Politics for Poets

What are the odds?

The same candidate was reported to have won 6 of 6 separate coin tosses. Astronomical. She's the luckiest gal in the world. Oh, am I being derisive to call her a 'gal'? What other words that men used to commonly use to refer to women have been basically banned from the dialectic by fussy dialectical imperialists (with their stock outrage)?

I get it: don't use mean words that deride. But 6 of 6 separate coin tosses? What are the odds? If my mind remembers, it would be 2^6 (two to the sixth). So the odds that the luckiest gal in the world would win 6 tosses of 6? 1 in 64. What a lucky broad, dame, chick, chica, female, woman, wife, enabler?

Even the rules the statistics don't seem to apply to that gal.

In politics, astronomical odds bring a sense of fraud. If the tosses are broken into an even spread . . . the results of the caucus are different. In the media a 'win' has been declared. Maybe 'tie' is a better way to describe the results.

As far as words to describe women? As we use words for our own purposes, we may not have full awareness of their effect. Some feign grievance as a way to bully for the upper hand (politically).

And if there are bully-girls around, we take the consequences. If we actually do criminal things, or act in an impolite way, then we face consequences for that too. If we use these words in 'social media', we find very little decorum in some sectors of it. And in comment's sections? In very many Internet places, where reasonable posts display skepticism and opposition to group-think conformism, the mirroring effect of spam-bot processes fill the web-pages with a snark fest of racial, ethnic, and partisan hatreds and feuding. Don't believe the hate and you are much better off.

Banning words is a bad idea. Banning hatred? It's impossible. And mean. And unreasonable. As far as words go, in politics, there better be a real reason to get upset if words turn into derision. In the sense of describing a self-important, self-entitled enabler narcissist, and words that are banned by the liberal thugocracy of controlling manners, that hushing thing that beast-bot people do, when they breasticulate1 for 'muscle' to 'shut-up' their opposition.

They dig the pit. They put the opposition in it. Or they bully people to go there. And so, when people stand up to the bully, and the mob that the bully has under her/his/? sway, and dares speak sense, and truth, and demand that their rights not be violated, when that happens, the bullies wilt in fear for their tenure.

we are at a cusp where bad choices needed to be diminished. 1 in 32. That's really great to win that bet. But it makes any 'win' a lot less authentic.

As far as if or if not the prosecutors finally get to make her face a judge and jury? What happens to her demonstrates the level of corruption which her-folk use as a bedrock. If it shows her to be beyond prosecution, even for serious breeches, then it shows her not as a person who believes in equality, be it between men and women or women and people who we don't know their gender, or men and those, who we don't now their gender. If equality if really what is going on then the result of her behaviors should bring her to have to make account before judges and with a prosecutorial regime that is just about what they do to any one else who does the same things.

The unfair use of the judicial system is also a form of tyranny. In this case we have audacious political apparatchiks who believe themselves a separate class, with their own set of rules. As citizens we ought to be outraged. And when we are we get that bully-girl thing: "how dare you use those words." And it usually is a woman. Or a person who we just don't know . . . what they are . . . that becomes this ugly bully, spitting hateful words at us and accusing us of being . . . dare I say it . . . Republicans. As if.

And what happens to her shows us what the view is from the people currently squatting in the chairs of power.

I don't think prison would be a good place for a grand mother. But I'm not the one who gets to decide. If it were me I'd make a deal with her: get her to stop it all and step down to allow some other apparatchik to take the mantle of power. The Democrats need someone to wear their god-head mask, and it ought to be someone who hasn't so egregiously and obviously violated national security through what appear to be lax and criminal practices.

And as far as justice goes, it ought not be a coin-toss. That is also a very bad way to choose a candidate.

worry not. The tiniest seed becomes a giant tree.

Believe in the Power Of God!

  John Cleese
  speaks sense about joyless
  political-speach conformism.
  It's worth looking for his comments 
  posted yesterday in a lot of different
  web locations.
  Yay for Mr. Cleese.

Monty Python's humor, always appealing, gave a quick study into kindness of ribaldry. Those gentlemen (and the women around them,"Would you like to come up-stairs?" dissected the genres of British media, and made hard-truth commentary within the dream-space of comedy. In the tradition of surrealism, and acid-rock, they deconstructed genre after genre of mind-mush media, and concocted mayhem of flaying of assumptions, blow-whistle quality slapstick coupled with a full understanding of the modern conundrums of political and sociological elitism. Harrumph!

I had to stop to blow my nose. Well not really.

The thing about cutting-edge stuff is that, years later, in hindsight, it might not seem that way. So many other comedians have mirrored the humor that Monty Python made, for a very long time, and that makes it seem prototypical. Like listening to a cut of Atomic Dog from Mr. George Clinton in a raw early version. It's really very skimpy in some sense. But skimpy means that you can imply other things, build a montage on top of it. In the case of George Clinton (I've divigated) "woof, bow wow, yippy yo, yippy yay. " He laid down the beat and the sound and let's the world dance up a storm.

Monty Python? They left us laughing. They left us thinking. They did things with the comedy that was revolutionary in some sense, but completely within the comedic tradition: flay the fallacies of those locked within them, so that they feel good about becoming aware of how they drop turds on the heads of others with their ways and demands. Show them the turds-thought behaviors and help them to clean it up. Make them be kind by realizing their ridiculous. Well, not 'make them be', let them be.

Mr. Cleese is correct is saying that comedy is not supposed to be politically correct, and that political correctness is the death of comedy. But I'm not quoting him directly. It benefits students of comedy to study Monty Python. Also, listen to what Mr. Cleese says about the modern college campus. It's too bad that Mr. Cleese isn't a professor at a university teaching his view of comedy. But he's out doing it, for real, and traveling the world in the meantime. Sounds like a lot of fun? Or a long, grueling road home.

History shows us that comedians and actors often have to face political clampdowns by powerful lobby interests of power. These shady groups demand order, and do not understand that the chaos of a production is not supposed to be easily cataloged with some base and stock 'on message' meaning. Double entendre, and the alternative meanings of homophonic phrases: phrases that sound the same but mean totally different things, are designed to give maximum humor. Worrying about offending a touchy political class results in very poor humor.

Fortunately Mr. Cleese doesn't need to go to college anymore. And it's sad that he fears doing his work there (his act). but I think maybe colleges are a lot more open-minded than he knows. He ought to go and shake it up a bit, at a college, and ruffle some academic feathers. Maybe he can do a Fish called Wanda type of humor only set it at a college? There is a lot there to satirize.

The best way to describe Monty Python's humor? With long winded sentences of extreme sycophancy.

What they claim is good
 for 'the environment' 
   really sucks 
  for the forest.
