"Fortunate Son" by Creedence Clearwater Revival is a protest song that critiques the social injustice and class disparities within the Vietnam War draft system.

I am pretty iffy about my cradle Catholicism, but this whole thing offends me on so many levels my hair burst into fire.

Favorite signs today 😁

Art installation in Mexico City, Olmec head on a smashed Tesla.

Remembering Ozamadias; I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies,

Whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear:

And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Proud of home team Washington! It's like scoring the first touchdown in the Hunger Games Superbowl.

My true love didn't believe these cabinet fools would get confirmed.

While others are attending to the imbroglio on Capitol Hill, I invoke St. Florian against fires and in protection of firefighters. Can't hurt, might help.
