Locked and loaded

Of course DJT thinks guns in schools are good. What does he see when he peers through a window in the White House? People with guns.

He lives surrounded by guns, uniformed guards and guns. But as with everything else in his misbegotten life, he inhabits an anomaly. 

I want the NRA incorporated as a militia which requires that all members show up twice a month for drills. Especially the Boards of Directors of the gun makers, since they own the NRA. People who own stock in the gun makers. Every political candidate who took donations from the NRA in the last 40 years. Every elected official who voted against gun control. The bastards who deleted the federal database on mentally ill people who should not have guns.  And their children. And Trump’s boys, who enjoy blowing away creatures that can’t fight back. 

You’ve got ready-made instructors: those Bundy-loving survivalists who claim the Feds are taking away their guns.

The crux of evil

The Florida school massacre was bad, beyond bad.  

Coverage wasn't helped by commentators going about how "it's Valentine's Day," as if that had any relation to mass murder.

Those intellectual incompetents was followed by people labeling the bastard "evil" or "crazy."

Crazy is an excuse he must not be given. Evil is a comic-book concept unconnected to the actual world.

James Garner’s title character in “Murphy’s Romance,” advising a boy on the meaning of cowboy hats:

It’s how you wear it that matters. 

Wear it back on your head, that means you like people, you got all day, and your digestion works. 

Tipped over on the side means you’re a rooster and you’re looking for a young lady or a fight, whichever comes first. 

Wear it square on your head low down on your forehead, that means get off the sidewalk and clear a path cause you’re cocked and ready to fire. 

Murphy, the boy and his father all push their hats back on their heads. 

The movie from 1985 was directed by Martin Ritt, and written by Max Schott, Harriet Frank Jr. & Irving Ravetch. 

It's been a long time since I first saw the movie; it finally turned up on premium cable the other night.

If this be treason

President Loudmouth says that people who don't clap for him are traitors.

Where do I find a smart-phone app that rolls out applause and cheers? Fake-sounding applause and cheers.

IQ Diarrhea Central

I'm nearly convinced that the Prez didn't collude with Russians, or anybody else.

His brain empties into his flapping mouth; he'd never keep it secret.

The people around him are witless, but if there is a Colluder, he was clever enough to keep it a secret from DJT.

Blip me running

The Roku-TV conspiracy has been resolved.

Wednesday afternoon, Speckles circled around, seeking to distract me from the computer. I didn't respond.

He walked in front of the monitor and jumped to the TV stand, where he promptly sat on the Roku remote.

The TV turned on; the Roku home screen appeared.

I pulled the remote from under his cute little Manx butt and dropped it in a drawer. He's good at opening the kitchen cabinets but he's never opened a drawer. Yet.

Here's Speckles' "who me?" face.
