Be Careful What You Wish For

What incites me to blood rage are all the emails I'm getting from the establishment "right", telling me that I have to donate as much money as I can right now, because Planned Parenthood is going to be running a lot of ads, and we need to run our own ads. I've gotten about 15 ads since the decision was leaked, including such luminaries as Kevin McCarthy, Ben Shapiro, Ron DeSantis, and various Ohio politicians. As my wife, who is very pro-life, notes, where were these abominations during the fight for curbing abortion? For the record, I support abortion, but not the Roe v Wade ruling in 1973. I've donated to PP in years long past, before I realized that they get a lot of taxpayer funding. No longer. What I'm doing now in response to these wastes of time is replying with a link to the GW figures I bought yesterday, such as The Exiled Dead, Soulblight Gravelords Battletome, and explaining that I care more about that than I care about which faction of the Uniparty gets to fuc& us over next. I've considered closing down my main email account, but I still have hopes of getting back to professional employment, and late yesterday I was contacted about a technical lead job here in Cincy. Pay rate is low, but I miss working. I just have to keep emptying the e-trash every day, lest it become sentient... Three more emails begging for money since I logged on at 2:30 am. Sigh.
You know, if it meant that much to them they could see if they could get an amendment to the Constitution. Of course, they'd want to use the words, "birthing people" so the latest SCOTUS judge could figure out what it meant . . . .
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.
