    No game today. I'm feeling more than a little sore and don't care to pop any oxy or two just to play.
    I have to make a few calls, but may do a breakfast with the old union gang tomorrow morning.

    Discussions always include how much Republicans suck.

    It's not out of the question that the waitress's tush might be discussed as well,
    but she'll be treaded respectfully and tipped well.
    They're all pretty nice to us old timers.

    I suppose that if I were a young woman who couldn't hit, field, or throw, I might try soccer instead of softball as well.

    Independents stand for nothing other than apathy. They're not in the game. They complain a lot, but that's about it.

    While multiple parties make sense to me, people always say "third party" as though that were some form of panacea.

    They don't even give any explanation as to situating this third party ideologically.

    As long as it's not Democratic or Republican, it will help solve the problem.

    Also, those who seek to establish an alternate party always do it with a presidential candidate.
    They don't have so much as a fucking local school committee member anywhere, but they want a third party president with NO congressional or state support whatsoever.

    This type of lunacy shouldn't be encouraged or even tolerated.
    These idiots need to be institutionalized.

    It's not whether or not the Republican Party has earned parity with the Ku Klux Klan or not.
    It most obviously has.

    The real question is whether or not so doing has marginalized them.
    It doesn't seem to have.
    They still have tens of millions of followers.

    The only conclusion to be logically drawn is that almost half of the American electorate is comprised of truly vile troglodytes.

    This is what the "true believers" among us refuse to acknowledge.
    And this refusal to deal with reality is what makes "true believers" as toxic to this republic as trumpanzees are.

    All Republicans without exception are useless to the cause of American excellence.
    NOT all Democrats are useful to that cause, however.
    The ones who have yet to toughen up and face reality are themselves a big problem.

    Slow Friday.

    I returned from my breakfast social and nobody's here.

    For what it's worth, the cholesterol orgy was delicious as usual.

    My arteries will go down as heroes.

    E Pluribus unum has become our death wish.

    Failing to partition will result in anarchy, and anarchy will be contained by a North Korean like dystopia
    because it can't be repaired by democratic means.

    Sox vs. Yanks again tonight.

    I've been watching this rivalry since the early 1950s.
    It's been taking place since 1903, the Yanks' first season. [Sox started in 1901.]

    I'll never get sick of it.

    I'll never, in fact, get enough of it.

    I have decades of images burned in my mind,
    and the times of my life that correlate with them
    are thus brought back into memory too.

    Middle America may have Cubs vs. Cardinals.
    I suppose that's better than nothing.
    But really....

    I think that's 9 out of 11 against the Yankees so far this year.
    Two more to play this weekend.

    There's nothing that beats Red Sox vs. Yankees for a septuagenarian Bostonian.

    storming the capitol should no longer be necessary.


    They have discovered how unnecessary it was to start the previous civil war by firing on Fort Sumter.
    They could have just stayed home and done it in a perfectly constitutionally compliant way.

    Rural Christian conservatives are able to destroy the republic as a minority
    because the genius founders provided them the right to do it.

    What's worse, the confederates are not merely seeking separation anymore.
    Now, they want to take over the whole thing.
    That, however, they can only do with our help.
    Blue States have legislatures as well. Also, a fuck of a lot more money.

    Civilized progressive liberals have got to wake up.
    We no longer have the luxury of believing in the idyllic America that we were told about by clueless grade school teachers.
    It was a nice thought, but it was total bullshit. We should be easily able to see that now.

    There are people in the middle of this country who hate us,
    who hate our modern and humane ideas,
    who worship a magic man in the sky,
    and who believe that the magic man wants them in charge.
    They have lots of guns.
    They have no brains whatsoever.

    The centrists and fence-sitters among us are not neutral;
    they're clearly on the side of the shitkicker crackers.
    They're all Joe Manchin without the expensive haircuts that they wouldn't be able to get back in their home states such as West Virginia.

    So now, non-devolved, still with functioning brains humans, what do you plan to do about it?
    You're not all pushing seventy-five.
    Most of you will have to be here for a long, long time.
    Do you wish to live like a human being,
    or like a devolved mutant trumpanzee?

    I have been the only contributor on this forum to remind you of what should have been obvious.

    We have radical problems,
    and there are NO moderate solutions to radical problems.

    You can continue to be panty-waists fellating your precious constitution,
    or you can decide that you'll do WHATEVER IT TAKES
    to not live like some drooling cracker like the ones you've met here at JPP.
    yep. you can't erode freedom by degenerating the masses in your fucking human on human predation cess pool cities.

    this is the beauty of a constitutional republic. this is wisdom.

    Yesterday was a day of work…reclaiming my shop. Got to find a new parking place for my old 8N Ford tractor and brush hog. Dividing my shop into metalworking/woodworking. As I get older I realize how much stuff I have accumulated by realizing that I have run out of places to store it.

    Church tomorrow, golf Monday…after the people with jobs whack away at it this weekend then return to work.

    Niece and her children are visiting from Mississippi so we’re having a shindig at my dads tonight. Made some cream cheese stuffed, bacon wrapped jalapeņos, half wrapped with good old made from a pig bacon and the other half (for a healthier choice) wrapped in my home made deer bacon.

    Deer bacon? Church? Workshop? Leaning has it all covered.

    Interesting concepts indeed.

    Is weekday golf sufficient to classify us as being part of the same species?

    Either way, it takes all kinds of us to make this silly planet spin, I guess.

    Sox-Yanks at 4PM EDT. I'm going to get my recliner warmed up.

    I'll find a place to situate my new workshop another time.

    Horrific loss to Yankees today.

    We have to cuff them around on Sunday or my whole summer could be ruined.
