Snow on Deck
Wednesday, January 8, 2025
Dateline January 6th 2025 Washington DC
Thousands of Democratic protesters decrying the 2024 election failed to show up to protest the counting of the Electoral Votes. Proceedings were delayed on and off by Republican grandstanding. Instead of taking 15 minutes it took 25.
Peter Yarrow of Peter, Paul, and Mary died. I thought he died a long time ago.
I think it’s time that Mike Johnson sell his own bible. That way he can insert all the wacky stuff he says is in the Bible. Johnson’s Bible – it’s got a nice ring to it. For instance, he could insert:
For man is man,
and woman is woman.
Because currently it’s not in the Bible as he has asserted it is.
And Trump has started his pre-Presidential time by saying he wants the U.S. to take Greenland by force if necessary, if Denmark won’t give it up. What if Denmark doesn’t give it up? Do they go on the list of shit-hole countries? It’s been asserted that Denmark has offered to buy the U.S. and install universal health care.
The orange one also wants the Panama Canal back. This is another boffo idea. Ya know they have bars near the base when the U.S. was there that had girls dancing totally nude. This is where John McCann may have gotten some of his views on women. But these were not good Panamanian girls. There were sluts from Costa Rica and Columbia. I wonder if Trump will institute the same kind of policies here. Will we see girls from say New Jersey dancing in New York? Or Idaho in Kansas? So many unanswered questions.
BTW I have decided not to read anything, or should I say I stop reading something, when I see a sentence that states “Me and …” I’m sorry but as I read in a great little book entitled “72 Reasons you won’t get published and 3 why you might” or something close to that as the title had as two of the first reasons you won’t get published: “You don’t know spelling,” and “You don’t know grammar.” I’ll overlook an obvious spell corrector mistake but really? Me? In a subject? That’s grating. Can’t do it. Won’t do it.
In another one I stopped reading a travel article when it stated that she and her husband “road” on a Zodiac boat in Alaska. Sorry. You don’t know how to spell; you don’t know grammar. Next!
Back to bibles for a sec. Ya know there was a very popular bible back in the 1600s where the publisher omitted the word “not” from the commandment about adultery. So, what’s the implication of such a commandment? That you have to commit adultery? God’s will and all that.
Ah yes. Well, I see Mark Z has begun the transition to Trumpism. No more fact checking by experts. Let the community decide. It’s been a disaster for X so let’s do it on Facebook. What I want is someone sitting in a lounger chair drinking a beer deciding if something is correct or not. No friggin’ expert for Mark.
Saw a really good show about neurosurgeons and what they go through to become one. When I tuned in a young woman was having to relieve the pressure on a skull by drilling a hole in said skull. First time. Wow. Talk about tension. She has a senior surgeon there with her, encouraging her and giving advice. Ya know, do we need that? Do we really need to train people to become neurosurgeons? I mean wasn’t there an episode of The Simpsons where Bart or Homer took up neurosurgery?
Can you imagine, your head is throbbing. Someone is looking at your brain scans and it’s declared that you need to have a hole drilled in your head and in comes some dude with a Guns and Roses T-shirt and a giant electric drill from Home Depot and you’re told he’s going to drill the hole. You ask have you ever done this before and he responds, “Yeah, I’ve drilled lots of holes.”
“In a head?”
“What?” he wasn’t listening because he was scrolling through his cell phone.
You repeat the question and he scoffs at you, “A hole is a hole. I’ve drilled lots of them on the dry wall jobs. And I’ve drilled a few holes myself if you catch my drift. Huh? Know what I mean?”
At this point you have to be sedated because they think you’re a raving lunatic. The hole gets drilled. “What 3/4 inch was too much? Huh.” And you are forever transformed. Into a vegetable. Huh. Oh well. Next.
Yeah. We don’t need no stinkin’ experts. They just get in the way. Let the people decide. Maybe we should let the people decide when it comes to elections? I mean Trump won and had more votes than anybody else. Maybe, that’s the way we should do an election? Whoever, gets the most votes wins. It’s in the Bible.
And a big shout out to The Donald – not even in office yet and he’s already name calling and belittling, saying that Governor Newsom is doing a terrible job fighting the fires in his state. No suggestions as to what to do better. No aid or comfort – just attack attack attack. It’s going to be a long four years.
First of all, Zuckerberg experts would shut people down for up to 3 days for the dumbest reasons. I was one of those people. No explanation just that my statement was controversial. So?
Another thing that people seem to be missing is that Greenland is full of “rare minerals”. Most of them used in electrical things like car batteries. Now who would want that the most? Could it be Elon Musk?
Incorrect spelling and grammar drives me absolutely nuts. I’m supposed to take someone seriously that doesn’t know the difference between loose and lose? To and too? Nope. I’m out.
I watched some of the footage from the Carter funeral yesterday; the snubbing of that orange felon was glorious. Not a fan of Karen Pence but damn, she got it right. Not even an upward glance.
And then the news that the Supremes voted to keep the NY sentencing! YES!
