Facebook crashes and burns, Musk guts the Twitter mafia, the Fetterman debate, Biden continues to spin his tale of a bizzarro world where inflation is low and he’s the most popular man in the world, the State Department muses about nuclear first strike over Ukraine, Chuck Schumer tells Biden the bad news about the Georgia senate race, Oregonians might elect a Republican governor. And on and on and on.
The weirdness has metastasized. Even Democrat voters have stopped claiming that “things are alright.” We’ve reached the Howard Beale stage of things where almost everyone is confused, scared and angry all at the same time. And I’m really happy about that. I’ve been waiting for years for the rest of the idiots to catch up to where I’ve been for a decade. And I count myself as one of the idiots. Maybe I’m just a little less stupid than the rest of them. Or maybe I was just a little more involved in what was playing out on the national stage.
The real reason is because I’m extremely vindictive. I’ve taken personally all the lies I was fed twenty some odd years ago during the War on Terror and I want pay back. I’m just as interested in seeing Mitch McConnell lose his job as I am in seeing Joe Biden go to jail.
So, it’s a great relief to see so many catatonic Americans open their eyes for the first time in their lives and realize that they’ve entrusted their country to incompetent ideologues who believe in things that don’t exist.
It’s good to see that America is getting a sense of what abandoning petroleum feels like. It feels like poverty. That’s a valuable lesson to learn.
So, this week I’m soaking in all of the rage, fear and panic that the Democrats are radiating around them and the confusion and lies that the media is pumping out. I’m floating on my back in a warm ocean of schadenfreude and it’s wonderful. There was a great video of a doofus from MSNBC interviewing Republican voters from Western Pennsylvania. She’s trying to get them to say that January 6th is a terrible thing and any politicians who were there should be shunned. And they’ll have none of it. They scoff at her and compare it to the larger riots during the “George Floyd summer of love.” The expression on the face of the woman interviewing them was a deer in the headlights look. She couldn’t believe that they wouldn’t let themselves be shamed into condemning the protestors. It was glorious.
I’m trying not to get too charged up by the good news that seems to come out of every poll I read. There’s nothing worse than the let down after being subjected to a fraudulent election. Especially when it’s brutally obvious that massive fraud is slowly being unrolled before your eyes.
But there’s no reason not to enjoy this run up to the election. Listening to the excuses and bitterness as everything goes wrong for the Left is deeply soothing. It puts a bounce in my step and a smile in my heart. Just hearing Liz Cheney talk about how noble and honorable it is for her to sell her party out and support the Democrats makes me feel all the better about her failure to get re-elected and the bigger failure of her January 6th Hearings. Very soon she’ll be carrying her box of stolen office supplies home from her cushy former office in the Capitol building. And once the new Republican majority is in charge of the House no one will ever remember who Liz Cheney was. And the receptionists will let her know that whichever Congressman or Senator she wants to speak to is not available but they’ll be sure to send her a fund-raiser envelope in the mail, have a nice day.
Tonight, I watched my favorite giant radioactive insect movie, Them! Unsurprisingly James Whitmire (as Sgt. Ben Peterson) is, once again, killed by the powerful mandibles of a giant carpenter ant. No matter how many times I yell out, “No Ben don’t try to get in the pipe. Pick up the flame thrower, dammit man pick up the flame thrower!” But he was too cocky. When he heard the stridulations of the giant ant, he first lifted the second little boy into the exit pipe and then tried to exit that way himself. Obviously, he should not have picked up the child but calmly and efficiently picked up the flame thrower that was nearby, pointed it at the murderous mega-insect and charbroiled the wretched invertebrate. Then he could have exited with the kid at his leisure.
What is it about giant insects that makes otherwise rational public servants so erratic? C’est la vie.
