is Biblical. They believe that Trump has been anointed by Jesus to destroy the Middle East to facilitate the return of Jesus, as apparently laid out in the Bible. I'm confused because I had always heard that it was the destruction of ISRAEL  that was supposed to make this happen. That always seemed a bit specific, but now they are talking the whole region where we have been fighting wars for a few decades now. The Bible itself has long been wide-open to interpretation, so ...
