I 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.
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 SouthPark “Death 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?
I 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
OMG! 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.
Who 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.
After 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.
My Mom and I were chatting.
The usual pleasantries, How the family is and how things are going, you know, usual Mom stuff.
Then Mom started talking about the upcoming election and vote by mail.
In the back of my mind I’m thinking this will probably not go well, but I go along for the ride.
Mom asks me what I think about vote by mail. Uh oh, this is going to go South really fast.
I tell her I disagree with the “All vote by mail” initiatives.
“Why?”
“Because I think it’s too easy for shenanigans to affect the vote.”
“Not really,” she says.
“Yes really Mom. Voters in FL couldn’t handle pushing a pin through a piece of paper several years back. Other states have been sued to force them to review, and clean up their voter registrations. Each of those invalid registrations would produce a mailed ballot to a household that shouldn’t be sent a ballot. This would potentially allow multiple votes to be counted that shouldn’t be.”
“People wouldn’t do that,” She says.
“Trust me they would, Mom. Probably for no other reason than it would be funny and they’d think it’s no big deal. Mom, I’m actually in favor of requiring ID at the polling location.”
“Oh we can’t have that. There are lots of people that don’t have ID and can’t afford it,” She replies.
“Really? So how do these people write checks, do banking, cash their paychecks, get on a plane, or use a credit card, Mom? It’s a pretty low bar to produce your state issued / required identification to cast a vote. If it’s a matter of not being able to afford a state ID, then make state IDs free, and still charge for drivers licenses.”
“Some people don’t have birth certificates, Son”
“Come on Mom, I don’t have my birth certificate. I’ve never gotten a replacement copy since the fire. But I do have my driver’s license, and a little thing called my passport which every citizen is also supposed to have. So once again, if you’re a citizen you’re supposed to have some ID right? Those folks who are so old that they may not have these things are probably not in much shape to vote, not that they shouldn’t be able to, but it’s a very small subset. Unless you count the vote by seance crowd.”
“You sound just like YOUR FATHER!” [Note: They’ve been Divorced for 50 years, He’s been Dead for 28 years.]
“So you’re saying I Win???? Hello? Hello? Mom?”
“IF YOU WISH TO MAKE A CALL PLEASE HANG UP AND TRY AGAIN…”
Hmmm, I knew that wasn’t going to end well.
