Love the cosplay and yaoi licence plates! And wow, "pun-ishment" -- gotta use that in my next pun post! "The larval form and the adult pest" is exactly right. And "work is work" -- that is very true. Those tweets on the arrest of Roger Stone are hilarious!
And many thanks for the links to the Bluebird of Bitterness -- now that's MY type of blog!
I'm still browsing through these, but wanted to leave a couple comments before I have to run (other wise I'll forget later ...old age?, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh {:-)
I was reading that short quote as far as who is a prostitute, the sex worker, labourer or whatever. It reminds me of a lady I know ... well, she told me that her common law husband left her, because he found out that she was a prostitute a few years back, in other words, she never told him about it, which led to friction between the 2. The thing is, when she was telling me this (in a therapeutic sense, asking me my advice or I guess words of comfort?) But this lady was really ate up emotionally bad, because she was crazy about this guy, and she felt wrong or dirty or something (it was sad, indeed, I felt sorry for her) But I told her, that even her ex was a prostitute himself, in fact, most people, who function in our society where everything is based on capitalism is a "prostitute" at some time (including myself and most reading this posting)... all going after the almighty dollar, and sell themselves in some kind of service, etc. But I told her, that she shouldn't have ANY shame, and f*ck the guy that left her. She is a good looking woman, good people and good personality ... like I told my daughter as a teen when she was crying in her room over a boy in school that she wanted to be with ... "think of boys like a bus, if you miss one, you will catch another" ... but that's how our F'N semi- puritanical Murica is. The thing to do ... is break that mindset, and f*ck everybody that thinks down on your values or sexual morality or whatever, once you have no shame of things like that, you are free of persecution.
As far as this shutdown ending? Last night my daughters and their husbands took me out to a fancy place for dinner and drinx, it was my birthday, I'm 63. But they wanted to know what I thought of why the shutdown was ended when Trump was so fixed, being the hard-ass that he is (they know I follow stuff, is why they ask) I told them that (in my view) ... it was Wall Street that ended the shutdown, they could care less about common folks (many, not all). The ratings for Trump were taking a nose dive, folks like Jamie Dimon (MF should have been locked up years ago {:-) got in financial media, and other CEO's, and frankly, they were upset, Wall Street was feeling the pinch, the money was feeling uncertainty on the markets, some were predicting, including reputable economists, that it will cost billions in losses, that will take time to recover, if the shutdown continues, so there was alot of business and politics involved in this, not all that "American People" talk. They actually read Trump's tweets, even though they dislike him, because they tell me some of his tweets. But I told them that "this guy, is tweeting at 2- 3am? ... WTF is wrong with this guy? ... if I had a woman beside me in bed at 2am that looked like Melania (goddamn that woman if fine! {:-), you can bet your ass I wouldn't be tweeting! ... they laughed about it, but I was serious. My daughter said, that she don't think they sleep together, heh, heh, heh, heh, heh {:-)
You know things are bad for tRump when Ann Coulter turns on him. When unpaid FBI agents are more than happy to arrest Roger Stone it is a sign that the tRump machine is turning into a wind up toy. It's a good feeling! Thanks for the link to my lame, yet humble blog!
looks like the ancient sacred object link goes to an extinct tumblr
Debra: I wonder if anyone at the Ohio DMV knows what "yaoi" means. Or even had enough brains to look it up.
Ranch: Yep, work is work. There's no reason why a prostitute should be considered less respectable than an accountant. It's interesting that so much social scorn is reserved for one of the few occupations where women can make more money than men.
I'm sure the Wall Street guys didn't like it when LaGuardia shut down.
There's another way of looking at the tweeting -- if you were Melania and you had a guy beside you in bed at 2:00 AM who was like Trump, you'd probably be giving thanks to God that he was more interested in playing with his cell phone.
Jono: Thanks for the post! Some wingnuts have been shocked at how many agents participated in the arrest, but I guess they had a wealth of volunteers.
Rocket: Gaaack, another victim of Tumblrgeddon, I suppose. Thanks for letting me know -- I found another link to what's basically the same item and changed it.
It takes me a few days to go through these links but I always enjoy these posts! Thanks for taking the time to put these links together :)
Glad you find it entertaining -- really, I'm just shoveling everything I happen to run across that I think is interesting. I never go looking for stuff to include, so it's not much work.
