Help me George Carlin – you're our only hope!

The Orange Menace’s ghoulish administration, his pack of slavering rapacious jackals have issued an edict – the Center for Disease Control, the nation’s top public health agency, has been prohibited from using seven words when writing their very important reports for the government’s annual spending blueprint.

Why? You can erase the words which describe us, which best illustrate the world, but you can’t eliminate us. We’re here, we’re Science-based, Evidence-based, Diverse, Transgender, Vulnerable, Fetuses AND Queer and we're here to stay! ALSO, by the fucking by, Social Security ain’t no Entitlement! Damn it!

Republicans have been, for yonks, saying that government’s the problem, that it doesn’t work, let's drown it in a bathtub, all while they throw bullshit spanner after crap covered wrench into the works. Now that they’re in charge, they’re incapable of anything else. They can't and don't want to fix any problems. All they're inclined toward is giving rewards/payoffs to their obscenely wealthy donor overlords. So then, they’ve broken it and fixing it is SO not the point of their government "service."

They’re like wilding kids on vicious Mountain Dew and Chips Ahoy benders, given dominion over our lives.

But that’s unfair to sugared up wee ones. At least they're just acting their fevered, impulsive age.

The Y on the weekend is wall to wall short stuff and they’re all zooming around like way overheated particles. Making my way from the first floor entrance, down the main hall and back to the stairs to the second floor workout machines is like running a crazed gauntlet. Yesterday morning, two tykes winged me, very nearly knocking me off my pins like some ignominiously felled Imperial Walker. I managed, stunningly, to stay upright and zipped off, at full speed, for the stairs. The second floor is, generally and happily, a kiddle free zone.

Rugrats – real cute...from a distance.

I arrived in Elliptical Land in one piece and managed to find a TV channel showing Revenge of the Sith. NOT my fave Star Wars ep but better than news or the Food Channel. Which reminded me, The Last Jedi is out NOW! Jen, Oni and I will go see it next weekend (if tickets are still available, that is) and I can’t wait! Daisy Ridley/Rey, and John Boyega are starring once again. Dunno, YET, how much we’ll see of Fisher but General Leia Organa’s in this one too. Yea!

Back to banned words though – we need George Carlin! Is there anyone like him out now? Someone standing up and loudly, hilariously mocking? Where's Spy Magazine in these ungodly days? Who's deriding the predatory, plundering obscenities in power? Humor – it's the best weapon.
