Andrea - Call Me!


August 20, 2020
Obama's DNC speech was vicious, dishonest, and mostly about Obama

... Obama continued, saying Trump has

"shown no interest in putting in the work; no interest in finding common ground; no interest in using the awesome power of his office to help anyone but himself and his friends; no interest in treating the presidency as anything but one more reality show that he can use to get the attention he craves."

Without irony, Obama was describing himself. He was a famously lazy president, compared to the Trump dynamo, he massively enriched those close to him (especially Biden), and he used the presidency as a chance to rock with rappers and take exotic trips.

Biden’s speech managed to be simultaneously vapid and disgraceful

The obvious question, of course, is that if Biden has the secret to making all those wonders take place, why didn’t he tell Obama during their time together? And even before that, why didn’t he share those ideas with the Senate? He mostly seems to have spent his time there creating a law that locked up black fathers, attacking a black Supreme Court candidate, and fighting desegregation.

And to make all the above wonders happen, Biden says that he’ll end Trump’s tax cuts. That should be popular.

Chicago’s mayor makes it clear some animals are more equal than others

One has to give Lightfoot points for her honesty: She’s not shy about letting her citizens know that she matters more than they do. At a certain point, you can’t even blame her for this. After all, Chicago citizens, like urban residents over large parts of America, keep promoting open hypocrites like Lightfoot to positions of power. If the voters don’t care that they’re turning themselves into second-class animals, why should the politicians be shy about showing off their first-class-animal status?

BUNNY HUTCH


BUNNY HUTCH


THE FRIGHTENED BUNNY IN HIS SELF SEALING HUTCH 

BELIEVES IN THE FARMER, THE FIELD NOT SO MUCH 

HE’S SAFE THERE, HE THINKS, SAFE AND SECURE 

UNTIL THE FARMER NEEDS MEAT OR THE FARMER NEEDS FUR 

... THE FRIGHTENED LITTLE BUNNY



A CHICKEN LIVES A THOUSAND DAYS 

THE BENEVOLENT FARMER GETS THEM FAT 

NO ONE IS MORE SURPRISED 

THAN THE CHICKEN WHEN THAT CHICKEN

GETS THE AXE.

.... THE LITTLE FAT CHICKEN



THEN THERE IS BOXER, THE DUTIFUL HORSE 

GOING TO BUILD THE WINDMILL BY BRUTE FORCE

IT STANDS UNFINISHED, A PILE OF STONES 

THE WAGON CAME AND TOOK HIM, HE DIED ALONE

... BOXER, THE DUTIFUL HORSE


 HOGS ON THEIR WAY TO THE SLAUGHTERHOUSE 

ARE NOT A PRETTY SIGHT 

THE SOUNDS THEY EMIT WILL CURL YOU HAIR 

THE 21ST CENTURY HUMAN IS BEING CULLED, 

QUIETLY, VOLUNTEERING, WITHOUT A WORRY OR A CARE

... HOGS TO THE SLAUGHTER



FRIGHTENED LITTLE HUMANS SAFE IN THEIR HUTCH

THEY LOVE THE GOVERNMENT, PEOPLE NOT SO MUCH

THEIR WORK STANDS UNFINISHED, A SQUEAL AND A THUD 

DIDN'T SEE IT COMING, FACE DOWN IN THE MUD

...THE FRIGHTENED, FAT, DUTIFUL, STUPID HUMAN

Some Are More Equal



Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,

Beasts of every land and clime,

Hearken to my joyful tidings

Of the golden future time.


Soon or late the day is coming,

Tyrant Man shall be o'erthrown,

And the fruitful fields of England

Shall be trod by beasts alone.


Rings shall vanish from our noses,

And the harness from our back,

Bit and spur shall rust forever,

Cruel whips no more shall crack.


Riches more than mind can picture,

Wheat and barley, oats and hay,

Clover, beans, and mangel-wurzels

Shall be ours upon the day.


Bright will shine the fields of England,

Purer shall its waters be,

Sweeter yet shall blow its breezes

On the day that sets us free.


For that day we all must labour,

Though we die before it break;

Cows and horses, geese and turkeys,

All must toil for freedom's sake.


Beasts of England, beasts of Ireland,

Beasts of every land and clime,

Hearken well and spread my tidings

Of the golden future time.

-Animal Farm, George Orwell
