SAM AND MARTHA. THESE ARE THE KIND OF PEOPLE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE RULES WE ALL HAVE TO LIVE BY.


ANOTHER HARPY HEARD FROM.

It was bad enough when Americans realized that our lazy Supreme Court Justice, Clarence Thomas, was married to an anti-democracy harridan who was probably influencing his recent anti-constitutional decisions. But now we have learned that our most racist Associate Justice, Samual Alito, is also married to a traitorous Trumpest who not only defended our would-be dictator from her anti-Trump neighbors, but flew our American flag upside down to show her contempt. It seems that Martha Alito took offense at a neighbor's printed criticism of Donald Trump and in a hissy-fit of defiance raised the upside down flag in front of their house. So much for an unbiased court, not that 74-year-old Sammy was ever unbiased or law-abiding since, like Thomas, he was also a freeloader. quick to dash off on any free vacation. Keep in mind this upside down flag was flown days after the insurrection at the Capitol making Alito no more a patriot than those destructive morons sitting in prison. Patriotic Americans have a lot of work to do. We have to get the poisonous Trump out of our lives, clean house at the crooked and mysogynistic Supreme Court, deal with spousal-whipped legislators, and stop ignoring the many assaults, large and small, on our country.

SMASH HIT AND STINKERS.


One of the best streaming services on radio is Sirius XM. And one of the best streaming services on Sirius XM is On Broadway. At least most of the time. But I am astounded at how many shows have been produced on Broadway that just plain suck. There was a time when most shows on The Great White Way promised a good story, wonderful lyrics, and memorable music. No more. So many shows are just rehashed movies or TV shows with mediocre lyrics and discordant music in songs that go on too long and are sceamed more than sung. In the past even good shows like On the Twentieth Century and The Boys from Syracuse had that rare horrid teeth-gritting song like "Veronique" and "Let Antipholus In" but most of the numbers were well worth the cost of admission. But most of the songs I hear on On Broadway are tuneless, tedious, and inconsequential. I can't imagine why anyone would pay $100 or more to see newly created second-rate shows that are nowhere near as entertaining as high school productions of Broadway classics like Damn Yankees, Guys and Dolls, or Pajama Game, I would love to list the shows in the past ten years that I think are absolute dreck and why. But I'd rather mention how thrilling Broadway used to be, like the matinee when  I saw the original production of Ragtime whose opening number was so brilliantly written and fantastically staged that it still plays in my mind twenty-six years later.



LOUDER THAN ANY DOG.

 I live in one of the dumbest states in the Union: Florida. Not only do we have a moronic prude of a governor who is constantly creating idiotic and repressive new laws,  but we have very dumb old laws. For instance peacocks are a protected species. Peacocks! They're not native to Florida. They have no actual value. They're incredibly loud. They steal our pets' food. They foul up our lawns and driveways. And they often jump onto cars leaving scratches from their very sharp and ugly claws. Yet they're protected. How stupid is that? On some days as many as 12 peacocks congregate on my lawn terrifying our outdoor cat while they eat his lunch.  So while our prig of a governor Ron DeSantis bans books that allude to the his most frightening subject, sex; passes laws that allow anyone to carry an unseen and unlicensed gun; and recently created new laws that curb all defense methods against global warming in our already-hotter-than-hell Hades;  he completely ignores the loud, excreting, car-scratching, food-stealing beggars of the why-in-God's-name-are they-protected peacocks.

ONCE A RACIST...


I find it amazing that the national news suggests that Trump may win the votes of America's black men. Why is that even a possibility? With an autocrat and racist like Trump in office, African Americans will suffer more than anyone. He is a proven bigot. How can anyone forget his attack on the Central Park Five? Even when these teens were proven innocent, he still railed against them. His racist attacks against Obama were equally shameful. There are dozens of incidents-all on tape -that show Trump's contempt for blacks, latinos, anyone not white or at least orange like him. Black men have nothing to gain from Trump and everything to lose. The situation would be even direr for black women, his anti-abortion stand just the beginning. Surely these reports about Trump winning over black men are rumors. Why would men with a history of slavery endorse another dictator? They wouldn't. Not ever.

HOT FLASH.

If you're a Jewish woman who suffers from menopause symptoms, there's a new drug on the market that will help you, Since it's made by the greedy pigs at Bayer it costs $500 a month. But here's what you should do. Tell Bayer you want if for $10 a month in recognition of the fact that they provided the gas to the Nazi's that murdered your relatives in the last century. Tell them it's the least they can do to make up for their major role in the holocaust. Since a lot of people don't know how culpable Bayer is, insist you will spread the word if they don't honor your request.

A DISGUSTING AMERICAN THIEF.

Senator Rick Scott of Florida is and has always been a thief, who should be in prison not in Congress.  He has stolen millions in Social Security funds, which allows him to live a lavish lifestyle. He is also a compulsive liar and is running commercials falsely accusing President Biden of promoting socialism. Like all Republicans this evil, bald-headed criminal is out to support Trump's anti-democracy policies which will allow him to steal more millions of America's money. He's taken enough of your money. (His net worth is $132 million.) Don't let him take more. 


"Rick Scott is saying Democrats are committing Medicare robbery, when in fact he's the ultimate Medicare thief. He lost the right to accuse Democrats of raiding Medicare when he oversaw the largest Medicare fraud in the nation's history. Rick Scott's company stole money that should have gone to health care for seniors," said Florida Democratic Party spokesman Joshua Karp in the Feb. 25 press release.
