Instrumental . . .

. . . version of Ace of Hearts.  The lyrics are here should you feel the desire to sing along.


When I see that look upon your face
I know that I’ve been dealt an ace of hearts.
Something starts.
Pulse is pounding like a conga drum.
The blood goes rushing to and from my head,
Turns my face to red.

So ante-up and hit me once then hit me twice.
The stakes are high. 
You know I’ve got to keep as cool as ice.
This game we’re in together
Could end as quickly as it starts.
But I’ll just take my chances.
I’ll just take my chances
Cause I know that I have you
And you’re my . . . 
Ace of hearts.
I know that I have you and you’re my 
Ace of hearts.

Deal me in I’m staying for the course
And if I lose don’t feel remorse for me.
You will always be
In my every breath and in my soul.
When chips are down you take control and then
Bring me back again.

To Whom . . .

. . . it may concern . . . 

(from Trumpocalypse: Restoring American Democracy by David From)
". . . Trump promised to raise taxes on rich people and to use the money to build roads and bridges. He denounced foreign wars and promised a foreign policy of nonintervention. He excoriated the trade deals you blamed for taking away your jobs. Maybe above all . . . he talked like you and like people you knew. . . Trump did cut taxes for the rich, and saying he would raise them. He did take away the health coverage of millions of people - and tried and failed to take away the coverage of millions more The roads and bridges never bot built. NAFTA's still there in all but name, but a new washing machine costs almost $100 more at Walmart because of Trump's tariffs on imports from China, South Korea, and other trading partners. . ."
 

P.S. I Love You

Deluded . . .


Not alluded, 
Not colluded,
Not concluded, 
Not denuded,
Not disbudded, 
Not eluded, 
Not excluded, 
Not extruded, 
Not exuded, 
Not illuded, 
Not included,
Not intruded, 
Not obtruded, 
Not occluded, 
Not precluded, 
Not preluded, 
Not protruded, 
Not retruded, 
Not secluded, 
Not subtruded, 
Not transuded, 
It's Deluded.

Critical . . .


(from Unthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy by Jamie Raskin )
". . . Donald Trump's outrageous lies about the 2020 election mirror the basic form of the Lost Cause myth. According to Trump, he won a landslide victory, but it was stolen from him and from his noble long-suffering supporters after he valiantly led the country to record prosperity and well-being - a claim that conveniently omits the tens of millions of people who lost their jobs and the hundreds of thousands who lost their lives under his administration's lethally reckless mismanagement of the COVID-19 pandemic. . . The lie that Republicans promoted that Trump and his mob were themselves working to stop an election from being stolen is merely propaganda designed to justify the new wave of vote-suppressing legislation the GOP is trying to pass all over the country. That's why the work of the Select Committee to investigate the January 6th Attack, and how we as a country interpret and act upon the committee's findings, becomes such a critical test for us. If we cannot get the past right, we will get future all wrong. . . "

Get It Right

Of Coffee, Sugar, Etc. . .


Just when I thought my little 
Empire would never be conquered.
I was invincible. 
Went from the frying pan
Right into the fire.
Now I don’t care at all.
I’m one smooth operator,
But standing two feet tall;
Was like some great dictator.

Damn the coffee. 
Damn the sugar. 
Damn the colonies.
Where’s my future?
What awaits me?
I don’t want to be
Napoleon of broken dreams.

So when I got myself
A taste of that glorious power.
It was intoxicating.
The more I took became
The more that I wanted. 
But soon the thrill was gone.
Wanted to meet my maker.
I’ll pay for what I’ve done 
Just like that great dictator.

Could be people like me
Should be alone.
Nothing is ever enough;
Enough for this eccentricity.

It’s said, by nature, that a
Man can become territorial.
And I’ve been known to do it.
Simple offense became 
An outright obsession.
I got my just desserts.
Maybe I’ll see you later.
But still it could be worse
Just like that great dictator.
