A few things on the mind
Age produces a certain intolerance for stupidity. The “here’s your sign” kind of stupidity made hilarious by comedian Bill Engvall.
Each morning I awaken at roughly 4:00 a.m. and before starting the day’s work assignment, I fix a cup of Folgers instant coffee, turn on my computer, and head for Yahoo News. I want to make sure the world is still standing after a night of incomprehensible violence in some part of the world. I may devote all of ten seconds wondering how humans developed the audacity to call humankind “civilized.”
As I scroll through the news feed trying to find something relevant to read, I see enticements about 8 “stunning see through bikini photos” of some British (and/other other nationality) Wang Dang Doodle model, soccer star, Alpine skier, pro wrestler, or kangaroo rider on the beaches in Arizona.
Why would a man, woman, transgender, or no gender give a “good flying fuck” (and I don’t even want to think about where that term came from) about Wang Dang Doodle in a see through bikini bear-hugging a cactus plant in a New Mexico desert.
Maybe I’m too old to appreciate the “finer things” in life anymore. I find it more interesting, and occasionally more enjoyable, to watch the human traffic moving about in the parking lot of the local grocery.
Another thing on my mind that pisses me off is this “transgender issue.”
The Washington Post recently posted an op-ed piece about “understanding biological sex.” The newspaper reported that more than 7,000 of its readers took valuable time out of their lives to pass their opinion about what another person wants to be sexually, how they wish to dress in public, and how they view sex in general.
Folks, this is “breaking news happening right now”: planet earth is dying and humankind is just yards from the end zone.
Take my advice please: you be whatever the fuck you want to be and let the other person be whatever the fuck they want to be. It will make life so much simpler, perhaps even happier, as we all hurdle towards the “end days” or certainly toward our last day.
Finally but not lastly, I’ve had about as much of Marjorie Taylor Greene’s stupidity as I can stand. When I see her name, I will run away in fear of being blighted by the stench of it. This Congressional scientist recently informed the public that global warming is a natural phenomenon brought about because the earth is a spinning ball in the universe; and because that is the natural order of things, current day Americans should not be required to pay taxes to subsidize climate change because people in the Ice Age (more than 11,000 years ago) did not have to pay taxes to keep the earth frozen.
That is the new political criteria for being a U.S. Congressperson.
At least George Santos, like we all do, knows that world is square and that it sits motionless on a catalytic converter just five miles from the third rock to the sun.
