Sound Advice

Be kind. You don't know what people are going thru - what special burdens they're under.

So instead of telling them to fuck off,

have a little heart.

Ask them, "How can I help to fuck off today?"

People tell me I'm such a downer because I've got nothing but bad news all day every day.

So, OK - I hear you. And every now and then I want to be of some comfort to my friends and loyal readers, so here's a bit of good news:

Things are great today -

compared with

what's coming tomorrow.

Happy now?

If it was actually possible for women to sleep their way to the top, women would be running the whole goddamned show by now - you dumbass.

The far more likely reality is that men have been engaging in sexual extortion, withholding the rewards and promotions women have earned in order to get sex.

Christianity is what happens when somebody

Imagine being so foolish that you look at that guy -

a treacherous, treasonous, totally corrupt

self-dealing, ignorant buffoon -

a racist, semi-literate dumbass -

a sexually assaulting, pathologically lying

feeble-minded, morally bankrupt

constitutionally ignorant simpleton -

this bloated nitwit, with his piss-colored cotton candy hairdo,

and skin that looks like radioactive slag,

obese, disheveled, and sitting in his own shit -

imagine all that, and thinking,

"Now there's a guy I can admire.

I want my kids to grow up and be just like him."

We accept corruption, sex crimes,

and murder-by-government

from the Republicans.

And reject healthcare, decency, and

a square deal

from the Democrats.

You are nine kinds of fucked up, America.

When the governor says our rights are being violated

and the mayor says our rights are being violated

and the lawyers are saying our rights are being violated

and federal judges are saying our rights are being violated

and the police chiefs are saying our rights are being violated

and the local cops are saying our rights are being violated

but DHS - the assholes who're doing all the violating - insist they aren't ...

maybe our rights are being violated

and maybe our government is nine kinds of fucked up.

Look At Yourself

• When a young girl is raped, and you defend the rapist.
• When a guy shoots and kills a woman on the street, and you defend the shooter.
• When a guy is being totally disrespectful of the women around him, and you say nothing.

• Your cynicism doesn't make you interesting.
• Your smug dismissal of anything that moves normal people to feel sorrow doesn't make you manly.
• Your support for somebody who gets a kick out of pushing people around sure as fuck doesn't make you strong.

Women see and hear your reactions to the shitty things going on all around us - especially when you cheer it on, or you just shrug it off with some stupid epithet that you think is cute.

You're not being clear-eyed and pragmatic - you're being an asshole.

So the "crisis of male loneliness" isn't because there's a problem with women - it's because women are very much aware of what a big fuckin' jerk you are.

Down the road, we'll hear the glad tidings that Trump is dead and gone, that this fledgling plutocracy will have been beaten back into the shadows, and we'll enjoy an occasional slow-news day again, while every MAGA prick will be telling us they were against all this shit the whole time.
