They know that they’re dishonest; you know that they’re dishonest. They just want to rub your nose in it, the inability that you have to punish them for it.
About the election? I think Trump wins. Easily. Doesn’t mean he’ll take office though. Unless it’s really obvious, I expect the Ds to try everything to keep him out.
There is a mural on the corner in Winslow, Arizona, commemorating this musical event. And they play the song on continual loop. Hey, it’s better than the Shipwreck Miseum on Lake Superior. There they have, “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,” on endless loop. (They also have the bell from the Edmund Fitzgerald, recovered when searchers located the wreck. They placed a new bell with the names of the crew back down in the wreck).
The meme about “who wrote this garbage?” Um, yeah. My first novel – won’t ever try those tricks again. Also went back and looked at some of the stuff in my clippings file. I am so glad I got past that phase. And that I burned the stuff I wrote in high school.
Some of the cringeworthy stuff I wrote is still published, though. Hopefully it never sees the light of day again. I don’t even use that pen name anymore.

That one about going as the Council of Nicaea was inspired. And I’ll be thinking of all the songs that have “girl” in them, like “Squirrels Just Want To Have Fun.”
Just saw the squirrel thing at Small Dead Animals.
Remember back in May, when the Doge died of natural causes and it instantly became international news?
12 cops, four NY state departments and a five hour search warrant service, with guns out, to grab one (1) squirrel. And then they -kill- the SUPER FAMOUS squirrel immediately, as soon as they have their hands on it.
A couple of days before the election? Rrrrrealy? They really went there?
It’s like the universe itself has decided that #Kamalot can’t be allowed to happen.
Once upon a time, I worked for an indie pro wrestling company. It was hilariously bad, fun, horrifying, and edifying. Cleanup routinely lasted until almost 2am. Right around the time the bars closed.
So it happens that the gay bar in that city was about two blocks from the Waffle Hut, and the ring house was about two blocks in the other direction. Every Saturday night, these two groups would descend upon the tiny little innocent purveyor of tasty waffles.
From this contest of testosterone fueled shenanigans comes the “girlfriend, hold my shoes” story, the cops vs furries story, the cake story, and explosive toilet story. We routinely got kicked out every now and then before they’d call us back in (we were probably half the reason that location stayed in the black). The cooks and waitresses knew us all by name, and we knew all their horror stories.
There were the ‘coons in the dumpster, the stalker that wasn’t, the electrifried possum is not food incident, the redneck yachting club, and the greater will hath no woman stories from those ladies.
You want to learn spoken storytelling, sit a spell in a Southern Waffle Hut when the Tall Tales get spinnin’. Late nights, early mornings, poor people drama, and young folk shenanigans. You learn a lot about life working with folk like that.
That one New Jersey early voter who voted in her bra (because you can’t wear a political shirt within 500 feet of the polls, even if it’s a fetching MAGA shirt and hat ensemble) is going to be a mighty meme.
Some people say they’d crawl over broken glass or walk through lava to vote for Trump.
Some people vote for Trump looking like an old Maidenform bra ad… and good for her.
Apparently… there are vastly different state laws about “electioneering” near the polls, and New York State allows you to wear almost whatever stuff you like. So it’s possible that this woman didn’t always live in New Jersey
The NY Post had an interesting article about the lady and about the various electioneering rules. I laughed so hard when I saw the sign saying you only had to worry about it “30 feet” from the polls! Seriously, the rules are very very different!
And this probably explains a lot about why some of various out-of-state activists are always getting in trouble around polling places in Ohio. Holy crud. Here’s our normal party folks standing waaaaay out in the parking lot, or down the sidewalk a loooong way from the door; and there’s the out-of-staters, thinking they can stand right up next to where people are entering! Ha, what a big difference!
There was the case that went to the Supreme Court about whether sporting the Second Amendment on a T-shirt counted. (Remember that one? The lawyer said it was but that a First Amendment one would not be.)
Honestly, when I worked at a polling location, the most we’d do is point toward a bathroom and tell them to turn it inside out.
We did get to bust someone for actual electioneering once—handing out “how you should vote” to people in line. Nope, not okay. They left without a fight or us having to arrest them, and we took around a small trashcan for people to drop those guides into. (This was the same election that I was floating between two polling locations at the same address because of incremental district differences, and was assisting the blind in filling out ballots. Mainly because I am a Not Any Party person, and as such, seen as non-partisan. So I may have filled out every side of every issue in the end.)
I am disappointed that the First Council of Nicaea didn’t have any eyepatches, simulated Roman prosthetics, or gruesome simulations of scars and arm stumps. No emaciation from ascetical practices, either.
I mean, we know they looked like the freaking walking wounded, since it was only about twenty years after a major persecution that almost all the Council Fathers had lived through. There’s a moving description of this by Eusebius.
Also, the possible/apocryphal attendance of St. Nicholas was neglected, which gives me the sads.
I can’t tell which one is Arius and which one is St. Athanasius. But I’m sure they had fun.
Actually, the Flood, as described, would have first killed all the fish in the rivers and lakes when they were flooded with salt water, then killed the fish in the oceans when they were diluted by rain. There wouldn’t be any fish today.
That Martian Fighting Machine is from the cover of Jeff Wayne’s 1978 ‘War Of The Worlds’ album.
Any dark web searches for current locations for “Monica Keasler” or “Karen Przyklek” aligned with displacements of suspected RLF strike assets to NY state are completely coincidental.
Do -not- get buffaloed into stupid acts. Remember who and what we are. Discern the intent behind the froth-mouthed shrieking. (including what will of course be posted here. Hi Fred. Hi Xi. Hi Vlad. Go fish.)
The only thing needed to be done immeditely is to remain calm. We have all the time we need to do and to repair whatever we decide.
We have the rest of our lives to solve any problems. Dont rush.
