Howdy Critters.
Sorry for the lengthy absences, but life, family and work seem to take up 105% of my time these days.
Not to mention the miserable state of our dis-union.
But, here’s another episode of Sporadic Gnuz, pried from the cold dead hands of the Guttenberg digital press.
Supreme Court on 5-to-4 vote blocks restrictive Louisiana abortion law
H/T Wa Po
A big fat up yours to the tiny horde of internet trolls predicting a swift end to Roe v. Wade.
And, not just up yours, but perhaps with a yard long strand of rusty barbed wire.
And,
Young People Really, Really Want a Green New Deal
H/T The Nation
More heartening Gnuz.
Now we just need to get the hell out of their way and kick out all the azzhole politicians in their way.
Finally,
AOC Lays Bare How Dark Money Corrupts Everything
In Thursday’s hearing on HR 1, Democrats’ ethics bill, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez used her time to demonstrate how dark money corrupts everything.

I was eating breakfast with my 10 year old granddaughter and I asked her, “What day is tomorrow?”
Without skipping a beat she said, “It’s President’s Day!”
She’s smart so I asked her, “What does President’s Day mean?”
I was waiting for something about Obama, Bush, or Clinton, etc.
She replied, “President’s Day is when the President steps out of the White House, and if he sees his shadow, we have another year of Bullshit.”
You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out of your nose.

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart’s desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
― H.L. Mencken, On Politics
Well, that lets me out of being considered ‘plain folks’ then.
There’s that…
Easter candy ads suck! And it’s a LONG time until Easter!
You think you’ve heard this one before…? (It reminds me of Stevie Wonder’s Master Blaster)
Lyrics may not be precise
Er ist nicht mein Präsident Lyrics
The first time I saw him in a movie
Was in black and white on my colour TV
He was a big star in a football game
When shit hits the fans now we’ll know who to blame
He’s out of time and old
For him we must pray
For if he should die, in comes the Bush CIA
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
At the convention he show his hand
He plays a small part just to act in command
I looked in his eyes, looked right past his face
A contest means money but a race means a race
He’s honest and he means well so now we must pay
For if he should die, in comes the Bush CIA
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
He promised the world to be president
He could feed our poor ones with what he has spent
To those who’re not lazy, jobs he will bring
But poverty and wealth they to him are the same
He’s wise beyond my years
Make time what you say
For if he should die
In comes the Bush CIA
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika
Er ist nicht mein Praesident
Ich bin aus Amerika

Does he even know where he is most of the time?

It’s a funny thing…. how when you’re dead, you don’t know you’re dead….and those around you are the ones who suffer.
The same thing happens when you’re stupid….
Still chanting ‘Lock her up’ at CPAC yesterday.
