Greg your writing is always thought provoking. That damn bible written by a man started most of the evil that exists on earth. That whopper that Dfg told at the debate has resulted in bomb threats to the local government and schools. Yesterday there was a news story about the origin of pet eating illegal immigrants where the neighbor admitted she misunderstood the story and deleted the post on Facebook! But JV Vance continues to fan the flames. After trump loses again I will still be stuck with JV as a senator. The sooner we banish Trump to his Elba the better off we’ll all be. Loved the show Friday night and podcast was also great!
Thanks, Christine, for watching and listening. I wonder if JV will win re-election. I don't think people liked him to begin with, and they like him even less now...
And wouldn't it be poetic justice if it is a woman who brings the Orange Fool down? I'm talking about Laura the Loon just as much as Kamala the Equalizer.
Thanks for bringing to light another piece of literature that brings some sun to these dark times, people have been on the precipice before and survived. Kamala is a beacon that guides a ship away from crashing on the rocks. She and Tim are not who stands between dipshit 45 and his horror story, Project 2025. Standing between his iniquity and daylight are We the People, at least enough of us to confine him to the dustbin that is his shit hole, Mar-a-Lago or better yet a Moscow on Moskva shit hole. Electing Kamala and Tim, however is only a stop gap. We the People need to do more, ensure Hakeem becomes Speaker and Chuck remains Majority Leader. In order to gain full benefit of sunshine Kamala needs to appoint a real hard ass AG, one who will as best he or she can checkmate the Leonard Leo's black robed stooges.
Singular point, the darkness knows no bounds. Getting to a sunny day is not a one dimensional job, getting K-W elected clearly is the essential first step but only turns darkness to gloom.
Apologies for such a gloomy assessment. Let's hope you know of a great poem about sunshine and happiness, saved for January 20th.
Perfect pitch for this moment. I’ve often mused on where we could exile tRump, like Napoleon was, & keep coming up with Gitmo but Mars sounds equally appealing. Your writing has become integral to my Sunday routine of online or in person Episcopal church, then reading you as a rich addendum, (todays homily was about the social medias)…. Thank you, again.
Mars, Gitmo, St Helena...they can build a wall around Mar a Lago and leave him there. I don't care where he is, as long as we don't have to hear from him ever again.
I don’t know a lot about Napoleon, but was he in power because nearly half of the French population were promoting a campaign willing to lie, cheat and steal to keep him in power? Has the world ever before dealt with an aspiring despot who was also such a talented con artist that he was supported by those who would suffer most under his rule? Oh, right. Germany had one within my lifetime.
Such a lucky man. Just as the media begins issuing negative coverage of the tantrum about Swift, another assassination attempt arrives to divert attention.
Outstanding. You keep outdoing yourself every week.
Thank you, Kathleen!
Greg, as you wax poetic,
"I know someone who sells phony Bibles but doesn’t read a Bible
I know someone who Hates Lovers, and Loves Haters;
I know someone whose compass just spins and spins and spins, knows no True North;
I know someone who doesn’t Know The Way and can’t find his way;
I know someone who constantly exaggerates and Lies to try to feel ok about himself; it just doesn’t work no matter how often he tries;
I know someone who was raised by a Belittler, Bully and Abuser, so he is a Belittler, Bully and Abuser;
I know someone who loves crowds, cannot be in a one on one relationship with integrity, and can’t be alone with himself;
I know someone who surrounds himself with so many sycophants that he has become one;
I know someone who doesn’t love his neighbors and doesn’t want you to Love them either;
I know someone who believes that walls will make good neighbors, not fences with gates;
I know someone who doesn’t believe that there is an Us and Them, only an I and Them;
I know someone who gives snake oil salesmen a bad name;
I know someone who gives snakes a bad name;
I know someone who believes that size matters, and feeds his Ego so much so that it can get Bigger and Bigger, and his Self becomes smaller;
I know someone who cries wolf so often that he has become a predator;
I know someone who hasn’t ever shed a tear for others, but whimpers all of the time;
I know someone who has been married three times and yet has no woman to stand beside him;
I know someone who pushes everyone out of his way and so is alone;"
I think that you also Know that someone.
Great lyrics there, Dennis. Methinks we know the same orange dude...
Love nailed him, sorry I missed this earlier

Oh, Poetic Justice is coming, just as you describe...
So, Greg, what say you now that the man of con has, according to reports, admitted to having "lost by a whisker?" Fun times!
He was joking, Lynell, just making a funny... ; )

"You can take the darkness on the edge of the night
And turn it to a beacon burning endlessly bright."
As Jim Steinman once wrote. That's KH. : )

A 2025 president Trump will bring violent vigilantism.
Yep.

Catherine and Peter and Valdimir the Great?
I don't know enough to know, but Napoleon was at least good at something. But a lot of that, too, was myth, maybe?
Beautiful. Thank you. Good night.
Thank you!

Thanks for another thought-provoking Sunday.
And it barely cracked a dent on social media bc football was on. Ha ha ha.
thanks, Maureen!
Great post, as always
Love your last sentence. Sorry I’m late to the party. Trying to catch up..
