REFLECTING ON PASSIVE-AGGRESSION

People accuse me of being passive-aggressive. Yeah, so what? Is it better to be aggressive-aggressive? Or maybe you think I should  just be simply passive. Like republikkkons are, as they watch an 80-year-old supremely passive-aggressive guy turn their party into a cliche' of comically stupid/corrupt government. The guy who Trump hired to paint the Lincoln Memorial could have stepped out of  Central Casting, or the Soprano's. A short, fat, Italian-American with a fat cigar a bulky manilla envelope in their breast-pocket, and you don't want to know what's in the waistband under his suit coat. Vincent Pastore or Steve Schirippa. 

Yeah, I know I'm a smart-ass; I'm a cynic, thats what we do. I'm not here to analyze myself, others can do that whether I approve or not. But I have developed my cynicism over seven decades of living life and noticing people who I admire for their activities on behalf of those who aren't insiders in some passive-agressive financial scheme. I am passive-aggressive about things I am passionate about, and I don't care if you approve, because I speak with that passion that moves me to care. I'm not getting paid to care, like those morons on the right lining up for the scraps Donald Trump throws out. I'm not one of those simpering fools in the Republikkkon party hiding behind their desks, afraid to offend a corporate funder. In my passive-aggressive way, i spell that party with three K's. Usually I append an 'on' behind those K's. Because, whether they like it or not they are meah about the KKK  and the con-games done in broad daylight, as if intending to say, "yeah, so what? Go after me, I'll make you suffer". At other times I have another, more anatomical ending of that word. Something commonly heard from the lips of a passive-aggressive Brit. Still retaining the deserved KKk. That party, long ago lost its right to be honored for their moral example, and I am not the one to look for their salvation. 

We tried. Most of us. Not necessarily me. We put up with Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly and a host of other right-wing sycophants, calling us libtards, dummycrats, femi-nazi's, and other insults. Sometimes, in my passive-aggressive way, I remind those people who stupidly call us libtards that liberals advance human progress and conservatives slow us down, i.e. retard. We listened to those people, one a currently sitting president, who demanded citizenship papers from a sitting president whose skin is darker than republikkkons are comfortable with. We heard the Obama's called monkeys. They were even aghast,aghast, that First Lady Michelle Obama planted an organic garden on the Whitehouse grounds. Then the First Lady that followed the Obama's, the only first Lady who once posed showing her public hairs, paved over Jackie Kennedy's rose garden. And you accuse me of passive-aggression? Even worse, the guy who said during his Electoral run that he could "grab women by their pussy" spread a vicious lie that Hillary Clinton was running a child sex ring from the basement of a pizza parlor. A pizza parlor that has no basement. And then they voted for the guy who was also an unapologetic child-abuser. But I'm the bad guy for being passive-aggressive. During all of this, Michelle Obama advised us that, "when they go low-we go high". How did that work out? I'm entitled to my passive-aggression! I earned that right! Mark Twain once described a cynic as "someone who did not arrive". Not only did we not arrive, you flipped us the bird as you sped past. So I will stand in solidarity with anyone whose passion does not end in the suppression of rights.

Marion County Commissioners.

My name is Larry Ramsay and I live in zip code 97301. This lawsuit is going forward challenging the Oregon Sanctuary Law so the US Attorney General can send in federal troops, along with ICE officials. Suppose you are successful; suppose Black SUVs are a daily presence in Portland, Eugene, and Salem. We will have people hired by the puppy-killer lady and the Attorney General cliche' for blond. Men and women who have been quickly hired and poorly-trained by these poor examples of leadership. Even worse some of them may be people who desire the excitement of gun-fire.  This is the script for another Kent State. Do you Madame Commissioner want your Visage splashed all over Facebook after such an event? I am not sure that this will help your political aspirations. The Republican regime in Washington DC will stink up the way local republican politics will be regarded for years to come in Oregon because they will be here telling you how to do your job, if you know what's good for you...

THE OREGON REPUBLICAN LEGISLATOR: IF YOU DON'T GET YOUR WAY, WALK OUT.

    Oregon is generally a blue state, thanks to the major population areas on the west side of the Cascades. The eastern half of the state is a much different story. Thanks to the motor-voter bill, signed into law a few years ago, and mail-in voting , that has been in place since about 1987, the Republican party has not been successful at voter suppression. Thus, the GOP holds a minority of seats in both houses of the legislature. In the Senate, Democrats have a veto-proof majority. Thus, the only legislative tactic left to them is a walkout which denies a quorum. They have done this twice, in two consecutive legislative sessions. Both times have been over the issue of cap-and-trade. In 2019, one legislator, Brian Boquist of Dallas, actually threatened to shoot any state cop who came to take him to the capitol. That's another thing about Republicans, there are too many unhinged people who own guns.       Republican disbelief aside, our world is threatened b...

ROBERT

     I first met Robert when he walked into our Toastmasters meeting at Warner Creek Correctional Facility, a minimum security prison. We were a small group of ten to twelve reliable members. On that particular night we were expecting a new member to give his Icebreaker speech. People usually take a few weeks to write that speech, partly to overcome their shyness and fear, and partly to compose a speech that will withstand the inevitable critique. That person did not show up. Robert offered to step into the spotlight with no script or preparation. He gave a remarkably good speech. Funny, self-effacing, and honest. Robert was a full-blooded Native-American, an Ojibwa from the province of Ontario, Canada. He had left school in the fifth grade and run away from home. First Nation tribal members were given dual US and Canadian citizenship, mostly because their ancestral tribes may well have been forced to move north by the US cavalry. An additional factor was because, prior t...
