Totally off point, but only because I love Dazed and Confused so much will I bring this up: Nicky Katt was Clint. Matthew McConaughey was Wooderson. Aside from that, all right all right all right. 👍

Trump, Musk, DOGE, and the Project 2025 Redcoat Anti-American Republicans are Incompetent and Corrupt and a threat to our country. They work for the wealthy and not the American people. Money and Power is all they care about. They all need to be driven out.........and dealt with so that this never happens again in America.

We need such overwhelming numbers in constant marches, and we need more filibusters like Cory Booker's, like every week. And pressers. And TikToks, Youtube videos & other social. And ads on tv, but also digitally in all the spaces they reach key groups. It must be a constant assault pointing out who they are. And Dems MUST understand this

I wish they were incompetent ... we wouldn't be here if they were... Heritage Foundation played the long game and put 2 loud mouthed money grabbing monsters in front of the camera spouting hate and racism threatening all the r's in Congress to heel.. but Heritage Foundation is pulling the strings...it may be too late for some magas & r's in congress to regret their votes since it's easy to destroy but hard and long work to rebuild...we are facing an Hurculean task and we will do it

Your posts are the only bright spot in this nightmare. Your particular genius is being able to shrink-wrap insults into pithy takedowns on your way to making a larger point about whatever mess this Axis of Narcissism (as you call them, brilliantly) has created on any given day. My favorites in this post are "an editorial that sounded like it was ghostwritten by Liz Cheney after three bourbons," and "unveiling new tariffs with all the strategic foresight of trying to build IKEA furniture with major head trauma and no instructions." I feel I'm taking a master class in poetic disparagement.

Thx Frances! I may screenshot & post this :). You get me. I try to use humor--sometimes scathing--to make a broader point. It gets ppl's attention. Also, creative insulting is a fun hobby! Btw, what you said means a lot. If you really like what I do, and you're not, become a paid subscriber! I write a longer column for the paid subs. I'll increase that to 2 soon. So if ya can swing it/haven't, join us on the paid side! Either way, again, thank you!

A little bit of good news is always welcome. Blue Amp sees a cultural shift that brings some inspiration.

I love how you lay it all out; pure poetry IN MOTION. Settles true. Well done.

(Petey does not look friendly. But he’s gorgeous and very ‘I Am’ present. My kind of guy.)

I’m waiting on $$$. May take some time.

Tariffs, yeah, not great. But with a few noble exceptions, such as Bernie, both Republicans and Democrats are still normalising GENOCIDE. If we do that then we all have to ask:

That Democrats (my party) found their spine is wonderful. That they hadn't in time to block the CR bill is a shame. And tragedy.

Yup. Should have been Petey.

Sweet of you (with so much to handle) to contact. Basically I have no money. Waiting for inheritance; very complex will-2 years so far, not a peep.

Can’t wait to donate to a bunch of local VT agencies & stuff like yours. You’ve got a rare excellent flow. I think you are totally you-good souled.
