Now Everyone's Pissed...




Well we heard a lot about the angry white voters. But when you saw the Hillary supporters, they looked like they were walking on air. And after the shock has worn off, it's fair to say that now everyone is pissed. The angry white voters are still angry, and will be angrier still when they find out that the guy they voted for is a big wind bag full of hot air who is likely to implode at any time. But now, the other half of the country is equally angry. They feel the system is rigged. The FBI interfered in the Election, and the federal government did nothing to stop it. The KGB and Russian operatives worked for Trump and nobody lifted a finger or barely said a word of outrage because it helped the GOP.

And now the right wing machine controls everything. The Revolution that Bernie talked of, in some ways a metaphorical one, seemed to be perhaps inevitable, but avoidable in the short term. Now it's not looking that way. The media reports this is the sixth/seventh/eighth….day of riots and marches. It will soon grow into a daily litany of cities and towns taking to the streets. By the time the Inaugural rolls around, and then the legislation starts hitting, we are going to see more action from concerned citizens all across the country. 

This has unleashed a Pandora's box of discontent and with Trump at the helm, there really is no chance for healing. He represents so much of the divisive hate and overheated rhetoric that has come to symbolize his campaign. It's not hard to understand the phrase angry voters. But now, we are united in our anger and our pain and our rage. It's not white rage, or black rage, but American rage and unfortunately, we have only begun to see how far the anger and the hurt and the fear can go.

Katy Bar the Door: The Fall of the House of Reagan

·           Can this Marriage be Saved? There seems to be a disturbance in the force with the Tea Party activists and the rare seldom sighted moderate Republicans all coming out of the woodwork to ask what happened. There seems to be no way to reunite the odd, feuding factions that have erupted into deep schisms in the Republican Party. All one can do is to grab popcorn and stay tuned for what The Donald will do or say next… ·          Can he be Stopped? If you plaster his face at the post office, with the caption below Donald Trump’s picture reading, Can Someone stop this man?, would anyone be able to act? The GOP seems to be in a panic suddenly, as they realize that this man is soon to become the new face of the Grand Old Party.   ·      Old adages do apply: “ Nice Guys Finish Last ” We’ve learned over the course of the last few weeks that those tired old ...

Seinfeldian Moments in Strangelove

    Dr. Strangelove plays this month on Turner Classic. If you have ever reminisced about the Seinfeld moments in your life, you might appreciate these Seinfeldian moments in the film, Dr Strangelove, or: How I Learned to stop worrying and love the bomb.   *1) The Big Board : General Buck Turgidson is completely paranoid about the Russians being able to see “the Big Board”. Haven’t you ever thought about how childish the rules and games are that the highest in command play as they move people and entire cultures around on their imaginary chess boards?   *2) Precious Bodily Fluids : I can never think of fluoride in the same way after hearing Sterling Hayden as the deranged Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper talk seriously about how fluoridation of the water was sapping his “precious bodily fluids.”   *3) Slim Pickens is for ever immortalized as he is riding the rocket at the end of the film. It’s been reported that Pickens was not told he wa...
