A TRAITOR IN THE COCKPIT

An unpatriotic Southwest pilot announces a code expression for "Fuck Joe Biden." The news reports Biden's popularity ratings drop dramatically. This is madness. Why is a kind-hearted decent man like Biden who has devoted his whole life to his country vilified, while millions of reason-blind fools still champion a greedy opportunist like Trump?  Why are people opposed to a honest, moral  president who is doing everything possible to help the poor and middle class? Why does decency and kindness bring animosity and ridicule? And why does President Trump, a lying criminal gain respect from persons he despised and never lifted a finger to help? America claims to be a mostly Christian country. No more. We have drifted as far from Christianity from any religion as possible by embracing lies, scams, cruelty, and an admiration for low-life braggarts, cheats, and thieves. I'm sure right now Joe Biden is working on plans to make that Southwest pilot's life easier and less stress-free. But all that ungrateful and ignorant yahoo can say in response is the cowardly code expression, "Let's go Brandon" which means "Fuck Joe Biden" words this flying unpatriotic worm wasn't courageous enough to say. If the airlines does the right thing and fires him, his family will get by with the aid of programs created by the Democrats, something he will never appreciate.

There are only two honorable Republicans in Congress and one of them says he will not run again. This is terribly deflating news for those who believe in democracy. But we cannot blame Adam Kinzinger. After all two sound pillars cannot support a crumbling centuries-old edifice.

KAREN HAS A RIVAL..

Bless Jimmy Kimmel for pointing out Tucker's petulant attack on Biden's cough and suggesting the male (ha) version of Karen should be Tucker (or did he say Carlson?). I don't think Fox realizes what a negative force Tucker is becoming with his constant whining, endless lies, and absurd theories, despite his many maniacal fans. Even they are going to get tired of his baseless back fence style gossiping and bitching.  

SUPERFLOUOUS

COMMENTARY

"The one reason why Donald 

Trump is guaranteed to run for 

president"

Every year there are thousands of articles with headlines much like this one. And for some bizarre reason the authors of those articles don't seem to realize that the  word "why" is totally unnecessary. Take out the superfluous why and the meaning is the same. It drives me mad, but I'm sure this worthless why will not disappear any time soon, if ever.

 

THE NUMBER ONE DEMAND.

One thing I find very troubling in America today, perhaps the world, is that everyone is expected to have a computer and be proficient in its use.  In order to get a booster shot, for instance, I am instructed to contact a computer address and fill out all kinds of information. Being a Luddite I can do that, but with difficulty. But there are still thousands, maybe millions of Americans, poor Americans, elderly Americans , just plain stubborn Americans who don't have a computer or don't find it simple to use.  How do they schedule the vaccinations that the government insists are so important? Yet these people are constantly asked to go to this or that computer address to buy tickets, make hotel reservations, find repair persons, make medical appointments or check your medical results, and hundreds of other reasons. Companies rarely promote their address anymore and often hide their phone number. We have become an increasingly computerized and antisocial country. The general message today seems to be, "Go out and buy an expensive computer and learn to use it or you don't belong in society."

OBSCENE GREED IS NOT FUNNY

Most Americans would be thrilled and feel completely secure to have a million dollars. Anyone with ten million dollars would be more than set for life. Then why is it that those fortunate Americans who possess a billion dollars, which is a thousand million dollars are so unwilling to pay higher taxes? Does being rich bring with it a sickness, an uncontrollable greed, a Scrooge McDuck desire to horde every dollar? And why are the Republicans always so eager to cater to this sickness? Is it because they lie and cheat and graft to reach that level of wealth themselves. It's all so incomprehensible. But most confusing of all is why millions of hard-working poor and middle-class Americans don't seem to begrudge these avaricious billionaires their right to an obscene wealth that should be shared. They keep voting for the Republicans who are constantly legislating to keep them powerless and giving short shrift to the Democrats who support all the programs designed to make their lives easier, more profitable, and more successful. It's time to wise up and recognize your true friends.

TOTALLY PREDICTABLE.

 There are very few things that are guaranteed. But when Alec Baldwin suffered the horror of having accidentally shot cinematographer Halyna  Hutchins it was guaranteed that Donald Trump Jr., the desperately insecure son of America's worse president would find a sick joy in the tragedy. Of course it didn't go unnoticed and even the New York Daily News gave Jr. front page coverage as the  SPAWN OF HATIN. One wonders if any of Trump's Children of the Corn has even a shred of humanity as it appears that the whole passel of pathetic losers only exist to praise and defend their evil father for their place in his will.

ATTENTION L.A. COPS

Florida's Governor Ron DeSantis is offering signing bonuses for L.A.  cops who refuse to get vaccinated. If that means you, you may be tempted. I've lived in L.A. and Florida and the Golden State beats the Sunshine State any day. Florida is brutally hot, horribly flat, and incredibly boring unless you live at the beach. But forgetting all that, moving to Florida to avoid getting vaccinated for Covid is suiicidal. DeSantis doesn't care if you die. He's already sent hundreds to their graves with his bullshit theories. The guy is a nut and a pathetic opportunist. He has no problem luring you to Florida, bribing you with taxpayer money and having you and your family play Russian roulette with the Covid virus if he can win another pyrrhic victory in the news. California has lakes, mountains, ski slopes, Hollywood, the Pacific Ocean, and a myriad of scenic wonders.  The Sunshine State has endless sunshine and little else. Okay, it does have Disney World, but you have DisneyLand, so why move? Get vaccinated and live.

FLORIDA SERIAL KILLER STILL AT LARGE.

I go to a local cafe to buy Cuban coffee. I am particularly fond of one of the servers behind the counter. Today I asked if she had been fully vaccinated and she made it clear that no and she doesn't intend to be. Since she is over 50, not in great health, and deals with dozens of people every day I imagine she will get Covid and possibly die from it, as have so many others. I considered pitching the benefits of vaccination, but decided against it  As much as I like her, I have to accept she is another one of those ignorant people stubbornly clinging to some bizarre belief based on nothing. I wonder if her eventual and very likely death will be another one we can chalk up to our governor Ron De Santis. It's a pity that there are some forms of mass murder one can get away with.

THE MOST UNWATCHABLE COMMERCIALS.

 Having been an award-winning copywriter for 40 years, I feel I can nominate, without fear of contradiction, Liberty Mutual commercials as the most unimaginative and irritating commercials of all time. Every one of them is annoying, made more so by how often they are run. The jump rope spot is creepy, the Afghan spot is repulsive, the new dance spot is mindless, and the endless Limu Emu commercials are unwatchable and have me constantly changing channels. Doug has got to be the seediest, most unattractive and unappealing spokesman ever, and the treadmill spot more maddening than the Chinese water torture. Geico is bad enough with some good spots, some bad. But Liberty Mutual has nothing but bad spots. Sad that the Statue of Liberty has to be party to such mediocrity.

 I despise Kyrsten Sinema as you probably guessed from several recent posts.  But I feel I haven't vented enough venom for this selfish egomaniacal Senator, so I encourage any of my possible readers and Sinema haters to go to the always brilliant and vulgar blog of The Rude Pundit, his post Kyrsten Sinema Is Getting Off on This captures the madness of this unworthy and unpatriotic harridan. Enjoy.

Matt Gaetz, he of the huge head, has given himself, Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene the unlikely nickname of "the pro American squad". What an absurd name for three of the most traitorous scabs in the American Congress. Each one of them has sullied the American reputation repeatedly, made frequent anti-democracy speeches and proven to be an enemy of decent government and the American way. Forgetting, if possible, his sexual liaisons with underage girls, Gaetz and his boyfriend Jim Jordan have ridiculed the super-decent president Biden and praised the always turdacious Trump with the girlish enthuasiam of 12-year olds. As these boys sashayed mischievously through the halls of Congress, the butch assault-rifle twins Lauren and Marge strutted angrily through those same halls spreading their anti-American venom. "The Pro-American Squad" I would suggest "The Three Blind Lice."

SADISTIC SENATOR

One of the reasons America is in dire danger is that our government is riddled with idiotic hypocrites like Arizona Senator Kirsten Cinema, a Republican disguised as a Democrat, and not convincingly. This heartless bimbo doesn't have a clue what she really wants, other than to be the center of attention no matter what it costs her constituents. She is an arrogant shrew who acts as if the money being allocated to help average Americans were coming out of her pocket. She is a selfish narcissistic harridan who has no kindness, no empathy, and essentially no value to the misguided Arizona voters who stupidly put her in office. Every bit as vainglorious as the moronic Manchin, she, like him, tries to keep up the pretense that she is a serious thinking politician when she is in fact just an petty obstructionist punishing everyone for her pathetic childhood.

GUESSING GAME

Can you guess what person in the news looks like they haven't showered in weeks, and probably smells to high heaven? This is a person who you would take for a homeless derelict if he weren't so famous or infamous. He's a person so disheveled and seedy one can't imagine how he ever achieved anything in society.  A clue: He always has a shit-eating grin which suggests he is very proud of his ratty appearance. Another hint: his morals are just as unclean as he is. 

"MY OBJECT ALL SUBLIME"

 Nikolas Cruz has pleaded guilty to murdering 17 students at Marjorie Stoneman Douglas School in hopes of avoiding the death penalty. Not only do I think this monster should be put to death, but I would recommend such past punishments as burning at the stake or being drawn and quartered. We must stop giving humane punishments for inhuman crimes. This person is a worm, a demon, a heartless piece of excrement. I am totally in favor of capital punishment, especially for serial killers and mass murderers like Cruz. Maybe crime is so rampant because punishment is so gentle. (a semi-private room and three meals a day)I am all for severe penalties for scam artists, abusive parents, and anyone guilty of animal cruelty.  

Gilbert had it right, "Make the punishment fit the crime."

I PROTEST,

Apparently although millions of gay and straight men and woman object to the use of the word queer, myself included, many organizations couldn't care less. They, for some bizarre reason, have decided to embrace a term that has long been used in derision against gay people and is still widely used to express hatred and revulsion.  How clever they must feel to employ such a loathsome word as a term of pride—a reasoning that's way beyond logical. I can't speak for the general public or all the gay men today who still cringe at the cruel epithet no matter how it is used, but I do know many of these militant gays  have little else to recommend them other than their sexual differences. It is unlikely they will ever recognize just how stupid and  offensive the term queer is no matter how giddy it makes so many masochistic professional gays. Here is a list of organizations, if they existed, who would applaud their stand as it essentially the same thing. CUNTS for female equality—KIKES against anti-Semitism—SPICS to promote Hispanic acceptance—GOOKS for Asian Charities—WOPS opposed to Italian stereotypes—CHINKS for Chinese/America relations—RETARDS battling mental illness—KRIPS for better handicap facilities—. I won't even use the N word as I find it every bit as offensive as the brainless word “queer”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE TRUTH ABOUT THE VACCINE

I know this is going to be hard for many people to accept. Especially now that we are hearing about to so many police officers giving up their jobs rather than getting the Covid vaccine. It's true all these strong, beefy strapping men actually willing to abandon their roles as officers of the law rather than getting a vaccine that has been proven to be safe and life saving.. How is it possible that anyone would refuse to be vaccinated when it could prevent you from getting Covid, suffering alone in a frightening hospital ward and eventually dying alone far from any friends or family? There is only one logical answer. Only one. These holdouts aren't concerned about efficacy or developing some unexpected side effects. They are all just afraid of needles. 

WAY BEYOND DUMB.

Eric, Eric, Eric, how many times do I have to tell you? Don't comment about anything. You always get it wrong and make a total fool of yourself. Complaining about Biden visiting his home was beyond stupid. Try to remember how often your father played golf, how seldom he did the job we paid him for, and how badly he failed when he attempted to work. You always come across as a whiny spoiled brat. Nobody takes you seriously except your bimbo wife. Stay out of the limelight and avoid the ridicule. As the spoiled scion of a spoiled scion, you are an absurd figure without an ounce of moral authority. We know all about your charity ripoffs, your petulant tantrums, your desperate need for daddy's love. Trust me, you will never be a respected public figure. Cut your losses. Stop looking for attention now.

DENNIS SAYS HE WANTED COVID.

Conservative pundit Dennis Prager has Covid. He claims he got it on purpose, thus admitting that he is suicidal. Sadly Dennis is another one of those delusional morons who refuses the protection of being vaccinated and finds some kind of idiotic heroism in facing the demon Covid and losing. I'm sure there are many conservative conspiracy nuts out there who would be very sad it Prager dies from Covid. But I get the feeling that Dennis would consider death, no matter how painful, as a kind of victory.

"WHO SAYS I'M NOT BUTCH?"

Tucker Carlson is obviously homophobic and would be very offended if anyone suggested he was gay. He seems obsessed with portraying himself as a married and straight family man. But at the same time he's a petty, bitchy gossip whose behavior is far from what is considered manly.  Tucker's recent snipe at the very masculine Pete Buttigieg was about as pissy and go girl as one would see outside of a drag competition. 

Someone I know died  last night. He wasn't a friend, but the brother of a friend, someone whose company I enjoyed because he was so funny, so outrageous, and so full of life. Sadly he was also full of theories, conspiracies, and misconceptions. And, being a Republican, he subscribed to the insane myth that covid vaccinations are unnecessary and possibly even a plot to gain control of our minds. His friends and family, being realistic pushed for him to have the vaccinations. He was almost convinced until other friends convinced him otherwise. If he had been vaccinated, the covid virus would have been mild, not the savage fury that assaulted all his organs, required his being in an induced coma for nearly a month, kept apart from persons he loved, and eventually dying alone without a comforting word or loving companion. He was only 55 years old. He never thought he would get the virus and die, but he did. If you know someone who refuses to be vaccinated, they may face the same fate. If they do, I'd like to say I feel sorry for them, but I don't. I think they're about as stupid as a person can be.

THROUGH MEADOWS OF GARBAGE.

Isn't it great when you suspect someone is a slime-ball and then you get confirmation that you're right. It's so great when you see someone trying to be affable and you just know they are a disgusting, insincere, worthless piece of garbage. And in no time a credible someone testifies that you are absolutely right on and that person you dislike just couldn't be more unlikable, dishonest, deceptive and  butt-kissing. And the cherry on the sundae is knowing that another person who you also detest, Trump, thinks that Meadows smells  like a rose when you know he stinks to high heaven.

 Southern bigots

Are terribly torn

Between their hatred of women

And passion for porn.

Another fact

That should merit your scorn:

They despise poor children

But adore the unborn.

LIGHTS OUT.

While I still have a handful of pages to read in I'll Take Your Questions Now I'm pretty much finished with this tell-all book, which didn't tell as much as it could. As I said, I hated the glowing comments about Melania though they did become harsher toward the end. Ivanka deservedly was portrayed as a vain, intrusive and selfish bitch, though her effete husband Jared was even more of a diva or as the author described him a "Rasputin in a slim-fitting suit". Someone who really sounds evil (Trump is more stupid and unhinged than evil) is Mark Meadows, a true turd of a person which was just as I suspected. There was very little mention of Pence, which is about right. Stephen Miller came across as a creep as did John Bolton, no surprise in either case. And overall I would say it was a fun read that didn't tell you much you didn't know, but did remind you that we must never again allow this clown with his many character- impaired mediocrities to soil the White House. Stephanie covered election night, but didn't tell us just how crestfallen Trump was. Also the later part of the book included some true confessions, a pet saga, and a travelog/home repair tale from Kansas. Happily the book ended with an appropriate number of regrets and an awareness of what is happening to the Republican Party. I can't imagine how this Carnival will be portrayed in history books(videos? tours?) 25 years from now, but I am sure Trump's grave will become of America's most popular "watering" spots.

GOOD PRICKS AND BAD PRICKS.

 L.A. Sheriff, Alex Villanueva, is shown here throwing up his hands in a helpless gesture suggesting that he will not force his employees to get vaccinated. I imagine this supposed unwillingness to require vaccines represents his own stubborn and ignorant belief. I wonder what excuse he will come up with when many of the employees under his rule get covid and die. Never have so many people been so willingly uninformed and suicidal. To think two tiny pricks may save your life and help you avoid dying along while gasping for breath. More and more I think the problem isn't suspicion of the vaccine so much as a childish fear of the needle.

TALES OF A BADMINISTRATION

I am reading I'll Take Your Questions Now by Stephanie Grisham which is the tell-all it promised to be, but not sure it was worth $28. I'm only half-finished but so far I find it a bit annoying that she is praising Melania as if she were a worthwhile innocent instead of a gold- digging parvenue whose nude photos are accessible on the Internet. She does point out how camera hungry, vain, and worthless Ivanka and Jared are, which is satisfying. Ms. Grisham keeps hinting that her loyalties may change in the remainder of the book. I hope so, since so far this account is closer to a valentine than an indictment. Especially since she praises such detestable liars as Sean Spicer and Sara Huckabee Sanders. I'll keep you posted.

This morning at 9 am, my TVs in the living room and kitchen weren't working. The black defunct screen said "Sorry, we're having trouble" and promised to fix it as soon as possible. When I turned the TV on at 8pm tonight, the problem was still there. This wasn't unusual with Comcast. While they often have problems, they never give you a discount on the bill for the outages. They are a very inept company, but I am told the competition isn't any better. So unless we consumers get more choices, we're stuck with one or more cable provider who is often "sorry".  

Now that his wife has breast cancer, maybe Governor DeSantis will appreciate how disturbing it is to have someone in your family suffering from something that could kill them like Covid 19.  

UNFIXABLE?

 Have you ever used Angie's List? It used to be helpful. Now it's called Angi, and it sucks. Yes, it may still have qualified companies listed on it. But it has become another greedy, pushy, complicated company, purchased by an equally incompetent service The Home Advisor. For instance Angi hides their phone number, making it impossible to reach a human being. This was especially annoying to me since they made an appointment for appliance repair that I didn't ask for. Also they sent me three exorbitant quotes for a dryer repair without even knowing the problem. Fortunately a local repair service (not with Angi)  told me there was no problem; I just had a clogged air vent. I personally will never work with Angi again. On the Internet, it's still trying to pretend that it's the dependable Angie's List. It isn't. It's Angi and it's a flop that needs some major repair.

Not many people will agree with me, but I think the popular game shows JEOPARDY and WHEEL OF FORTUNE are a bit sadistic. On WHEEL when the winner tries to solve the final puzzle and fails, they lose a ton of money or a car. This has got to haunt them for ages or, worse, subject them to verbal abuse from a spouse or friends who thought the puzzle was easy. Sadistic. Now the news is praising Matt Amodio for winning so many games and making so much money. Though he is one of the most agreeable and modest winners, I see his victory differently. He obviously has a photographic memory, which is a gift not a skill. And every night he comes up against two other players with high hopes who go home with their hopes dashed. Every night, game after game, two optimistic players face ignominious defeat. Is that really entertaining for Jeopardy fans? It sure isn't for me. I have stopped watching Jeopardy and won't tune in again until Matt Amodio, nice as he is, is defeated. 

CAPTAIN CONCEIT

Who are these stingy old ladies like Manchin who act as if Federal funds were coming out of their personal clutch purses. Did you see the news clip of the kayakers approaching him on his yacht?  He loves living in undeserved luxury, but denies millions of Americans even a modicum of comfort. What a hypocritical pig.
