Join Jo, Tara, and Kaivan on this episode of Big F*ing Deal, on The Siren Network, to discuss the latest shocking allegations of Eric Swalwell, Spencer Pratt’s Mayoral campaign, Jeff Bezos’ disgisting Met Gala appearance, and the Kentucky Derby winner.
I have always has a vulnerability to beautiful intelligent women. I remember a friend starring in an amateur production of Man from La Mancha 60 years ago and it can't hurt to dream the impossible dream.
I listened to Oscar Brand sing Guantanamo Bay and faced an obscene opinion piece on Cuban History all that is missing is the Holocaust began in Cuba in 1939. On Holocaust Remembrance Day Canada's Prime Minister began with the SS St Louis and the role of Washington, Las Vegas, Ottawa, and THE VATICAN in Saint Augustine's "Final Solution."
I learned how to write by making comments in the NYT and I watched the truth no longer be fit to print and I watched democracy die in darkness. Cuba is a colony of a dying Empire and it needs to wait out the death of a dying decaying and stinking carcass. I live in a liberal democracy and understand what Sophocles said in Greek so long ago. "Who the gods seek to destroy they first make mad."
I once dreamed of becoming an American but failed standing in line at Broadview Illinois and being treated like shit by the bottom of America's Cracker Barrel while I secretly volunteered at the Wobblies. The only crime in America is being poor, sick or human. Cubans are healthier and better educated than Americans yet live in poverty. It is called colonialism. I was born in a colony of Britain, and America and we had a REAL revolution and we have a REAL FREE PRESS which is supported by my taxes and a monthly volunteered donation because I watched democracy die in darkness and the truth unfit to print in the land of oligarchs, Snake oil and Bullshit.
I remember when NY21 was rich and Ottawa and Montreal were poor except for the educated, the entrepreneurial, the corrupt, the oligarchs and the church. NY21 is angry because we are rich and no longer spend time or money in their shithole congressional district of Elise Stefanik. My father-in-law loved Cuba he was US Navy and a scientist during WW 2 and spent his winters in Venezuela rather than Michigan. I cannot understand flying an American flag and believing in you legislative, executive and judicial branches of government. Canada is A DEMOCRACY AND THE PEOPLE RULE.
your ROBERTS' COURT OF INQUISITION SUPER MAJORITY Is INQUISITOR ROBERTS, SAMUEL FATHER Coughlin ALITO AND Clarence Clarabelle Thomas and the three stooges while the executive can best be described as bathetic farce and the legislative CAN BEST BE understood as Lord of the Flies.
I must admit that I thought Swalwell was swell but I thought Kamala would spend a month at her old High School where Leonard Cohen led the Buckskin Boys and dreamed of a life as a stand-up in Nashville.
As I age, it is evermore difficult to endure the consequences of unregulated greed. I look into the eyes of my beautiful grandchildren and I can't help but weep for their lifetime of fallen ideals and the prisons greed will build around their happiness.
Everything that's alive
Wants to survive.
Is there not a voice
To rise above the din
A message to invigorate
Frozen truths to bloom
Crumble towers
Of babble
Nature embodies the truth
Life outside the human mind
Operates on the immutable
truth written in the heavens
Only the human mind insists on
Bending the truth to suit our
Thirst for power and leisure
Will a god or someone or something teach us how to live peacefully, or is the universe as cruel as it seems?
I am Asperger's syndrome and I can't drink and could never afford illegal drugs because I couldn't ever keep a job because I can't remember what I am saying while I am speaking. I met my wife when she was doing her doctorate in educational administration in Calgary Alberta and Dr Robert Carney was her external examiner.
I attended schools run by the Protestant School board of Greater Montreal and grew up a five minute walk from where Kamala Harris grew up. Westmount High School is the pride and joy of Montreal's E$nglish speaking community where a man's wealth is measured by the size of his library. I met my wife at Jewish Singles in Calgary Alberta at Stampede Party and Heneni Here I am from from Cohen's greatest comedy album You want it Darker
Leonard Cohen led the country band at Westmount High School and dreamed of a career as a standup comic at the Grand old Opry in Nashville. My father in Law was a TVA scientist in Tennessee when my father in law was given 24 hours to get out of Tennessee for reporting corruption to the Godfather of Corruption in Tennessee the Governor AND MY WIFE OCCUPIED A bureau drawer as her mother and father made their way back to Michigan. My wife was born at Commodore Vanderbilt's Shrine to Mark Twain's Gilded Age and never finished High School because the University of Chicago needed space cadets to teach science in the 1950s and Michigan said she could play baseball at Michigan only after finishing her senior year in militia Michigan.
I know AI it is my mother tongue. I was seven when they summoned my parents to school and chastised them for my sloth as I was failing primary school with a genius IQ and a PhD vocabulary which both my parents possessed despite my mother starting work at 12 because my grandfather died of tuberculosis in the Laurentian Mountains north of Montreal and my father graduated from Jesuit High School an hour from Camp Auschwitz by cattle car and arrived in NEW PORK CITY in 1928 with a green card and family of means. My father surrendered his green card to an older sister who needed full time caring and joined his two sisters in Montreal to take care of him.
I am slow. My wife's staff bought me a Slow Mow Tee Shirt which I still wear after 35 years ago. I watched the Rise and Fall of the Fourth Reich in my 78 years.; I worked with the juvenile male products of fetal Alcohol disorder the number one cause of autism spectrum disorder in the Christian World. Especially Britain, Russia and Austro-Hungary
Woody Guthrie knew Donald's father and I don't know whether Donald is the best or worst President America can have in 2026 but I know all I can do is speak my truth as a nearly blind senile and demented citizen of North America's full liberal democracy Trump is mentally ill and needs truth not p-raise and is totally unfit to lead anything but little Jackie Paper
Healthcare education and welfare are human rights like the ones Thomas Paine said were fundamental to liberal democracy in 1791. Darwin's theory is still science in 2026 and Noah is allegory. I know the story of Sodom and Gomorrah and I know Judaism 101 and allegory is true for all human history and the US constitution is 18th century and as Jefferson said needed to be updated and redefined every 19 years. JEFFERSON was a eviolutionary botanist and a Unitarian like Jesus not a Greeki like Saul the ancient American of Tarsus. Jefferson WAS A SCIENTIST NOT A THEOLOGIAN OR A SOPHIST LIKE ANTONIN SCALIA OR RUTH BADER GINSBERG. Science requires empirical evidence not faith, hope and charity. The kakistocracy has removed all credibility in Pax Americana and America is a house divided.
Here in Quebec race is homo sapiuens sapiens a double oxymoron and evolution is only change not progress. At Westmount High School gender is analog not binary. AI is artificial and worthless because we are analog not binary. Religion is between our ears and perception is our only reality and religion belongs in the home, the temple or in the closet that is why my brother Jesus threw the bankers out of ther Temple and why the Samaritans who are Israeli Jews in 2026 understand Herod's Temple does a disservice to the almighty.
Quebec has REAL GENUINE FREEDOM of the Press. It was last Wednesday 18 years ago that Obama threw Reverend Jeremiah under the bus and finally understood "the chickens have come home to roost." It was the same day your court of Inquisition led by John Tomas de Torquemada Roberts said " all men are created equal some are more equal than others" Stalin the Pig. John Shit for brains Roberts was not fit for public office in 1789 because he was not a real Christian and had no religion only his conservatism which dictates authority come from above not from the people below which we call democracy.
I was born under the padlock laws that made me second class and I failed to tolerate being second class in Broadview Illinois under the supervision of the bottom of your Cracker Barrel known as Citizenship and Immigration even though I had an American legal sophist familiar with immigration law.
America is a bathetic farce, and I suspect it is the fourth and final Reich.
We cannot change what was or what is and King Midas is Greek and American Tragedy. We will have an election in 2026 in Quebec and we will have a new government and our ruling party will be confined to the dustbin of history because we have Press Freedom as a foundation not pie in the sky and power corrupts. Democracy died in darkness and the truth was deemed unfit to print according to my records on my hard drive and the Post and the New Pork Times. America committed suicide because it could no longer stand the pain of decay and corruption. Suicide is not painless for those left behind.
I remember Tennyson and the suicide of the six huyndred in Crimea and Ours is not to reason why; ours is but to do and die when the Russians were retreating back to Moscow.
Conservatism is greed identifying who is worthy of the riches. In America, that's whites. Will someone please remind Clarence sexoffender Thomas that he's a black man. When the coup over Constitutional government is complete, he won't be invited to the party.
In Quebec Clarabelle Thomas is homo sapiens sapiens just like Jeszus and the anti-Semite Paul of Tarsus a North African who believed in Olympus not the Almighty of Jesus of Nazareth who died on a cross of wood not gold or silver like the cross of William Jennings Bryan of Inherit the Wind. Australia's mammals are marsupials and and have no belly buttons and survived the flood without Noah trhe drunkest drunk on the planet who just obeyed orders
because he could not know right from wrong and Lucy never ate of the fruit of the tree of kinow3ledge of good and evil. Jesus said the truth shall set you free not faith, hope and charity like in Greek mythology and the tragedies of Pygmalion, Pandora and King Midas. Thomas Jefferson wasn't a Greek and Latin Scholar like the English Supremacist John Adams the Congregationalist.
Judaism and Islam were capital crimes in 1600 in Joly Olde England. There were no Jews, Moslems, Roman Catholics or women allowed in Shakespeare's Globe theatre only English Catholic (Anglican) men and thespians or as Mel Brooks explained it in Men in Tights.
Just being able to hear and see you Jo with so many options just makes my day. Your spunk and sparkle make me smile.

I was supposed to be dead 16 years aqo or 28 years ago for people like myself with Asperger's syndrome but I got lucky.
I am loveable and charismatic and at 78 I know I have nothing to lose by admitting I am a total idiot.
