If You’re Cold

Posted in Humor, Politics, Society on January 7th, 2015

Yeah, I imagine that the angry, race-baiting, ghetto thugs and their White enablers and panderers aren’t liking the winter weather.

Have a warm mug of something and laugh at the fools
If You’re Cold, They’re Cold

Just, for the love of all that’s right and holy in America, neither bring them in nor let them in.

Obama Faces Hazard

Obama faces a certain hazard with the new, GOP-controlled CongressObama Faces Certain Hazard

With both sides of the 114th Congress under Republican control, Obama definitely faces a certain hazard. Then, with the entirety of the boy’s tenure as POTUS being – kindly, to the point of being a hand-out – best described as a “mulligan,” this shouldn’t come as much of a surprise.

Ave Atque Vale, Senator

Posted in Politics on January 5th, 2015

Senator Edward W. Brooke IIIAve atque vale, Senator Edward W. Brooke III.

Edward W. Brooke III, who in 1966 became the first Black elected to the US Senate by popular vote, winning as a Republican in overwhelmingly Democratic Massachusetts, died on Saturday, January 3, 2014 at his home in Coral Gables, Fla. Brooke was 95 years old.

Previously, Mr. Brooke was twice elected Attorney General of Massachusetts and was the first Black to be elected Attorney General of any state.

The only previous Black Senators were Blanche Kelso Bruce and Hiram Rhodes Revels – unsurprisingly both Republicans – who were elected prior to the 17th Amendment, hence not by voters but, instead, by the Mississippi Legislature during the punitive years of the Reconstruction.

I will not pretend that I agreed with all of Sen. Brooke’s politics, but I will also not pretend that I disagreed with all of them either. Nor will I say that he served with less than grace, dignity, and firm commitment to both his constituency and his principles, walking a difficult and fine line when the two were at odds.

Ave atque vale, Senator Edward W. Brooke III. Hail and farewell.

Beautiful Faces Project

Thanks to Benedikt Morschheuser’s immensely useful – to me, at least – NextGen Scroll Gallery plugin, I can now beautify Reflections From A Murky Pond with the Beautiful Faces Project I’ve been wanting to do.

Beautiful Faces

Reflections From a Murky Pond is not by nature a pleasant place, nor was it really meant to be. I have always, and plan to continue, leavening its darker aspects with periodic interludes of beauty, most of which will be depictions of varieties of female faces and forms as they are, in my rarely humble opinion, the Gods’ finest art.

Feminism 2015

Posted in Movies, Society on January 4th, 2015

Free that which is already freeSometimes a film aptly and quite perfectly encapsulates a sociopolitical movement or meme and Free The Nipple is on of those films. It is the distillation and summation of the modern, toxic wave of Feminism.

Amongst other things of little or nor value, this is a film where one character masturbates to videos of herself masturbating.

That right there pretty much sums up the film, the Free The Nipple “movement” in NYC, and the entirety of the modern iteration of Feminism – a narcissistic, masturbatory fantasy.

On the brighter side though….Hey! Topless women! πŸ˜†
