Marzo; in like a lyin’

politician* as Greg Abbott proclaimed  the current president is releasing hordes of covid-infected illegals into his Sovereign State...

which may explain why even after lifting an “unnecessary” mask ordinance and declaring “business as usual” statewide infection rates failed to subside…it’s a magical place, Texas.

The Magic Kingdom, oh yeah…same for here, but different, as

March winds blew in but failed to discourage

breakfasts [albeit a little chilly] and

lunches outside

in our Land of Ubiquitous Flags.  At least Phil’** isn’t flying the Blue Police States America

banners the sportsbar sports around the corner favor. Patriots! or…a buncha turkeys…

but who am I to judge?

With better weather we begin to enjoy random if rare sightings of vintage vehicles

in among the banalities and water traffic.

*and not likely to stop the lying soon, what with Ted Cruz’ Krackpot Khristian Krew keeping the Reppupetlican Party in line…I mean, would Josh Hawley lie to you…about anything? Would he or any of his sorryass opportunist fuckstick fellow travelers ever NOT?  As for those who persist in believing Donald J Trump is the New won-inna-landslide Messiah, what are a few lies in the service of Armaggedon, a wholly owned subsidiary of the fossil fool consortium?  It was once observed that “not even the most vindictive hatred could have imagined the slimy depths to which the bulk of white Americans allowed themselves to sink: noisily, gracelessly, flatulent and foul with patriotism.” “Foul with patriotism”…oh yeah.  Sounds just right for the present pay-triot-ick moment, even though James Baldwin wrote that back in 1975.***  Jimmy, though, was above all about love, and how inextricably interconnected we all are, something seemingly utterly lost on the KKK, past or present day, and their abettors. But to paraphrase Laurie Anderson, like it or not “we are going down…we are all going down.  Together.” So maybe uniting to try to scuttle a relief bill because it’s going to help a lot of people who aren’t well-off and white like they are might not be such a brilliant idea after all?…whether March goes out like a lyin’ Khristian or not, lambykins.

    As per your last paragraph, did you read the T. Friedman Editorial in the NYT? He feels the right is motivated by humiliation (to simplify).

      Ah no, didn’t see it. Would like to, though…and having seen it [thanks Steve] found it right on and troubling…the main trouble being how can anyone succeed in UN-humiliating all those who feel looked down on?
