The Little Words Mean the Most

The Party of Lincoln Stands Refreshed by the Blood of Gasbags

 

Naming him gives him power

 

Never name him

 

Then you weaken him

 

If enough people forget he exists he's no longer a problem

 

That's his Achilles Heel ("Look it up, stupid! That's what I pay you interchangeable dolts for! GOD I so often wonder why.")

 

Promise you won't say

 

his foul name

 

aloud or in print

 

PROMISE!

you know the Anti-Christ thing, the "myth" nobody believes except a few "nuts!"?

I'm THINKING it's here, the Anti-Christ ~ one unrestrained ego determined to take charge ... to destroy democracy and to fight, backed by the world's largest arsenal, as if everyone was the enemy of the United States except the "germline" (you'll be glad you looked it up) born on this nation's shores. ¶ America is political humanity's best hope for peaceful co-existence. It's big enough, powerful enough, progressive enough, idealistic enough to do that. ¶ What kills and defames and sours the brand of nations is a lack of will toward a common goal.

The United States has values others love. And we violate those values, Hillary. Voting for Iraq? Did someone slip you a Stupid Pill?

 

Still, better you than the unnameable puppy poop on the kitchen floor left by the RNC.

Today, July 23rd, is Simone's birthday! Happy birthday, dahlink!

Her students at St. Mary's made it special for her! Tonight, they're taking her bowling.

1st thought for today

Required new skills: You or somebody in your org. should be able to write an “open-worthy” subject line ... a headline that pulls me in ... and a basic response ad, one that makes an offer.

Or you can fail. No Plan B.

 

 

My next project, maybe

 

 

I recount and rewrite my entire life every year.

 

it's not inspiring it's not boring

The world's greatest fundraising researchers, Drs. Sargeant and Shang, took this shot of Simone and her pal on the peninsula in Cornwall which holds the remains of castle Tintagel, said to be King Arthur's birthplace. We love that legend

Something I blurted in our dining room might have inadvertently landed as a plank in the 2016 Republican platform

 

sorry

 

A while back, Prof. Gail Dines visited our house, looking for some fundraising advice from Simone. I sat in a bit. Dr. Dines is an anti-pornography crusader .... for health reasons. "She's a professor of sociology and women’s studies at Wheelock College in Boston, an internationally acclaimed speaker, author, and a feminist public intellectual." She authored Pornland: How Porn Has Hijacked Our Sexuality. We were batting ideas as one does. Angling for an angle. She mentioned that some young men became addicted to extreme porn and then lost their ability to relate in any normal way to sexual partners. Someone at the table said, "It's a public health crisis." Probably Dr. Dines. I believe I said something like, "There's your hook. It's the first Internet-driven public health crisis."

Headline, July 11, 2016:

GOP platform draft declares pornography 'public health crisis'

 

Dr. Dines reports that some faith-based group who came to hear her ran with her message and THAT'S how it became a Republican 2016 national platform plank. On one hand, she's delighted: more publicity never hurt. On the other, she's appalled: Trump and Gang?
