Rarely am I inspired by a one-word prompt. Then again, rarely does one word so aptly describe how life feels lately.
FARCE
What I have to say matters.
(Lie)
Politicians feign concern during election years and then they strip health care exposing the bones of their conscience.
Diseased carcasses wearing red, white, and blue lies.
If I could, I would curse them:
May syphilitic crabs feast on your crotch rot!
May you feel karma’s sweet kiss leaving you unprotected from your policies.
May you be forced to live the life of your poorest constituent.
May the bullet of public opinion find its target and kill your self-serving aspirations.
May curses come true.
FARCE*

Couldn’t agree more.
I sent a thank you email to my Republican Representative, who was one of a handful of them that voted no on the AHCA.

I’m more inclined to chant omens of doom beneath a blood moon hoping the evil doers pay. But your way sounds healthier.

It’s probably a good thing they don’t, otherwise, I’d be causing cars to burst into flames on the highway, I hate driving behind people who obey the speed limits.

I have not “heard” syphilitic used that way since my dad died. It was one of his favorite adjectives for embellishing curses, though I think it was ill-advised of him to call my brother the “son of a syphilitic camel” as that could reflect badly on my dad. Poor planning… Great curses.

I have a friend who says Son of a syphilitic sea cock! 😛

Nice friend. Though I have to wonder…what exactly is a sea cock?? One belonging to a sailor? Probably named ‘Johnson.’

I am in immediate sympathy with your father and his curses that just might rebound badly on their sender. I am fairly sure I have managed to insult my own intelligence at times when my tongue tripped trying to spit invectives. I am not my most fluent when at my angriest.

Not grammar — he also called my brother the BASTARD son of a syphilitic camel thereby calling my mom a whore as well and calling himself a cuckold. But maybe father knew best… :p

I’m tempted to shout the blind and unspecific phrase “Merica!” But there should be an intellectual equivalent to the catchphrase of blind patriotism of bigoted, racist, Neolithic reactionaries who use that phrase without irony.
Shouting ‘Reason’ or ‘Logic’ in response doesn’t seem to have the same gravitas. Perhaps it because reason and logic do not rely on out-shouting one’s opponent?

Good observation. I’m not opposed to a lil “Merica” now and again… but you’re so right, “Common Decency!” isn’t exactly an inspiring call. I love shouting, do it all the time, but it’s more effective with fewer words.

Ha… I cannot even understand how it can be questioned that you should get treatment if you are sick… actually even in most developing countries this is a given…
