Yesterday, I attended the funeral for my last great aunt. Born in 1920, she had an unbelievable, story-filled 103 years of life. But. I cannot imagine surviving that long in our present world. Unless. I get very creative …
You are home. Alone. With nothing but silence wrapped around you. Then. Suddenly. A knock at the door. But. A knock unlike any you have ever heard before. Startled. Alarmed. Worried. Who's there? What do they want? You stumble to the window. You peer outside. And wonder. Why ... are they carrying a clipboard?
Hello, Super Tuesday! Hmm. That's very DejaVu-ay! Anywho. Has empathy? Nope. Can experience joy? Nope. Craves worship? Yep. A pathological desire to win manipulative games? Yep. Stare too long into a "black hole" of despair and you will turn to stone. From the in-side-out.
Fascism, by definition, is a reactionary right-wing movement fueled by a perceived loss of power. It's an imaginary "grievance" struggle framed to restore the never-were "glory days" – usually led by an old white guy desperately trying to relive his childhood before Mr. Grim comes to take him home.
A wryly puntaculer prediction if Trump "wins" the Electoral College? Putin nukes Warsaw, Berlin, Paris, Madrid and London. Then slithers over the remains of Europe – as the statues arise proclaiming "Vladimir the Greatest". An accomplishment Peter, Catherine and Stalin could only dream of.
I get sports. My career was standard youth to college. Thanks to professional athletes and coaches in my family. Just not the life I wanted. But if you are consumed with fire to compete off-the-field with everyone in everything? You're over-compensating. For a neutered soul. And have my pity.
Titleplay? Ha ha. Anyhims. A popular question is: does a [fill in the blank] know they are lying – or are they so delusional that they believe they are telling the truth? Welp. I've pondered. And may I suggest. It is academic. And completely irrelevant to the sockstansial matter ... in hand.
The TV series "The Man in the High Castle" presented scenes of exceptional production value – which were too easily dismissed by those not well-versed in American history. Would it shock the "it can't happen here" crowd to learn it actually did? And that THIS was filmed for posterity?
Oh, Donny! That Fox & Traitors "interview" was a hoot! WTF did they prop you up with to keep you from falling over? THIS answer to the kid's question was great! And I loved the part when you offered advice to my dearly departed cousin Abe on how to "settle" that Civil War stuff! Comedy gold!
