OMG OF THE WEEK

Almost saved this for the Dumb Bustard Award but it so isn’t funny.

New Mexico State Rep., Cathrynn Brown has introduced a bill to make it a 3^rd degree felony for women to terminate pregnancies resulting from rape by classifying these abortions as tampering with evidence.

This is not only disgusting but also appalling that a woman introduced it. Women against women—what gives?

Hairballs are hardly enough.

Turns out the guy was drunk so that's dumb and drunk.  Still no excuse.

TURN SIGNALS

Greetings Hairballers,

I'm on another tear.

The vague and self-absorbed drivers have gotten on my last nerve.  The other night one pedestrian was killed and another injured right down here on Coffee Pot Bayou by a hit and run driver.  The guy wasn’t drugged or drunk just in his egomaniacal world of speeding and blasting what passed for music. The police got him and he’s in jail, the injured person is still in the hospital and the dead person isn’t coming back.

This is the beginning of an off and on series about techno-maniacs—note reference to texting.

Don't worry, political junkies, I haven't given up on that either.

How ‘bout a little respect!

yea, you with the death grip

on the steering wheel,

your shoulders hunched up

against your ears

I’m that little handle

on the left that you ignore,

the clicky one

covered in dust,

unused

I came with the car

no charge,

not an add on

like that CD player

you blast to the world

do you think other drivers

can read minds,

have crystal balls

or cell phones with the

psychic network on speed dial?

wish I’d been bought

by a better driver

because now you're texting,

not watching the road

and I have a headache

an invasion of privacy

it’s not

to let others know

your next move

in traffic

Hairballs,

OMG OF THE WEEK

Greeting Hairballers,

In case you've been too busy basking in the glow of the inauguration, just letting you know that the right-wing has been busy working against you.

After failing to win the presidential election with voter suppression and threats, the GOP is now trying to change the Electoral College to work in their favor as opposed to the will of the majority.

Hey, you lost because your party is not in sync with the voting populace. The American people won’t be herded into to your pens of right-wing dogma.

The Koch brothers are not gods, they’re manipulators. Wake-up.

Come join the rest of us in the 21^st Century.  It’s pretty nice here.

Hairballs to them,

SHIT HAPPENS

Greetings Hairballs,

It's been a rough couple of weeks so when I heard the news that someone in Citrus County had been hit with a glob of blue ice, I wrote this little bit of fiction.  We've all had days, weeks, maybe even years like this.

I'm watching the Calgary Flames so all is right with the world at this moment.  Enjoy.

SHIT HAPPENS©

         FMHorner

it all started with that chunk of blue ice

that fell from a passing plane,

landing on the top of my head—

killed instantly

that much I know.

I hovered at the site awhile

like one of those out of body experiences

only for real.

always be careful, Mother cautioned.

suppose I had worn a helmet, right

like everyone expects to be hit on the head

with frozen shit dropping from the heavens.

too late now

I’m floating up here dead and

wondering what next—

it’s embarrassing.

zilch—no instructions,

no ground, sky, nothing

wherever here is—

hello, anybody?

Hairballs to all.  Next week, Techno-crazies, I hope.
