Do people think we are stupid?

Well, OK!, Barack HeReallyDoesn'tExist Obama first showed us his Birth Certificate--the one that proves that his mother gave birth to him in Kenya or Indonesia and then flew immediately to Hawaii and talked two newspapers and a hospital staff into saying that he had been born in Hawaii.  It was the usual kind of certificate; the one we all get when we ask for one.


Now Barack HRDE Obama asked the State of Hawaii to give him the long version of his tall tale about having been born almost as if he were an ordinary person with a mother and a father and everything.  


Will this deceit never end?  Everybody knows that Barack Obama does not exist!  There is no Black man as President in the White House!  It is all a lie!  It simply cannot be, and is not, true!


He never went to Occidental College, or to Columbia University.  He never went to Harvard Law School.  He was never Editor of the Harvard Law Review.  He never taught Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago.  Barack Obama is not Our President.  He cannot be our President because he does not exist!  It is pure and simple logic:  no Black man can possibly be President!  Therefore, President Obama does not exist!  That's it!  Period!  Cogito, ergo sum stupid!  


If God had intended for either women or Black people to be President, don't you think we would have had one by now?  


All men are not created equal.  Women, either.  I think it is safe to say that even if Barack Obama did exist, he would probably be equal to about 3/5ths of an ordinary human being.  It says, right in the Constitution, that Black people and women cannot vote, but just for counting purposes, Black people should be counted as 3/5ths of a person.  (I guess, maybe, it just used to say that, but, anyway, he doesn't exist, anyway.)


A long birth certificate!  Yeah!  


(Just as an aside, who is that Black woman with the two kids who seems to live in the White House?)

Friends-- My step-father of 35 years died this morning. His name was Conrad Royksund. He was 86 years old. He was born into poverty on a farm near Puyallup, WA. He was the first member of his family to attend college and earned a PhD from the University of Chicago. He paid his way through all of that by fishing in Alaska. He spent his professional career as a college professor. I met him when I was just 3 years old and don't actually have any memories of my life befor e he was in it. He was intimidatingly smart, funny as hell, and worked his ass off. He taught me to meet people with kindness and decency until I was certain they could not be trusted. He taught me to meet ideas with carving knives until I was certain they could. I will remember him as one of the bravest, most curious, and funniest people I have ever met. He left this world with a satisfied mind. We are so grateful. Dan Hubbard

The Sea is Rising

Let us just step back:  two hundred and fifty years ago, or so, the ships of England and Spain had drifted onto a whole new continent, as they saw it, from far north to a savagely cold south; pole to pole, as if there were such things. Millions of people already lived here, some of them still hunters and gatherers; some of them very wealthy, indeed!  Gold and silver stolen from the southern Americas funded Spanish and English dreams. There was land, lots of land, under starry skies above, rich land, and oil and coal and iron ore.  The whole western world learned how to build industries not on simple muscle power, but on steam and oil.  We farmed, too, of course.  All we needed was cheap labor--slave labor from Africa, mostly, so the ships came with slave labor.  Chinese labor built railroad beds where there had been rock cliffs. Europeans, long used to killing each other for good, religious reasons, brought their religious savagery with them.  Even when all they wanted to do w

That's all we want: fairness! Not more guns and more war! Fairness!

The five police officers who were killed in Dallas are certainly not the officers who killed innocent citizens. There is more than enough tragedy to go around. "What is happening to our country?", Mari asked this morning. I had no answer.  We do have an answer.  We do not want to say it. There are lots of answers, all of them pertinent. We are a racist society, like most human societies. We are a society in the midst of enormous changes-- social, political, economic--and we do not know what to do about it. We are divided unsustainably into absurdly rich, and an enormous number of crumbling middle class families, and poor. We have guns everywhere; military guns, guns just for killing people, cheap guns, heroes carrying guns into churches and supermarkets, idiots who think guns ought to be allowed in bars and schools and ball games and beauty parlors and political rallies. Our political process is almost useless. There are good people in Congress, but there
