Goofy Govs

Texas and Florida occupy pleasant memories.  I lived there in the 60’s and 70’s and became absorbed into the environment.  Florida for the fun and sun and Texas for the food and fun.  As much as I would like to pop in and out of there, on occasion, during the winter season, I do not have any desire to be anywhere near those geographical locations anytime soon.  Truth be known, they have become the bane of our existence as far as state government is concerned.  We are on the verge of these pandemic variants going hog wild.  I can imagine all these microscopic felons floating around with each other and laughing their microbes off.  If you could hear them communicate they would be saying things like, “wow, this is so easy!”  Word in the lab is that they get on their cell phones (get it, CELL phones) and call their cousins to “come on down to Crackerville and Wackotown!  Everything is wide open down here and ripe for the pickin’!”.  Talk about reckless abandon.  Leave it up to Governors Fool and Hardy to repudiate all precautions whatsoever.  The Major League Baseball season has opened up and the 30 clubs have put a limit to the attendance capacity.  The average across the board is 26%.  Of the 30 clubs, 22 of them have below average limits.  The lowest amount allowed are the Washington Nationals and the Boston Red Sox at 12%.  The highest at 100% is, of course, the Texas Rangers.  Daily inoculations have now reached 3 million a day and it now looks good to have enough vaccines to go around.  Sometimes it feels like we can be on the verge of obtaining herd immunity and another variant breaks out and devastates us.  And to enhance the situation there were thousands upon thousands of maskless spring breakers running amok in Texas and Florida.  Yes, there are other states that have dropped masked mandates, but for some reason, these 2 southern states have to flaunt their foolishness.  What gives?

It doesn’t take rocket science to see just what gives in these 2 states, all it takes are a couple of Republican governors.  If you break it down to its lowest bottom feeder denominator, of course, it’s the Republican Party plus all their MAGA maggots that are dragging us down.  Problem we have is that when we take a good step forward, we take two steps backward.  California is the state with the most coronavirus restrictions.  But, for every California, there is a Florida and Texas.  Other states are dropping restrictions, especially masked mandates.  It’s really gotten sad what’s happening now.  I realize that no one is going to have state shutdowns anymore like we had last spring, which was really cool for me being an essential worker for Insta-cart with hardly anyone in the stores or on the highway, but in reality, it will be the only way to beat this thing.  I personally am bracing for another rugged outbreak that will set us back.  Sure hope I’m wrong, but if I’m not, then, I’ll be right again for all the wrong reasons!  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...
