Ungodly Hour Director's Cut Part 1...

OK, this storm’s been brewing for a while.  So it’s liable to be totally incoherent.
Thoughts and ideas are elusive creatures.  It’s difficult to fit them for cement shoes.
Which, I think, is why we have so much trouble with the concept of substance.  Thoughts, ideas, emotions are things of ether.  Bringing them into the physical diminishes them a bit.
The word bird, is not the bird itself.  The word is a symbol, a reflection.  The word is Plato’s cave.
So any word, regardless of where it supposedly came from, is not the thing itself.
I think we all need to remember that from time to time….

 

Oh for the presence of my Deary Departed.  This would have been a day of sitting over coffee, with something like ‘Art Of The Western World’ or old Loony Tunes Playing and the long conversation progressing.  He would have either made me explain the wild idea better or said something that would make the pieces click….



Left out here on my own, I have trouble finding words.
And when I find them they always seem… lacking.
But well…
There are words that readily spring to mind

Ungodly Hour
Divide & Conquer

These words have been reoccurring for a while.
Watching videos of the feeding frenzy that black Friday has become sent those rippling through my thoughts again.
The PTB have mastered Divide & Conquer.
And we are living in an Ungodly Hour.




 Interesting that they disabled the embedding on this video...


Seriously people, what would Jesus say about this sort of behavior in honor of his Birthday?








(Side note to the creator of the cartoon; I love this image, it’s got everything I need to illustrate the point.  I’ll be happy to give credit where credit is do with a citation.  If you have an objection to its use, please let me know and I'll change it
Rather interesting…)

Yes, Conservative Corporate Jesus would be cool with it.
But is it his birth keeping the Christ in Christmas?
Really?
If that’s the case you need to revise your calendar cuz Conservative Corporate Jesus was born in the 80s.  His father was Ronald Reagan.  His mothers in the unimmaculate conception are the whores of New York, Hollywood, and Washington.
He’s got a lot of Mothers.
Conservative Corporate Jesus is the spawn of Capitalism.  He was conceived in the 80’s with Gordon Gekko...








Conservative Corporate Jesus is the real life Buddy Christ, fully researched, branded, and market tested.  Brought to you by the makers of your gilded cage.




Conservative Corporate Jesus is a wedge in a split.

Cuz, for the last month and all the next, while we pay tribute to the Great Gods of Greed, Commerce, and the Corporate State, we will squabble among ourselves about what it is we are celebrating.

And fight like rabid dogs for the few cheap crumbs our betters throw out of the goodness of their hearts.

Where’s the charity and good will to men in black Friday?  The day that officially kicks off the celebration of Christmas.  How is it Christian to make people work on a holiday so you can buy some cheap ass TV?
If your God is truly present in this festive spirit you’ve missed the substance of the words.
And if you shopped yesterday or any time before 9am this morning you are a disciple of Conservative Corporate Jesus and I don't want to hear any hypocritical BS about how sacred and holy the season is....
