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

I FEEL THE EARTH MOVE UNDER MY FEET

  I feel the earth move under my feet I feel the sky tumbling down, tumbling down I just lose control Down to my very soul.                                     Carole King, 1971 This is a very personal post--about a very personal apocalypse, one quite different from the Biblical one imaged above. Carole King's words come to mind because they describe how I feel about this upside down, ass-backwards moment in time.   While there are good things happening in the world, their scale when compared to the bad things that are happening seems to me pitifully dwarfed.  When you look at this short list of events and trends, can you tell me what's right with this picture?  Do these items upset your even keel and threaten to drown you in pessimism?  Consider... Russia and Israel are killin...

THE BROLIGARCHS V. DEMOCRACY

Although not elected by the American people, the world’s wealthiest person, a South African businessman, is running the United States government with the blessing of its chief executive and without meaningful opposition from the legislature or definitive censure by the judiciary.   What is going on?   Has business trumped politics, and if so, doesn’t that raise an interesting question:        Is capitalism compatible with democracy? In pondering this, my research led me to an American billionaire; a German emeritus professor of political science at the Berlin Social Sciences Center; and a Dutch former member of the European Parliament, now a Fellow at the Stanford Cyber Policy Center, all of whom had quite a lot to say.     First, Peter Thiel, the billionaire. Peter Thiel’s Wiki bio says he co-founded PayPal with Elon Musk; he was the initial outside investor in Mark Zuckerberg’s Facebook; and he co-founded Palantir, the big-d...

NEW GAME, NEW RULES

Let me set the stage.   I am a U.S. citizen and a permanent resident of Germany.   In other words, I am an immigrant.   That status didn’t happen overnight and it didn’t come easily.   When we moved to Italy, it took me five years to convert my visa to a Permesso di Soggiorno.   When we subsequently moved to Germany, I had to surrender my Italian residency permit, and it took me another five years to obtain my Daueraufenthaltstitel .   In each country, I jumped through the hoops, produced the necessary documents, fulfilled the language requirements, attended the obligatory immigration appointments, paid my fees, didn’t attempt to work until I could do so legally, and counted the days.   In short, I respected the process and the law.   It has always been crystal clear to me that I live here at the discretion of the German government.   If I screw up, they can “ask” me to leave.   Therefore, I don’t have much sympathy for people who ju...
