We Know Where That White Smoke's Being Blown

Within their giant exclusionary men's club,

a makeshift womb of protection

(the closest many will get to a Vag,)

the Cardinals of the Catholic church remained

safely and privately stashed away this week.

Hiding behind the decadence and ridiculous

opulence, away from the dreary real world,

they secretly planned their P.R. work on

their sick and dying cult.

No group of people could be more out of touch,

yet self-righteously anointing themselves and

believing preposterously that they are in any

way connected to divinity.

Why exactly is it that Vatican City needs to

be its own country, with sovereignty and self-

governing laws? Hmmmnn...maybe so they can

overlook all their crimes and misdeeds?

So they can protect one another from

extradition?

It's all just more of that smoke screen

they're so good at putting up; must be

another one of their addictions.

Incomplete Thoughts



The only fence around a neighbor that truly works.



Frost was no hack, but the phrase

"Good fences make good neighbors." doesn't

quite cut it.

After all, even the best fences aren't

sound proof, smell proof, nor fully capable

of blocking the sight of unsavory, selfish,

nasty pieces of work.

They also aren't so great a defense against

explosions caused from unkempt meth labs.

Just saying.

(The fence I want around my dwelling

is a thousand miles of water surrounding

my private island.)

Countdown to Con-troversy

Yeah....about that....uh,

 Not really.

You may have heard some of the more

rabid and knuckle-dragging of your

Limbaugh-obsessed or Fox-viewing

compadres talking of an impending

impeachment of our inarguably most popular

and well-received President in some years.

It's nonsense.

The 'news' (whether a lampoon to

intentionally draw controversy and readers

or outright bad reporting,) originated in

the Weekly World News, which specializes

in...how do I put this delicately....

super trashed out bullshit.

Which, ya know, is along the same lines as Fox

News' credibility, so I imagine all their goofballs

have taken it on as a mantra "Come on March 11,

Come on March 11!" (the supposed beginning

date for Congress' fake Impeachment hearings.)

Don't get me wrong; I know there are a ton of morons

who are looking for a crisis, who are freaked out

about a black guy running the country, who

are just plain hatin' like there's no tomorrow.

And it would be their wet dream come true for this

to be a reality, but, SNAP!

Y'all got played... and then some!

Why don't they start investing energy in making this country

better, and stop demonizing our President?
Well, because they just aren't smart enough

to figure that out, naturally.

That Bandwagon-of-Stupid is just so enticing!

"Who gives a fuck?"

Why else would

the uppity crust

hate it so?

Shock Follows Shock

This sequester nonsense is big news.

The Republicans--none of whom will be adversely

affected by job cuts or loss of services with their

life of privilege firmly in place--have no worry

over what happens to the rest of us.

Their beloved rich puppet-masters are being

protected at all costs, and that's their true job...

certainly not the job they were hired for and swore

to uphold, but what's to be done about it?

They know there is no way for them to be held

accountable, short of bloody revolution.

They sure seem intent on bringing that about.

Yes, spending cuts are needed.

Let's start with a freeze on Congress' paychecks.

Yes, budgeting is required.

Lets' eliminate the last 3 pay raises they gave themselves, too.

All true--and still not the deciding issue.

Republicans are owned lock, stock and barrel by the

elite and special interest groups. They will not

make a move for two reasons;

They won't betray their real masters,

and they will not be seen 'giving in' to the President.

Sounds like a great rational for allowing this

country to be torn apart.

Do your jobs, you ignorant, vain bastards.

And let's start an investigation into Congress' private accounts

since they obviously aren't living off of the American people's salary.

Twilight of the "OH MY GAWD!"s

Ugh! Now truly Immortal on DVD!

It's too bad the real life drama is 20 times better

than what's on the screen.

The last time that much celluloid and money was

wasted was when...no, wait...this is the worst.

Ads promote this as "The best of the Twilight Saga movies,"

which is a bit like saying "the nicest smelling porta-potty at

the fair."

It's rotten to the core.

It sucks better than a Hoover vacuum

or a real vampire.

Most horrible role models and 'heroes'

for kids since Charles Manson.

(Naw, at least Manson had vision.)

Hopefully the fad will die off as

tweeners grow up, gay guys find new

obsessions, and old women develop

embarrassment over their cougarish ways.

Nothing as it Seems

The average 'gun enthusiast'

(the worst euphemism since 'military intelligence,'

as it is both innocuously misleading and

woefully understated) seems to be of the mind that

"Well, we already have all these guns...we might as well use them"

as though that's an end point on a philosophical

conversation.

To which I can only reply

"Thank goodness we didn't feel that way about

our nuclear weapons. But, at least that would

have been faster and less messy than gun annihilation."

Hey, maybe we could initiate the

philosophy of
"We've got these brains...might as well use them?"
