Get your Hot Dog at Alzheimer's on the Potomac
Convince me Chuck Grassley is not one of the two Senators taking Alzheimers Meds filled at Congressional Pharmacy. I been watching and Grassley been weirding wiggling waffling wandering all over the place. And I think there may be some outright falsehoods. I think it is hard not to see the dysfunction. I watched Grassley Town Halls. No wonder some folks do not want to do them. Town Halls are quite an education.
I am further saying Grassley rubber stamps anything his chief of staff puts in front of him cuz he just zombie into the gentleman's club.
Orrin Hatch is second of the Alzheimers Zombie Twins. I got 100 bucks says it is so. And I am financially challenged and I do not gamble. Hatch the Undead Corpse. I say doG??? Please have mercy on a weary people. doG say BE CALM. Breathe. Free will.
Hatch and his invisible glasses.

God? @#$%^!
God - Michelangelo |
My friend, UnitarianUniversalist, asked me in an email "So exactly who or what is God to you."
Asking tough and interesting questions is the Unitarian Jihad! You can participate and get your Jihad name. I am Sister Axe of Sweet Reason.
I am a Fool. I am going to talk about God, in spite of Meister Eckhart's warning. What can I say -- I am imperfect:

I am a Fool. I am going to talk about God, in spite of Meister Eckhart's warning. What can I say -- I am imperfect:
"Be silent therefore, and do not chatter about God, for by chattering about him, you tell lies and commit a sin. If you wish to be perfect and without sin, then do not prattle about God. Also you should not wish to understand anything about God, for God is beyond all understanding. A master says: "If I had a God that I could understand, I would not regard him as God." If you understand anything about him, then he is not in it, and by understanding something of him, you fall into ignorance." - Meister EckhartI do not think God is a Who or a What or even a Why. I think God is a symbol or an idea. God is a construct in my mind that I measure my behavior by and for. The question "Does God have objective reality?" is not relevant for me. I have the God idea bad (or good, depending on where you sit and what cards you hold.
I wonder if I would ever have thought of God had I not been taught about God. There is some interesting stuff to read about a People that do not have a God concept. Nor many symbols at all for that matter. Piraha do not want them. Evidently, in their language they refer to themselves as The Straight People. They do have Fairies and Forest Imps. Think about that for awhile. We know about Piraha because of the work of linguist Daniel L. Everett.
My search for God/Truth/Light has taken me some interesting places, driven by lust and pride and fear in part. I want to avoid the pains of Hell. I wanted to have that overwhelming religious experience that I had seen illustrated on religious cards, that ecstasy and enlightenment. I wanted to be St. Agnes in Triumph with Lilies.
I am troubled by my errors. I want to believe that there is order somewhere and that my actions matter in the grand whirl of the universe. Worst of all -- I wonder if maybe there is no meaning. And if there is no meaning to it all, is that bad or good?
I am having such a good time these days, I do not know what to do with myself. So when I am not eating bon bons, I write diaries. And smile a lot. And wait for comments, if any.

"Simply put, you can be a massive prick, despite what is in your pants." now with Music
Ha ha ha ha ha. Bwah ha ha ha ha. Gasp. Ha ha ha...
And the Artist just keeps posting it to her Facebook page.
And Facebook keeps banning and reinstating her thereby making the image viral.
This is the best election ever. The pastel portrait is, of course, for sale. And Trump, of course, is threatening suit thereby making the image viral.

Just like Bette Davis said: Hold on to your hat. It is going to be a bumpy night...ahh...Election.
Repeating this because of Cavanaugh and his stance on Roe v. Wade and Redpublicans pushing repeal and Cavanaugh for SCOTUS. My sentiment is the same.
Well, so far the Forced Birthers tried bombing us, burning us, killing doctors, maiming nurses, shooting security guards, stalking us, crawling all over us and shaming us. Because they are "prolife." Has not worked. They sent in The Suits. BFD.
Women will remember in November.

Under pressure from Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell (R) and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli (R), the state Board of Health reversed their prior ruling and applied a new trap law designed to shut down every single abortion clinic in the entire state.
In the words of the Most Reverend and Esteemed DriveBy, may the Lord preserve him:
Read your Bible, people. It clearly warns, "Those that Shall vote Republican, Shall have Republican done unto them"

New Internet Cartoons and Cartoonists Magazine
Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words.
Arthur BrisbaneI have been celebrating Cartoons and especially Editorial Cartoonists here on my blog for some time now. I am delighted to learn that September 18 is International Cartoon Day.
This link will take you to the Cartoons and Cartoonists I have posted here on my blog.
I learned about this celebration from TOONS MAG. Their Mission Statement: We believe everyone deserves freedom of speech. Promoting Freedom of Speech through Editorial Cartoon, Comic & Caricature. You want to go there especially if you are interested in the history of cartoon animation.

As newspapers disappear, the places Editorial Cartoonists can publish their work is diminishing. I consider this a political and social tragedy. The Internet a new source for this important and entertaining work to be published. Cartoon Favorite Du Jour by Dan Wasserman.
Dan Wasserman has been cartooning for the BostonGlobe editorial page since 1985. He has published two collections of drawings, We've Been Framed and Paper Cuts. His cartoons are widely reprinted and are syndicated internationally by Tribune Media Services. He draws more quickly than he types.
