Do they know we can hear them?

 "When I think of masculinity, this is what I think about.  I mean, look at this titan.  Look at that menace, that mountain of muscle.  I mean, come on.  Those biceps?  Boom.  That fierce look in his eyes.  Outside of the physical characteristics that make David Hogg indistinguishable than a survivor from a concentration camp, the more important component is that he never stands up for core values."  (Charlie Kirk explaining why he finds David Hogg insufficiently Tom of Finland, while off-handedly mocking the survivors of death camps)

"We're gonna have a big celebration, two hundred and fifty years.  In some ways I'm glad I missed the second term where it was, because -- I wouldn't be your president -- for that most important of all in addition we have the World Cup and we have -- the Olympics, can you imagine?  I missed that four years and now, look what I have, I have everything.  Amazing the way things work out.  God did that."  Trump paying tribute to America's war dead at Arlington, Memorial Day)

"This bill cuts $880 billion from Medicaid over a decade."  (Trump's AI and crypto boss David Sacks contradicting him and his other flunkies about the budget bill)

"They knew he had this cancer and they didn't treat it...obviously they were wanting him to die and have the quote first woman president...so if you oppose anything they did, you're against a black woman who was neither black or in my opinion a human being.  I mean, I think she's like a space alien or something."  (Alex Jones lecturing about oncology.  The rest of it is even more disgusting)

"What Vladimir Putin doesn't realize is that if it weren't for me, lots of really bad things would have already happened to Russia, and I mean REALLY BAD.  He's playing with fire!"  (Trump providing Russian state TV with material for tonight's opening monologue)

"I am considering taking THREE BILLION DOLLARS of Grant Money away from a very antisemitic Harvard, and giving it to TRADE SCHOOLS all across our land."  (Trump announcing the opening of Trump A & M)


...on her way to Poland.  No comment.

If you are in need of brain bleach, I recommend Scott Pelley's commencement address at Wake Forest University.

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...
