Finally, a sane voice from a religious person on this whole nightmare of Christian Nationalism…
Nothing but the best for yours truly!
Occasionally, occasionally, when I cannot get on one of the courses where I regularly play and my golf addiction is screaming at me, I will go to a course that, in Oklahoma, we would fondly call cow pasture golf. I am not going to name the course as I am slightly embarrassed to say I even play there
It is very cheap. During the week the green fee with a cart is only $25 for 18 holes. Most courses anymore are around $40 – plus or minus – during the week for seniors. Some are much, much more expensive.
The clientele is mostly the very old, the very young, and lots of hoosiers, the term used here for rednecks. At times you will see expensive cars there, but that is generally the very young driving Daddy’s Beemer or similiar luxury vehicle.
I was there a month or two ago, and they had this sign in the club house by the door. Yup, stay out of the corn and soy bean fields.
Nothing but the best for yours truly.
Quote of the Day – Pam Bondi
Quote of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence. I like quotes as they frequently distill a piece of wisdom into a brief passage, or make other points very succinctly – such as the witticisms of Oscar Wilde.
“You don’t tell me anything, you washed-up, loser lawyer.” ~~ Pam Bondi, Attorney General of the United States in a recent Congressional hearing.
I don’t really know, but I would imagine that Robert’s Rule of Order, used by many deliberative bodies, would frown upon such ad hominem attacks. Not to mention the sheer unprofessionalism it displays. But then again, I am not seeing any other members of this malAdministration showing any semblance of professionalism.
I gleaned this from Paul Krugman’s newsletter on SubStack. He went on:
“Yet what truly amazed me was her demand that Democrats stop talking about Jeffrey Epstein because the Dow was above 50,000. This plumbed new depths of moral bankruptcy, effectively saying: ‘How dare you complain about child rape when the stock market is up?’”
Oh the times we live in, when this passes for a government in a free democracy.

Vanity Plate for the Day – MRS 4TH
Vanity Plate of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one in the wild that I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence. When I was commuting from my home to downtown St. Louis and back, I was spending anywhere from an hour and half to two hours daily in rush hour traffic. I used the exercise of deciphering vanity plates to help pass the time… plus sometimes they are very clever and worth sharing.
This was on the back of a very new looking Cadillac Escalade. I found it interesting, but I am still trying to figure out the meaning. Is this the fourth wife? I am not sure I would be bragging about that. Perhaps her last name is Forth or some variation thereof? Could she be a big fan of the Fourth of July… born that day?

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #9,306
yeah I know you did not ask!
You should so be blessed – well cursed at times actually – with a mind such as mine, making all these weird connections between my rumored neurons. Just be thankful that I do not share all of my random thoughts.
Tattoos and piercings are like spices… a little will do ya.
Bruce Springsteen – Streets Of Minneapolis (Irish Folk Version)
The world is weighing in on the tRumpian craziness…
This Machine Kills Fascists
The image below is from a phrase Woody Guthrie wrote on his guitar. It is very sad that here we are, 75 years later, and we are fighting this fight again. The reality is that it seems to be a struggle that never ends, the clash of humanity’s dark side against its humanistic side.
As my cousin, The Don Quixote of West Texas, said, “This political nightmare is turning into a field day for musicians.”
Vanity Plate for the Day – Cremate
Vanity Plate of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one in the wild that I think worth sharing and there are not too many in sequence. When I was commuting from my home to downtown St. Louis and back, I was spending anywhere from an hour and half to two hours daily in rush hour traffic. I used the exercise of deciphering vanity plates to help pass the time… plus sometimes they are very clever and worth sharing.
This was on the back of a – new or nearly new – Lexus SUV. I did not catch the model number, but it was one of the BIG ones. It had an Arizona Plate. Looks like the cremation business is good in Arizona.

Bruce Springsteen – Streets Of Minneapolis (Official Audio)
The Boss needs no comment from yours truly. His words say it all. I would say enjoy, but this is a time for action. This monstrous malAdministration needs to go and like yesterday…
My Tombstone
Most of my posts of late have been rants about the monstrous malAdministration currently at the center of US politics. That wears after a while, even on me. So I thought I would try something a little lighter, perhaps a little contemplative, what I want on my tombstone. There is a long history of humorous grave markers, so why not mine.
Truth is that it is a moot point, as my wish it to be cremated. As a teenager my favorite novel was Robert A. Heinlein‘s, Stranger in a Strange Land. The protagonist of the novel, Mike, was raised on Mars by Martians. Mars, being a planet of scarce resources, the Martians did not waste anything, including the dead. Towards the end of the novel, after Mike had been killed – sacrificed or crucified, if you will – and Continue reading “My Tombstone”
