I suspect the rehab part is true.

A drunk I am guessing

I got called a name today,

As I'm still in rehab and will be having a quiet day. I bought 3 doz cookies for staff here, and had them delivered.
It's just how I was raised, Mom always said, " take care of those who care for you".
Anyway, staff is coming in and thanking me, one nurse said,
" You got a be a Democrat"
I just said, " a proud one!"

Merry Christmas from

Koz, on the mend.

So This Is Christmas — and What Have Celebrities Actually Done?

https://instapundit.com/763976/

To be sure, faith is no guarantee of a refuge from the evil that men do. Evil is also committed in the name of faith and by those who think they were/are on a mission from God. The Islamic Republic of Iran has been doing this since 1979, as one modern example.

However, it’s an analytical stretch that requires undue faith in the innate goodness of the religiously naked ape to believe atheism and atheist states will be any different from others who have complete power in a state. It’s an error to think that atheism will somehow thus serve as a peaceful refuge from humanity’s worst impulses. To believe this is to assume that religion — and not concentrated power — is the main problem in human affairs.

See China’s Xi Jinping today as the latest atheist incarnation of John Lennon’s imagined state and its consequences: a man on a mission for himself, who will run roughshod over his own population and others who want nothing to do with his view of how we should live. Xi’s repression is already obvious in China and in Hong Kong, and if he ever gets the chance, in Taiwan.

The same vapidity is evident in “Happy Xmas.” Its most famous line opens the song, and lodges in my cranium without asking permission: “And so this is Christmas/And what have you done?” Those ten words have enough hubris to inflate the Hindenburg. It’s as if ordinary folk somehow should justify themselves to a 1960s–1970s rock star consumed by self and by error, as in his musical worship of anti-religious belief and consequences.

The easy response from normal people to two celebrities who, by 1971, had been writing songs and giving interviews from their bedroom decked out in pajamas can be imagined as follows, perhaps from a single mom: “Oh, I don’t know, John — I’ve been raising three kids, caring for my aged Mom, and working double-shifts at the coffee shop to pay the bills. You?”

Other responses to imagine: From a Second World War veteran: “I fought my way on to Omaha Beach and survived D-Day — and the rest of the war, but many of my friends did not. We beat the Nazis, which is what mattered even more despite the sacrifices.”

Or imagine the response from a steelworker, miner, or farmer: “Endured another grinding day at the foundry/shaft/farm, this to afford the mortgage and Christmas presents.”
...
In one of his last interviews, Lennon would finally admit, “I dabbled in politics in the late 1960s and 1970s, more out of guilt than anything. Guilt for being rich and guilt thinking that perhaps love and peace isn’t enough and you have to go and get shot or something, or get punched in the face to prove I’m one of the people. I was doing it against my instincts.”

Maybe John came to know better, probably partially, but his unrecognized detachment for normal-people reality, his guilt-feelings for being rich, and mental elitism are probably shared by many entertainment industry denizens.

They somehow screwed up selling oil? That's impressive.

Might as well toss this in here, for no good reason...

New Photos Reveal Epstein Had A Sick Fetish For Girls With Giant Black Squares For Heads



WASHINGTON, D.C. — After the latest batch of Epstein files was released by the Department of Justice, it has become evident to everyone that Jeffrey Epstein, along with being a vile sex trafficker, had some sick fetish for girls with giant black square heads.

"It's disgusting," Attorney General Pam Bondi said. "But you wanted us to release the files, so here you go. Now you get to see how obsessed he was with black square heads, too. Be careful what you wish for."

In nearly every released photo, girls with black square heads are seen posing with Epstein and others. And though the pictures at first looked fake, the DoJ assures the public they are quite real.

"Where do you even find a girl with a giant black square for a head?" said one confused citizen. "I've never seen such a woman, and it doesn't strike me as particularly attractive."

Psychiatrists say Epstein's bizarre fixation on girls with black square heads could stem from a childhood fixation on his mother, who may also have had a black square head. "That would explain everything," said psychology expert Dr. Fredrick Sreud to reporters. "But now, we'll never know. Because, you know, he totally killed himself."

Whatever the source of Epstein's perverted desires, it should have been clear to those around him that he was disturbed.

At publishing time, Bill Clinton denied having sexual relations with any black square-headed people.

Hey, it could BEE true!
