“It is just as likely that Martin Gugino is an “ANTIFA provocateur” as it is that Trump’s followers are human beings.”

–Mike Pence, not realizing he was on a hot microphone, Prayer Breakfast, Luxton, IL,  June 6th, 2020. Soundtrack to this entry This statement was in apparently response to this appalling incident, among so many others.

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.”

Black Box

I never pay attention to my instagram. I cannot believe that 401 years after black people first entered this country as slaves that I still have to do this.  This means that black people first arrived here 124 years before  Sally Hemings’ owner was born. So, here is my black box.  I don’t think thisContinue reading “Black Box”

I’m not sure how this is going to turn out…

–Mister Thrope, 2020 This entry will have little to no sarcasm, and  it is about something I’ve never had the need to talk much about, given the choices I’ve made in life.  In my experience, black people, out of necessity, know more about white people than white people know about black people.  Between explicit andContinue reading “I’m not sure how this is going to turn out…”

Does my 13 year old realize how morally repugnant these men are?

The Failure of Vlad, Jair, and Donald’s Populism This is worth a read.  I hate to say it, Jair, Don, and Vlad, but you’ll  have to do some  actual work for once, that is, if you want this dissidence  to go away. One can scapegoat until the end of time. But popular support ultimately comesContinue reading “Does my 13 year old realize how morally repugnant these men are?”

“Okay, yes, he is a man. That is, if you also believe that Jan Brady, Paris Hilton, and Veruca Salt were all men.”

–Galina Lada Fedorov, Russian model, former Trump Mistress      Why do working class white men forgive Trump’s unmanly behavior?  Tom Nichols asked this question at the beginning of this piece, and writes some accurate insights regarding a question that I have had throughout this political horror show.  Rather than dispute his explanation, I wouldContinue reading ““Okay, yes, he is a man. That is, if you also believe that Jan Brady, Paris Hilton, and Veruca Salt were all men.””

“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.  I was fortunate, in that I had a light case of it that was goneContinue reading ““It’s just like he said to me once: seat belts cause accidents.

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”

***Letters to the Editor***

“The Voice of The People can be Summarized  as the Reader’s Digest Version of the TV Guide, with a jigger of Supermarket Tabloid, and two  shots of Pornography.” —Vernon Nashe McNair, 1983. 4-28-20 Dear Sir/Madame, It took decades, but finally a U.S. President said something more stupid than my “trees cause pollution” line.    IContinue reading “***Letters to the Editor***”
