Rand Slam

Once again, the government is missing the point.  On a personal level, I don’t care if the Corona virus originated under a natural environment or in a lab.  Whether it came from a wombat, warthog, dodo bird, vampire, werewolf, or Count Dracula himself vs human error in a lab, it’s real and has killed millions of people and isn’t going away.  All these arguments and conspiracy theories are not going to bring these folks back.  What we have, right now, is the ability to defeat this scourge, but we can’t on account of all the naysayers.  It is definitely a sign of the times that whether to take the shot or not is a matter of color: Red or Blue Partisanship.  There are a ton of Republican jokes out there, but the joke of the day: Senator Rand Paul ® Kentucky wins by an eyelash over Majorie Taylor Greene’s mouth.  She’s tempting me with her latest volumes of vulgar verbiage, however, the Senator is a regular moron and MTG is way beyond all that, besides the Senator is overdue for more bombastic bashing.


It really sucks when folks decide to forego the vaccine on account of the rantings of a typical.

Republican blowhard who happens to be in the spotlight, at the moment, and pretend that he knows what he’s talking about when, in reality, he doesn’t know, “Shit From Shinola!”  It would be best for everyone  if he were simply struck dumb by one of MTG’s Jewish Laser Beams.  The  Late Show hosts had a grand time tearing him apart.  Steven Colbert tried to “Randsplaine”, to his audience, that the Senator has been a bit of a skeptic of how bad Covid really is and that the health officials needed to prove that the vaccine is better than being infected.  When I heard that, I paused the video and tried to digest that quote that Colbert just stated.  Now, a normal person would automatically come to their own conclusion that, yes, getting the vaccine is “way better” than being infected.  But, in order to prove a point, Colbert went on to say, “No they don’t.  They don’t have to prove that seatbelts are better than accidents, or that wearing a parachute is better than hitting the earth at terminal velocity, or that having hot spikes driven into your ears is better than listening to Rand Paul - it’s self-evident.  Thankfully, most people are not Rand Paul.”  Jimmy Kimmel weighed in with, “The good news is everyone in Rand Paul’s life stays at least 6 feet away from him anyway.”  I’ll do one better, not only 6 feet, I’ll stay out of Kentucky.

I have come to the conclusion that I would get through each day on a more even keel and would suspend any and all eye rolling head shaking movements if I would only stay away from the internet.  As I have stated time and time again that there are so many news items about the insanity of the Republican Party and it’s members that Senator Rand is merely a cog in a clogged up wheel of no motion.  The Party is stagnant from non-movement. They wallow about in nonsense and insensibility.  There is no hope for them.  The past leaders who forged the path for the Grand Old Party would no longer recognize it.  The really bad news is that there are now more folks who are going to turn down the vaccine because they believe the Senators’ rabid rhetoric.  More of the blind leading the blind, or, in this case, the unvaxed leading the unvaxed.  Never before have so few, done so little, for so many.  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...
