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!

Firing Of Stephen Colbert

   The firing of Stephen Colbert by CBS came as a shock to a lot of people, especially since he has the highest ratings for a Late Night talk show host. But this is not unprecedented.
   Have you ever heard of The Smothers Brothers? Their one hour comedy show was canceled in the late 1960s by "CBS" at the time when they were one of the network's highest rated shows.
   Sound Familiar?
   They constantly ridiculed President Nixon for his policies and the handling of the Vietnam War. At the time, it was well publicized that Nixon was putting pressure on CBS to get rid of the Brothers because of all negativity from their show.
   Sound Familiar?
   (Old Pumpkin Face hasn't started a war yet but it's not because he isn't trying!)
   Yet, the Oligarchy, Robber Barons, Republicans, and Billionaires of this country will never let its citizens, get along with one another. Hatred and Division between Races makes them money and gives them power over people, who rather blame anybody, but themselves, for their problems. Because the Rich told them it's okay to do so!
 
   It has even happen to me. I had a guess writer (Dave) back when Pumpkin Face was elected the first time around and he criticized Taco for his prejudices, policies, and the man himself when the long arm of the Rich came knocking on my blog and told me, first; I need to take the post down or I will loose my ability to blog, second; they will no longer advertise on my blog until I do, taking away what little income this was generating in the first place and third; they are going to change the way I sent global emails to my core group of followers. Which has declined ever since. Effectively killing my blog.
 
This is
Since I Have Been Alive
The Republicans Have Always Lied To Us
And If You Can't See It Now That It's So Blatant
You Deserve To Get What's Coming

“Suppose you were an idiot. And suppose you were a Republican. But I repeat myself.” - Harry S. Truman -

That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
