My daughter, you must care for your toys,
Poor things, they’re even smaller than you.
Every night, when the fire goes to sleep,
Cover them with the stars of the tree.
Let the golden pony graze
The cloudy sweetness of the field.
Lace up the little boy’s boots
When the sea-eagle blows cold.
Tie a straw hat on your doll
And put a bell in her hand.
For not one of them has a mother,
And so they cry out to God.
Love them, your little princesses—
I remember a cursed night
When there were dolls left in all seven streets
Of the city. And not one child.

Perhaps we need to inject “relatively” in there. Extremism is the new norm.
January 26, 2025 at 4:02 pm #55983At least the swamp is getting cleaned out! On the bright side, there seems to be a few leopards roaming about 🙂

January 26, 2025 at 4:31 pm #55985That was a powerful poem, Reg. The last three lines contrasting the fluffy precedent ones is quite dramatic. Thanks!
January 26, 2025 at 7:22 pm #55987Nick Tiller’s categories ‘liar’ and ‘bullshitter’ aren’t different enough to make a difference to me. I’d call them ‘trumped-up’ categories.

January 29, 2025 at 9:50 pm #56023We have heard a great deal of the sword and the purse. Let us see what is the true meaning of this maxim, which has been so much used, and so little understood. It is, that you shall not place these powers either in the legislative or executive, singly; neither one nor the other shall have both, because this would destroy that division of powers on which political liberty is founded, and would furnish one body with all the means of tyranny. But where the purse is lodged in one branch, and the sword in another, there can be no danger.
Alexander Hamilton, Founding Father and the first U.S. secretary of the treasury from 1789 to 1795.
When he becomes King, Trump wants both the Sword and the Purse for himself. If things seem delusional, that is because they are.
January 30, 2025 at 12:57 pm #56024With a cult of personality such as this, it reminds me of Middle Age Christians who walked around, flogging themselves. Sure, go ahead and punch me as long as you punch a Mexican immigrant harder.
January 30, 2025 at 5:31 pm #56025Similarities in terms of the cult members being mindless and led as easily as a fly to sugar. But that is same as every other hardcore ideology.
The flagellants blamed themselves and the Jews for the plague in particular and sins in general. The Trumpists blame the lefties for well…a lot of shit and all of the progressive BS. I don’t think Trumpists are taking ownership of anything unlike the flagellants who took it hard and inflicted it on themselves. Kind of ballsy in a sick way. And in this instance it is the lefties blaming Jews for everything and looking the other way at the most egregious conduct that does not occur in their little morality play whereas the Trumpists are defending the Jews.
Also the pope outlawed the practice in the 14th century and Trump would do something censorious and curious if his followers took responsibility for SNAFU’s and FUBAR shit. Even this plane/copter crash is a result of DEI and that neerdowell named Biden. Blame, blame blame. He has grievances goddamnit and if only he were the king we would all be better off. BTW it is so comical listening to the CNN and MSNBC people analyzing the ever contradictory and meandering thoughts of our commander in chief.
January 30, 2025 at 5:52 pm #56026Lots of thoughts and prayers to the Canaanite storm god for the victims of the midair collision. Not much talk of updating ancient airport infrastructure or hiring enough controllers. No sir, we can’t have that. Thots and prayers, thots and prayers, children.
January 30, 2025 at 5:57 pm #56027That is funny you mention thots and prayers. I just heard that and snapped at the tv. That F’g bottomless pit of stupidity mantra. How are those prayers working out?
I’d like to hear Joe and Jane average American critique thots and prayers. Or better yet do the socratic Reg play when Joe and Jane ask for thots and prayers.
