After this week, more relevant than ever. She even got the years mostly right it seems.
Well, it was a good ride I guess
“You maniacs! You blew it up! Damn you!” – Colonel Geoge Taylor, “Planet of the Apes”
Oh, I know. The sun comes up, the globe still spins.
I mean, I *am* a pessimist. I generally see the worst in things though my wife and son have helped with that.
But we’ve got a rapist felon heading back to the presidency and – if nothing shady happened – millions of folks put him there because this country just CANNOT fathom the concept of a female as president.
That’s it.
No policy arguments (there are none), no economic angle (Republicans ALWAYS fuck up the economy and yet always seem to get a pass on that). Ethics? Morals? Religion? The guy likely raped a 13 year old girl. You really want to go there Christians?
Nah, I just feel bad for the kids. My kid.
We collectively fucked their futures over in so many ways. And hell, their present to boot. A few will actually die from this, or be violently abused and harmed in ways we haven’t even thought of yet.
They deserve better. All of them. Instead they have us.

Judge orders US Army to release records on Trump’s controversial Arlington Cemetery visit
Back in August, this draft-dodging, troop hating insurrectionist held a campaign event at Arlington National Cemetary and got away with it.
Like he always does.
Now a judge wants the Army’s report on his people shoving military personnel around released.
Nothing will come of it, but nice to have it out there to shove in the faces of his un-American supporters.
How Notre Dame Students Battled The Klan 100 Years Ago
I talk a fair bit of smack about Notre Dame. Their fans are often odious. The school itself expects everyone to bend the rules for them.
But, hey, it wasn’t always like this. They once stood up to the Klan, and that’s worth something. Right?
Breaking Ground – Marketplace
Marketplace has done a series of stories looking at our changing economy, and government investment of it.
In short, a lot has changed, and some of the future is going to be because of Biden’s work in planning for the future. Go figure. We thought it was only about fighting insurrectionists, but it was so much more.
Native voters could swing Arizona. Both parties want their votes
I am not sure why anyone non-white would vote for Trump, but someone has to hold the oven door I guess.
Even so, nice to see Native Americans getting media attention after all this time. Maybe their new political power will turn some things around.
What the hell is wrong with Aryzona?
I mean, I know the answer – and so do you – but still, that’s a lot of violent hate in just one week.
First, there is a shithead finally in custody after not once, nor twice, but THREE TIMES shooting up his local DNC office. Way to go officers! Really on the case in this instance.
The office was eventually closed for safety. I mean, yeah, it wasn’t like the fucking police were trying to protect you!
When they finally got around to searching the guy’s house, they found a long rifle in his car, 120 other guns laying about, and a quarter million rounds of ammo.
Hell, I got paranoid during the pandemic and stocked up on a couple hundred rounds of mixed variety. But a QUARTER MILLION rounds? Nah.
Oh, you think we’re done?
Nuh uh.
ANOTHER Aryzona white boy decided to light up a mailbox being used to collect ballots. More specifically, likely Democratic leaning ballots.
He didn’t mean it though, so he’ll probably walk.
He SHOULD be facing the way, but we don’t punish sedition in this country anymore.
U.S. intel officials say Russia is behind attempts to smear Tim Walz
Russia is spreading lies about the guy who might be our next vice president.
Gee, who benefits from that?
Trump.
You know, the piece of shit threatening to jail or execute anyone on his enemy list.
You can be a lot of things and support Trump, but one of those things is not a patriotic American. Never that.
From rodeos to radio, inside the Arizona fight against misinformation
NPR – when it isn’t airing Trump without any editorial content or clarification that he’s lying – is trying to highlight stories from swing states.
I mean, I want to wish them well, but they have been SO bad over the past decade, at least, but let’s give them this moment.
I’ll highlight some of these stories because they apparently need the encouragement to do the right thing. I gave up being a sustainer a few years ago and I don’t regret it much.
Anyway, here’s a story from Aryzona, where Spanish language radio is part of the process of getting the real story out this election year.
