My introduction post.

Old hippie raised in #SoCal w/6 siblings. Lived in #Maine, #Colorado, #Iowa, #Wisconsin. Went to 12 schools in 12 years. Had many jobs -- from building boats to making screws (really), from retail to short order cook, from newspaper editor to magazine publisher, from freelance writer to photographer.

I swear a lot; fucking get over it. Liberal & atheist.

It's the guns, stupid.

Hey, media folks! Where did Epstein go? He was here a day ago, now Poof!

Oh, and did you know there was a school shooting in Evergreen, CO? Yeah, kids died.

It wasn't long ago that a Democratic member of the Minnesota House named Melissa Hortman was politically targeted and was gunned down with her husband and dog in their own home. Did you forget? Did they get a medal of honor? Flags as half-staff?

Merv Griffin was a firm believer that actors/performers were much more popular if they had a big head, hence Vanna White on Wheel of Fortune. He once said "People will like her because her head is big in proportion to her body, like a baby." He was right.

My first harvest of anything this season. They were wonderful.

If you're traveling in WI (quit laughing), avoid the Oshkosh area (like, duh) because this is the week of the Experimental Aircraft Association's (EAA) Fly-In. It's like the 5000 year anniversary or so; Icarus was the first member. I think they should give it up, b/c no one has beaten his originality record to date. The small airport in Oshkosh becomes one of the busiest in the world this week. Not THE busiest. That record belongs to Epstein's island.

The revolution will not be televised, unless it's from a fascist perspective, but it will be live-streamed by many heros. (To badly parphrase Gil Scott-Heron.)

I wonder, with journos being shot, removed from the protests, and targeted in general, whether the media are now looking inward at their complicity in helping fascism flourish.

Nah.

If you decide to watch live footage of the ICE protests, do yourself a favor and turn off the comments.

Because the RNC sends me their flyers, I saw the 1 that Elon the Foul is paying for in the Wis Sup. Ct. election. It's gross. It's a glossy large postcard with 45 acting like there's blood coming out of his ear while fist-pumping (what, I don't know). It says "President Trump needs your vote!" No, syncophant Brad Schimel needs your vote (VP Elon, too). On the back is a bad pic of his opponent, Susan Crawford. A vote for her, it warns, would let radical liberals kill trump's agenda. Well, duh.

Is someone brave and fast enough to count the lies tonight?

I didn't see this back in 2017, & when I began watching it, I had no clue it wasn't recent. This constituent in Rep. Tom MacArthur's New Jersey district is On. Fucking. Fire. Standing just a few feet from MacArthur's face, medical assistant Geoff Ginter read the trumplican reo the riot act vis a vis health care. I found myself cheering like the audience did. I hope this guy ran for office. He's freaking amazing. Watch it and catch the spirit.

Apparently I should never be a FanGirl, given that John Fetterman is kissing the ass ... ring ... of the felon melon and Neil Gaiman has been accused of rape by nine women. I'll never get sappy over anyone from now on. Of course, that's been true in my personal life, so I don't know why I'm surprised. You just never know who the bad guys will turn out to be.

Absolutely. It's like a disease.

Do you ever get the feeling that "only" We the People give a shit about the country going to hell in a deplorable handbasket, and that the people who can actually do something about it couldn't care less?
