She looked good (looked good!)

She looked fine (looked fine!)

She looked good, she looked fine, and I nearly succumbed to mass formation psychosis and gave up all my liberties!

Catchy.

you might wanna go with "and she near brainwashed my mind" to keep the meter mr wesley.

Hey, just sticking to the meter exactly as much as public health experts stuck to their story. I'll take my promotion now.

Shooting low, Wesley.

In My mind I heard an echo of Oprah..

" You get a Nobel, and You get a Nobel , and YOU get a Nobel!"

She's not smart enough to actually brainwash anyone. And as Biden himself said, it's actually Jha that runs the CDC.

that nutcase who declared we have 2 arms one for covid one for flu shots? no wonder this country is in a disaster. The government consists of senile elderly and nutcases. In fact that is an insult to every box of walnuts

it was preachy for the dummies

something like God gave you two arms....

he stated afterwards that it was meant to be joking. It went the wrong way for me, just like Abrams comment about heartbeat. Things like these should not be said in public!

Expand full comment

That is indeed Jha. I believe he was joking, but it was still in poor taste.

Expand full comment

How about "she looked good, she looked fine, and for a time I lost my mind!" Applies to so many of us.

The deliberate breaking of the meter at the end is part of the comic effect.

Rolls right off the tongue

That 'dumb' picture could be just about any public official these days.

seems sort of apropos of this morning's post from the bad kitty, mr commander...

Expand full comment

Question gb? Do we have a following nickname? Also, when will bad kitty be taking my $$ for merch?

Expand full comment

Gatopals, I think.

Expand full comment

I figured this was gato's personal buddies? We've some very bright, very proactive minds here...I'd be honored to be a gatopal.

Expand full comment

Not sure. I just see EGM use it when he is referencing someone else's comments.

Expand full comment

True, but she REALLY does fit. So does that Wen woman.

Expand full comment

Could easily have been Kamala Harris, but Rachelle is much more apropos, even if Kamala's still better looking.

Expand full comment

Keep in mind that Kamala's penchant for repetition would mean her picture is actually 'read' as 'dumb dumb' which would completely throw off the lyrical masterpiece.

And really not gonna touch the latter part of that! :P

I dunno, whatever 'young, hip' vibe Kalama had during 2020, it's long gone. Take a look at this video:

You could label that one "sheeple."

It's the getting them all together for the group photo that's the tricky bit...

Expand full comment

Ha. Yup. Or it could be a picture of the entire world.

Very true!!!

That is true.

Expand full comment

Thank you for breaking that down Seriously 😂

Expand full comment

NOW I get it. I was feeling rather DUMB myself. The problem was identifying the guy.

Expand full comment

Yes that was my problem too. I’m only remotely familiar with even his name. As for facial recognition (instant or otherwise)...no, not at all.

P. Diddy could pass me on the street and I’d never know 😂😂

Expand full comment

Can't unsee or not recognize him again now 😅

Expand full comment

Never in a millions years...

I even listened to the song on youtube. Couldn't figure it out. I thought Diddy in the song was a clue, because that is also the name of a rapper. But I didn't know what the rapper looked like. So..

Expand full comment

The lyrics go "dumb" not "evil corrupt b... witch".

Expand full comment

Yes, I agree. I am sure she has a high IQ and is smart, but evil. There are a lot of very smart but evil people in the world and not so smart evil people too. There are also a lot of smart and good people, as well as, not as smart good people.

I’ll take a good person irrespective of their intelligence over an evil person without fail. Most importantly if in a leadership position.

Expand full comment

Your proofreading skills are superb.

Expand full comment

These are definitely not mutually exclusive!

Expand full comment

not a fan of calling ppl dumb but... I’m a bedside RN and id really love some smart ppl to riff on how and why so many MDs do seem to fit into the Mountain Dew song. Truth be told I’m in a state of profound heartbreak. I’m sure most of us are wading in and out of heartbreak. And hilarity. But seriously. What happened to MDs? How did they become deserving of this mockery?

Expand full comment

MD’s are deserving of a lot if I am asked. I have been in ICU twice in the past year for a total of 10 days (not Covid related). During those days, doctors almost killed me twice with their treatment! It was the RN’s caring for me that saved my life both times. I have my life thanks to them. Only in rare cases do doctors deserve my respect!

Expand full comment

Yep, a few years back the docs and ICU nearly killed my ex. It was only because I got one of the nurses to tell me that I was correct, she supported me and I needed to contact the patient advocate, that he received the proper treatment. Sadly, I've heard that with Covid this hasn't even worked and many lost loved ones because they could not get the hospital to provide the right care.

Expand full comment

Right on target.

Expand full comment

thanks - that was interesting!

Expand full comment

Yup! Same experience with me. I tend to trust nurses over the Doctors!

Expand full comment

Everyone should. I’ve worked in a hospital and saw a lot. Don’t go to doctors unless it’s absolutely necessary. Nurses at least know the patients and what they need instead of supporting Big Pharma. If you’re doing fine not on medicines, they’ll put you on something to screw you up, then prescribevten medicines to fix it.

Expand full comment

It's the same in all fields sadly - the matriculation of the 'everyone gets a trophy' generation(s). Can't wait for the 'equity' generation to take charge - that should complete our journey into medical lysenkoism!

Expand full comment

Yeah, it's gonna get pretty scary!

Expand full comment

When you're handsomely paid to be stupid, expect the best stupid that's humanly possible.

Expand full comment

Yup!

Expand full comment

I so get it (surrounded by clueless, dangerous people) - the system has made the highly educated (generally) into obedient-to-the-system, blind followers. Brainwashing works a treat!

Much respect to you being an RN - and one of those who are angels by the sounds of it. Guard your heart and soul - and may you have courage against the evil. Goodness itself is worth our struggle.

Expand full comment

That's easy to answer, they're just not as smart as we thought they were 😒

Expand full comment

You are correct, yet the nurses must follow their ill-advised orders.

So the crying emoji has been waaaah this whole time !???

Okay. This might be the pinnacle of your posting, over the last 2+ years! I bow to your true greatness. (This will not stop me from stealing and reposting, although I will credit you.)

Made my Friday......🤓

Take a minute? Maybe a few MICRO seconds, especially when we got to the "Dumb...."

cute!

Expand full comment

To be fair there are quite a few possible permutations for 'Diddy'...but you're right, the 'dumb' was really the tell!

Expand full comment

It was for me because I didn't recognize the man's photo (I am very culturally uneducated). I just saw the "Dumb" and the Mountain "Do/Dew" and it didn't take a genius to figure it from there :-) Of course I did figure out the Diddy but if that had been the only clue, I'd have been in trouble.
