It Is Not About
Whether or not those
Two imbeciles can out
Imbecile each other
As dumb and dumber or
Petulant and perverted
It is about how long
They can keep up the
Daily divisive distraction
While they keep sending
Money to their banks
As the docile masses
Hover around the
Light emitting screens
All slack-jawed and
Saucer eyed like
“A dog who has just
Been shown a card trick”.
– Bill Hicks
Prepared with
Water cooler gossip of
What they saw and herd*
*(not a spelling error)
Instead of doing what
Jesus might do and
Figure out how to….
According to their
Alleged Christianity
Heal the sick
Feed the hungry and
House the homeless
Forgive transgressions
At least long enough
To figure out how to
Blame these tiffs… on 46
I was going to save this
Until Monday morning
But by then , everything
May have already changed
Back to different chaos
Or crafty capitulation
Looking at the world through a windshield. 
We love weekend posts!!

I wonder if the appearance of the headlines being that everyone is keeping their eye on the stories put out by sources unknown (aka the media ‘authorities’) is the entire goal of the stories. What could be a better distraction than that? The narrative becomes the mirror looking into the mirror of looking into the mirror of looking into the mirror (etc.)
The idea that it impacts anything at all is a good blockbuster tale. Get people’s livers and gall bladders into a twist, sell more drugs, keep eyeballs on screens. When maybe we could just say howdy to a neighbor or cut the toast for an elder or a child. Or just smile to ourselves that ‘hey! we’re alive and that’s pretty nifty.’
Thanks for your posts that make me think that all the time!!!

We must be the mirror looking at itself. It’s time to clean the mirror to make the masks disappear. As Bill Hicks once said, squeegee your third eye. Or more crudely, as Jackie, the Jokeman said, to get a glass bellybutton so that when your head is so far up your a$$, you can see what everyone else is doing . 😁
