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

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...

On Watching a Formerly Sane Man Descend into Abject Religion

If you read the previous post, you know the apparatus, pictured here, is a torture machine. There are ten of them in our house, purportedly to circulate air to dry out all the problems caused by a water leak. We live in Tucson:  it has not rained in Tucson since the Gadsden Purchase. A mudslide the size of the one in Washington State could course through our neighborhood and it would be bone-dry and stone-hard before it quit moving. I suspect it is the CIA, and probably the Border Patrol! We are, after all, only about a hundred miles from the border. I fully expect a large suburban assault vehicle to pull up to the house, and for lots of people with UPPER CASE LETTERS on their shirts to interrogate us, and I will have to explain that all the drugs I use come from Walgreens and Total Wine. But it won't work.  Our minds are going. We are getting short with each other and, if they promise to turn off the fans, I will confess to having invented the Arab...
