QUOTE OF THE DAY

“John McCain has spent the last 60 years advocating, cheering for and glorifying the most monstrous and murderous wars on the planet, while demanding many others that never happened. He has enormous amounts of blood on his hands. That he’s dying of brain cancer doesn’t change this.”

Glenn Greenwald

Leave it to Greenwald to nail this unrepentant warmonger.

What’s that the experts say about deranged children that take joy in the suffering of defenseless animals? Now imagine the black soul of a dying old man doing the same:

I hope that prick is tormented to his last breath about the evil he wrought while on earth. I doubt that dream will be realized.
I heard he said Trump is not allowed at his funeral. Probably as high on Trump’s list as the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Or maybe just sparing his reputation the embarrassment of Trump hot attending himself and sending Pence in the first place.

McCain needs to hurry up and die.

“TAPE HAS McCAIN’S SON PRAISING RED DOCTORS”
front page article, Stars & Stripes Magazine, June 6th, 1969

A traitor to America, the men he served with, the uniform he wore.

There are facts and there is the truth. John McCain managed to take a few facts about his days as a POW and parlay it into a political truth thanks to trading his old wife for a newer wife in a very wealthy family in Arizona.

And, then, once elected due to those connections, he didn’t really have to do another damn thing worth talking about, did he?

https://www.nytimes.com/2000/02/27/us/pow-to-power-broker-a-chapter-most-telling.html

But, who am I to talk? I moved to a state with another former military idiot for a governor. The guy has an affair and takes a lewd photo of HER to keep her from telling.

I’m sorry, but that sort of leverage only works on the Virgin Mary or a nun. Otherwise, he is only proving her point.

As for Stormy Theater? Here’s my nutshell… she’s a HOE and got paid for being a HOE and now she wants more. Hashtag metoo forever!

I have just read Volumes I and II of Gulag Archipelago. It has taken a while. The book is not an “easy” read. Interesting and well written, with a lot of dry humor woven into the prose, but I’ve had to put it down and just think about the situations described by Solzhenitson, trying to resolve the idea of saving one’s half glass of water for that moment before being taken to the latrine, hoping to relieve the pain of holding one’s waste all day long.

Communists issued ten-year prison sentences like speed cameras issue tickets in heavy traffic areas… and they did so efficiently long before there was an internet.

McCain, having spent so long in a POW camp, should have fought against the militarism of our industry harder than anyone. Instead, he made sure all the perks were in place for himself. That has been a boon to veterans, in many ways, and I don’t begrudge that service to our wounded soldiers. But… I will guarantee McCain’s medical care will be far superior to any most Vets receive. We all get that, don’t we?

Checking in today because I have decided to reconnect to the internet at least once a week. That is right now.

Eric Greitens mistress is an adulteress, she had to know he was married, so there is that. I want to see that picture. Does it exist at all?

I don’t know… but if it does and he took it, he should step down on the grounds of being an idiot.

How nice to see your words again Maglita. I figured you were busy reading all those dusty books purloined from some old professor. Or on some special operation entailing total commitment. The place has not been the same without you.

Where are the other nosensteins wondering if the bunny kits survived the insane and crazy weather we’ve had here in flyover country USSA?

Stucky, you inspire me to be better. I don’t know exactly why, but the image I have of you is along the lines of Paul Bunyan, but with a Noo Joisey nasal twang. Instead of Babe, the blue ox, there is a pack of raccoons stalking you with my faithful JDAWG watching your back, as he walks between Poppa Grooch and your own father.

EC caused this hiatus, of course, with his snarky question about why I was bothering with character names when all I really needed to do was tell the truth.

Well, excuse the “been there done that pragmatic” voice in my head that seems, at times, to be rational and worth a reasonable consideration. There is a line from an old Don Henley song that seems to echo in my head a bit more than it should. Let me see what I have that rings a bell. Something about there being three sides to every story… yours, mine and the cold hard truth.

Which, of course, most closely matches my version.

And, bowing gracefully, teasing with a promise of a photo of the goat pens, new chicken hutch and the new herb garden leading to a little fish pond on the edge of deer camp. I might even share a rare look at the big dog. The real big dog.

By the way, Stucky… I have been on a hell of a journey into learning about foods, nutrition and health. I stumbled onto this dude who just may have the answer about the feminization of men and feminastization of women in this country. TBP platform company excluded…

Oh, and BB? I have one hell of a story for you about an annoying beagle named BeeBee who went for a ride in my husband’s truck with me and managed to convince me he deserved another chance. Dammit. Nick was so SURE I could do it, but a dog isn’t a rabbit and does deserve a chance, if you can provide it.

Is Maggie pulling a Stormy Daniels on me?
I did not have texts with that woman, Miss Maggie.

I’ve missed that snarky humor… however, it has been time well spent.
