About Me

My photo
Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

It Is Never Too Early

No, it is never too early to start thinking, listening, and reading about your Local, State, and Federal Elections. The evil in men and women who would destroy Democracy for their own gains never sleep. They work year-round to reach their goals and not just in an election year. So I feel it is my duty, as it is every citizen, and as it is for every person in their own country to try to stop tyranny and corruption the best way they can. Keeping people ignorant and afraid of the world is how they divide us and control us. Hopefully, instead of just complaining about the state of affairs, people will rise up to Register to Vote and Vote Blue!

Everyone knows what's on the Federal Ballots because that is the big news story in an election year. Yet, sometimes, it is impossible to go through all the political mailings you get right before an election, go to regional rallies, or go see your district debates to know who your local and state Democrats are.
The easiest way to be informed is to go to

I Am Not Addicted

One of my
Grandchildren
stayed over this weekend
and if you have read my blog over the years you would know that I always say,
"Family comes first."
So instead of spending time on the computer,
I'm spending my time with him.
We had a really good time until he wanted to play
Monotony,
or I mean
Monopoly.
We still had a good time playing but I just don't like the game.
Ever since I was a wee little child.
It is the only board game that has been in every house that I have ever lived in
and I have never bought one of them!
Monopoly Star Wars The Mandalorian Baby Yoda Edition , new opened but  unused | eBay
I know 
Baby Yoda 
is popular
but even he can't use his
Jedi Powers
on me so I like the game.
But,
I will play any board game with any of my
Children & Grandchildren
because it keeps them away from staring at their
Cell Phones,
Computer Screens,
or playing endlessly on their
Game Consoles!
If
and they are making millions by getting the average person to look at their tech,
there must be something wrong with it.
Yeah,
It's called
ADDICTION!

But My Phone Needs To Be Charged

If You Believe That, I Have A Bridge That I Can Sell You

   The other day, because I was in a hurry, I was getting gas for my car at one of the more expensive gas stations in the area when I saw a billboard next to the pump I was using that read,
We are sick of the high price of gas too!
Scan the QR code below to see how we can lower our prices
by lower our taxes!
   If you believe that bull$#!t, I own the Golden Gate Bridge and you can buy it right now for only $100,000 dollars as a down payment.
   Out of the top five producers in the United States I went to the second record breaking profitable firm which only made 36.5 Billion Dollars last year! Doubling their profits from the year before.
   What this means is the CEO of this company had a compensation package worth almost $36 Million Dollars.
   Don't get me wrong. I believe everyone should make as much money as they can if someone is willing to pay them. But only if it isn't hurting the average consumer because they can't afford a expensive electric car and have to pay high prices at the pump to make up for the consumers who can. They also shouldn't get paid millions of dollars for affecting our climate, our health, and our children's future.

stop sending him money because I can offer you the

We Still Need Hackers Like Anonymous

 I have a beef this morning.
What ever happened to
Anonymous?
I know they have a very loose
and decentralized command structure,
but come on,
what have you done for me lately?
It would be very foolish to believe that everyone claiming to be
Anonymous
is truly
Anonymous.
Yet,
someone has to be.
I am all for their
Idealism.
I loved it when they took on the
KKK
and
ISIS.
I even wrote about it.
My post
is about the
KKK
and I commented on
ISIS
in my
Posts
and
I believe in what they do,
but only when they stand up against
Terrorist,
Prejudice,
Illegal Business Practices,
Criminal Activity That Hurt The General Public,
Political Corruptness,
and
All-Around-Douchebags Like Donald Trump!
  They need to be
Hacked.
Still,
I haven't heard about them for years.
But then again I'm no longer willing to check out the
Darknet
anymore. 
I am hoping they didn't become like
Just playing the game for the headlines
 and are still taking on evil people like
Benjamin Netanyahu,
Vladimir Putin,
Kim Jong Un, 
and that
Douchebag
trying to get back in the
White House!


This is,
Hoping There Is Still An Anonymous Out There In The World
And People Like Edward Snowden

And

"The thing about a hero is, even when it doesn't look like there's a light at the end of the tunnel, he's going to keep on digging, he's going to keep trying to do what is right and make up for what has gone before, just because that is who he is." - Josh Whendon -

Still Believing Donald Is A Joke

 Over the years,
I have told my children that it is a good idea to read the opposition's referendum.
To take a look at the different
Religious Teachings
the world has to offer,
like the
Bible,
the
Torah,
or the
Quran.
That way you will have a better idea why people think the way they do.
I have read the
Quran,
Mein Kampf,
The Communist Manifesto,
and other political
and religious books to see what stirs the hearts of
Men & Women.
So,
to be fair to our
x-President,
I went out
and bought a copy of
Donald Trump's
book;
The Art of the Deal.
He must have foreseen his future,
because the book has
Four Chapter Elevens!

What?????????????

"Tonight we honor a self-made millionaire. He started with nothing, worked hard, and made a fortune ... That man is Fred Trump, Donald's dad. That's right, for all his self-starter bullshit, he's basically Jaden Smith with a comb-over."
Seth MacFarlane

"You put up more useless hotels than an autistic kid playing Monopoly."
Lisa Lampanelli

"Donald Trump, without a doubt, you're a New York landmark. Which means it's only a matter of time before you bulldoze yourself to build some gaudy, tacky monstrosity and put your name on it."
Larry King

"And Donald, I’m not even sure if you’re aware of this, but the only difference between you and Michael Douglas from the movie Wall Street is that no one’s going to be sad when you get cancer."
Anthony Jeselnik

"Melania, you look so beautiful tonight. Give her a round of applause. You’ve been such a good sport. So gorgeous. These two are so compatible, because they both yell out Donald’s name when they climax."
Jeff Ross

OK,
one last joke about our former
President.
Asked what his new Foreign Policy is going to be if re-elected,
The x-President said,
"If you mess with the United States, there will be hell toupee!"
Jokes are from
of
Donald Trump
in 2011.

This is,

And If You Treat Him That Way,
You Will Never Stop Laughing.

Use Of Deadly Force

 Wow,
has it really been that long since my last post?
That's what happens when you are enjoying life.
Time flies!

Here is a little flash fiction I wrote for your reading pleasure called;

Use Of Deadly Force!
*****
   "Come on." Umbriel pleads. The self appointed leader of this band of young explorers and the only male out of the three.
   "I have zipped down there at least five times before and nothing has ever happened to me."
   Cordelia looks to Cressida wide eyed. As if asking the other girl, "What do you think?"
   Since Cressida has been Cordelia's best friend since their inception, she can pretty much figure out what Cordelia is trying say with her expressions even though her natural look is to always look wide eyed.
   "Well, you know what my parental always says." She replies with a growing smile. "You can only die once, twice, or thrice if you have the financial backing. But you can only live in the moment."
   "Your as crazy as he is!" shouts a distraught Cordelia. "I'm not even sure why I hang with you two?"
   "Great." Umbriel says, before Cordelia ties to change Cressida's mind. "We'll just go down there for about 50 clicks, buzz the terrain for awhile, and see if we can scare up some of the creatures roaming around the place. We'll be gone before anyone the wiser."
   "What about the security circling the place?" exclaims the still distraught, wide eyed Cordelia. "If they catch us we'll all be punished in ways I don't even want to think about."
   "Relax, it's a big world out there and security can't be in all places at once." Umbriel reassures her. He pauses for a click and then, with a smile says, "You can trust me."
   Cordelia just stands there wide eyed. Looking back and forth between Cressida and Umbriel.
   It's Cressida who breaks the silence by jumping in the air and proclaiming, "Woohoo! Let's go find out what the military is hiding from us!"
   They sit back down in their seats, strap in, and slowly head towards the quarantine area.
   After a transverse of about half an astronomical unit, flashing red lights automatically start a stroboscopic effect on their dashboard, warning them of impending danger. On their viewing screen pops up a sign that reads:
    Cordelia exhibits her surprise and fright by making a little chirping sound. Cressida beamingly laughs. And Umbriel authorizes the spacecraft to pick up speed. Then says, "Planet Earth. Here comes another, what you creatures like to call, a UFO!"
    This time Cordelia laughs apprehensively while wide eyed.

And They'll Want To Find Out Why

For Your Enjoyment

I overheard a conversation between a
Father
and his
Teenage Daughter
today. 
The Father asked, "Did you study for your English exam?" 
She answered, "Dah!" 
The Father then asked, "OK. What are the vowels in the alphabet?" 
The Daughter replied, "ahh...eh...I...oh...you...money....sometimes....why are you asking?" 
The Father, "Close enough."
 
I believe,
that in this World,
every person has a soul mate!
And if I ever find mine,
my wife will kill her!
 
When I would ask my Mom if I could have the car when I was a teenager still living at home,
the last thing she always said to me before handing me the key was,
"Children in the backseat can cause an accident.
Accidents in the back seat can cause children."
 
If I eat
Pasta and Antipasti
will I still be hungry?
 
Ever since Father Hoff at Saint Mary's Grade School fed us chocolate covered ants as a joke one day,
telling us they were full of protein,
I am no longer willing to eat insects in this lifetime no matter what the cows are doing to the atmosphere!
I'll become a veterinarian first!
 
  While living in Wisconsin one of my best friends was Scott.
The funny part was that we were going bald roughly at the same time.
It was a good thing too,
because when we put our heads together,
we could really make an ass out of ourselves!

Can You Tell

One Of My Favorite Quotes From One Of My Favorite Books

   I remember thinking at the time when I bought this book that it wasn't going to be very entertaining. It was during my High School days and I just finished reading the Hobbit. I thought nothing could compare to that book. Plus, who hasn't heard the story about King Arthur over and over again growing up in North America?
   Take my word for it. I was wrong and this book stills holds up well today.
The Once and Future King by T.H. White, Vintage, HC DJ, 8th Printing –  BiblioHaven.com
This is,
I Haven't Done A Book Review For A Long Time
It Shows
 Because I Never Explained That It Was A Story About The Life Of King Arthur

And
 
 “I wonder," he said at last, "whether they will remember about our Table?” - T.H. White -
