Imagine

"Not only is the universe stranger than we imagine, it is stranger than we can imagine," -Sir Arthur Eddington (1882 - 1944). 1874 - 1944). 

Pretty...:

Imagine a world...folks who can't handle their lives...
Sayeth the Social Security Administration...
Now able to buy guns. Thanks NRA.
A recent analysis found a suicide rate among veterans 
Of about 30 per 100,000 population per year, 
Compared with the civilian rate of 14 per 100,000. And
So the House has approved legislation...
That would make it harder to keep veterans who are "mentally incapacitated, 
Deemed mentally incompetent" or prone to blackouts from buying guns. 

You don't have to imagine anymore. 

What year is it?

There's an "Inner Party" and an "Outer Party." 
Insies and outsies.... Outside...cold...and sick. 
Winston tastes good...everyman does.

Are we always at war? Our volunteer heroes (do the rich share in this death?) die silently...
Will it ever stop? Rage...rage at the dying.

 

Remember "Caveat Emptor?"

Donald is changing America. With a stroke of his pen, he swept away the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's rule that financial advisers and agents must consider their customer's interests ahead of their desire for profit. Gone in a whoosh of his hand as is the wish that in a Great America we won't be taken advantage of.... That our people have a higher sense of integrity...or should have. Well, that the Idealist in me. I've always been one and was criticized because I was.... Donald is greed personified...

Trump attacks Native Americans by Executive Order...: 

"Anger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind," - Robert Ingersoll (1833 - 1899).

Cosmic chaos bleeds through membranes
into our reality -
cookie cutter daily lives -
expanding like paper dolls
then torn apart in terrible beauty...
and DC becomes the Darkness, Power, and Terror
of Dorothy's Kansas.

 

Second Christmas in my self-induced coma...:

Come they told me...
Pa rum pa pum TRUMP.

A new born king to see...
Pa rum pa pum TRUMP.

Our finest gifts we bring...
Pa rum pa pum TRUMP.

To set before the king...
Rum pum pum TRUMP...
Rum pum pum TRUMP.

What have we done now...
Pa rum pa pum TRUMP...

We have a king with a throne...
Pa rum pa pum TRUMP. 

Give him a chance they say...
Pa rum pa pum TRUMP.

Have we lost our minds!
Pa rum pa pum TRUMP
Rum pum pum TRUMP...
Rum pum pum TRUMP.


Pa rum pa pum...ah...screw it....  
Gee...I can't feel a thing!

Please don't let me wake from this coma too soon!

 

When the Impossible Happens....

The impossible has happened. Wednesday morning it appeared on CNN, then local news, and then every channel. "When a distinguished but elderly scientist states that something is possible, he is almost certainly right. When he states that something is impossible, he is very probably wrong," - Arthur C. Clarke (1917- ). That thought evolved today as I saw the big picture...our universe is impossible. Our lives are impossible. Everything is impossible. If I can not accept the impossibility that Donald won the Presidency of our nation, how can I accept the truth that our Sun exists...that one grain of sand held to the sky will cover over 10,000 galaxies. That estimates suggest there are over one hundred billion galaxies in just the observable universe.... So, somehow I comfort myself today with the thought that Trump as our President is no more impossible than everything in our universe. The impossible exists...everywhere.
