Loose Nips Sink Ships!

Republicans are learning!
They are moving on!

All that fascination they have shown
with respect to women's vaginas--
regulating abortions, probing private parts,
denying funding to Women's Clinics
for fear they will educate people about birth control,
or permit abortions even when the mother's life
is at stake--cost the Party dearly at the ballot box.

So Republicans are putting all of that behind them,
and are getting serious about the business of government.

In North Carolina, Republican legislators
are taking up the matter of nip slips;
you know, accidentally or deliberately
allowing a breast nipple to public view.
They are coming down hard on women's nipples!

After all, western civilization is at stake.
Be honest: what would you do if ever
you caught sight of a woman's nipple?

I thought so! Turn you into a mad dog!
Make you go home and ask your wife if she has some.
Cause you to ask what they are for!
Mess up your shirt and tie with drool.

North Carolina Republicans are pioneering the way
for the whole Republican Party to go forward.

I used to think it was criminal for Congress
to work only Tuesday through Thursday,
but I may have gotten that all wrong.

As a footnote, let me note that I usually include a picture

with my blog articles, but my mind is so addled

by the subject matter of this one that I have chosen not to.

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. ...

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...
