NURSERY RHYMES FOR LITTLE CONSPIRACY THEORISTS

What with the shorter days, Omicron on the rampage, “unprecedented” tornadoes, and TFG staggering around the news like some goddam zombie, I thought it might be high (as it were) time for a little humor.  A friend had sent me a musical riff on some wacky QAnon escapee who just can’t seem to give up the fantasy, and the idea of an adult voluntarily behaving like a five-year-old reciting nonsense reminded me of my time in kindergarten.  So get out your blankie and settle in with some milk and cookies for nursery rhymes for little conspiracy theorists.   

The itsy bitsy dumb shit crawled up the water spout.

Down came the truth bomb, and washed the dumb shit out.

Out came the sun, and dried up all the crap,

And the itsy bitsy dumb shit went up the spout ASAP.

 

 

Twinkle, twinkle, little Q,

How I wonder who are you.

Up above reality,

Down by you just fantasy.

Twinkle, twinkle, little Q.

How I wonder who are you.

 

Here we go round the ‘spiracy bush,

The ‘spiracy bush,

The ‘spiracy bush.

Here we go round the ‘spiracy bush

On a cold and frosty morning.

This is the way we own the libs,

Own the libs,

Own the libs,

This is the way we own the libs

On a cold and frosty morning.

 

 

Brain, brain go away. 

Come again another day.

Brain, brain go away

QAnon just wants to play.

 

 

Trumpty Dumpty sat on a wall,

Trumpty Dumpty had a great fall.

All of Q’s horses and all of Q’s men,

Couldn’t put Trumpty Dumpty in power again.

 

 If you’re crazy and you know it, clap your hands.

(clap clap)

If you’re crazy and you know it, clap your hands.

(clap clap)

If you’re crazy and you know it, and you really want to show it.

If you’re crazy and you know it, clap your hands.

(clap clap)

 

 

I’m a little crackpot

Short and stout

Q is my handle

Just hear me spout.

 

When I get all steamed up

Hear me shout

“Tip me over

and lies pour out!”

 

 

QAnon went up the hill

To fetch a pail of bullshit.

Q fell down and broke his crown,

Nothing real came out of it.

 

 

Old QAnon had a farm, E I E I O,

And on his farm he had some trolls, E I E I O.

With a dox dox here and a dox dox there,

Here a dox, there a dox, everywhere a dox dox.

Old QAnon had a farm, E I E I O.

 

 

Row, row, row your ”facts,”

Gently down mainstream,

Media, media, media, media,

Truth is but a meme.

 

 

You put your right wing in,

You put your right wing out,

You put your right wing in,

And you shake it all about.

You do the Hokey Jokey,

You turn the facts around,

That’s what it’s all about.

 

This old Q, he played one

He played knick-knack on my thumb

With a knick-knack paddy whack

Down the rabbit hole

This old Q is one asshole.

 

Keep it real! And wear your damn mask!

Marilyn

IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS

A vocal critic of Benito Mussolini, Antonio Gramsci, Italian philosopher and politician,  was imprisoned for his political views in 1926; he remained in prison until shortly before his death in 1937.   From his cell, he wrote the  Prison Letters in which he famously said, “I’m a pessimist because of intelligence, but an optimist because of will."   In this time of upheaval, when the post-World War II world order is dying, a new world order is being born, and monsters roam the earth, it is from Gramsci's dual perspective that I write this post.    I will be brief. Th e window to oppose America’ s headlong rush into authoritarianism at home and neo-imperialism abroad by congressional or judicial means has closed.   Law firms, universities, businesses, the press, media, foundations, and individuals alike who have been deemed "insufficiently aligned" with the Administration's agenda, have been intimidated into submission by frivolous lawsuits, expe...

A MONTH IN JAPAN – TOKYO, NOVEMBER 5 - 6, 2025

November 5, 2025 – Shibuya, Daikanyama, and Shinjuku The Lonely Planet Pocket Guide to Tokyo  "Walk Shibuya" describes Shibuya. Thanks to its iconic intersection, Shibuya serves as a kind of visual shorthand for Tokyo in the global imagination.   The thrumming crowds, glowing lights and giant video screens that you associate with the city?   They’re all here – and turned up to the max.   Shibuya is a center for youth culture, and particularly fashion, music and nightlife; it’s among the best places in the city for clubbing [Me:  "Oh, to be 20 again!"], live music and shopping….To the west are the hip residential enclaves of Daikanyama and Naka-Meguro; these neighborhoods …can give you an alternative image of life in the capital – one that’s low-rise and low-key (but still very Tokyo).    Shibuya Station We took the Chiyoda Line from Nezu Station a few blocks from our apartment, transferred to the Hamzomon Line at Otemachi Station, and got off at ...

“I COULDN’T CARE LESS”

Two days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk, President Trump made a previously-scheduled appearance on Fox & Friends, where he announced the arrest of the gunman, which arrest he said had occurred just moments before.   As reported by ABC News , “ Trump was asked [by co-host Ainsley Earhardt] about the presence of radical individuals on both sides of the aisle and how it can be fixed to bring the country together. ”   You can watch the Fox & Friends clip here:   https://www.foxnews.com/video/6379207542112 . Here is a transcript of the exchange between Ms. Earhardt and the President: “Because we have radicals on the right as well. We have radicals on the left. People have gotten [sic] are watching all of these videos and cheering. Some people are cheering that Charlie was, was killed. How do we fix this country? How do we come back together?" co-host Ainsley Earhardt asked the president. "I'll tell you something that's going to get me in trouble, but...
