Yeah. I know. It’s been a while.
No excuses.
It.has.just.been.a.while.
Look at the Captain’s Blog Roll and you’ll see the same ennui.
Blogs are going the way of the 3½” floppy disc.
Which weren’t floppy, by the way.
But you get the idea.
Check it out for yourself. Only a couple of the sites on the Captain’s Blog Roll post with any regularity. But they are monetized.
That means they get paid for posting.
The Captain does not.
I do it for the joy of my cold, dead heart.
Nonetheless, you are here, so let me give you an update on what has happened in the world since my last post.
Mass shootings.
Almost every day.
And the shooting of people who were simply in the wrong place at the wrong time.
Wrong house. Bang!
Wrong driveway. Bang!
Wrong car. Bang!
Wrong color of skin. BINGO!
But it's not guns.
Fuck!
Yesterday, FOXNews settled a lawsuit brought by Dominion Voting Machines.
The people at Fox knew their balls were in a sling.
They have to pay $787 million to Dominion.
But they don’t have to issue an apology for their continuous lies about the 2020 election.
In fact, the lawyers for FOXNews immediately issued some statement about "journalistic integrity".
Two words FOXNews has never uttered before.
The Captain is happy for Dominion, but what I really wanted was to see Rupert Murdoch nailed to the wall for his network’s lies.
Captain’s Note: Just as a reminder, FOXNews won an earlier lawsuit by admitting they aren’t really a news network. They are “entertainment”.
Like the World Wrestling Federation had to admit a few years back that it wasn’t a sport.
As if there was any doubt...
Meanwhile, Donald Trumpf still walks free.
With multiple indictments against him.
With many of his associates in prison.
With several other cases against him waiting in the wings.
And the mindless, gullible MAGAt masses still throwing money at him.
He still walks free.
In fact, he’s still running for President.
And he is still the GOP front-runner.
His supposed challenger, Florida Governor DeSatan, who has yet to officially announce his candidacy, is working overtime to get back at Disney for outsmarting him.
DeSatan was pissed because Disney opposed a piece of his stupid-ass legislation.
In retaliation, DeSatan convinced the state legislature to try to wrestle control over the Reedy Creek District from Disney, but later realized it would cost citizens living in the area thousands of dollars in taxes. So his state legislature approved the replacement of the Reedy Creek Board with non-Disney people. But just prior to that legislation going into effect, Reedy Creek transferred control to the Disney Corp.
Now DeSatan is talking about building a state prison next door to Disney World.
Mates, it is NOT about children or parental authority or anything else that matters.
This is just a pissing match.
And the House of Mouse is winning.
On the home front, the Captain has a small contingent at the church trying to stage a mutiny.
It’s not about strawberries.
It was never about strawberries.
They want to take control of the church and shape it the way they want it.
Their rallying cry is, “Gay people are icky!”
I shit you not!
After 130 years with the denomination, suddenly they don’t like the fact that Grace is finally prevailing over Law.
They think that over the next six months they can create a more perfect church.
One that prevents gay people from participating fully.
“Oh, we love everyone!” they claim.
“But homosexuality is a SIN!!!”
Captain’s Note: Do you kiss your gay children with that mouth? Because… they are gay. You know that, right?
Add to all that, my Administrative Assistant took a new job (getting out ahead of the aforementioned mutiny) and I am also losing my youth director.
And because of the aforementioned mutiny, finding a new youth director will not be easy.
Of course, with all of this going on, your Captain is ready to find another ship.
Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!
No regrets.
Now you see why I haven’t posted for a while?
