Oh,
Poop!
Have you heard about fecal transplantation? Basically, it's
where you take poop out a healthy person's gut and transplant
it into the gut of a sick person. Under the right circumstances
it's said to be an effective treatment.
So I got to wondering, in an effort to bring some small amount
of sanity to this country, could we put Democratic poop
inside Republicans?
And then I thought, "Nah! They're already too full of shit."
Buh-dum-dum!
-------------
Twitter used to be a wonderful place but, as we all know,
it's now just a musky husk of its former self.
FB is offering its Twitter-clone, Threads, but it's mobile
phone-only, part of Zuck's plan to suck ALL your personal
data off your phone. So never in a million years for me.
(Sigh)
What's a fomenter of honest dissent to do?
------------------
The original goal of Republican leadership was simple: "Get
all the money for ourselves."
Eventually they got all the money. And the Supreme
Court, too, by using all that money.
Now their goal has become "Make everyone else
miserable."
And with the help of the Supreme Court, they will.
But this conservative tide can be stopped, reversed,
and all you have to do is support and vote for the
person with
the "D" after their name.
Otherwise, unless
you're filthy, stinking rich, you're just punching
yourself in
the face.

As I was standing in line at the grocery store t'other
day it occurred to me that almost no fruit or vegetable
is reliably out of stock these days. Blueberries,
for example, which once seemed to have the life span
of mayflies, are almost an evergreen in my produce
department these days. Not that I'm complaining.
But there's one fruit that leaves a large hole on the produce
counter most days of the year....
Grapefruit.
And I think the reason is that blueberries, for example,
again, are beloved by everyone the world 'round. So farmers
in exotic locales
are happy to bend their backs for those fat world-market
profits.
But grapefruit is a largely American delicacy. We
grow most of them and consume most of them while
the rest
of the word goes "Oooooh-kay. You do you, American
sickos."
Yes, grapefruit is the American equivalent of Vegemite.
It's our haggis, our sea urchin sushi, our blood
pudding. And I couldn't be more proud.
-----------------
Technical note: My original intent for today's 'toon
was to have the aliens opining in an ironic
way about the sad ruins of humanity, but after two
hours of wracking my tiny braim I could not confabulate
anything that sufficiently floated my boat
so
I left
them wordless, and it all worked out fine. Just
thought you would enjoy this brief examination into
the <ahem> creative process.
