I dealt with a really nice Indian couple yesterday. Probably in their mid 30s, they're buying their first house. They told me something I didn't know: that in India you are always barefoot because wearing shoes inside is considered very bad. They carry that over here in the states, except they permit themselves to wear slippers, that they keep just inside the front door. I don't know about you, but usually I only wear socks inside. The only time I put on my shoes is when I'm going outside.
The Plumber is coming tomorrow morning. Finally, I'll be able to turn on the water and do laundry. I know some of you were probably expecting me to say shower, but I do turn it on briefly for that, but then I turn it off again. Showering takes a few minutes, laundry? The washing part takes at least a half hour, that means a half hour of drip, drip, drip. Sometime this afternoon I'm going to try and remove some of that bad fix I put around the connect so he as free access
Yesterday I gave Howie a Tator Tot to see what he'd do with it.
And last night, in case any of you in America were hiding under a rock, the Orange Anus held his rally in Madison Square Garden. Maybe I should correct that statement, even if you were hiding under a rock, I fairly certain that you've heard the fallout. Wait, fallout is not a strong enough word. Neither is backlash. The alarms have finally begun to go off in the Main Stream Media. Vile and vulgar are just two of the many words I've seen in my morning scans of the headlines, and these are big, front page, bold faced headlines, not those little things they used when they were sanewashing him. I don't know if any of the main media outlets carried Trump's rage storm, but if they did, the average American got and eye and ear full of hatred, of unadulterated white supremacy, of racism, of bigotry. I have this bad feeling that Trump and his allies believe that are terribly in tune with those of America. Boy are they wrong. They are worse than the shit we scrap off our boots. I've said this before, and I'm going to repeat myself again, his Karma / Judgement is coming, and it's going to be bad because the gates of Hell are figuratively going to open for Donald J. Trump.
OMG Howie!!!
ReplyDeleteSo adorable.
And the MSG Nazi hatefest??? OMG You have no idea how many people sent me that video of the 'comic' saying that PR was a bunch of garbage in the ocean. Whoa. It was so bad the Florida Repugs were trying to distance themselves from it ten minutes after it aired.
And that was just ONE of the events that prompted outrage. Of course, many MSM outlets sanewashed it. Ugh. I'm fed up with the kid gloves they use with DonOLD.
XOXO.
The outrage has grown. Evidently this comedian tried out that joke the evening before at some comedy club and it was a hit, at least that's what the GOP is saying.
DeleteHowie will play with it now, eventually he’ll eat the tater and demand more :)
ReplyDeleteThe GOP nightmare at Madison Square Garden had parallels to a similar rally held there in 1939 with Fritz Kuhn and the American nazi bund, no surprise that the GOP show their true colors of red, white and black. :(

Howie did eat it... later. A lot of comparisons are being made between the two, however, I think those Nazi's in 1939 we better organized and look where it got them.
DeleteWhen I was in Morocco I walked straight into someone's (very poor) house with my flip flops on and was mortified when I realized what I'd done. Mind you India (and Morocco) are hot countries so I can't really see going barefoot here all year round. Another thing I realized in Morocco is NEVER to admire something in someone's home. I admired a small tajine and before I knew it it was being wrapped up and given to me!
ReplyDeleteThe climate does have a lot to do with it, but so does dirt. The couple mentioned that the house is thought of as something very special and shoes will track in dirt.
