I like this guy for Pennsylvania Senator.

Working Class Hero

Fetterman understands that the only legitimate role of government is to 'provide for the general welfare.'

Fetterman walks the walk; he does not make 'talk talk talk' and do nothing. I like that in a person. I especially like that in my Senators.

Toomey is a tool. And Toomey is majorly responsible for the last terrible train crash in Pennsylvania near my home in Frankford. Toomey also voted to defund Planned Parenthood. That made it personal. I have daughters.

In an interview on Hardball, Toomey said, “I think that Roe v. Wade was wrongly defined, wrongly decided and I think states should be free to restrict abortion and I would support legislation in Pennsylvania that would ban abortion and I would suggest that we have penalties for doctors who perform them if we were able to pass that law.” [MSNBC, 8/5/09]

Sestak is boring but acceptable progressive. Nothing to dislike about Sestak except he lost to Toomey. Can he win? Be good if he did. Katie McGinty seems good. I feel John Fetterman. Hmmm. Maybe I got the hots for John Fetterman. Desire never dies.

Fetterman is the real creative energized caring deal. He has the fire. Fetterman is the working class hero. My kind of guy.

ART BY TERRY BRADLEY.

Republicans are not a Protected Class. Neener neener neener. UPDATE AGAIN.

Okay, finally I can laugh at the bloody mess we are in. Thank you God. I was getting tired of alternating despair/anger/shock. 

Tucker Carlson takes on Mathew Blachfield, the anti-Trump CEO of "1st in SEO" who is refusing to do business with anyone who supported Donald Trump. (November 23rd, 2016)

All Tucker's argument is a mix of shaming, blaming and misquotation. Weak. So weak. Republicans are not a protected class. You think they are feeling a bit threatened? What if everybody does not go along to get along? Bwah ha ha ha ha. Breathe. Ha ha ha ha ha. 

UPDATE - FUX SNOOZE does not want you to see this clip. They reached into this small insignificant blog to snatch it out of the article for 'copyright issues.' Something in this FUX does not want folks to know maybe. I just noticed the change. So I thought would be an excellent idea to run it again. I think I have a right as a reporter and cultural icon, to use things if I have an educational or journalistic purpose. Maybe I should run my OCCUPY banner again. 

Another small business shuts down the fascist hate machine.

The American Family Association is calling for a boycott of Target after the retail giant said it would allow men to use the women's restrooms and dressing rooms in their stores.
On its web site, Target announced, "[W]e welcome transgender team members and guests to use the restroom or fitting room facility that corresponds with their gender identity. ...Everyone deserves to feel like they belong."

2nd Vote wanted to remind shoppers where not to spend their Black Friday dollars. Turns out, their web hosting company didn’t take too kindly to the campaign and made the unilateral decision to shut 2nd Vote’s website down!

Leadpages, the company in charge of keeping the site up and running, pulled the plug after the #AnywhereButTARGET movement started gaining steam. In a letter from the company’s director of operations, Leadpages accuses 2nd Vote of being “hateful” and “discriminatory” for wanting to protect consumers from sexual predators. - Tony Perkins press release courtesy of JoeMyGod. Read the entire press release at link.

Bernie Sanders is a Work of Art - UPDATE

Portrait of Bernie Sanders by Buddy McCue

UPDATE: BERNIE DOING HIS BERNIE THING

Burlington Snow

written for Bernie Sanders by Allen Ginsberg

Socialist snow on the streets
Socialist talk in the Maverick bookstore
Socialist kids sucking socialist lollipops
Socialist poetry in socialist mouths
—aren’t the birds frozen socialists?
Aren’t the snowclouds blocking the airfield
Social Democratic Appeasement?
Isn’t the socialist sky owned by
the socialist sun?
Earth itself socialist, forests, rivers, lakes
furry mountains, socialist salt
in oceans?
Isn’t this poem socialist? It doesn’t
belong to me anymore.

What is a Pussy Grab? - Repeated for the Gymnasts testifying.

We talk about PUSSY GRAB but nobody really defines the event. It does not sound all that bad. Sounds kind of cute and a bit funny. Some Republican said "What assault. There was no sex. Nothing really happened. She got away."

Anybody want to tell me this event is not sexual assault? I was frightened and humiliated. Did I get away?

The Cartoon Artist in this article is Steve Stack. Man is a SuperStar. Say his Name. 

I was 15 and babysitting for my Mother's friend, Ada Jean. I admired Ada Jean's collection of sparkly dangly earrings and thought her so sophisticated and glamorous. Ada and Hubby were dressed for dancing. I had my PJs on and was about to go to sleep. Her husband came into the bedroom. He pussy grabbed me and told me he would "be back to see me soon."

This is how a pussy grab works. You put your thumb at the top of the cleft, press hard to get through the vaginal lips with another finger, and stick the finger(s) into the vagina as far as the PJs will go and scratch the inside lining of the entrance to the vagina with a fingernail. I was a virgin. He hurt me for fun. I said nothing to my Mother. I felt confused and ashamed. I had no idea what sex was. That was how you kept girls pure in 1950s; you kept them ignorant. Soon came a week later.

Nobody locked their doors in 1958. I was home in curlers by myself. Manpig came into the house with his trousers unzipped, a hard on in hand with condom and said "See, I wore this just for you." I was calculating how I was going to defend myself when he inexplicably left without further ado. Never saw him again. Never saw a grown man's penis before that. No big deal, right?

I told my Mother. My Mother called Ada Jean and I listened to the conversation. His wife and my Mother knew he did things like that. They knew. They did not protect me but at least they believed me. Mom believed me because the Sexpig grabbed her by the pussy. Did anybody call the cops? Nope. Nothing happened, right? Little pussy grab.

TROLL DISAPPOINTED

“. . . it's dangerous to fool yourself into believing the online world is 'virtual' and the person behind the keyboard can't inflict real-life harm.”
― Ginger Gorman, Troll Hunting: Inside the World of Online Hate and its Human Fallout

“Certainly it constitutes bad news when the people who agree with you are buggier than batshit.”
― Philip K. Dick

Although it may not be obvious at first, your Troll has a goal. Never give it satisfaction or success once you have figured out what it wants. The simplest and best response of all is NO THANK YOU.

Do not feed Trolls. Take this aphorism to the maximum. Do not feed political Trolls and Ivanbots on social media. Peace must begin here at home where we live and have our being. I thought this Talk was useful. 

That said, I must admit I Troll the Internet. My Jessica said "Face it, Mom. You are a Troll." Yeah, well I am a Troll for Good. If you want to beat them, join them. 

Infant and Mother Mortality in America

The Artist is Favianna Rodriguez.

Anthropologically speaking. H. sapiens has three strategies and three strategies only for control of reproduction (births) = contraception, abortion and infanticide/child abandonment. All three strategies are practiced around the world in every culture, currently and historically.

Those who restrict abortion and contraception make infanticide and maternal death inevitable. We have many in vitro examples of this. The one that haunts me the most at the moment is the mass grave of infants at Tuam. Anti Choice Zealots do not occupy the moral high ground.
https://humandefense.com/un-declares-abortion-a-human-right/

More American women are dying of pregnancy-related complications than any other developed country. Only in the U.S. has the rate of women who die been rising.
https://www.npr.org/2017/05...

Our infant mortality rate is a national embarrassment
https://www.washingtonpost....

Texas’ maternal death rates top most industrialized countries. Infant mortality rates vary by race.

Reproduction is serious business for women. Abortion and contraception are human rights, both part of comprehensive health care for women.

Senor PuttingItIn Sighs "Bozhe moy!"

Spring is here and bipolar bunnies like me can think and hop again. I told you I was Struck Dumb. So I put this together. And then I found the perfect illustration on Raw Story comment. Count on Cagle Cartoonists. They are the bomb! 

I have not paid them for this cartoon. I feel guilty. google has denied me the use of adsense. I am thinking about putting up a paypal contribution link so I can afford to stop pirating great cartoons.

We are Chimpanzees with a bit of extra brain power. Cannot refute such an obvious fact. I like Martin Buber: 'One must work to be good, but one happens to be evil.' Hope and faith in humanity against all the evidence.

Donnie Bonespurs
Wanted to be Prez.
Quick he hired an audience
To claque for what He sez.

"See my swagger? G.O.P.
I will grab your pu^^y.
You will elect me.
Just you wait and see."

Donnie Bonespurs
Got elected Prez.
Everybody gasps and laughs
At all he done and sez.

Now Senor PuttingItIn
Sighs "Bozhe moy!
I have so enjoyed
My fat American toy.

I get tired of it all. - or - My Adventure among the Twats. UPDATE !!

GO ELON! IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY. GO ELON!

So I got thrown off twatter again. I have a lot to say about my brief twatter adventure. I was Irene Adler. What did I do? As you can see Larry Motuz, I have improved. I did not write FUCK. So there. I wrote this:

You come anywhere near my daughters IN REAL LIFE to enforce your agenda on their bodies and minds, I will rip your gonads off, nail your penis to my front door and urinate on your bleeding spasming body. We clear?

BACK - Some quick observations.

I will add bits and pieces as I process getting thrown off for the third time. I was having fun. So was my audience. I knew writing what I wrote would get me thrown out. I just got so I wanted to puke over twatter culture. Was a stupid thing to do. I will show you - I will hurt me. I thought I gave that baby shyte rage up.

twatter is a stratified society, You have Blue Check people and everybody else.. So I tried to get blue checked. I want to be known. I am the Second Funniest Comedian in Philly. Hat tip to Rose Wild. I do not make the cut evidently. No dice. 

My reader rate went up. I linked articles when it was appropriate. That was nice. In my messages appeared an NEW offer to write short editorials along with all the things they were going to do for me. No payment schedule. 

It is not considered abuse if wombnazis call you 'murderer and low class and uneducated'. If you fight back at the level of insult you are receiving, the abuser rats you out with friends. I never rat anybody out.

Anybody else comment on aol boards? It was the Cadillac of commenting systems. Rather bad service we are receiving today. AOL had real people moderating, not algorithms and censorbots.

I did a gospel type call and response as a social experiment. This was the CALL:

I really am going to write a second verse. Any of the "woke left" can help with another verse. Why I have to do all the work?
Lauren Boebert is so perfect. 

Oh what can we do? 

She's an insurrectionist 

And homicidal too.

This was the RESPONSE: Many were written. Hope I can find them again. I will publish them. They were GREAT.
