St. Anthony Comstock, the Village Nuisance by Louis M. Glackens
Once upon a time, I was into April Fool's gags. I lost my taste for them sometime after the events of August, 2005. April Fool's gags seemed jejune and immature after that experience. It's not that I've abandoned my childish ways, I just channel them in different directions.
That was a long way of saying that everything in this post is true or at least on the true side of the fence. I refuse to be trendy and say, "speak my truth." Ugh, just ugh.
Let's move on to some vexatious venting about irksome things.
I'm irked that anti-abortion fanatics are using a zombie law inspired by a 19th century postal inspector who was a blue nosed busy body. Check out the featured image.
The Comstock Act was anti-smut, not anti-health care. It was stupid enough in its day but to unearth this zombie law is like digging up the Zomby Woof:
I'm irked by those who sneer at the disbarment dramas involving John Eastman and Jeff Clark as small beer or weak tea. Disbarment is a severe sanction; it denies lawyers their livelihood. How is that small beer or weak tea? Detractors should STFU and:
I'm irked that nobody pointed out how weird it was for Ukrainian President Zelensky to issue an Easter Sunday statement. He's the Jewish president of a country that's 75% Orthodox. As I said the other day, Orthodox Easter is May 5. It wasn't a bad thing, but it's replete with irony. Replete after me: It was weird, not bad.
I'm irked that the corporate media are buying Trump campaign claims that Black men are flocking to the MAGA banner. I'm not buying it. The Indicted Impeached Insult Comedian is a notorious racist. He can't go a week without making a stupid, bigoted, and inflammatory comment. I live in a majority Black city, and nobody here is buying it.
It sounds like an April Fools gag but it is not. Neither is this Bacharach-David song, it's the real thing, baby.
Finally, some Republican donors pledged to stop supporting the Kaiser of Chaos right after the Dipshit Insurrection. The resolve of some plutocrats seems to be slipping. Why? Joe Biden wants to raise their taxes. That's all they care about.
Does anyone other than me remember this stirring statement from the 35th president?
Along with JFK, I believe that politics should be about helping others, not about helping yourself. But selfishness is in fashion; in part, because of the 45th president whose idea of helping others is to have them drink bleach to ward off COVID. Sounds like an April Fool's gag but it is not. It's time to make the fuckers pay through the nose for crawling back to Trump.
