Atticus's JournalThe RANT light is on--------!
Has Russia stopped killing Ukrainians?
Is the toxic train wreckage all cleaned up and have all the residents of East Palestine moved back home?
Has Trump stopped spewing filthy lies?
Has that smarmy fascist sonofabitch Florida chose as governor disappeared?
WHY IN HELL ARE MSNBC AND CNN showing nonstop uninterrupted live coverage of a super-wealthy "good ol' boy" charged with murdering his wife and son?
Are there any OTHER trials of interest?
Were there any other murders?
Pull you heads out, "journalists"! There's some REALLY important shit going on and this murder trial ain't it!
Carry on.
I believe that humanity's long-term survival will depend upon whether we can persuade the
overwhelming majority that there is no "they" or "them"---only "we" and "us".
City folk are likely not aware of this, but there are two primary types of cattle kept by hill folk:
Clockwise and Counter-Clockwise.
Clockwise cows have markedly longer legs on their left sides and, therefore, walk clockwise around a hill as they graze---longer legs down-slope and shorter legs up-slope.
On Counter-Clockwise cattle, the longer legs are on their right sides and so, of course, they graze counter-clockwise around the hills.
The two types occasionally pass each other going in opposite directions when grazing the same hill but, as you might imagine and for obvious reasons, they seldom mate. In the few instances where a "cross-bred" calf was born, it did not survive long as, with a long left front leg and a long right rear leg, the poor things never manage to stand up without toppling over.
At least, that's what "lots of people say"!
Our media---an analogy:
There are two used cars for sale on a lot.
The red "Republicar" has a cracked windshield, a caved in driver's side door, rusted out wheel wells and a broken headlight. The trunk is wired shut and the car is partially supported by three cinder blocks under the axle where the left rear wheel is missing. A sign asks "$30,000"
The blue "Democar" has a deep scratch on the hood and the driver's seat is quite worn. A sign asks "$15,500 or ?---make offer".
"Journalists" covering the sales lot mention "a pretty red Republicar" and "a well-worn and obviously abused Democar" for sale "IF anyone offers them anything".
"We report---YOU decide!"
It was an uncharacteristically thoughtful gesture for Trump to fly up from Florida
just to visit the wreckage of the "Trump Train".
As I hear of more and more Republicans saying more and more outrageous, vile, craven,
unAmerican and just thoroughly disgusting things I am having more and more difficulty responding in an appropriate adult fashion.
I will not even begin to give examples because---y'all know what I am talkin' 'bout!
Again, I know that posters here do not need this explanation, but they may know some who do.
Just SAYING something again and again and again does not make it true. No matter how many times you call an apple a banana, it is still an apple.
You can say the election was stolen, Dominion machines switched votes to Trump, tens of thousands of unregistered/dead/illegal aliens voted for Biden, or suitcases of Chinese "bamboo ballots" swung the election for Biden, but----after over two years and over 60 ridiculous lawsuits filed by dozens of incompetent pettifoggers NOT ONE SHRED of EVIDENCE has been produced to support ANY of that.
And, so, reasonable people long ago understood that when you continued to shout those ridiculous slanders it was because you were either a damn liar or a total idiot.
If the above is too difficult for you to understand, let me simplify it for you: "Saying shit doesn't make it so. Only fools and liars say it does and no one really cares anymore which you are."
Anyone know why suddenly "myMail" is no longer available on our Samsung androids?
TIA for any info.
So, "they say" Marjie Greene was cashing a personal check at a bank when she was asked if she
could identify herself.
Unfazed, ol' Marj opened her compact, glanced at it and announced "Yep, that's me!"
The woman was delighted that her husband had remembered their 25th anniversary with a
big bouquet of red rose's. After a hug and kiss, she began putting them in her favorite vase, but soon paused.
"Uh,---there are only twenty one roses here" she said, confused.
"Yep! Uh- huh---that's how many I ordered!" he explained, smiling.
Still puzzled, she asked "Why 21? I mean, I can see 25 for 25 years or an even two dozen, but why 21?"
With a big smirk, he informed her that he'd bought one rose "for each GOOD year" of their marriage!
"OH,----!" she exclaimed.
After a few thoughtful seconds, SHE smiled, threw 6 rose's into the trash bin, put the remaining 15 into the vase and walked away humming "You're So Vain!"
