Battle
of the Bilge
If I had my druthers I wouldn't allow anyone to run for federal
office until they have five years experience in local government
and then five years experience in state government. And you
couldn't run for President until you have at least one full
term in office as a U.S. congressman.
You know who I just described? Barack Obama. You know who
I didn't describe? Yeah. That whiny,treasonous orange
thing.
Government office, especially the presidency, shouldn't be
a fucking popularity contest.
Who's with me on this?

Stuff I learned today.
The Nazis invaded Russia in World War Two and, as a result
of the millions of deaths they caused, "nazi" became a derisive
term that is still used to this day by
Russians.
Vladimir Putin, when his army invaded the Ukraine, referred
to the people of people of that country as "nazis" in order
to stir up public
sentiment
against
them,
in the
same way that Republicans use the term "trans" or "socialist". It's
bullshit but, sadly, it works on low-wattage humans.
Yevgeny Prigozhin
is head of the Wagner group, the Russian state-funded private
para-military group, and is a big fan of Adolf Hitler, even
naming his group after Adolf's favorite composer, Richard
Wagner. Prigozhin is said to even sign his name using the
twin thunderbolts of the Waffen-SS.
That, as I've read, may have constituted the most "charming"
aspect of his personality. But what would you expect of a
man who runs a business whose most important product is dead
people? Ugh.

Personal aphorisms.
Diversity:
1. We're all pink on the inside.
2. After the tiger eats us we all come out brown.
3. Anyone who learns English, as an adult, even minimally,
deserves admiration.
4. There is no "11" for masculinity or femininity,
but the dial certainly swings between 1 and 10.
Guns:
1. You can't protect yourself from a gun with a gun.
2. You can't outrun a bullet.
3. The bad guys always shoot first, and too often they're
the police.
Religion:
1. You're either a pantheist or a heretic. There is no
middle ground.
Existentialism:
1. The Earth won't miss us when we're gone.
