Random Thoughts

Littered about today's posts are some comic strip panels I posted to some posts back in spring 2019.

Last night, der Führer himself, Donald Trump, co-opted some prime time television to ostensibly address the nation about the war in Iran.

In full disclosure, I am writing this post the day before that speech so I may be wrong but given every single thing Li'l Donnie has ever done, I don't think I will be wrong about what he said last night.  

So Trump....

• lied.
• got angry 
• contradicted himself.
• lied some more.
• denied reality.
• blamed Joe Biden.
• threatened allies.
• claimed the war is won
• promised to keep fighting the war.
• persisted in lying.

I could go on but hell, we've lived through this moron's bullshit too long now. You know the drill.  

If Trump actually delivers an address that is calm, rational, unifying, sensible and reassuring, I will eat my hat.

• OK, step one: buy hat.
• Step two: eat hat. 

Problem: due to tariffs and war, I can't afford a hat.

Wait! Andrea has a hat.

• OK, step one: steal Andrea's hat.
• Step two: eat hat. 

Again, I fully expect my future diet will be hatless.

I have tomorrow off from work.

For Good Friday.

This is not some personal observance of a religious holiday.

It's a company holiday.

If I hear Donald Trump or one of his ilk rant and rave that Christianity is under attack, I must address that the Fortune 500 company I work for does not give us the day off for Ramadan or Yom Kippur.  

On the other hand, our firm will be shut down on the date that commerates the crucifixion of Jesus Christ.  

Hey, it's a day off and I'm certainly not complaining about that.

But I am pissed off at alleged Christians who try to present themselves as martyrs to a faith under siege who live in a country where businesses will close for Good Friday.

This weekend will be Easter Sunday.

I have Andrea's gift ready in the form of a small Easter basket of goodies.

Yes, she is an adult person and who expects gifts for Easter other than children looking for candy from the Easter Bunny.

Well, she does and she's already bought something for me and I had to retaliate.  

I can't let Easter be a shut out. I have to put up some kind of fight. 

That is that for this post.

We're back tomorrow for Your Friday Video Link.

Our Movie Time Post on Saturday is about a bizzare film from the 1950's that is surprisingly topical.

Until next time, remember to be good to one another.
