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?

Can You Be His Friend?



Leon Berger - "The Grand Tinkerer of the Age of Reason"

This the story of a man making a better mouse trap, or possibly, rat trap would apply even better. A man who saw improvement in an everyday appliance could help liberate society.

The Olde Rusty Razor just wasn't getting the job done well enough in late 18th century France. A dull blade and a worn and frazzled channel after ten years of use could do an uncompleted job, and when the action is chopping off a head, that is not acceptable in Revolution management. The decent thing in class war is a clean cut.

After the Republic was established and the Patent Office opened, drawings were presented for approval for manufacture. Helping gravity do the job more efficiently, the guillotine now called for ball bearing glides, grease fittings, self sharpening blades, and block and tackle lifting design for ease. Leon Berger had a better idea.

As the call goes out to reestablish French Revolutionary justice, let's not forget the man who saw an oppurtunity to speed up the line. Let's give him his due.

Are there more friends of Leon Berger out there?
