Slouching toward Bethlehem

 The people who think everything is a Satanic ritual or a Pagan signifier (not the same thing at all) have reported back about the Super Bowl and it's as bad as we feared.  A rapper named Ice Spice (evidently not one of the Spice Girls) sat with Taylor Swift and wore a gold cross, so she's obviously one of Satan's brides.  Secret signs were exchanged and Usher sang in a (simulated) ring of fire.  These are the Final Days, for sure this time.


A little-recognized sign of the apocalypse is the eerie appearance of self-driving vehicles.  To bring on Armageddon, or just to express grief about the 'Niners, some "lunar new year revelers" set fire to this Waymo cab in San Francisco's Chinatown.  Whatever happened to paper dragons and fireworks?  (Why is yoga Satanic but not tai chi?)

Kristina Karamo has warned that just about everyone in pop music is Satanic.  Wait till she hears that even country music, the official soundtrack of patriotism and Jesus, is under siege by Beyonce.  "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages" are already in circulation and her new album will drop (I'm learning the lingo) on March 29.  Yes, Good Friday.

Those amazing Ukrainians are making astonishing art out of Putin's war.  To abandon them would be evil.

I was never a fan of the Muppets, and I for one welcome Louis Chilton's call for letting them "die off."  Come at me.  I dare you.  

Happy Mardi Gras to those who celebrate.  May you find a doll in your slice of King Cake.

I hate the poorly educated...

 ...when they insist on electing one another. There's a halfwit running for governor of  Missour i on a promise to burn books outside the governor's mansion if it's the only way to protect children from "vulgar pornographic material."  It's not clear what set him off, probably The Diary of Anne Frank again.  If his flamethrower is out of gas, he is also open to bulldozing or "launching books into outer space," which is certainly creative.  (The flamethrower may displace the AR-15 as America's National Weapon, depending on how high Biden drives the price of gasoline.)    Book burning is nothing new, Gott weiss,  but its mainstreaming marks a new phase in American barbarism.  We know what we mean by Orwellian and Kafkaesque -- perhaps we need a new word:  Bradburian, and not only for the destruction of books and what they represent.  In Fahrenheit 451  Ray Bradbury posited a future where firemen would start fires instead of putti...

Going out of business

 With polls sounding a death knell and red-hats leaving his rallies like they left the oven on, Trump has dimly seen his future.  That's why Trumpworld is holding a sale on all Bibles, gold sneakers (pre- and post-assassination styles), Victory47 cologne ("My eyes!  My eyes!") and the limited-edition Trump diapers: Get a jump on your Christmas shopping and remember who made it possible to say "Merry Christmas" again with a fabulous  Trump Victory Tourbillon watch,  only $100,000.  Three colors, 122 diamonds, only 147 available.  Or a shoddier version for $499 if you're impoverished by Bidenomics.  Profits will not go to the campaign, the website says, and when has Trump ever lied? "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you were a member of Congress -- but I repeat myself," said Mark Twain, who died in 1910, so maybe it's always been this way.   Tommy Tuberville,  football's worst mistake, thinks Kamala Harris should drop out of the...

Still alive

 The story so far...on the night of September 26 Hurricane Helene ignored the projections and thundered past Georgia, knocking out electricity.  Power was restored late on the afternoon of September 29, but internet took considerably longer.  Today we gave up on Comcast and shelled out for one of those AT&T hotspot deals, and just like that...well, I feel like Sweeney Todd ("At last, my arm is complete again!").  Thanks to MarkS for your words of concern.   I've spent the last four hours trying to catch up.  I can't decide whether two weeks without internet, cable and even radio has been a vacation or a nightmare.  My impression is that everything is the same only more so, politically speaking, possibly a little more surreal.  Are people really refusing FEMA aid because the cult has convinced them it's a plot to a. channel money to cat-eating Haitians, b. a plot to disguise the Democrats' control of the weather, or c. a plot to distract e...
