Republicans have always been despicable to me.  But they did seem to stick to their insistence that the rule of law, at least the laws that they have always cherished, was critical to an ordered society.  So why exactly did this happen?  Redefining the word “fool” in Oklahoma.  Apparently,  one law theyContinue reading ““If God intended fatuous people to have money, he would not have made me a greedy hornswoggler”.”

–Natalie Quinn Hemphill, 1903. What can I say at this point?  Prior to the pandemic, I had been working part time.  I’ll tell you more about work later.  Prior to that, I went back to my novel and finally finished the thing.  I’ve only convinced one, out of the ten or so people to whomContinue reading ““New Beginnings are Joyous.

A Little Lynching is Nothing to be Shy about

Small Alabama Editor Advocates for the Klan to Lynch Democrats We have here further evidence that the forth Civil War has begun.  In this case it was tapped out by editor Goodloe Sutton.   Writing such as this makes the rational, open minded, decent socialist in me glad that I have a .357 magnum.   Still, though,Continue reading “A Little Lynching is Nothing to be Shy about”

Paraphrase: Idiocy Can Get Halfway Around the World, Before Good Sense can Tie its Shoes

(Chicago) This is really what he wants.   It’s the barrier that Israel has erected around the West Bank, a monument to its reservation system that should look real familiar to American Natives.  I’ll get to Israel’s Genocide System soon.  Suffice now to say that it is so similar to the American System that I feelContinue reading “Paraphrase: Idiocy Can Get Halfway Around the World, Before Good Sense can Tie its Shoes”
