Very Early Autumn

Summer Just Left

As The Planet Revolves

Damn, there are some cats in this one.
I've no interest in petty stuff like days, wks., or months, but I do like to keep up w/ the seasons, not that any exist here.

Tired Of It All Tues.

73 wasted yrs. in this world of shit & pain surrounded by brain-dead doody-heads. And summer will be gone w/in an hr.
Just purchased a stupid, indulgent belated birthday gift for myself. Don't feel any better, maybe when it arrives.

This not-eating thing has worked out well: Eight days to the end of the month & even after indulging myself I've over US$600.00 in the credit union & 18 bones in folding money. Not to mention many dollars in quarters saved for laundry but now made superfluous by WASHConnect, which infects one's 'phone.

Can't possibly spend more than 100 bucks on "necessities" between now & the end of the month, so I s'pose I can indulge myself in the 100+ simoleons of turnouts & other railroading junk I need/want. And of course, the more one buys at one time, the more one makes up for shipping costs. Wheeee!

Currently attempting to consolidate, organize & discard some things that have been piled up all over, many of which have ended up on the only flat surface available.
And elsewhere.

Not So Funny Now, Is It?

I'm not just a demon; I'm a Commie Red Demon!

Theo-Fascism On The March!

The New Republic is on it, & it's trouble. Read it.
Holy Wars

We Need to Talk About the Apocalypse

End-times prophecy, pro-war prayer circles, Democrats as demons: Christian dominionism’s influence is everywhere in the second Trump administration—and increasingly, within America itself. Can democracy survive the assault?

“When it comes to something like the relationship between the U.S. and Israel, I think they’ve been incredibly influential,” Taylor told me. “American bombs are accomplishing in the physical realm what they are also trying to accomplish in the spiritual realm.”
These bitches & the sons-thereof might bamboozle Lumpy into nuking us into The Appocalypse. Interestingly, the author doesn't mention that Rafael Cruz (TX Sen. Rafael "Ted" Cruz's parental unit) is a Dominionist.

Not Disappointed

Had no expectations that anyone would even acknowledge my existence for my birthday, & indeed I was not disappointed.

Low Ridin'

Musical Interlude

There are many versions of "Slave Driver".
Wage-slave until you drop dead. Then imagine how cheap your funeral will be in the booming economy. Win-win!

Dr Oz: "I'll give you a number you'll never forget -- if we can get the average American to be so healthy, so with it, so vital that they just want to work a little longer, it's worth a trillion dollars to the US economy"

I'd like to know if Dr. Oz has ever done physical labor in his life. Fuck him & the bullshit economy, which benefits only the already over-monied.

Further hypocrisy: Why aren't Republicans tarring this bastard w/ their Muslim/Islamist brush, as they do to virtually every other Mohammaden? "Making America Healthy Again" sounds like Sharia Law to me.
Brought to our limited attention by MPS.

It's Yom Kippur!

Some people have one hell of a lot of atonement to do for war crimes & slumlording!
And stop believing in stories your ancient ancestors made up about sky-fairies who will forgive your sins & evil already.

State Of The Nation

Trump Turned The Tables Alright

Why do Republicans (& the rest of the world) hate America so much?

Great Minds Thinking Alike

WAR HISTORY ONLINE
Had the very same thought last night. Betty Cracker is a smart person.

The Arc de Participation as Nazi flak tower

I can imagine Trump's Last Stand taking place at his stupid arch.

Amazing Space

Lemme tell ya Doc, it doesn't amaze this reporter any more. He fucking expects it. Cretinous morons, all of them!

Boebert Family Values

Surely No One Is Surprised

Daniel Hampton / Raw Story:
Lauren Boebert accused of sex with three staffers in complaint alleging $200K hush payment  —  An explosive sworn complaint filed with the House Ethics Committee alleges Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) carried on a sexual relationship with her district director in the office
TMZ.com:   LAUREN BOEBERT REJECTS ETHICS COMPLAINT ... Accusing Her of Affairs with Staff, Hush Money Payment
Will no one have uncoerced S-E-X w/ a Republican politican? Could be a problem for them.

The Sheep Look Up

Fall-in-line idiot at the end doesn't quite get how it all works, does he?

Anybody got any diesel?

73 & Counting ...

I can assure you I don't feel a day over 83.
And I'd like to thank all for the sincere good wishes, presents, surprise party & so forth. It's so wonderful to have friends! (Who will cheerfully call the fucking police on me because I was righteously angry. W/ friends like that ...)

Vote For The Candidate
That The Thug Union Opposes

Ted Rall & the LAPD.

LAPD Union Releases Attack Ad Against Nithya Raman’s Campaign

Who asked the dumb bastards for their opinion, & who in hell cares?

Burning Sage Saturday

One classic & a tolerably stupid Todd Rundgren production, recently & often heard over & over & over in truncated &/or covered forms in adverts on the telly.
NB: Hank Snow (The Singing Ranger) is Canadian, b. 1914 in Brooklyn, Nova Scotia. He penned both the above classic* & "I'm Movin' On", which were enough for a lifetime career. Go Canada!!Still don't get it. Are ancient tunes less expensive, or are ad agency music directors admitting that today's music sucks may not even be up to yesterday's drivel?
*Originally from an Australian number. Hank changed the locations.

Friday Night Fun W/ The Big Apple

A very impressive distraction for the end of yet another incredibly stupid wk.Read all about it. Inspiration.

Republicans Should Keep Lying,
But Even Harder, Sez Republican

These deluded buffoons live in a sad fantasy world.

Lies? As Long As They "Resonate", It's Fine

Axios:
House GOP's top messenger: Socialism attack line “doesn't really resonate”  —  House Republicans' top messenger has three pieces of advice for candidates trying to survive the midterms: Call Democrats “communists,” don't gaslight voters on inflation — and trust your district if it tells you to deviate from President Trump.
Republican racist (Redundant?) Bo French has retrieved "Bolshevik" from the dustbin of history.
French has begun to direct his venom Rosenthal’s way. Texas Monthly’s Robert Downen, the foremost chronicler of French’s rise and the Texas far-right, recently reported on a fundraising email from the campaign that accused Rosenthal, who is Jewish, of “mocking Christianity” and compared him to the Bolsheviks who killed Russia’s ruling Romanov family—a trope with a deep antisemitic history.
"Commie Jew Comm-u-niss!"

An Even More Immediate Problem

“Democratic consultants are privately encouraging their battleground candidates to avoid talking about artificial intelligence regulations out of fear that powerful tech groups will unleash a tidal wave of spending against them ahead of November,” Politico reports.
Even more imminent than the robot danger is filthy rich tech group Nazis screwing things up w/ their lying advertising & propaganda. No more private financing of elections, dammit!!

[Political Wire]

Friday Freak Out

Blues Guitars

My life too. Oh, the sufferation.
Bonus live track:

Today's Texan Piece Of Work

What an absolute shithole of ignorant racists.
David French / New York Times:
Watching Bigots Erupt
Tim Murphy / Mother Jones:   Bo French Sent a Tweet So Racist, His Own Party Finally Took Notice. It's Just the Tip of the Iceberg.
The Mother Jones item has more hot poop on Bo French:
In 2025, around the same time the Tarrant GOP demanded Texas leaders acknowledge new Islamic centers as an “invasion” and “dangerous threat,” French polled his X followers: “Who is a bigger threat to America?” The two choices: “Muslims” and “Jews.”
Of course he's astoundingly ignorant:
To the extent that his candidacy is focused on the Texas Railroad Commission at all, it is because French believes the oil industry, too, must be purged of “the influence of radical Islam.” French, who did not respond to a request for comment, referred to Jim Wright, the Republican commissioner he defeated, as “Jihadi Jim” and alleged that Wright’s ties to a Saudi-owned company’s petrochemical facility had allowed “Islamic values and laws” to infiltrate the commission.
Bo's 90+ yrs. late on that. And RNS looks at football as religion & identity in Texas.

State Of The Nation: Beat To Shit

What? You think mature male citizens aren't fucking sick & tired of the Gawddam non-stop bullshit too?

I've noticed plenty of exhaustion: Uno, dos, tres, cuatro, cinquo.

In conclusion, we're all exhausted:

Sure, I'll Believe Anything

Fox News:
GOP lawmakers pump brakes on Trump's $5K check promise: ‘Where are you getting the money?’  —  President Donald Trump's promise of a big payout for Americans if Republicans win the midterms is getting a rocky reception on Capitol Hill.  —  Several Republicans outright oppose the $5,000 check promise …
Matt Weidinger / Washington Examiner:   Don't count on those $5,000 Trump dividend checks
Count in one hand & crap in the other; see which piles up sooner: Shit, or Fat Donnie's bribe money. Cultist cretins & suckers. It'd be funny if any of the chumps figured it out. They couldn't be any denser.

More Republican Nazis

Or Are They Nazi Republicans?

This is a joke, you dumb bastards. Like, humor, man.The Handbasket found new ones & goes into depth about some already mentioned.
