Reactionaries and Plums

"Fun" to watch the reactionaries fight Obama.
How they hate it when someone
Challenges their little world of
Dominance and Power.

And how they love to
Dis the poor.
I really don't understand it.
Why go after the poor?

Something seriously wrong.
"America for Americans" or something like that.
Do they really believe that?
Or is America for themselves?

A plum to be picked.

Which reminds me:
Little Jack Horner got the plum.
For sure, and then thought:
"What a good boy I am!"

Some Early Morning Thoughts

Some early morning thoughts ...

The fog lays a gentle hand on the land.
There's quietness afoot.

.......

I've never seen a herd of lemmings
heading toward the cliff.
Must be fascinating.
Every horrifying.

No, I've never seen lemmings doing this.
But I've watched the
American People,
As of late.

.....

Heck, who can blame the 1% for resisting social change?
Who can blame the English Aristocracy for telling
Everyone that the way things were was
God's design.

With a household full of servants.
Grounds tended by gardeners.
Carriages managed by those in liveried finest.
Nannies, cooks, and sycophants.

And much of the Church of England in their corner.
"Thus saith the LORD ..."
And all that poppycock.
Intoned so richly.

Eastwood, Detroit and GOP

Hats off to Eastwood and Detroit ... prosperity for the people is anathema to the GOP which has forgotten that everything from the Lewis and Clark Expedition, the Erie Canal, the coal and steel industries and the Interstate system are the product of of government and big biz working together for the welfare of the nation. The GOP has become childish and petulant - but such is the mindset of the privileged wealthy!
