Since the early twentieth century, Western society has been in the grip of a culture of repudiation รขโฌโ rejecting one by one the institutions, offices, traditions and achievements of the past, while having often little but sentimental emptiness with which to replace them.

In case any of you were wondering, in the metaverse of science fiction universe’s space-time coordinates, you are here. You, I, and the rest of us poor schmucks are right at the nexus of pretty much every major dystopian creation of the last 100 years. ๐
Pedantic, Over-Thinking Note: My one issue with this venn diagram is that I would have put 1984 and Brave New World in opposing positions instead of next to each other.
AOC’s degeneracy is a perfect symbol for the degeneration and decline in anything resembling American thought amongst the younger, dumber Democrats. It only took two generations for AOC to be spawned and then to blithely turn JFK’s famous speech to the world on its head.
And so, my fellow Americans: Ask not what your country can do for you – ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world: Ask not what America will do for you, but what together we can do for the freedom of man.

Alright. It’s true that I rarely lampoon Republican politicians, those doing what they can to hold the line and defend my country from our domestic enemies. Still though, fair is fair, funny is funny, and irony should burn at least a little. So, Democrats laughing at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA 14) when she called for decorum in the House not only doesn’t offend me, I actually find it a bit funny and a fair response.
Let’s face it; MTG is a lot things, and most of them are good or based upon The Good. But having even a passing acquaintance with decorum isn’t one of them. Or, at least, she’s not to-date shown any fondness on the job for staying within decorum’s bounds. So…
Bikini Interlude – An Elsewhere Than The Beach Edition
