A Spin
If
the Weather Channel had historically paid hookers
to deliver the weather report we could have been assured
that the Oaf of Office might have seen at least one
past hurricane report and understood that hurricanes
don't always travel in straight lines.
Instead, our Dumpy Despot
looked at the map for Dorian a week ago and tweeted
to all and sundry "Next stop, Alabama! With Nebraska
to go!"
Presumably.
This
assumption on his part proved to
be absurdly incorrect and his little fee-fees got butt-hurt when
the press began asking questions and pointing ink-stained
fingers, so he grabbed a Sharpie
and slyly gerrymandered Alabama into into the path
of destruction.
No one would ever suspect.

of a thing he was never reasoned into.” - Jonathan

Swift understood the Trump voter very well.

Dear Walmart;
I have always had very few pleasant things
to say about your company but I would like to share
a heartfelt "Thank
you!" for your decision to stop selling ammunition
in your stores. It's a baby step towards sanity, and
your corporate policies still suck, but thanks.

San Francisco is calling the NRA out as a domestic
terrorist organization. This makes me so happy I think
I need to send SF flowers or something.

Mitch McConnell hates being called "Moscow Mitch",
which is perfectly understand.
He should more accurately be called "Putin's Pocket
Perfidy Pal".
Aside to Mitch: No one would call you "Moscow Mitch"
if you only did your damn job! You traitorous slime-ball.

One of the best things I heard all week was the idea
that if the U.S. invested hard enough in solar and
wind electric power we could get rid of all the hydroelectric
dams and begin returning this land back to his natural
state. Benefiting the animals AND ourselves.
-------------
I'm going to go out a limb here and make a totally
crazy prediction: If the GOP takes the House, Senate
and presidency in
2020 they will vote to give a gazillion tax-dollars
to the already ludicrously wealthy.
I know it sounds
cray-hay-hazy but , hey, ya never know.

People say many nasty things about Facebook but
I need to report that my Facebook "Raging Pencils"
page has developed a quite large and fervent crowd
of progressive Followers. They're good people with
good
hearts and
they love spreading my messages of liberal intent.
Yes, there's the occasional RWNJ troll that sneaks
in but Facebook affords
me the
divine pleasure
of throwing them out the virtual airlock.
Permanently. Bwah-ha-haaaaaa!
That being said, Facebook airlocked me for seven
days beginning last Friday, and all because I wrote
about t-Rump kicking
sick foreign kids out of hospitals to die.
Yes, I got banned for sharing the news, but I blame
it on Facebook's bots because they evidently have
a really hard time telling satire from intolerance.
This is my second ban. The first was for three days.
The next one will be for 30 days. After that it's a
permanent
ban.
I was really steamed about this until someone reminded
me that I am not a Facebook customer. I am a Facebook
product. I am there only to attract eyeballs for their
multitudinous ads. And if I transgress their secret
list of censorable words or ideas, well, I there are
more where I came from.
What this means is my commentaries there will retain
all their vitriol but when I write that "Donald Trump
is a [redacted] [redacted] lump of [redacted] [redacted]
who isn't fit to suck [redacted's] [redacted] [redacted]"
I'm sure people will still get my point.
