Failure: The Only Option

Wednesday. Our skies are slightly overcast.  There is a bit of humidity in the air.  I did laundry yesterday but used the dryer because rain was in the forecast, and rain it did.  Lotsa rain.  We had some wind on my little hilltop, however in the areas surrounding me trees were blown over.  Everybody got the rain.  Some places got inches.  There are tons of pictures of flooded streets and trees down.  Forecasters are predicting today to be rather calm; not as hot and not as humid.  Tomorrow the threat of thunderstorms returns.

My aquariums need a light cleaning, that will be taken care of this afternoon.  Cleaning.  That's actually what's in store for today.  There are many small chores which need to be taken care of, including at least two more loads of laundry.   

Jimmy Swaggart died yesterday.  He was a scumbag televangelist.  Over the years, my mom sent him hundreds of dollars.  At one point when she was in the hospital after a heart attack she asked me to take her Discover card and send him $30 and ask him to pray for her.  I did not.  He was a soulless Christian who preyed on the naive and gullible.  An indicator of how morally bereft he was came this morning when the Orange Anus praised him, telling the naive and gullible how good he was; Orangie and Swaggart were cut from the same cloth.

For those of you who are curious, here's a picture of my carrot.

Yesterday was a big day in Washington.  Vance, the vice president, was the tie breaking vote in Orangie's big transfer of wealth.  Idiot cultists are dancing around singing "yes, yes, let's make the 1% richer!"  That minority group has no idea what they are going to be getting if the House of Representatives passes this piece of shit legislation.  76% of Americans are against this bill, of course Republicans only care about their wealthy benefactors.

There were a number of clips with Lisa Murkowski being confronted by a reporter asking about her vote.  She actually attempted to stare him down.  When that failed, she gave some lame excuse of how, knowing that the legislation was truly terrible, she attempted to carve out a tiny safety net for Alaskans.  If the bill was that bad, she should have voted against it, but then that would have been going against party lines.

What Murkowski and so many other Republicans fail to understand is that Orangie's approval rating has dropped to 32%.  He's entering into W. Bush's territory.  The country is growing angrier and angrier and Republicans don't care and right now it looks like failure is their only option.

Jimmy Swaggart - Christian Parasite

I had a nice conversation with my brother this morning about our Mother who will be 80 on July 1.  She had, some time ago, said that she wanted me to added to her checking account so, should the need arise, I'd be able to write checks.  We haven't really pushed this since she is still mentally aware.  However, while I was visiting her yesterday she said she'd been watching Jimmy Swaggart.  It was the mention of his name which actually prompted this morning's conversation.  Many years ago my grandmother had been a fan his and upon her death discovered she'd been sending him checks regularly.  What appalled us was the total dollar amount she'd given, $10 or $25 every week for over four years, all from an elderly woman living only on social security.  That's a lot of money given to a man who's been caught whoring twice, at least that's the number of times it's made it into the news.  In my book that makes him a whore monger.  He is one of those unfortunate evils in Christianity, a Christian Parasite, preying upon the weak, the elderly, the down trodden.  "Let the Lord into your hearts and send me your dollars, now watch me cry so I can prove my sincerity."  This guy is the scum.  This is why either my brother, or myself, is going to have access to her checking account.  You see our Mother is living on a fixed income.  We do not want her sending money to this blood sucker which might be needed to pay for her medications, and she has several.  We do not want her trying to survive on $1.50 frozen dinners in order for his 'ministries' to buy him a new car.  He is worse then at persistent mosquito which drones near your ear in the middle of the night.  Eventually that mosquito will either fly away or bite you once and then fly away.  Swaggart is constantly droning in your ear "Let the Lord into your hearts and send me your dollars."
