BROADWAY BOMBS.

Having watched the 75th Annual Tony Awards Sunday night, I can truthfully say I have never seen so many hideous gowns or mediocre Broadway performances. I am astounding that so many celebrities had friends who allowed them to be seen I such comical outfits, often designed to show off their breasts in a manner far from classy. And the shows! Has Broadway ever seemed so lackluster. MJ presented expert dancers in a predictable ho-hom number. Billy Crystal was an embarrassment with his cornball number in which he begged a hostage audience to participate in a dippy forgettable song. Worst of all was heaping praise on the mediocre director of the new unnecessary Company who apparently approved of that claustrophobic box set in which the principles gave a boring rendition of the opening number supposedly featuring  the "breakthrough" Bobbi, an actress complete devoid of any beauty or charisma in an absurd red dress. Considering the combined experience of the audience (lots of empty seats) I can only assume the applause was out of politeness and they went home as horrified as I am, more so because they had to sit through the whole dismal show, and I left after one torturous hour.

NO PROGRESS AT ALL.

 These supposed new gun laws are of no value at all.Without a ban on assault weapons there is no progress. How can Congress believe that there is anything acceptable about permitting the purchase of guns whose only use is to slaughter human beings? It's obviously insane to the rest of the world, but our incompetent Congress, both Republican and Democrats ignore the absurdity of such weapons. So today, while idiotic legislators proclaim a victory in gun laws, hidden
murderers are still joyful that their weapons of choice are still readily available to the most insane and clever of haters, like Rittenhouse who is being feted and admired for murdering two innocent men,

Growing old.

Feeling old.

Nothing works the way it should.

Used to say, “I’m feeling fine.”

Now I answer, “Not so good.”

Aching bones.

Burning feet.

Falling hair and failing sight.

Seven pills to start the day,

Three more every night.

Forgetting things.

Regretting things.

Growing old’s no fun.

The only consolation is

I’m not the only one.

 

 

MEN NOT MINDING THEIR OWN BUSINESS.

 The big news this week seems to be that Justice Alito has come out with some kind of unwelcome opinion on Roe vs. Wade. First of all he should keep his opinions to himself as should any man. Abortion is a women's issue and only women have any right to comment on it, not men, and certainly not elderly old fools or ignorant misogynists like DeSantis. Also anti-abortion is a religious issue, one not covered by the Bible, but only by sanctimonious bigoted Christians. And since we are supposed to separate religion from government, the subject should never be brought up at all. Studies show that most American woman are pro-choice. What do I think? Who the fuck cares? I'm male, and not entitled to an opinion.

The American Dream

 

I can’t believe

I’m slaving for

An electric eye

On the garage door,

For a billiard table

And a dozen cues

Which we had to have

But never use.

It’s hard to accept

I’m breaking my back

For a summer home

No more than a shack,

For three TVs,

And a new golf cart,

For a  microwave and a Cuisinart.

I’m paying six stores

And three bank loans

So my kids can talk

On their private phones.

So the neighbors can say

What a beautiful lawn.

While I worry my way

Toward another dawn.

It started out as a 

 wonderful scheme,

Working for the

  American dream.

But there’s a crack in the dream

And it’s getting wider

What’s so good about being

A good provider?

                                 

I have read that Madison Cawthorn, before his accident, deliberately made passes at girls in his car, knowing they would turn him down. Thus when they complained about his behavior he would be seen as being straight without having to prove it. I guess he assumed correctly that most Republicans were homophobic. Hmmm maybe that unlikely invitation to an orgy was just some colleagues testing him. 

RON THINKS HE'S ENTITLED TO RULE EVERYONE.

 WOULD-BE AMERICAN DICTAT0R 

He's responsible for increasing Florida taxes by attacking The Disney Corp; the deaths of thousands of adults and children because of his anti-mask propaganda; creating the worst book-banning campaign since the Nazis; and threatens to turn gay rights back decades because of his rabid homophobia. Like Hitler, he's a very common man driven to gain power at any cost. Vote for him at your own peril.
