I Accuse (This is Very Political)

I accuse that horrible man of:
­
Abandoning our allies to Putin
Being a Russian asset
Enabling and encouraging bullies
Being willfully ignorant
Trampling on our constitution
Working towards a one-party state
Intimidating politicians
Intimidating even politicians of his party with threats of violence.
Gutting agencies that we paid for, just because they return our tax dollars to the lower 98%
Destroying governmental agencies that are essential to our nation’s security because he’s too lazy to investigate.
Destroying the wonderful Christian faith by converting huge numbers of them to worshipping him and hatred
Of making all sorts of people live in fear, including outspoken women, political opponents, handicapped people, and immigrants.
Of making America a highly divided country.
Of creating tensions within households of Republicans and Democrats, people who not too long ago lived in harmony. (My parents were such people and they amicably split their vote for over 50 years.)
Of an insane tariff war is not only savaging our economy, but our trading partners as well.
On a personal note, I have no source of outside income, except a little bit from Social Security, so most of my income comes from investments have been damaged from his tariff tantrum.

I have to go now. I’m so upset, that it’s making my Parkinson’s disease flare up.

What Won the West?

Settlers, railroaders, stagecoach drivers, school marms, hard-working plowers, tenacious women farmers, gamblers, and soldiers wrested control of the Wild West and made it their own. What made their victory possible? Grit? Endurance? Faith?

None of this.

It was beef as this sign I picked up in Dodge City demonstrates.

Proof you cannot deny,

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Phrase:  Airport Eyes Syndrome

How many times has this happened to you? You’re standing still in an airport terminal looking at the departures board when someone slams into your side. Or you see them coming. You know you’re in their field of vision. You don’t move, confident that they’ll take steps to avoid you. Your confidence is misplaced.

Or you’re inside the plane waiting to find your seats. The person before you and your toddler son happens to be a man toting a humongous carry-on bag. He could lift his bag straight up into the overhead bin, but instead makes a large sweeping motion with his bag to get the necessary height. One small worry, your toddler’s tiny head is in the way of the gargantuan carry-on bag. Will the enormous bag kill your young son when it crashes into his tiny skull? Or will it merely cause irreparable brain damage? No, it won’t. Your belief in humanity has prepared you for such a thing and you easily block the turd ball’s bag. The turd ball merely registers mild surprise when his bag stops. (This actually happened to me! May the turd ball rot in Hell for all eternity eating lutefisk for each and every meal.)

Ahem. There must be a phrase for this sort of blindness.

And now there is:
