Facepalm

Yesterday evening I tol’ my brO that I was marking up the margins of Stephen Pinker’s The Better Angels of Our Nature, what mOm loaned me.

She was okay with it, just like I expected, but when he learned of my gaffe Jeff looked at me like I’d produced a minute long Giardia fart with bean and beer top notes.

Keith gets it next.  Hope he doesn’t mind my markups.

My response to a post about a gun being marketed with a bible verse on it (this in Floriduh, natch):

And the arm has got a hand
in it’s habitual place
these days you understand
why it ends up on my face
You’ll say something indefensible
and in the worst of taste
and that is why my hand
will end up on my face

Facepalm facepalm facepalm

Jeremy Corbyn has been elected head of the Labour party in the UK.  He is being decried with tweets like this ARRANT HORSE MANURE coming from David Cameron’s office.

The Labour Party is now a threat to our national security, our economic security and your family’s security.

I think What In the Everloving EFF is this?  They must be terrified of him! Did Stephen Harper’s handbasket end up in Cameron’s office? And as for the ‘Labour’s no good they didn’t elect a woman’ argument, that won’t wash.  The two women who ran were accommodationist Blairites and shouldn’t have won for that reason alone.  Feminism means that some of the women candidates will be shite, not shining beacons of whatever political philosophy your Weird allows you to favour.
Corbyn will f&** Cameron’s sh*t up in Question Period for the next three years, before he resigns to make way for someone electable/Prime Ministerial/photogenic/good God man don’t you own a tie?  Cameron will respond with personal attacks because he’s easily flustered and then get his sh(t f*cked up by the Speaker.  All in all I’d say Corbyn’s a good pick for keeping a small corner of Cameron’s soul capable of emitting a squeak of truth once a week.
And look how scary he is in terms of reinvigorating the party.
Now some truth from Alice Dreger. Unca Dave useta say, “The pain is still there, but you just don’t care,” and in fact I used that line in my song about Sol Starr. “I can feel it, but I just don’t care, I got my load on Doc.”  Dave’s experience with opioids came after substantial and scary electrical burns.
No words yesterday.  I am watching Longmire S4 and reading the above-noted non-fiction, which I suspect will help me with the novel.  Less than 10K words I will END YOU!
