Interesting perspective.
At this point, it’s clear that there is no limit to the loss of our children that will motivate Congress to pass even the mildest and most obvious gun legislation.
Funny.
But seriously, this goes back to the theory that demand creates its own supply. There is a huge demand for pro-Trump idiocy. All that’s happening is a continuing supply of lies to feed these people which they so desperately crave.
The sad part of all this is that it doesn’t matter how harmful the product in demand may be. It could be heroin, assault rifles sold at Walmart, child labor, sexual slavery, websites promoting white supremacy, or ineffective/dangerous COVID-19 cures. If it’s in demand, there will be a rise in supply.
Oklahoma should cut its educational programs like a starving man needs to go on a diet.
It’s already among the states in which Trump did best; it’s hard to imagine why these people need to become even more ignorant.
Coincidentally, on the same page is the story about building two new prisons. Oklahoma is going to need a place to house all these unemployable people, many of whom will turn to crime in order to survive.
A reader sent me the meme here. Apparently he thinks that ignoring our terrible past and our completely unacceptable present will produce a fabulous future, free of racism.
Are there any other problems that evaporate by ignoring them? Tooth decay? Poverty? Crime? Environmental collapse?
This doesn’t appear too sharp.
Doesn’t this seem a bit extreme? “They” don’t teach you how to grow vegetables because they want you dependent on …… the grocery store?
Many thousands of years ago, humankind noticed that not everyone had the capacity to produce everything. Long before there was currency (which began around 600 BCE) people were bartering eggs for apples, bread for milk.
Does it seem real that the governments of ancient Mesopotamia or Phoenicia had an issue with this and wanted people dependent on them?
Anyone who wants to grow his own food is at liberty to do so, and anyone who wants to hone his skill can YouTube it until the cows come home.
A reader sent me this video in which disgraced retired general Michael Flynn talks about the stolen election. I respond:
Flynn says ,”The truth always comes out.”
Don’t you find it even a little bit ironic that Flynn pleaded guilty to “willfully and knowingly” making “false, fictitious and fraudulent statements” to the FBI regarding conversations with Russia’s ambassador? Trump himself fired Flynn for lying.
Sorry, but I find this hilarious. If you guys are looking for the truth, I would suggest you look elsewhere.
A reader sent me the chart here, noting that Facebook had labelled it “false information.” He adds, “I guess they don’t like the fact that people are indeed surviving COVID.”
Throughout U.S. history, many career politicians at the federal level have proved to have terrible moral character. Lots of wife-beating, tons of DUIs. Ted Kennedy, who clearly committed manslaughter.
That said, as shown below, you’re going to have a hell of a hard time finding anyone slimier than Lauren Boebert.
I don’t stay up to watch Colbert, but I occasionally look at his opening segment the following day.
Those who appreciate cleverness will admire what the writers did with the news story about a recently arrested insurrectionist who had played Judas in a national tour of “Jesus Christ Superstar.”
I would like to shake the hand of whoever replaced, “Jesus Christ, Superstar, Do you think you’re what they say you are?” with:
“Stop the steal, votes aren’t real, we’re getting played like a glockenspiel.”
When was the last time you heard someone rhyme the word glockenspiel?
Is there a single decent human being who wouldn’t love to have a bear cub hugging his leg?
Assuaging others’ misery is one of the very best feelings available to humankind.
Sadly, it seems to have fallen out of fashion in American culture, but it’s something that is so native to our being that it’s bound to make a comeback.
