...will not be found here.
In it's stead, you will find yet another rambling rant from an increasingly crusty curmudgeon
that is slowly being driven insane by the American political system and mainstream media.
Can you remember a time in your life when terms like "Deep State", "Antifa", "QAnon",
"Fake News", "Cancel Culture", and, my particular demon; "Woke" didn't exist?
When I was a kid, the phrase "Paint the Town Red" meant going out for a fun time
and did not have anything to do with automatic weapons and mass shootings of innocent bystanders.
At times when the old brainbox is somewhat lucid, I reminisce about the days when orange was a fruit,
a color and not some bad joke played upon the world. You know what I'm talking about.
Do you recall a time as a child when Mr. Potato Head was just a toy and not a matter of major consternation
that had to be emasculated because Ted Cruz took offense at a passing resemblance?
Should the Slinky be renamed to frumpy because "Slinky" is somehow sexually provocative or possibly name
it "Just Another Day" due to the name's resemblance to the shenanigans of politicians worldwide?
Along this same line of thought, you were probably as surprised as I was when it was revealed that those
Dr. Seuss books, probably among the first things you ever read solo, were turning you into a hateful racist.
That knowledge sure knocked me for a loop, let me tell you!
I guess I'm just letting the years go by and letting things get to me too much but I still feel angry at the morons
that are using every trick in the book to create havoc where none previously existed.
Sometimes at night, I find it hard to get to sleep with this nonsense permeating the depths of my mind and so I have
developed a sort of meditation technique while I lay with head on pillow.
I picture my current crew of names-in-the-news glued side-by-side to chairs in a row.
Directly in front of this bunch is a motorized rubber arm/hand that runs along a parallel track.
As the arm moves side to side along the track, it will stop randomly and give the person in front
of it a nice refreshing slap across the face. This somehow eases me into a good sleep.
This is also a likely side-effect of reading Dr. Seuss.
How do you all feel about all of this?
Now you're probably staring at your screen and wondering why there are no photos or gifs predominent
throughout this post. I can't answer that other than to say I've been overwhelmed by the news and
just had no desire to create or source material at this time.
I will however, leave you with an excerpt from a book you may have possibly read:
And the Grinch, with his grinch-feet ice-cold in the snow
Stood puzzling and puzzling: "How could it be so?"
"It came without ribbons! It came without tags!"
"It came without packages, boxes or bags!"
Love the post. I can only tolerate "the news," twice weekly. Any more than that and I feel like I'm having a stroke. Where will it all end, I wonder? Write on.....
