Trump: So Much Shit, So Little Time

WARNING: there's a total eclipse today. 

DON'T LOOK AT IT!!!!!!!

Hi, there

Still in post surgery mode so not so much with the typing. Stealing a page from my good buddy* Mark Evanier and his Trump Dump feature, today's Donald Trump post is links to other people doing the heavy lifting of writing and stuff.   

Trump’s Approval Rating Stands Below 40 Percent in Three Key Midwest States 

NBC News - Mark Murray


I personally find it incredulous that anyone as obviously incompetent and morally bankrupt would have any approval above zero percent. The three states in question are Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin, three normally Democratic leaning states that did not go for Hillary Clinton. Looking at the dumpster fire that is the Trump "Administration", I have to ask you guys: how important are those fucking Clinton emails now?   

Whew! That was a close one, wasn't it?

Talk of ‘Preventive War’ Rises in White House Over North Korea 

The New York Times - David E. Sanger

Man-baby Trump wants to blow up something so bad, his belly button is puckering and unpuckering with excitement. I bet he got an erection up to maybe two, three inches at the prospect of lobbing a nuke at somebody.  


Even if we assume there is a robust discussion on options to be used against North Korea, we know where Li'l Donnie's desires lie. He wants a mushroom cloud he can point at and squeal with delight, "Hey, look what I did! I'm a big boy now! Weeeeeee!!"

Politico - Josh Dawsey and Matthew Nussbaum  

While surgeons were cutting out a bone mass from my left arm, Steve Bannon was cut out from the Trump White House. I awoke from anesthesia to sunny blue skies and world where Bannon wasn't sitting in the White House anymore. 

Does this make any difference?  

I'm thinking "no". Yes, Trump was echoing a lot of alt-right shit that Bannon wallowed in but Trump was picking that crap up from Alex Jones and the friendly smiling faces at Fox News.  

But there's no denying Bannon's role as Iago, having Trump's ear.  As noted by Dawsey  & Nussbaum, Steve Bannon 
fought for hardline positions and embracing culture wars, . reminding Man-Baby that moderates and Democrats would never support him but that's OK: his base is still strong and still loves him.  

Which is right at core of Li'l Donnie's sweet spot: hated by enemies but loved by his loyal supporters.  Without Steve Bannon actually present in the White House, Trump will have to rely on Steve Doocy to relay such sweet nothings to his ear via Fox & Friends.  


Huff Post - Carla Herreria

Is Donald Trump crazy? 

Well, fuck, yeah!  

But we don't KNOW that. As in, has a professional brain person had a look-see at the inner workings of Li'l Donnie's noggin? 

No.  

Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) thinks someone should do that so she introduced a bill on Friday calling for Trump getting his head examined.  

Lofgren points out that Trump has not yet released a “serious” medical evaluation to the public. She doesn't expect the bill to pass; a Republican controlled Congress will see to that.Lots of chest thumping and "Harumphs!" and how dare we insult the integrity of the blah, blah, blah.    

But no matter what we can do now about the Moron in Chief smelling up the White House and Air Force One with KFC buckets, we should look to the future and make it a requirement that candidates or at least party nominees MUST release tax returns and provide an objective, unbiased medical report on their physical and mental health.  

And that is enough for today.  Until next time, remember to be good to one another.   

*The staff of Dave-El Inc and  I'm So Glad My Suffering Amuses You Entertainment must fully disclose that Mark Evanier is not our "good buddy" in any real or legally binding sense. 

 WARNING: there's a total eclipse today.

ENCORE POST: A Miracle Every Day

So I'm back from the 

hospital  Or as they say in the UK, I'm back from hospital, And why do they do that anyway.  

My left arm they operated on is in a sling and I'm zonked out on some resally nice pain killers. 

So no full on blogging from me. 

Today's post is from encore post from Saturday, March 9, 2013, taken from a     Toastmasters speech I had given called :

"A Miracle Every Day"


If you were to ask Lois Lane, intrepid investigative reporter for the Metropolis Daily Planet, what the most annoying part of her day is, she would tell you, "Being thrown from the top of the Daily Planet building by super villains."

Here's what happens: some bad guy with a super power or a super weapon or a super gimmick thinks he's going to take over Metropolis...

Or the United States...

Or the Earth....

Or the UNIVERSE!

But first he has to take out the Man of Steel, SUPERMAN! And to do that, he has to lure Superman to his doom. And the best way to do that is to threaten one of his friends. 

So here comes Capt. Doom Man or whatever in the offices of the Daily Planet. Now he has any number of people he can threaten: Perry White, Jimmy Olsen, Clark Ke-

Where the heck is Clark Kent? Always, whenever something is going down, Clark can never be found.

Sigh! It doesn't matter. All these villains play from the same play book: it's got to be the damsel in distress. And there is no better "damsel" to pick than "Superman's girlfriend", Lois Lane.

First of all, that whole "Superman's girlfriend" is a misnomer, something that got started by Cat Grant in her gossip column. But that whole "relationship" (and that's using that term loosely) ain't all it's cracked up to be, OK?

But Mr. Capt. Doom Pants could not care less about that. "A-ha! Superman's precious Lois Lane in peril will bring the Man of Steel running...to his DOOM! Ha! Ha! Ha!" 

Oh, like he's the first person to ever come up with that little gem. 

So he grabs Lois, takes her to the top of the Daily Planet building and hurls her off of it.

The first time this happen, it scared the living daylights out of Lois. 

Flailing and screaming in the open sky with the very hard concrete foundations of Metropolis over a hundred stories down, Lois knew, KNEW she was going to die. She closed her eyes in desperation but guess what? Gravity still works even if you're not looking at it.

But as she arced thru the sky to her inevitable doom...Look! Up in the sky! Ta da! It's SUPERMAN! A streak of red and blue, he hurtles thru the air, gracefully plucks Lois from her deadly decent, gently lowers her to the ground and then shoots back up in the sky where he wallops the tar out of Doctor Death Shorts. Lois could only stand there in shock, in awe of the wonderful miracle that had just occurred. 

The second time this happened, Lois knew, KNEW that there was no way she could be THAT lucky two times in a row and this time she was going to die for sure. But wait! Look! Up in the sky! Ta da! It's SUPERMAN! And the miracle happened again.

By the 37th time, Lois was starting to sense a pattern. Look....up in the sky...Superman...and Lois is saved. Hooray. 

By the 584th time, it is just one more annoyance on Lois' schedule. 

"Let's see, wake up, exercise, grab some breakfast, e-mail that write up to Perry to pick apart for 2 dozen punctuation errors, schedule an interview with Mayor Berkowitz, research the funding of Lex Luthor's new power plant, get thrown off the building by a super villain, pick up dry cleaning, drive Lucy to the airport......" 

The fact that an impossible man from another world in a red cape can fly thru the air and save her life is no longer a miracle....because it happens every day. 

But Lois is not alone in this regard.

Consider ourselves and the world in which we live. Hurtling thru cold and lifeless space, we live on a ball teeming with life. Our world turns on its axis and brings the sun up every day. Whether you believe we are here by cosmic chance or divine providence, this is nothing less than a miracle. But because it happens every day, we do not recognize this as a miracle.

Indeed, the sun comes up and for too many of us, its just another damn day. 

And who can blame you if you feel this way? Somewhere someone is suffering....

Somewhere someone is dying...

Somewhere someone wonders if there is such a thing as love....

Somewhere someone is wondering how to put food on the table. 

But for all the dark shadows, there is still light, joy, life, love, hope. Somewhere someone has found happiness....

Somewhere someone has just been born....

Somewhere someone looks into another's eyes and discovers to their amazement that yes, there is love.....

Somewhere someone has just been reminded they have friends who will will help them when they are down. 

Sometimes its easy to see; other times you have to look really hard to find it. But it is there...every day.

Open your eyes. Look, up in the sky! The sun rises yet again, a miracle!

Every day.

Doctor Who: The Sonic Screwdriver


Hi there! As you read this, I expect to be nursing a bandaged up arm after Friday's surgery, a procedure that as I actually write this is a few days away.

Wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey. 

Anyway...

This is my weekend Doctor Who post. Today, we look at the Doctor's signature tool of choice, the sonic screwdriver. 



This topic was brought to mind by the recent passing of Victor Pemberton at the age of 85. Pemberton was an actor and a writer who contributed in both roles to Doctor Who during the time of the 2nd Doctor portrayed by Patrick Troughton. In Pemberton's story from 1968 , "Fury from the Deep", we are first introduced to the sonic screwdriver.



The principal function of the sonic screwdriver was that of a screwdriver, a tool used to drive screws but with sound waves. The functions of the sonic screw driver would expand somewhat. 



The 3rd Doctor used the sonic to set off land mines in The Sea Devils while the 5th Doctor used it to disrupt monitor cameras in Four To Doomsday



While not typical functions of a screwdriver, the use of sonic waves made these expanded functions somewhat plausible.

There were concerns that the sonic screwdriver was too easy a way out for writers so the sonic was destroyed in 1982 in the 5th Doctor episode, The Visitation, and was not replaced.  The 6th Doctor did employ a "sonic lance" in one episode.

The sonic screwdriver was reintroduced in the 1996 TV movie and was a regular feature when the TV show was revived in 2005. During the course of the new series, the functions of the sonic screwdriver have expanded greatly beyond "sonic" or "screwdriver". 



From Wikipedia, here is a list of some of the things the sonic screwdriver can do. 

  • Unlocking or locking a door
  • Burning or cutting any kind of substance
  • Remotely detonate certain machines or explosives
  • Amplify sound-waves and the power of an X-ray machine beyond its normal capacity
  • Disarm weapons and electronics
  • Flashlight
  • Intercept and conduct teleportation
  • Hack an ATM
  • Regenerating razor wire on a fence
  • Darken eyeglass lenses to transform them into sunglasses
  • Microphone (when connected to an audio amplifier)
  • Detect and interpret signals
  • Conducting medical scans
  • Locking the coordinates of the TARDIS
  • Tracking alien life
  • Using red setting or dampers
  • Control atoms and molecules on a small scale
  • Operate computers, whether their origin is alien or human
  • Provide Geo-location
  • Get cash from an Automated teller machine
  • Light candles
  • Modification of a mobile phone
  • Disclosure and deactivating camouflage
  • Disarm Robotics
  • Scan and classify matter
  • Shatter glass
  • Shocking neural centers of a living creature

And amazingly enough, the sonic screwdriver can also:

  • Tighten and loosen screws

Recent Doctors have taken to brandishing the sonic screwdriver as a defensive weapon although that has been greeted with derision by none other than the Doctor himself. 

War Doctor to the 10th & 11th Doctors:
"They're scientific instruments, not water pistols." 
"Are you going to assemble a cabinet at them?"  



If it seems like the modern sonic screwdriver basically does what ever the Doctor thinks it should, you may well be right. 

In "Let's Kill Hitler", it is explained that instead of having settings, this version operates through a psychic interface, basically doing whatever the user thinks of while pointing and holding down the button.


In "Death In Heaven", Clarta confirms with the 12th Doctor the functioning of the the sonic screwdriver involves "point and think".


The BBC owns the sonic screwdriver, a point of some contention for it's creator.  Victor Pemberton told an interviewer for Doctor Who Magazine, "I'm very cross that the sonic screwdriver—which I invented—has been marketed with no credit to myself. … It's one thing not to receive any payment, but another not to receive any credit."

Which is a shame. There should be some recognition of Pemberton's role in creating a part of the Doctor Who mythos that is as much apart of the Doctor's legend as the police box exterior of his TARDIS.

OK, that's that for now. I have another post or two in the chute while I recover from my arm surgery.  

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

Operation Day

Well, today is the day.

The day of my operation. 

After today, I will finally be the woman I was always meant to be. 

Uh oh. 



No! I'm getting my left arm worked on.AS I recounted earlier this year, I had a stroke which precipitated a nasty fall that shattered my elbow.

The cause of the stroke remains a mystery despites various efforts by my neurologist to look for clues. A scan of my brain revealed it was normal which quite frankly, I still find that insulting.

As for the arm, an operation and months of physical therapy restored most of my strength and function but not all. There is a bone mass that developed that serves as a bit of a door stop on my arm, limiting motion.

So this operation is going to fix that. Open it up, cut it out, close it up and drop kick me to the curb. I may in fact not have to get out of the car. 

The simplicity of the intended procedure worries me. The last surgery was to fix a shattered elbow. Any improvement would have been welcome. But this....

I've almost become used to having a limited arm. I've grown accustomed to not putting pills or shampoo in my left hand. So why am I doing this? What if it doesn't work? 

Anyway, I've got a couple of posts in the chute ready to go including (of course) a Doctor Who one for tomorrow. Hopefully, I will be up to speed to in a few days to post about my latest medical adventure for 2017. 

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

Disney Minnie Vans






It's been 8 months since the family was last at the Disney World Resorts. But when I heard about this development, I felt compelled to comment upon it. 


In the photo above are Minnie Vans. Like mini-vans but done up to look like Minnie Mouse. Get it? 


Anyway, Disney’s new Minnie Van Service is operated through Lyft and was introduced in July for guests at Disney’s Yacht and Beach Club and Boardwalk Resorts> It's now expanding to for use by guests in Disney’s Wilderness Lodge, Cooper Creek Villas and Cabins, and Boulder Ridge Cabins at the Wilderness Lodge.


It is a paid service but the buzz on this service is very positive.  




Minnie Vans driven by Disney cast members will then whisk you away to wherever you want to be at Walt Disney World Resort. Each van accommodates up to six guests and provides two car seats.


I have to say if Minnie Vans had been available to me in my previous stays at Disney, I think I would've ponied up the extra bucks for the privilege.


Because... buses, man.


Disney's buses are clean and efficient. But leaving a park and getting back to a resort, a Disney bus can be a ride in Dante's Inferno.  When its time to clear out the parks and get guests back to the resorts, those bus drivers will make sure every inch of that bus is packed.


DRIVER: Move on back! Move further back!
PASSENGERS: Mrphmblmprh!
DRIVER: We can get another couple of people in there! Move on back!
PASSENGERS: Mrphmblmprh!


You wind up getting close to people. 


ME: That's a nice tattoo.
PASSENGER: How can you see my tattoo from that angle?
ME: I can feel it!


I mean getting very, very, very close to people.  


ME: Er, sorry about getting you pregnant.
PASSENGER: If it's a boy, I'll name him after you.
ME: Thanks!


Yes, a Disney bus a park closing time can get really tight. 


So a Minnie Van sounds like a good idea. Except instead of 300 people shoved into a 50 person bus, the exit roads are chocked with a thousand Minnie Vans.

Yesrterday's blog post was also Disney themed, about the debut of the revived Duck tales ("Woo-oo!"). I noted a line from the theme song and asked what competing cartoons was this line referring to:


Not pony tails or cotton tails


The answer: My Little Pony and Tiny Toon Adventures featuring Babs & Buster Bunny.


Thanks for playing along.


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


 





The Idiot Supremacy On the World Stage

Oh, no.

Not again.

Not Trump again?

Yes, sorry.

Look, there's a post later today about "Minnie Vans" at Disney world that is free of politics. It'll be along in a few hours.

Meanwhile...

The fallout from Donald Trump’s debacle in responding to the violence stemming from the white supremacist rally in Charlottesville continues to be a thing thanks in no small part to Li’l Donnie himself. 

After his limp dick of a mea culpa on Monday that “racism is bad” on Monday which nobody really believed Trump was sincere about but if this makes this latest embarrassment go away, then whatever, Man-baby Trump walked back whatever goodwill he bought with his rant on Tuesday that doubled down on his “many sides” remarks from Saturday in what was a virtual endorsement of the alt-right white supremacist movement.


It was the latest misstep from this dumbfuck that gave the rest of the world no small amount of cause for concern. 


As American's go to sleep, we in the UK need to watch and keep #ImpeachTrump trending, for the sake of our shared history against fascism.

— Graham Webb (@DrGW0) August 16, 2017


I don't even live in the US but I feel I should support the #ImpeachTrump thing, because I'm scared too. His actions effect us all.

— Hanna Olson (@HanniPaj) August 16, 2017


In Italy we have fascist buildings but no Mussolini statue because architecture is history, statues are celebration of ideals #ImpeachTrump

— Irene Iorio (@__nene__xD) August 16, 2017


The astonishment at the president's remarks has been particularly stark in Germany — where Nazi flags and salutes have been banned since the end of World War II.


"Trump's trivializing reaction to Charlottesville is unbearable," German justice minister Heiko Maas said in a tweet. "That was anti-Semitism and racism."


Neo-Nazis: bad

Anti-Nazis: good

I learned that as a child.

It was pretty obvious.

The President of the United States has just turned his face to the world to defend Nazis, fascists and racists. For shame.

Trude Simonsohn, a 97-year-old Holocaust survivor living in Frankfurt, said Trump's words "will only encourage these [far-right] groups."


She added: "I am tired of listening to Donald Trump. I can't understand why Americans elected him."

Hi, Trude. Sorry but the answer to that is mostly because of people like this idiot.

Trump is a hero. He will never be impeached especially because of a few idiots on twitter. Trump 2020. MAGA!

— Andrew Tate (@Cobratate) August 16, 2017


A hero, Andrew? A hero? For fucking what? And if he should get impeached (and if there is a merciful God up there, please let him get impeached!), it won’t be “because of a few idiots on twitter”, it will be because Trump condemned himself, with his own words, his own deeds that ran counter to what America is supposed to be about.

A hero? Jesus H. Christ, really?!?! 

British Prime Minister Theresa May had this to say: "I see no equivalence between those who propound fascist views and those who oppose them. I think it is important for all those in positions of responsibility to condemn far-right views.”

The situation has also sparked renewed calls for the British prime minister to withdraw her invitation for Trump to come to the U.K. for a state visit.
In February, the British prime minister rejected a petition signed by 1.8 million people that called for Trump's proposed state visit to be scrapped because it would "cause embarrassment to Her Majesty the Queen." 

Prime Minister May want to reconsider that decision.   

While poll numbers for Trump in the USA are low, they are abysmal in the rest of the world.   

Pew Research Center in June asked people across 37 nations whether they had confidence in the president to do the right thing on world affairs. Just 22 percent said they did, with that figure dipping far lower in countries across Europe and South America. 

And it looks like Trump has lost Clay Aiken too.   

Former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant Clay Aiken backed Hillary Clinton last year, but he also defended Donald Trump against the accusations of racism that dogged his presidential campaign. 

“I don’t think he’s a fascist. I don’t think he’s a racist,” Aiken told Fox Business last year.

Now, not so much.  Hours after Tuesday’s news conference where Trump blamed “both sides” for white supremacist violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, Aiken tweeted:

Remember all those times I defended @realDonaldTrump and believed he was not actually racist? Well... I am a f*****g dumbass. #imsorry

— Clay Aiken (@clayaiken) August 15, 2017



TBC... I’ve always thought he would be a dumpster fire as a president, and I was right about that. I just didn’t think he was racist. #wrong https://t.co/6ec0Qm0WxW

— Clay Aiken (@clayaiken) August 15, 2017


Aiken said he liked Trump even though they disagreed about politics. In 2015, Aiken told CNN that he considered Trump to be a friend, but said he’s like “that uncle, who embarrasses the hell out of you sometimes and you still love them, but damn, you wish they’d shut up.” 

And within the White House itself?  

Aides are dumbfounded by Trump’s self destructive news conference on Tuesday and how the hell they’re supposed to defend him.  

No aides had yet threatened to resign as of Wednesday morning, according to White House officials and advisers, but a number of White House staffers had private conversations on Tuesday night about how terribly the day went. 

White House economic adviser Gary Cohn is particularly pissed off. Standing near Trump for a statement about infrastructure, instead Li’l Donie fell into a rant about the culpability of the “alt-left” while calling some of the protesters at the white nationalist rally “very fine people.”

Also at the event was recently installed new  chief of staff John Kelly who was brought in to instill a sense of discipline in the Trump White house but the events on Tuesday clearly showed that whatever iswithin his power to do, controlling Trump is not one of them. Kelly stood near Trump with a pained expression. 

The same pained expression that most people in the world have while Trump is the president.

Duck Tales



This weekend, the family gathered on the couch at the Fortress of Ineptitude to catch the hour long premier of the revived Duck Tales. What little I know of Duck Tales comes from my super power of pop culture osmosis. Also there's that damn theme song.

DUCK TALES!     WOO-OO! 







Seriously, you can hear anyone say "Duck Tales" without the brain inserting a "woo-oo!" 

My exposure to the Duck Tales ("Woo-oo!") theme comes from my wife Andrea's boxed set of Disney theme music. It was also one of five songs that played on my daughter's favorite merry-go-round ride when she was six years old. 

Also, Andrea was of the age when Duck Tales ("Woo-oo!") was a part of Disney's afternoon cartoon block. 

Me? I was a grown MAN! I had better things to do than watch Disney cartoons!

I was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles & Batman. 

Duck Tales ("Woo-" NO! Cut that out! It's annoying!).

All right then. 

Duck Tales follows the exploits of Scrooge McDuck (David Tennant), a retired treasure hunter and the world's richest duck. Tennant’s take on Scrooge lines up with the previous version. He’s an old Scottish man in search of the thrills of his youth, which he’s able to chase with his nephews -- Huey (Danny Pudi), Dewey (Ben Schwartz) and Louie (Bobby Moynihan, SNL alum) -- as well as Webby (Kate Micucci---Oh boy! The funny, sexy cute pixie half of Garfunkle & Oates...Oh yeah!), the little girl who lives in his house with her grandmother, Scrooge's maid Mrs. Beakley (Toks Olagundoye. Now THAT's a name to remember. Maybe not to pronounce but still...). 

The voice work is very good. Tennant's natural Scottish accent is prefect for Scrooge McDuck. Because it is his native accent, Tenant's McDuck sounds very real. 

Meanwhile, Pudi, Schwartz and Moynihan all have distinct voices as the nephews, dropping that signature Donald sound, leaving the famous Disney Duck -- voiced in the series by Tony Anselmo -- a unique sound all his own. (In other words, I don't know what the frick he's saying.) 

With distinct voices comes distinct personalities of its characters. Huey, Dewey and Louie in past cartoons have tended to be interchangeable, a condition I am told existed in the original Duck Tales. 

In this version of Duck Tales, Huey is the planner, Louie is the optimist and Dewey is the troublemaker who shares far more personality traits with his elderly uncle than either would like to admit. Giving the three nephews their own personalities makes their interactions with anyone they come across far more entertaining and gives the opportunity to tell more detailed stories in future episodes.



Scrooge McDuck is a bit different. As befits a name like "Scrooge", the elder McDuck has been played as being driven by the accumulation of money and more money. 


David Tennant’s Scrooge likes his money just fine but he's got that. Now he’s in it for the adventure, adrenaline and the chance to discover something previously thought unfindable. (How... dare I say it? like the Doctor, eh?) 



Webby was in the original series but from what understand, she was just sort of... there. Now she is an adventurer in her own right, capable and self sufficient.


I liked the animation style. It's not hand drawn like the original, it's computer animated. But done in 2-D style that harkens back to the original show.  


This was a fun show to watch. Thanks to my wife and daughter for dragging me to it. I look forward to seeing more installments in the future of  Duck Tales ("Woo-oo!")

OH! You're startin' that again, are ya?  

OK, fine!  Duck Tales theme: play us out!    

Life is like a hurricane, here in Duck Burg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes, it's a duck blur
Might solve a mystery, or rewrite history! 

Duck Tales (woo oo)
Everyday they're out there making, 
Duck Tales (woo oo)
Tales of daring-do bad and good
Luck Tales (woo oo)

When it's seems they're headed for the final curtain
Bold deduction never fails, that's for certain
The worst of messes become successes! 

Duck Tales (woo oo)
Everyday they're out there making, 
Duck Tales (woo oo)
Tales of daring-do bad and good
Luck Tales (woo oo)

D-D-Danger lurks behind you
There's a stranger out to find you
What to do? Just grab on to some

Duck Tales (woo oo)
Everyday they're out there making, 
Duck Tales (woo oo)
Tales of daring-do bad and good
Duck Tales (woo oo)

Not pony tails or cotton tails*

No, Duck Tales (woo oo)


*Can you guess what competing cartoon shows this line....

Not pony tails or cotton tails

...was throwing shade at?

Look for the answer to that in tomorrow's post.

Until then, remember to be good to one another.  





Comic Book Retro 50:July 1976

Welcome to another edition of Comic Book Retro 50 where I look back at comics I bought 50 years ago., This month takes us back to July 1976....
