Me thinks we need to re evaluate our perspective.

Rather than sentient human beings, we are complex molecular structures in a larger being beyond our abilities to comprehend.

Gaia is how we present to our solar system and galaxy.

All of us are a chemical reaction within countless other reactions that contribute to the life of the planet.

We are not an organ or maybe we are. Nevertheless, we draw on the chemistry and influence the physiology of the earth.

We are no more important than the slime that escaped the primordial soup of our origins, yet we take pride in our consciousness.

Our consciousness is the rub. Somehow we think ourselves in an image beyond our consciousness.

We are no more than complex dirt.

We have our jollies wrapped up in tinsel, but cannot see the folly in tinsel.

We destroy the savages who don't want our tinsel.

Our little fights have become significant in the health of Gaia. She has the greatest immune system.

Some of us are t cells. Some of us are antibodies. Some of us are viruses or bacteria.

We have no choice but to live the experience we are in.

You do not have to be happy to have the time of your life. You only have to be alive.

Or as Frank once said, " You should be diggin' it while it's happenin'."

When I read trump's expose of his impending doom

I had a warm feeling descend through my body.

One has to reach bottom to recognize peril.

Surely, he will maintain his innocence and commandeer the awaiting flotilla of flotsam, but he knows he has reached predicament. There is no escape, only a management at best, of an unworthy credential.

I do not wish for a Cerseilian parade. It would be best to offer a Lincoln magnanimy to those willing to experience a cathartic shedding of falsehoods that kept them from smiling at their fellow Americans.

Even if he prolongs his reckoning, he is done.

We have newer battles to fight. Let us attend to them.

An aside: William Shatner is a king of kitsch.

Just watched another commercial with Martha Stewart kitsching.

Life exists outside our world.

Just saying.

The guy just blew the planet away and is enlightening everyone

he greets on his exit.
Boom.

Tomorrow will be an interesting day.

Those anti McCarthy people are mostly insurrectionist supporters and have held the government at bay more successfully than they did on Jan 6.
Remember, 147 republicans voted against certifying the election.
Perhaps they want to keep the house in disarray.

What is it about these so called patriots, that when they are

called to defend the methods they used to "save the country," don't recall?
They seem to put up a strong voice to keep us from leading them to ruin, but fold in front of the opportunity to justify their actions.
You would think they would be proud of their revolution regardless of the means.
I have not heard any questioning along those lines.

Say what you will, but Ari has been a heavyweight lately.

He called out Weissman for rolling his eyes at a Jay Z
riff, but delivered some highbrow insight.

Great to listen to top notch analysis of the issues of the day.

Lucky to have these minds to address a time in history, as it happens. We are living the book.

Watching that fellow Joe Kent in southwest Washington,

I was taken by an interview with Brian Eno about LARPing. We LARPed back in the day, but it was play.
It appears that it is a much more real practice in the Republican party today.
Monty Pythonesque.
Live action role playing.
