Atomic Monster Cafe: Did You Hear That?

That was the sound of "the last best hope of earth"...being flushed down the toilet.

And no, I won't give in to the temptation to include a picture of a toilet here...looking up Pelosi, Schumer, Schiff, McConnell, Romney and Graham will serve the same purpose.

After Republican state legislatures across the land abdicated their duty, it was left to our Senators and Congressman - those battle scarred veterans of the DC Swamp, those men and women with backbones of steel -

- to show their true mettle, to stand up for what's right and finally stop the disenfranchisement of 75 million voters and the biggest theft in political history!

Did they?

"Santa Claus and an honest politician were walking down the street and spotted a 20 dollar bill on the sidewalk.

"Who picked it up?

"Santa Claus, of course. Everyone knows there's no such thing as an honest politician."

C'mon, get serious.

O a few of them stood up and made pretty speeches, gestured enthusiastically, spoke eloquently in measured tones about faith and duty and electoral integrity.

But when the shouting was done it was the same ol' story in this fight for love and glory, and guess who got screwed in the end?

And what more fitting memorial to the destruction of our constitutional republic could there be than the sight of our brave VP giving an elbow bump to the Wicked Witch of the West herself when the dirty deed was a fait accompli...

If you're one of those who thinks this is about Trump v Biden, or Republican v Democrat, you have my condolences because you're already collateral damage in the war for our nation's soul.

"First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.

Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me."

- Martin Niemöller

Substitute "conservatives" for "socialists" above, then re-read it and figure out when it will be your turn in this descent into totalitarianism.

Behold the perfect illustration of the brave new world in which we live: the recent "prayer" - and here I use the word in the loosest possible interpretation - by Missouri congressman Emmanuel Cleaver:

In what must surely be the apotheosis of woke ideology, I present the bizarre ending stanza of his theological masterpiece:

"And dare I ask, oh Lord, peace even in this chamber now and evermore.

"We ask it in the name of the monotheistic god, Brahma, and god known by many names by many different faiths.

"Amen and awoman."

He obviously has no idea to whom he's praying - he just throws out a few titles in the hope he's not offending anyone - so let's ignore for a moment the puerile and insipid content of whatever that tripe was.

Instead, focus on the closing:

Amen and awoman.

Amen is the latin form of the hebrew word that simply means "yes" or "it is so". It is an affirmation, a term of agreement.

It obviously has nothing to do with gender. Any third grader could tell you that.

So the idea that we should scour arrangements of letters in various languages looking for English trigger words like "men" so we can quickly apply our handy dandy inclusive antidote before the poison infects susceptible minds is, in a word, INSANE.

Omnibus is a latin word that means "for all". You may have heard it used in the common phrase "Non sibi sed omnibus" (not for self, but for all).

Following Congressman Cleaver's brilliant example, we quickly scan the word omnibus...hey, waaaaaiit a minute...isn't that the trigger word "bus"?

What if some people don't like riding on a bus?

We must right this narrow minded wrong!

From now on if we use the word omnibus we must also include omnitruck or omnicar or perhaps more in keeping with a mode of transportation that matches CC's intellectual abilities, omnitricycle.
