TWO CHEEKS OF THE SAME ARSE*

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen!  Welcome to the Big Top at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, Washington, DC, home of the 2024 Narcissist Games!  

This presidential election year, we have a really special show for you:   

Two Cheeks of the Same Arse!

On the left cheek above and pictured below, is Mr. I Alone Can Win It!

And on the right cheek above and pictured below, is Mr. I Alone Can Fix It! 

We’ve got a really great 119 days of sheer fun lined up for you, folks!  Here are just a few of the exciting events you can count on: 

  • Watch the candidates toss word salads at each other from their clown cars!
         


           

           

  •     Thrill to the sight of each taking a selfish!       

  • Experience your very own disorienting sense of déjà vu!         

  • Feel the dread and fear the win!

Folks, you’ve never seen anything like this before:  Two old geezers dancing cheek to cheek to music only their hearing aids can hear.  

Don’t miss a front row seat to the asinine spectacle of a lifetime the whole world will be watching!


(Complimentary sick/trash bag with every viewing.)

Keep it real!

    "All we have to do to beat the grim reaper is to keep moving." These two duffers deserve to retire to the golf course, together. Nobody wants to watch this tired rerun. "When the people lead, the leaders will follow."

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...
