A) Women’s rights are drying up more quickly than Lake Meade. This process has been catalyzed with Republican support for the kind of misogynistic myths that would warm the heart of Phylis Schlafly.

How many half-wit, knuckle-dragging, cousin-f*cking red-necks does it take to spread Covid-19?
Soundtrack for this entry: Baby Blue Just one with the virus, no mask, and an ignorant attitude. And they have half a stadium full. Enjoy, troglodytes. Also from my twitter, regarding the slack-jawed, gun toting celibates at the rally: Let’s allow natural selection do the heavy lifting from here. Another thought: Maybe the many Continue reading “How many half-wit, knuckle-dragging, cousin-f*cking red-necks does it take to spread Covid-19?”
“In twenty years, the word, “trump” will have evolved into a verb that means, “to ruin something beyond repair.” The World War Two generation often used its synonym: SNAFU.”
–Araceli Elizabeth Perez, Winner of two consecutive Phineas Gage Awards for political writing. Letters to the Editor: Soundtrack for today’s entry: Listen Dear Sirs: When I wrote about the meat packing industry, I didn’t realize how viscerally people would react to runaway disease in a meat packing plant. Instead of emphasizing that people’s Spam contained dissolvedContinue reading ““In twenty years, the word, “trump” will have evolved into a verb that means, “to ruin something beyond repair.” The World War Two generation often used its synonym: SNAFU.””
Fear and Loathing in America: 2020, the Reign of President Caligula, and Bottomless Pinheadery 101.
New Feature: Soundtrack for today’s entry: RevCo I’m getting tired of documenting what happens in this world now. Pay for a decent, reputable news source, and get real news. I’m still something of an Anglophile, so I read the U.S. edition of The Manchester Guardian and the BBC. This is what’s on my mind. ExhibitContinue reading “Fear and Loathing in America: 2020, the Reign of President Caligula, and Bottomless Pinheadery 101.”
This really is an awful virus
Soundtrack for this entry: When, when, when…. Back when the pandemic first began to spread, Wifey had to accompany her sister to fetch her son from NYU. It was at that time already a hot spot. She came back a few days later, and even though we were cautious I still picked it up. I wasContinue reading “This really is an awful virus”
“It’s just like he said to me once: seat belts cause accidents. I’m glad people are finally following Donnie’s logic.”
–Wade Purvis Spencer, The President’s half brother by his father’s former mistress, Cody Lee Spencer With the exception of the above quotation, what I describe in this post happened. I tested positive for Covid-19 on March 25th of this year.

Letters to the Editor III
“A great example of a moving picture trope is when an incredible idiot is put into a challenging job, and then has to deal with a crisis. Take Charlie Chaplin in Modern Problems. It never fails to kill the people.” –Anton Rodriguez Fowla, Producer, Movie Maggic, inc., 1927 Dear Madam/Sir, I always calledContinue reading “Letters to the Editor III”
Cartoons. If only I could draw.
Today, I’m going to shut the futz up (I’ve recently resolved to cut out cursing from any(snicker) serious work I write). Instead, I’m going to post some excellent cartoons about the current state of affairs. All cartoons courtesy of Politico.

–Blair “The Tooth” Richter at the Valachi hearings, 1963 !!!Exclusive interview!!!: Bittersweet Abattoir: What can you tell us about the Covid-19 conspiracy? TTH: I admit it. There IS a conspiracy to foist this fake disease upon you. I know, because it is my plot. I started it, and it wasn’t easy. I first had toContinue reading “Richter: “Who’s the ringleader?

**Letters to the Editor II**
“I sometimes wonder about how many papers Trump copied off of other kids at school, how many tests he cheated on, how many big kids he kissed up to, how many smaller kids he bullied. Other times, the answer is clear: all of them. Araceli Elizabeth Perez, Winner of 2 consecutive Phineas Gage awards forContinue reading “**Letters to the Editor II**”
