"The Debt! The Debt!"

Call me a taxpayer but I don't give a shit how much it costs my government to protect my health and well-being during a global pandemic. Or anytime. And for as long as I need it. No matter how much money I do or don't have. I'm a Canadian citizen, ffs.

2020 Election Eve

I remember when the Bush/Gore thing was happening back in 2000 and I was so gung ho that Gore would ultimately be declared President of the United States. But my mother said, "No. They cheat. Bush will be President. Did you get the cheque? Don't just spend it on groceries. Buy new chairs."

And I was gung ho on Snowden. But my mother said, "No. He's a traitor. He'll go live in Russia. I just put a cheque in the mail. Don't just spend it on groceries. Buy something you want. You still haven't bought new chairs. Buy new chairs."

Etc etc etc with many in-betweens and follow-ups. Me: gung ho. Her: traitor, cheque, buy new chairs because in one of those catastrophic slips I once mentioned wanting new chairs.

(Full disclosure: I could want new chairs until I die of ancient age without ever having bought new chairs. My mother could want new chairs for as long as it took to her to make the ten minute drive to Sears. So we were related by blood but not really in any other way. Like, in a fair universe, she should have been able to trade me for another daughter and I should for sure have been able to trade her for another mother. Alas, the universe is not fair.)

(Fuller disclosure: I have a chair that I hate so much it's destroying my will to live and I fished it out of the garbage down the street.)

Donald Trump - Double Agent

Occurred to me today, given how Donald Trump has exposed everybody around him as willing to commit treason rather than have the kompromat on them get out, that maybe the rumours about him being an FBI informant are true.

In any case, he sure has brought back voting, eh?

A Hunter We Will Go, A Hunter We Will Go, Hi Ho the Dairyo A Hunter We Will Go

Xtra! Xtra! Read all about it! Mainstream media pundit, Rex Murphy, lambasts mainstream media in mainstream media for not reporting on Joe Biden's son Hunter being a rich pedophile pizza trafficker in Ukraine!

Chartwell Tries for a Comeback

So of course CBC is back to its old tricks with Chartwell advertising its seniors residences to local news watchers as places to visit.

Yeah, key word - visit.

Then report what you saw to CBC.

Spare a Thought

Everybody and her maiden aunt is going on about the children this Halloween, and how they'll miss out on this most sacred of holidays, the one that's all about candy and dressing up in costumes and getting to run around outside at night.

It falls on a Saturday this year, too. So much easier for the dads who have to accompany children nowadays because helicopter parenting is real, dammit, and no modern parent is comfortable letting their children run around outside during the day, never mind at night.

My brother got mugged - twice - on Halloween, and it happened when he was old enough for me to remember it, and he's three and a half years older than me. He broke a mirror in my Gram's bedroom, though, so bad luck for seven years.

But that's not what this entry is about because this entry is about sparing a thought for the millions of young women who won't get to dress up like sexy mice, or Rocky Horror Picture Show maids, or just how they would always like to dress because they're into looking sexy but recognize that it can hold them back professionally and so reserve it for Halloween.

Also, the other type of young woman on Halloween.
