Don’t Cover His Crap

So, a judge ruled that the Pedo Pig couldn’t ban the press, but when the media tried to access the White House in the morning they were denied. However, right around noon, just a half an hour before they’d have to show up in court, the White House lifted the ban. And the press stayed away in droves. They allowed the pug to meet with President Xi without any coverage. And then the orange mouth complained that the press wasn’t there! Good. Stay away! We’ve heard all his bits. We know he’s going to lie and tell us everything is going great. It ain’t. It was learned this week that his approval rating is now at 29%. Nixon got bounced when he was at 24%. It’s widely believed that there is a blue wave coming, and Pedo Pig knows that if they lose the senate and the house that he may wind up in Federal prison. What are his options? 1). They will try to cancel the elections. This doesn’t seem plausible, but a run at martial law is on the table. Make up an emergency and declare that the election ...

What’s Up?

It’s funny how we salute one another. “How’s it going?” Is usually answered with: “It’s going?” “How are you?” Often gets: “Same shit, different day.” We all have stock answers. When someone asks me how I am I usually answer: “Lovely.” I see different people each day, which is good. I can’t imagine working in an office where you run into the same people every day. That’s dangerous because you get invested! At the same time, there was a plumber that I ran into the day after Kathy had her surgery. About a month later I saw him again, and the first thing he asked was: “How’s your bride?” Which was very thoughtful given that I’m not sure I even know his first name. There is one good day for greeting people. “How’s it going?” “It’s Friday.” That’s always the response on Friday morning, and yeah, it puts a little pep in the step. That’s followed by: “Have a great weekend.” And then on Monday we have to deal with the: “How was your weekend?” question. “I played all right,” is my response to t...

Winding Down

This is the final week of the baseball season. It hurts me to write that sentence, but of course, we have the playoffs coming up, and baseball playoffs are incredible. It’s been a weird year, as the Yankees have had a lot of major injuries. Aaron Judge hasn’t played much at all since May, and Stanton checked out in late April. That’s about 75 homers missing from the lineup, and still, they won 90+ games, but not the division. Which means they will be seeded behind teams that won considerably less than the Yankees. Just stupid. The Yankees will face Boston and then the winner of the series will face Tampa while the other 3 teams with way worse records will battle it out. One of those lesser teams will be in the championship series. Ridiculous. Teams should be seeded by the number of wins. Period. The Yankees should be the 2nd seed. Boston should be the 3rd seed. Whatever. Beat the best to win it all. And for the first time in decades, the Yankees will win a title if they pitch as they’r...

Muted

Finally. The media decided to work together. Instead of cowering, they decided to band together in solidarity with the entities that were banned. White House events went off without audio. Which was close to heaven… …he couldn’t be heard! No talk of windmills causing cancer, or the fact that no one ever knew there was a ‘b’ in dumb until he figured it out. Just silence. And why I say it was ‘almost heaven’ is because he could still be seen. The accordion playing hands as he tries to reason his way through his lies. And I mention all this because it brought to mind the glorious day, off in the hopefully near future, when he won’t be part of the daily conversation. Do you remember the days when we hardly ever thought of politics? Someone asked me about 9/11/01.  How’d I feel about America leading into it? “I was clueless,” I said. “I barely knew Bin Laden from Saddam Hussein.” And that was the truth. There was far less drama, and we trusted that those in charge had the best interest ...

The Internet

I remember the first time I ever went online. I had received a floppy disc from AOL, and I had a PC, so, I put the disc in and man… …it made an awful sound! I was online! Now what? I remember telling Kathy that it was awesome because I can talk to anyone in the world. I went in a chat room and was in a conversation with someone in Colorado. “You don’t even like talking to someone you know who is in the same room as you. Why do you want to talk to a stranger?” A couple of months after that we ordered a movie and it was sent to our television! Amazing!! We watched ‘Waterworld’ with Kevin Costner. The movie wasn’t great, but watching it from my couch? That was outstanding! Fast forward 28 years. We have screens at the gas pump because God help us if we just stand there filling our tank without looking at a screen. There are 40 screens in every sports bar. People drive and look at their screens, and they argue with strangers, from all over the world, everywhere. I found that: I hate talkin...

Banning the Free Press

Getting a little closer to making the old constitution obsolete. There was an announcement that free press won’t be allowed to cover the White House because the news doesn’t favor the president. And America collectively shrugs. Now there’s a reason why this sudden announcement hit yesterday just hours after it was decided that the missing 37 pages from the Epstein files will see the light of day. The details of those missing 37 pages? It’s all about the rape of a 13-year old child at the hands of the man who just banned the press from asking questions. And of course there are the polls. It is forecasted that Democrats will clean up in the midterms, and the poll numbers are a disaster for Republicans because their crimes will be investigated. The GOP midterm message is that people don’t mind paying a fortune for gasoline because they don’t want to be nuked. Healthcare? Doesn’t matter - we have gold in the oval. Lost your job? Not to worry!  There will be a huge ballroom! Can’t find ...

O Canada 🇨🇦

At the Bills Stadium opening game, the Bare Naked Ladies sang Canada’s National Anthem. I’m not sure about the choice of singers as they kinda’ hurt my ears, but I love the Canadian anthem. I know every word because the Sabres have opened every game with it for nearly 60 years! Didn’t think anything of it until I saw MAGA going off on social media because the fat, orange pedophile has declared Canada our mortal enemies. “That’s it! I’m never watching another NFL game ever!” One of the MAGA cult members declared. Oh no? Didn’t you stop watching when Colin Kaepernick knelt for the anthem because men were being shot all over the country because they were black? How about the Miller Lite protest? Or because Kendrick Lamar or Bad Bunny played the halftime shows? Didn’t you quit the NFL then? You’ll watch 7 games next week. The fake outrage over the anthem will be your talking point as you try to decide where Lake America is on your map. Go eat some Canadian bacon, slip on a hockey jersey, a...
