The Defensive Aspects of Exceptionalism

There’s more to exceptionalism than parading around like God’s gift. There’s a defensive aspect to it. How do Americans explain that, when you cross the border into Canada, you’re in another world? 

They can’t. They won’t. They don’t explain it. They deny. Whatever WE are it’s better, BY DEFINITION. See how this fits with racism? Some people are better than others, de facto. Behaviors don’t enter into it. 

Armageddon? What’s Not to Like?

Kayleigh McEnany and the Arkansas inbreds have taken over press operations at the White House. Remember, these are public employees — paid by us. They keep their jobs at the pleasure and whim of the president.

But they are supposed to work for us. There’s a secret, though. They really work for Jesus. And Jesus is dying to come back. If everything resembles the end times they like it. Nobody says “end times” like Trump. 

Plague Store

Republicans have a captive market. It's us. And all they sell is plagues . . .

A Smashing Success

Republicans have found their wrecking ball. Nobody better than Trump . . .

Ass Licker Decries Show of Character

Ass licker and degraded Trump acolyte Mike Pence has criticized John Roberts for having signaled he might have a conscience. We don’t know if Roberts has one but the jury is in on Pence.

Days of Wine and COVID

I love my house. I love my car. I love my land and my garden and even my shop though it’s a store-and-lock now. I love my friends and my family. I love my dog and dogs generally. I love to eat what I cook and the opportunities I have to buy and cook almost anything. 

I love my memories. Most of them, anyway. I wish I could say “no regrets” but I have many regrets. I can live with it because I know how fortunate I am. I love the opportunities I have to read anything I want. I love outdoor showers and saunas (I have one at my house).

I could go on. This all occurred to me in a moment as I was walking out the door and through the carport to take a refreshing shower after working hard and I think I owe it to COVID. The virus has made me more appreciative. I am so fucking lucky. I hope it lasts.
