TRAINWRECK

Everyone would most always prefer to be on a fast track to success.  For 99 and 44/100th’s percent of us, overnight success is years in the making.  A pseudo-famous musician friend of mine had a t-shirt inscribed with, “You’re looking at a 27 year stubborn streak of overnight success!” I told him he was quite fortunate to have achieved that in little to no time.  Some folks  want, need, desire and/or demand instant gratification, but that usually starts to wean somewhat after kindergarten.  Unfortunately, there are those who have failed miserably in social graces and carried this scourge into the highest levels of government.  The result of this reality, for most of the world, has the “unconscionable chaos” of a Trump Trainwreck!


Hey, you still with me?  This is the Federal Government here, you can’t say federal government and instant gratification in the same sentence!  It’s an oxymoron, it’s right up there with Army Intelligence and Jumbo Shrimp.  It takes eons of time to be even remotely gratified with the federal government.  The only exception here would be in the case of Turbulent Trump as he defines oxymoron.  He has the ability to Act Naturally and be Amazingly Awful when Clearly Confused and Weirdly Normal in his True Myth.  After 4 years, he is still trying to run his circle of power like a family business.  He still can’t hear cause he doesn’t listen.   Reminiscent of his days as a reality TV clown where he always seemed to be firing someone.  Well, over 400 people have come and gone through his revolving door and I am sure someone is being fired, quit, resigned, moved on or just plain walked out as we speak, like ballast leaving a sinking ship.  When did it all go so wrong for this orange and blonde egotistical, conceited, self-loving, bigheaded, vainglorious, self-effacing narcissist?  Oh boy, let me take a stab at this one: um, maybe when he made his announcement to run for President?  I figure that he wanted to up the stakes and get his self-worth in the news more often, so what better way to do that, then to become President of the United States.  He figures if he can become President, then his face, words and actions would be in the news on a daily basis.  Wouldn’t matter if the news is good, bad or indifferent, it’s publicity and he basks in its glory.  Problem is, he’s involved with the forces of nature and when it comes to the government, there is no such thing as a fast track.  Previous Presidents have all known this ahead of time.  Kennedy fared well with the best and the brightest, Nixon, not as well with his band of questionable characters and ne’er do wells, but they both listened and observed in order to come to sound decisions. Unfortunately for us, his  obsession to constantly run things his way has put us in deep do-do and he and his inner circle will go down being termed as the dumb and the dumbest.  How many derailments have there been along the way is hard to say.  There is one bright spot though and that’s the pending new placement of our 15th President, James Buchanon, he will no longer occupy the bottom rung.  Stay tuned…..!

The McGrinch That Stole Your Stimulus

I disagreed with my wife just now, something that I never do, since the repercussions are quite disturbing.  Here’s what went down.  She stated that Mitch McConnell can’t stoop any lower into the depravity he wallows in.  I stood tall, took a deep breath, looked her right in the eye and spewed out “Yes he can!”  It was a moment frozen in time and then she smiled.   No systematic repercussions followed.  Whew!  Now, as a politician, he has a certain inalienable right to say one thing and mean another, or to talk out of two sides of his mouth, but Mitcheroo, has the extraneous ability to talk out of two faces.  Unfortunately, those two faces resemble both Scrooge and The Grinch.  Isn’t it easy for someone with a net worth of $22,200,000 to stand at a podium in the hallowed halls of Congress and object to raising the stimulus check amount from $600.00 to $2,000.00?  Then there’s Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania, who said there are too many citize...

Uncommon Failure

Okay, I’ll let you all be the judge and jury of the following statement that I came across that was buried in the dark corners of the internet where I usually find my strange and highly unusual articles of confoundation.  This is a Los Angeles Times letter to the editor ( https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-04-12/huntington-beach-ku-klux-klan ) about the “burb” of Huntington Beach.  Headline: “Common ground with the Ku Klux Klan?  Huntington Beach has a problem.”  The letter starts off with, “As Huntington Beach was preparing for a Ku Klux Klan rally and, in response, a Black Lives Matter counter protest, police department spokesman Lt. Brian Smith said,” now here’s the kicker, “We hope that they can utilize events like this as a means to find the common ground and work together for the common goal.”  ???  I thought I would substitute the usual WTF that usually follows an incredulous statement like that with question marks.  I never pass up the ...

The New Cult

Past cult leaders the likes of Sun Myung Moon, David Koresh and Jim Jones, exemplary role models for “Moonies”, “Davidians” and “Peoples Templers” are said to have had a charismatic  gift of gab and were able to ensnarl a whole slew of followers into their realm.  They, of course, have since passed into the great beyond.  Moon was 92 when he died of pneumonia, Korish was 33 when he and his zealots died with guns blazing and Jones 47, died with his lemmings from a bad dose of kool-aid.  There was a rumor going around that his last words were, “Hey, did someone spike this stuff!”   Like Stalin, Hitler and Atilla the Hun, these folks had the innate ability to sway the masses.  To this day, I still can’t figure out how.  I was more enamored with garden slugs than those “coots.”  Nowadays, we have a new malady in our midst, an anomaly if you will, who not only doesn’t have a gift of gab, but cannot even enunciate words correctly, uses alternative facts...
