I
walked home from the train station, and found the local 99 c store.
It was packed. I gave $7.00 to a beautiful homeless child outside.
Maybe 17 years old. Collecting flowers. We discussed the bag of
oranges she was planning to buy. She smiled at me. I hate this
country.

Finally Saw Last Jedi
draft
Finally
saw Last Jedi. The art direction & visual effects are certainly
very good. Lots of good things to say about Snoke. I could see Luke
going mad on that island and being apostate, maybe. But ultimately,
no, it felt cynical. I did not believe that their heart was pure, I
think it was all about making a buck. I look at the marketing in
which the stooge, I mean the director,talked about what a fan he was.
Yeah, well, maybe, whatever. I dont buy it. The diversity stuff felt
cynical to me. If they donated the money to charity, I would go with
it. otherwise forget about it. The dream is dead and died long ago.
In
contrast, I felt Black Panther was far more sincere. What is the
point of doing movies of this type if their heart isnt into it? I
mean, why bother?

This is the Fate of All Traitors
Alan
Dershowitz is a traitor. At a time when this country is on its
knees, betrayed by the Republican Party and the
piece-of-fucking-garbage Trump, it was Dershowitz who stood up and
stabbed Mueller in the back.
One
of several things will happen.
Perhaps
Mueller will endure and bring down the Republicans and their
traitorous president. In which case, Dershowitz will die, alone and
despised. Or perhaps the Republicans will establish the Fourth Reich,
Dershowitz will realize that he has betrayed his country and commit
suicide in despair. That would be a happy ending, but not so happy for all those he had murdered. Finally, if he doesnt have the guts to kill himself, the internal security forces will
probably kill him anyway, as that is what they do, generally
speaking, with fellow travellers that they can not trust.
But
one way or another, when this country needed every man and woman to
stand up for liberty, it was Dershowitz who worked to destroy the
forces fighting for freedom.
Fuck
you, Dershowitz.

Note to Duncan Hunter 05/08/2018
draft
Its
been a while since I have emailed my elected representative, Duncan
Hunter. I thought he might miss me so I sent the following note.
Dear Rep Hunter, One side effect of the Republican party's loyalty to Trump is the realization that many Americans have that Republicans can not be trusted to defend the Constitution. The last 15 months have proven that beyond the shadow of a doubt. This means that no senior military leader or court justice can be a Republican. Good job, Hunter. You guys really screwed it up. You have betrayed your country and however this works out you will take the blame. I am disgusted by you. You do not and never will represent this citizen. The best thing you could do is resign. Sincerely, MW

A Big Shout Out to Karl Marx on his 200th Birthday
draft
The
200 years have just rushed by and before you know it here we are.
What a surprise, Karl, what a surprise. Who would have thought all
those years ago that you had something to say. That a spectre was
haunting not Europe but America. And the spectre was of greed,
oppression, lies and racism. Who would have thought that the workers
need to throw off their chains after having them reattached while
everyone cheered.
The
real turning point was when I read some stuff you wrote all those
years ago about Globalism and what it would inevitably lead to and
every word you wrote was dead on.
All our politicians do is lie and steal and fuck. They fuck us of
course, useful whores that we are. So very tight. So happy to be
useful to the Koch Brothers and Shithole Trump and Gorsuch and the
Republican swine.
Come
back Karl, we miss you.
