Wow! Whitmer is really being painted negatively.

221059_5_.jpgI saw this and spit my coffee out.

Holy cow! 

She’s been in the news a lot lately and rightfully so because of her draconian orders regarding the MI lockdown. 

I never expected to see something like this over my morning coffee.

Kudos to Mike Harris @ mikeharrisartwork.wordpress.com

It’s high time we continued the tradition of lambasting politicians in cartoon and caricature.

Keep up the good work Mr. Harris. We all need good single frame editorials.

 

I keep waiting for her eyes to start glowing.

Greta Thunberg is apparently an “expert?

She appeared on CNN’s Townhall about coronavirus.

Really? I guess all it takes for you to become a celebrity these days is to speak to your elders harshly. Remember this is the little girl who chastised the United fucking Nations and predicted doom and gloom for the world.

All I can hear as she speaks is a ringtone from The Goths in SouthParkDeath and Despair… Death and Despair…

We have climate change scientists that can’t seem to get their modeling right. And I’m talking about real scientists who are doing real work.

What makes this little girl an appropriate spokesperson on anything, much less a chaotic system like climate?

But there she is on our televisions again.

What power does she have? 

Greta Thunberg 2 420x315I see her picture, hear her speak, and wonder what is going on?  Then I saw this picture on Breitbart this morning and it clicked.

I’ve seen that look before. It bugged the hell out of me and after a few minutes searching my memory, I remembered.

I saw that expression in Village of the Damned

VillageOfTheDamnedOMG! We’ve been invaded by Aliens!!!!

That would explain a lot of things.

Her meteoric rise from obscurity, her access to the halls of power, and the elite.

Her disdain for humanity and the feeling that when she’s talking she’s judging people as vermin.

(Full disclosure, I often feel that way too. So I’m possibly calling the kettle black in this instance.)

It makes perfect sense! She’s part of the advance guard. Her people are on their way and they’re concerned that the planetary ecology will be too screwed up for them to take over. The area of the planet that she comes from is a bit cooler, maybe her people can’t take the heat. That would make global warming a big problem.

I guess we need to start looking for others. Probably folks who come from Canada, the northern United States, Norway, Sweden, Greenland, Iceland, and Siberia. Lest we forget the Southern Hemisphere. New Zealand, parts of Australia, Argentina, The Falkland Islands, and The South Sandwich Islands.

Anderson CooperWho else from those areas might we be suspicious of? What positions of power might they have? How long have they been here?

Now wait just a damn minute!

Nooooo It can’t be true! Not Anderson!

Just a goof folks, Having a little bit of fun.

I honestly don’t think Greta should be in the public eye, I think she should be in school.

I’ve just had it with the constant doom, gloom, and the lockdown. So I thought I’d let my conspiracy theory horses out for a run.

I’d almost prefer an interstellar war. At least then I’d know why my life has been thrown into chaos, and why it may never return to normal.

Loki.jpgAfter hearing what some of our politicians have said and how they’ve behaved toward their citizens I was reminded of Loki in The Avengers.

Is not this simpler? Is this not your natural state? It’s the unspoken truth of humanity that you crave subjugation. The bright lure of freedom diminishes your life’s joy in a mad scramble for power. For identity. You were made to be ruled. In the end, you will always kneel.” ― Loki of Asgard

Which is why I decided to take a break from the news, and quite possibly a break from technology for the weekend. 

I hope you have a great weekend. Turn off the news and take a deep breath.

From time to time

I’ll wander out to the SPLC mostly to see who the hate group de jour is.

I always leave the site shaking my head, surprised at what passes for a “Hate Group” these days.

Often, I’ll head out to the groups they’ve designated as hate groups and in fact some of these groups are truly hateful.

Others not so much, I read what some of these “Hate Groups” say and think, “that’s not something I would agree with but I wouldn’t call it hate.” I would call what a lot of these so called “Hate Groups” are saying as, “Not Main Stream”. Perhaps even a little nationalistic.

But they’re not espousing the hateful rhetoric of the KKK, or Muslim Extremism. Which to my mind are two peas in the same pod.

In my world view anyone that says another group is “Less Than” because of color, national origin is racist.

I don’t care what your skin color is, If you’re saying someone with a different skin color is bad, solely on the basis of their skin well you’re a racist.

If you disagree with someone who happens to look different than you do, and that disagreement has nothing to do with skin color, then you have no grounds to call them a racist and they have no grounds to call you a racist.

You’re presumably adults who have different opinions. That is not racism, that is a disagreement.

But I digress.

I have noticed that some of these groups have really interesting logos, and art pieces with messages emblazoned over the art.

Advertising / Merchandising… “May the Swartz be with you…” I smile when I think about Mel Brooks in Space Balls.

I would suggest to many of these groups, check your spelling and punctuation. (I’m bad with both myself)

Your message may be muddied by typos. If your message is riddled with poor punctuation and typos, you’ve set yourself up to be cast as ignorant, racist, hayseed, or whatever, by people like those at the SPLC. Bad spelling and punctuation prove their assertions.

To the right are a couple of the images that I saw just today.

The best image I’ve seen today accompanied a Twitter post about lockdowns. I don’t know if this was an accident, or if it was staged. Either way it made me laugh.
