I originally posted this”meme” on July 5th. Afterwards I remembered a song that might just go with our current political situation. See video below.
Theme song for politics in the USA circa the MAGA era.

From back in the day… when Saturday morning cartoons were still a thing and there was a little education thrown in.
Quote of the Day – Frank Zappa: On Politics
Quote of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence. I like quotes as they frequently distill a piece of wisdom into a brief passage, or make other points very succinctly – such as the witticisms of Oscar Wilde.
“I think politics is a valid concept, but what we have today is not really politics. It’s the equivalent of the high school election. It’s a popularity contest. It’s got nothing to do with politics – what it is, is mass merchandising.” ~~ Frank Zappa
“Pop is the new politics. There is more truth in pop music than in most political statements rendered by our leaders, even when you get down to the level of really simple pop records. What I’m saying is that is how bad politics is.” ~~ Frank Zappa

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #3,788
yeah I know you did not ask!
You should so be blessed – well cursed at times actually – with a mind such as mine, making all these weird connections between my rumored neurons. Just be thankful that I do not share all of my random thoughts.
Do you want to have some fun? Next time you are in Walmart, try to get an employee away fro the cash registers to make eye contact with you without specifically saying something to them. On the the off chance that they do look at you, be sure to say something like “hello” or “how are you doing?”
Several years back I actually had a Walmart associate ask me if they could help me find something. I nearly fainted as the shock put my heart into a-fib.
My Anti-Trump Shirt
Below you will find my anti-Trump shirt. If you look closely you will observe that the motif is mostly sharks. I have been thinking about hand drawing some batteries onto my pool shirt to make it a double parody of Trump’s wonderful political rally speech in Las Vegas.
Just in case you do not get the reference, watch this video of the “highly articulate” felon going on about how he would rather be eaten by a shark or electrocuted.
Heaven forbid we should be talking about issues in this election cycle. What has our country come to that any sane person would think this man should be president one time, let alone a second time. My beloved country would cease to exist as anything I would acknowledge as my country.

My New Porsche
Señora has lived in her house for almost 40 years, being the second owner, the house being constructed in 1978. It still had the original cedar siding that had been painted a few times. Reality was that the siding should have been replaced at least 5 years ago, if not earlier. It had not been done, partially because Señora loved the cedar, it stood out from the other homes in the neighborhood, which have siding or a combination of siding and brick. And partially as she was Continue reading “My New Porsche”
John Oliver on a Trump 2nd Term… Be scared, very scared
John Oliver on a Trump 2nd Term… Be scared, very scared.
If you have 30 minutes it is well worth your time. There are groups gearing up to enable Trump’s anti-democratic, racist, classist agenda to be more effective on a second go-around. No matter how hard I try, I cannot come up with a single positive reason why anyone would support Donald Trump. I really wonder when they stopped teaching Civics, American History and critical thinking in the schools. Although I do not think critical thinking has ever been high on the American educational agenda.
Disheartening is the only word I can come up with…
Allegro “We Will Rock You” 2024 Spring Concert
Allegro, a choir for those who are 50+, is one of the two choirs that Señora is currently singing in. Señora is the very pretty lady just to the left of the choir director, generally the second person from the left, sitting. They filled this large church – no association other than they can use it to practice and as a performance venue – to the capacity, with more than 600 souls.
