An old joke my uncle told me: How do you scare Unitarians out of your neighborhood? Answer: You burn a question mark on their lawn. Great comparison between the UU and the Dems. They're so "for" everything that they can't get focused enough where it really matters. More sadly NOW Now that the US government has printed itself a license to kill ANYONE that disagrees with them, as of this writing no arrest for Renee and none planned. The message is clear: We can take you out anytime we want and no one will be held accountable. I quite agree with you on Christmas and I've always found it excruciating --an onerous social burden and always filled with the gutter wash of unfulfilled expectations all while smiling in your uncomfortable shoes and holding something in your hand for someone to prove that you're not a complete Leibnizian monad. I was and AM always happy to see it in the rearview mirror. Fuck Santa and Fuck Jesus --both fictional characters that make our lives miserable. But what a double hell hole you tell about here! Christmas inside the festering white underbelly of Middle America. Like being fucked by a Walmart greeter while getting your teeth drilled. My apologies for all the F words here but I really can't think of a better Anglo Saxon word and Latinate words just do not delivery the goods.

We should definitely be friends… I’ve been saying for over a year now that there’s only two types of people in this country those who can see, and those who can not-see… I didn’t know anybody else was doing that… I come from a family a lot like yours… I’ve got very similar trauma… And I’ve got a serious vendetta with the CRC myself living in Ottawa County Michigan. I feel like I’m in the hub of it… Makes me wonder if they infiltrated the Catholic Church and drained its coffers by sending in their pedophiles to go to seminary school and become priests…. Anyways, can we please be friends… I didn’t know anybody else thought exactly like me.

OMG this is so hilarious!

Damn, I can relate, I grew up in a suburb of Mpls, raised Baptist. And yeah, they are all republican and WHITE and I too now live in the SF Bay Area.

I'll pass on the O Holy Night video - worried the song will get stuck in my brain!!!

Glad you had a rootin' tootin' good time visiting West MI, Lorinda! The Wesco never disappoints am I right? Cheap booze and nary a vegetable in sight. Can't wait for getting paid to take my meds - score! 2026 is going to be awesome - one for the ages 😉

Lorinda, I am always astounded by your videos. Excruciating is the best adjective to describe that version of “O Holy Night”. I can’t imagine where you found it but I CAN imagine your glee when you did. Ending your piece with bean prep was a stroke of delight. I might not give it a try because our furnace is kaput and opening windows to fumigate would be ill advised is this wintery weather.
