... and the dogs responded accordingly. Marjorie Taylor Greene has her "peach tree dishes," also guaranteed to get the MAGA dogs salivating, even baying.
Marjorie Taylor Greene says the government is planning to “zap” people inside their bodies if they try to eat a real cheeseburger.
I have nothing to add to this depiction by Michael de Adder of a diseased America we would all be well-advised to steer clear of.
In these latter days of our life as a species, there is little that shocks or dismays me. Instead, I find my predominant emotion now is one of disappointment:
Disappointment that we never realized our potential as a species.
Disappointment that our headlong plunge into oblivion is done with eyes wide open, getting and spending, using and abusing, directed mostly by our petty and shortsighted impulses and preoccupations.
Just a brief post.
As a parent of two and a grandfather of one (our granddaughter was born last August), I do not have the stomach, the heart or the psychic strength to really contemplate the ongoing horror that is the United States. Nor can I read or watch the protracted coverage in the media of the self-induced, oh so predictable, massacres that have become a regular part of that blighted landscape.
Although we in Canada have had our share of terrible shootings, the fact that they are rare is largely attributable to the sanity that undergirds our gun laws. It really is as simple as that. Contrast that with all of the misdirected comments about mental illness in the U.S. when the inevitable happens again and again there, with nary a mention of the real underlying cause, the American love of the gun and the the weak laws that fuel that love.
One final note: despite the dimensions of the tragedies, I don't see why Canadian media are spending so much time and so many resources covering what has happened in that alien country. It will not bring back the victims, and, I believe, it blurs the distinctions between us and them.
Note to the U.S. It is time you changed your national motto to one more reflective of your befouled character.
The same, of course, can be said of the other two major contenders in the June 2 election.
Given the dearth of plausible ideas put forth during this campaign slog, I nominate the following as 2022's unofficial anthem for those seeking office:
What is a voter to do other than revert to an 'it's all about me" approach to the world? Voting with principle and integrity seems not within the cribbed philosophy of many. At the very least, they should have the courage to admit their selfish shortsightedness.
The following letter, taken from the print edition of today's Toronto Star, neatly encapsulates the political prostitution a sizable segment of the electorate is willing to engage in:
In which Rudy Giuliani amply illustrates the old adage that it takes one to know one. May the farce be with him.
Marching behind Mayor Adams is
who gets into a shouting match with a Democrat. “You are a jackass… You are a brainwashed asshole… you are probably as demented as Biden,” Giuliani told the guy
