Throwing Things At My Television


Tonight, I discovered that my pitching arm doesn’t work anymore. Listening to the debate, I couldn’t tell who deserved my ire. Trump could have done better, and Harris surely had the questions, possibly weeks in advance, so it wasn’t really a debate but a corrugated yuk-yuk party. I started scanning my den for objects to hurl at my flat screen. My Dallas Cowboys honorary brick would go through the set and possibly the wall, so that was out. Maybe a vinyl record album, but then I like them too much. A music CD, nope, I like them too. Maybe a sandal, nope, might ruin the footwear. So I threw an old Texas Highways magazine, and it bounced off: no power in my throwing arm anymore. Trump did bring up the Haitians eating people’s pets, which got a yuk from the moderators, but folks, that is true. I read that one Ohio grandmother watched a hungry Haitian eat her little Yorkie while she still held the leash. Haitians have a new dish, Kitty Tacos, which we’ve likely eaten before if you lived in Texas. I can’t take any more politics, so this will be my last post about the subject. Chapter 10 on Wagons Ho to California is about in the can, so stay tuned for that. May the force be with you…well, maybe not; Luke Skywalker likes Harris. Why did he have to go and ruin my Star Wars memories?

  1. My understanding is that Governor DeWine brought the Haitians in to Springfield Ohio to honor his late mother, who may have some connections of service there. I’m unsure. I was listening to a radio talk show the day before the debate and a caller denied the Haitians were beheading animals because he’d read it in a newspaper. A caller from Springfield called in and said the guy needs to stop reading the newspaper and talk to people from Springfield.

    1. There were videos of them on twitter grabbing cats and wringing their heads off, same with ducks and geese in the parks, so no matter what the mouth pieces are saying, it has happened, next will be the women and children after all the pets are eaten. Ohio is starting to look like Zombieville.

      1. Yes, there are people on tv saying these people are causing health and safety issues and apparently at least killing ducks or geese. So I don’t believe the news.

      2. Hard to know what is real these days, the videos look real, and there are more than one or two out there. Putting 20k Haitians into a small Ohio township borders on lunacy. Nothing good will come from this, stay tuned for the possible downfall of our republic, coming to a city near you and me real soon. Naw, the regular news read by good ole’ Lester never mentions anything real.

  2. Well done, Sir Texas. Boss and I nearly switched off at the 2/3 point but (nausea pills ingested) stayed to the end. Any next debate should have a rule that participants could only answer questions asked; the first hint of “When I was a little girl…” or “If elected, I will solve this Ukrainian conflict a day before I take office…” immediately ends the response and we move on. Reckon the debate would last about 2 and 1/2 minutes. So much pig slurry and so very little putting forward plans to address issues in the carnival. If feminists of the country, racially distraught people, and simply Demoncratic diehards elect Kammie, we are in a world of ship that will make the ByeDinic presidency seem a bit of calm. If Golden Boy is elected, while an entertaining trip through the house of horrors is in store, his ‘talk now, think later’ buffoonery will be not a lot better.

    Time to devise a better form of government, one that, if we retain three body checks-and-balances, affords us legitimate choices for CinC. The American people learned NOTHING of either of the candidates from this hyped-circus, save that both candidates are loons and should be working Mackie-D’s counters.

    I’m going to see if Ward won’t let me have my little white early this afternoon.

  3. Movie stars. Ha.

    I guess I thought Trump did well enough and if people couldn’t get that she was rehearsed (probably coached with the questions), tentative, appeared incompetent and her faces made her look like an idiot, I guess I can’t account for their lack of brains. Even our own talking heads didn’t see it.

    Phony. I do think he needs to bring up her past stands on issues. Border, fracking, trans prisoners, gun confiscation, free speech, packing court, adding states, election fraud made legal.

    But how you deal with them telling demonizing bold faced lies the media fully knows…it’s a waste of time.

  4. My conclusion is that no one gives a crap about any of it. The country wants a woman president. Have you ever noticed that Kamala and Obama have similar characteristics?

    1. Both have mixed race parents
    2. Both were raised by mothers alone
    3. Both had strong communist influences in their upbringing
    4. Both had very short careers in Government
    5. Both speak smoothly and fluently with word salad like vocabularies
    6. Both have a very high regard for themselves
    7. Both are followed by a crowd that has no clue as to what is important in the world
    8. Both have infectious smiles
    9. Both had a middle-class background
    10. Both lived outside the United States

  5. We got rid of our TV (which was dying rapidly) a year ago and decided to consider buying a new one AFTER the election. I just want it to be over, y’know what I’m saying?

    Lynn told me to check out your blog…

    1. Thanks for visiting John. I watch less election coverage after I discoverd it drove my blood pressure up and depressed me, which resulted in me eating things I shouldn’t and drinking too much scotch. I’m 75 and this is election is the most crooked one I’ve seen in my decades of voting. Writing and painting is what I prefer these days. I appreciate you checking out my blog, Lynn’s blog is great too.

      1. Thanks for the kind words about my blog, but I don’t work at it the way you guys do. You seemed a match made in heaven. The music, world view, and how fabulous your blogs are! As I said, my two favorites of all time.

      3. These days, you ignore politics at your peril, and it’s such a soul-killing thing. It’s like I already know in advance that this election will be just as fixed as the last one and probably all of them since I started voting, and before. It maks me wonder what the point of all of it is.
