Better Than Nothing

Look out below!

That dumbass Elon Musk is getting ready to launch another spaceship. With his track record, now would be the time to invest in some shoulder pads and a football helmet…

That horse’s ass Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Douchebaggery, has failed in his efforts to censure and demote Senator Mark Kelly for his comments last year where he told servicemembers they could “refuse illegal orders.”

He calls it treason, but it is not.

It’s called critical thinking and no wonder Pentagon Pete is so befuddled. There isn’t one iota of critical thought connected to the current administration so he wouldn’t recognize it if it walked up to him and introduced itself.

I think Kelly would beat Hegseth’s ass in a fight.

And just to show it’s not just here in the (once) United States of America, a luxury development in Kyiv, Ukraine (in the midst of a war, no less) was found to be part of a huge money-laundering scheme.

And to show it’s not just the republicans, democrats in Minnesota formed to investigate fraud and crime are being accused of a 6.5 million-dollar fraud of their own.

America.

The Land of Opportunity (to steal).

I had this weird girlfriend in Las Vegas once (another one you ask?) who was just a little too far down the wacky trail, so to speak.

I mean she was gone.

And we couldn’t keep our hands off each other.

No, not the one that lived in the state Institution for Women, a different one.

She was actually normal compared to The Turquoise Swan.

She dealt baccarat at one of the busier tables in the downtown area and like me, she was a live-for-the-moment type alcoholic with an addictive personality.

If we were chemicals, there would have been an enormous explosion.

She always wore turquoise in gold and silver settings, and I don’t mean the cheap stuff. This was 1980 and she was bringing home about 4000.00 per month. It was her tip money because this was before dealers became organized, so you know she was doing well. Her paycheck (with overtime) brought home another eight-to-twelve grand a year.

She asked me if she could “rent “ me out to her other dealers and cocktail waitresses.

And she was serious.

Now, mama didn’t raise no cornpone and best as I can recall, I don’t  think I would have taken too long to weigh the merits of each before deciding that I would definitely take her up on her proposition being twenty-five and single in Las Vegas and all.

But before my days as a Las Vegas gigolo ever got started, this crazy woman got involved with a casino heist up in Reno and last I heard she was somewhere in Nevada doing time on the robbery attempt.

Like several before her, she grew up first and we parted friends.

No regrets, but certainly more than a few “what ifs.”

The Chinese refused entry into a historic Beijing temple to a U.S. secret service agent because he was carrying a firearm. Such arrogance on the part of the confused and angered dumbass ethnocentric agent to even possess the gall and irreverence (not to mention disrespect) to try and enter a sacred temple packing heat.

An awesome Netflix movie would be if they go through this lengthy, back and forth political hot potato until finally coming to a terse agreement to give a few marginal political concessions, but there would be NO FIREARMS allowed in the sacred temple.

When they finally consummate the elaborate ceremony and the two-ton moss-covered stone doors slowly swing open…

Fifty soldiers open fire on the president and his dumbass unarmed Secret Service agents.

But it will probably never happen.

Stay well.
