Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

Cracker Jack Conservatives

Can you believe today's Wednesday?  It is Wednesday, isn't it?  Seems like yesterday was only Tuesday... or was it Monday?  Wait, let me look at my calendar. Yep, it's Wednesday!  This used to be Hump Day for a lot of people.  I suppose if you're working from home it is... kind of... in a really odd sort of way.  If you're under a Stay at Home order and you're unemployed the day doesn't really matter, does it?
So, last evening I'm formatting the manuscript for publication and after I get the margins set I see The Body in the Well is 497 pages long.  Wrong.  And then I realized I had forgotten to change the line spacing.  The original manuscript is double spaced between lines so I have room to pen in notes and do corrections on the hard copy.   A quick fix knocked that page count down quite a bit.  The last thing I want to do is overwhelm people with size.
I saw that Frankie Graham is annoyed because people are questioning his radicalized values.  That little hospital his Christian group set up in Central Park is drawing fire.  In order to work there you need to sign some Cracker Jack document denouncing same sex marriage.  He doesn't understand why people object to him passing judgement on human beings.
And then there's Trey Hollingsworth, a Republican from Indiana who says "it's time to put on our big boy and big girl pants" and accept the fact that opening the economy is more important than saving lives.  Spoken like a true Republican, you know?  He's one of the nuts in the box of Cracker Jacks.  It seems quite a number of the Idiot Jerk's base are thinking along the same lines.  That's what makes them Cracker Jack Christians and, I'm sure, being members of that cult, few of them have any problem with dying early.
The Idiot Jerk is also desperately trying to blame WHO and China for his shitty job.  Unfortunately for him, his history of job performance is not good.  There are a slew of products and services which have borne his name that have failed, from Ties, to Steaks, to a scamfest University.  There are evidently a whole boatload of lawsuits waiting for him the moment he's voted out of office.  I suspect his attorneys have been keeping this from him.  They know this man is far more stupid than he looks.
Finally, I took another pic of my bulbs yesterday.  They're going to be really nice when fully bloomed.  Since it's not supposed to be breezy today, I want to give all of my roses their first dose of spray to keep away the black spot.

  1. Dave, those flowers are lovely.

    I adore Spring for this, amongst other beauties in the nature! :)

    1. I like all seasons: spring for its colors, and summer for its tan lines, the fall palette is calming and relaxing, and winter brings us cleansing snow... well, not this past winter.

  2. My number one reason for staying inside is so I don't have to go to one of those make shift hospitals in the area. I'd stay home and die.

    1. Quite a few prefer staying home, but having issues breathing means a quick trip to get some meds. Around here only the truly critical cases get hospitalized.

  5. Ok, so first. You do enjoy overwhelming people with size. Don’t lie. Second, days do seem to merge into each other. I’ve gotten into a routine to make them stand out and not go cray (well, crazier).
    As for the xtianists and Repugs, nothing surprises me anymore. Nothing. Craven and bigoted is their natural state. Graham is pushing his agenda and excluding lgbtq people from his ‘hospital’ perfect example of a Talibangelical.
    And Cheeto is out of control. His White House mini rallies are riddled with lies and virtual informercials. Really. Why do networks keep airing them? CNN’ chyrons were absolutely hysterical calling his bullshit, though.
    And love your flowers. Today we had snow here and I was thinking about all the little plants.

    XoXo

    1. I think most of the networks are cutting back on the mini-rallies. ABC seems to be doing snippets, cutting away for analysis.
      Snow! We have cool and crisp, but no snow.

  6. Yes I saw that last night, so apparently now... this week anyway... it was the WHO that caused him to do a bad job and all this time I just thought he was incompetent.

    1. Incompetent? You are so very kind. I'm fairly generous by nature... but even I could not be that kind.

  7. Your flowers are beautiful. Spring is good. The idiot is really good at blaming everyone else. That is his specialty.

    1. His problem is that every time he blames someone else, he ends up publicly shitting in his pants.
