Marjorie Taylor Greene is the target of many comedians — maybe “target” is a bad choice of words…
Carlin has a way of seeing through mountains of bullshit, only to find horseshit at the bottom of the pile. Continue reading

Hey, now, here’s an idea that the school kids might find fun as well as somewhat defensive — arm every kid with a Byrna non-lethal launcher and … oh, I forgot, there is an age-limit of 18 years old on these puppies, so forget I mentioned it. Continue reading

It’s goddam impossible to ignore — the political assholes are pushing the rest of us through a meat-grinder and mud, just to get where they’re going, which is a planet full of nothing but them and an incoming cometary mass.
The comet was my idea.
I went to high school at Riverside Military Academy, in Gainesville, Georgia, the chicken capital of the world, and while there, I noted the absence of anyone of color except in the kitchen, and overheard kids talking about how the south will rise again, and slavery will be restored.

I hope you enjoyed the Pluto/Mars thing. I thought it was very witty. So, what I’ve envisioned with my ESCAPE! Videos is dependency.
What I mean is, I want to create a place where you can go to get lost for a while, to escape from Planet Earth’s gritty, messy gore and circumstance, the Sturm und Drang of humanity.
What I’m after is a source, a veritable fountain of wit and humor and interesting things for you to discover every single day and get uplifted as Hell.
Each of these ESCAPE! Video blogs takes between 4 and 6 hours to accomplish, with a lot of rejection behind me — I only keep the videos that are good all the way through, and that are not mean or negative.
I’m always on the lookout for funny stuff with significance and meaning — stuff that can cheer you up when you remember how it really is out there — if you get my drift.
With that and little else in mind, here’s a rousing, uplifting song that’s bound to cheer you up: Continue reading

I hope we make it out of Earth orbit soon, I’m running out of escape videos… Well, here are a few, to tide you over until the next wave:
Not funny, it’s true, but interesting, highly informative and well-produced. Of course, there are other explanations for the examples she gives, but let’s leave it at “Parallel Universes”, and speaking of parallel universes, I think you’ll get a kick out of this quantum piece by acapella science.

Win Powerball $1.6 Billion
If you think it’s easy to win millions or billions of dollars at any sort of game of chance, especially the state lottery, you’re right. It’s easy to win, but much easier to lose. Here’s a 2009 video showing the lottery win, plus an alternative life-style to the millionaire:
Did we win at the lottery? Not I — it’s not my sort of thing. But my Mom did, and lived for another 20 years without doing anything but watching daytime TV and playing an occasional table game.
I took none of the winnings, and it turns out, some 35 years later, we live a beautiful life that can’t be bought with money, a Work Life, and I wouldn’t trade it for all the money in the world.
Especially all the money in the world. What would I want with that? If you’ve never had a LOT of money, you’ll think I’m making this up, but I’ve known hundreds of millionaires and a few billionaires, and hundreds of very successful movie stars, and they were all miserable. Continue reading

I had to open with the Tim Minchin piece — it just got uploaded a few hours ago.
Concerning Metal Embossing
I use several kinds of metal in my embossing studio — copper, brass and other. The “Other” is a strange brand of aluminum coated with some sort of gold-like stuff, with aluminum on the back — which is easy enough to overcome in a piece of jewelry.
The aluminum sheet is easy to emboss, no struggle whatever, but I can’t say as much for the copper, which is very hard to manage, and the brass, hardest of all.
The thing is, if you want to make a sturdy set of wind chime earrings, you’ve got to use brass — copper just won’t do, it’s too doggone soft. On the other hand, just try embossing copper and see how soft it is — the answer is “not very”. Copper looks amazing, and so does the brass, but they don’t take detail like the coated aluminum sheet does. Continue reading

Last Gasps of Liberty
Enjoy it while you’ve still got it, but your Liberty along with your Personal Liberty will be gone in a matter of days, and you’re left holding the bag. I intend to reveal to you some last-minute Saves, by which I refer to some tricks that even you, as insignificant and weak as you are, can pull out of that bag. Here are a few amusing and immersive videos that might take the edge off the day just a little. Have fun, no matter what happens.
ESCAPE! Videos #10
I’m going to try a new format this morning, where I just say whatever I want to say, and at the same time, run a few interesting and possibly funny videos past you, to take off some of the sting — but you need to know what’s going on, even while you’re laughing out loud.
So … Here we are, exactly one week away from the midterms, and there is no good news ahead — it’s all bad, starting with the loss of democracy and the annihilation of the vote, but wait! You can still have a few laughs before they come to get you, and here’s one of them:
The Purges have begun. When Trump is placed back in office — and he will be — everyone who has EVER been even SLIGHTLY critical of Trump will be rounded up and taken to the wall, and I don’t mean the wall that the Mexicans were supposed to pay for.
I’ll definitely be among the first against the wall, for a variety of offenses including my political humor book, “Trump is a Four-Letter Word”, and my Protest Songbook, Protest CD album, protest cartoons and videos and, of course, my 18 newly released video games that make fun of Trump and the allies he rode in on.
