When sh*t is so f#cked up in politics that you don’t know what to say, thank f#cking g*d for luminaries like the incomparable Trae Crowder, the original Liberal Redneck.

Liberal Redneck – Bama Bortion Ban [4:26]:

 

I don’t hate Alabama per se.  In fact I cherish some wonderful memories there.  But I surely hope these f#cking lawmakers meet with some untimely, painful deaths and complete their journey strait to hell, post haste.  Can we abort hypocritical, incompetent, fascist lawmakers, please?

AT RISE:  ClaraJane is playing in the bath.  Mom is sitting on the edge of the tub, blowing bubbles all over her daughter (relishing this moment after performing gigs all weekend).

Mom:  Oh, we need to wash your hair!

ClaraJane:  I already did!

M:  Really?

CJ:  Yeah!  I put in shampoo and conditioner.

M:  Oh?  Um…

CJ:   Now I’m just wondering what to do next!  HA HA HA HA HA!!

Both:  [Laughing.]

SCENE.

Character Values: Lying or Not

Posted on 2019/05/18 by

My late Uncle Jack told me;

“I’d rather believe in someone and be wrong

than NOT believe in them and be right.”

 

And this from the internet:

Before & After School Kids

ClaraJane rollerskates around friends at the morning bus stop:

 

After school, Gavin reads while ClaraJane works on Shrinky-Dink jewelry (in rollerskates):

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Gavin tries to convince his sister that one day she could be, like, an Art Scientist on Roller Skates:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

CJ is excited, plays with centrifugal force while Gavin yo-yo’s:

 

And wW play with mom’s new hoola hoop:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And that’s all I have to say about that.  (And all the GIF’s I have to give too.)
