No Room For Error

According to statistics, you have a 50-50 shot in your day-to-day lifestyle that you will run into a Republican that is living in an alternate reality unless, of course, a non-reality Republican runs into another non-reality Republican.  Under the law of averages, this will occur a time or two.  I, on the other hand, believe that whoever came up with those statistics are too kind.  I am of the ilk that all Republicans have no immunity to this scurrilous syndrome.  Republicans, in general, live in an alternate universe.  What’s even worse are those Republicans who have taken up with the Q-Quack quandary and other conspiratorial theories are forever lost to any sense and sensibilities that we commoners have no desire to engage with.  I have found myself not engaging in discourse with those out there that fall into this area.  You may think that is cruel and maybe so, but Iike Covid, prudence rules!


I have a game plan in place that I will share with you to help you recognize those, of which fall into this category which contain 2 rules.  Rule #1: Do not engage in small talk of any kind when the discussion turns into certain subjects such as: voter fraud, Trump’s return to the oval office in August (according to the Pillow puke), Roswell, Area 51, moon landing, flat earth, Democrats eating babies, Antifa members disguised as Trump supporters wearing MAGA caps, Q shirts, face paint with Viking horns, etc., etc., etc.  Then there are those out there that are so obviously transparent that you should haste away the moment they move their lips.  The lone exception, but only in a non-conspiratorial intellectual tone would be the JFK assassination.  If JFK, Jr. happens to surface, RUN!!!!  Rule #2: first learn rule #1.


Now for the scary part.  I don’t have statistics as to how many wackos there are in Congress so this is how I look at it.  We all know about Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Mitch McConnell, Kevin McCarthy, Matt Gaetz and other quirky characters.  There are, of course, some that are shoo-ins such as those that downplay the January 6th insurrection.  The entity that comes to mind there is Ron Johnson.  Now ain’t he a piece of work?  Are the odds also 50-50 in the House and Senate?  In order to help you out here, I have come up with another ingenious answer to this dilemma which only contains one rule: guilt by association.  I know, I know, yes, it’s broad sweeping and there are bound to be guiltless victims here that are collateral damage, but better to be safe than sorry.  If I were in charge, I would personally hold Trump and Giuliani responsible for what led to the insurrection on January 6th and the Republican Party complicit, both before and since.  There would be no wiggle room and they would be found “guilty as charged!”  If you think that is severe, feel fortunate cause I know a lady who posted a scathing Facebook item that started off with,


“If you voted for Trump, you are not good people, you have a lot to do in terms of becoming a decent human worthy of being given the time of day.  You are incapable of an understanding of history and culture.  If you regret voting for Trump, that is a step in the right direction, but do not expect me or any other thinking person to assist you in pulling yourself out of your quagmire.  You do the work.  Turn off Fox News.  Get a library card.  You can either change your entire orientation, or you can be damned and follow your Fuhrer straight to the gates of hell.  Also, don’t come near me without a f***ing mask on!”


I don’t do Facebook and if I did, it would be of extraordinary circumstances, but I did reply to her and said, “Haven’t seen you for awhile, glad to see you are still perky and have your sense of humor!”  Be wary of her, there’s no room for error.  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...
