The thoughts & Musings of Christopher F. Reidy*

PRE-NOTE NOTE: I assume that most images on the web are "fair use."  I will try my best to credit artists, writers, photographers etc. when I use material that is not mine. If I receive notification to remove any material I have used improperly, well, then, I certainly will!

NOTE: Apparently this webpage has some glitches. It tends to randomly switch out visual material.  Why?  Don't ask me.  So, if a pic doesn't match the text...it doesn't!  Rest assured I am trying to amend this problem.  When I get around to it.

*(may contain misuse of apostrophes, miss spellings, overabundance of semi-colons,  wrong word usage, MAJOR AMOUNT OF UNFOOTNOTED ASTERISKS, UNCLOSED PARENTHESES AND UNCLOSED QUOTATION MARKS, etc.
I will make every attempt to correct mistakes if and when they come to my attention.

​ALSO: 
Please find an in-complete (or if you prefer; "ongoing") index of blog posts on the homepage, for your convenience!

AND YET ANOTHER NOTE:
The visual switcheroos on these blogs have reached a point where there's no way I can correct them all, so I'm just going to leave them be. (Actually, I am now slowly working on this!)  If they don't match the text, just think of them as whimsical funsies decorating the text.  I will continue to supply pictures; but I cannot guarantee their context: much like my mind.
Thank you for your patience!

A FURTHER NOTE:
I try to keep this website relatively free of anything truly morally reprehensible or obscene.  However, in the pursuit of honesty; I will be quite frank about sexuality; as I feel one should be.  To  wit: this website is not for children.  It is decidedly "adult"; although not necessarily not "childish."  I do not feel it is suitable, in some instances, for anyone below the age of 17.  Or maybe a very mature 16...or 15 even.  
THIS WEBSITE IS RATED: PG-15
I suppose this site is NSFW in some cases; and in that case, I would say it is up to the viewer to determine that.  I will supply extra warning if I think something might be a bit too ribald for The Great American Office.

Manifesto Destiny...

I have never been a very political person.  In fact, I can't recall a single lesson in Civics during my education from kindergarten (German word, take note) through my senior year of college.  My basic knowledge of how our government works at every level was woefully lacking.  I've learned a great deal from my husband since we've been together.  In fact, all of it.  However, for the past ten years or so, I think we've all been getting the Civics education none of us ever wanted.  We've been watching in real time as our government has been put through it's paces--at a pace that is rapidly escalating as well--by people who are actively looking for ways to circumvent our laws, while at the same time proclaiming our system is predicated on THE RULE OF LAW.  It's rather like putting the fox in charge of the chicken egg incubator.
When we think of the term "manifesto," I don't think most of us think of it in a positive light.  I think we think about people like this:
Which makes me think the authors of the Project 2025 MANDATE for America, chose that word mandate because it's not "manifesto," which this "document" surely is.  We've been hearing a lot about "Project 2025" but how many of us have actually read it?  Or seen it, even?  Like, this is a plan for AMERICA.  So, like, shouldn't it have been made readily available to ALL AMERICANS?  As far as I know, it wasn't.  So I got curious.  I wanted to see this "document" that is/has/is going to/will probably affect my life; and the lives of all my FELLOW AMERICANS.
And I found it.  It's readily available for a perusal, at you convenience.  I mean, you can't say "they" aren't spelling all of this out for us.  The title of Section 1 of the manifesto (I will be calling it that) is entitled: ​TAKING THE REINS OF GOVERNMENT. Here's a link:
static.heritage.org/project2025/2025_MandateForLeadership_FULL.pdf
It's some 900 pages.  I can't promise I'll read every word; but I have to say, it's certainly cogently laid out.  Now, the thing about a document, one that is rather mysterious and not being put forth to the general public, is that it becomes amorphous.  If you don't have the tangible, physical thing in your hands it becomes an idea.  And ideas can evaporate.  Things can become lost to the mists of time.  Nazi Germany becomes an idea.  A concept.  A Hollywood entertainment. But when you see these things if not in 3-D in your hands, then at least in a photograph; some of the immediacy comes back:
Picture
Now, I can look at Project 2025/ Mandate for America online.  I can download it and look at it at my convenience.  But reading a document via scrolling is a hassle.  It's not the same as a book.  You're more than likely to click off and not click back on with a computerized document.  It's not the same as a book, which you can put down and pick up again and again at your leisure.  And who's going to print out 900 pages and waste all that printer ink?  I think The Heritage Foundation knows this.  I want a hard copy.  So, I went to their website; figuring I could procure a copy gratis; as I would think that if they are wanting to implement this "vision" for America, they would gladly put it out there, for all to have.  I found a softcover version of the tome on The Heritage Foundation website.  Gratis?  Nope.  Guess how much they want for it.  Go ahead, guess.  I'll wait...
Picture
And that's for the paperback!  So affordable for ALL AMERICANS!

​Which brings us to Kevin.  Yes, we need to talk about Kevin...
Picture
Okay, so here's the thing...
I don't know about you, but I have no intention of living my life under the "guidance" of someone named FUCKING
                       KEVIN
Do you remember back in the day; in the first seasons of Saturday Night Live, whenever someone sent in a letter in the context of a sketch; in order to put forth in a comedic way, the toolishness of the letter writer; that their name was invariably "Kevin"?  Like, the "What If...?" TV show sketch that was hosted by Jane Curtin.  She said something like, "Like all our letters, this one is from Kevin, so and so of like, Poughkeepsie, New York."  Kevins were geeks.  It was the go-to nebbish name.  Sure, there are some great Kevins.  Kevin Bacon is beloved, even though he spawned that stupid game:
Picture
CR
It's not strange to me!  This is one Kevin I might actually be able to live under the guidance of.  Otherwise...not so much.
Let's rate some Kevins on the TOOL scale!

1. Totally NOT a tool.  Actually knows how to use tools.
2. Has their toolish moments
3. A tool most of the time; but has non-toolish moments more frequently.
4. Pretty much a tool most of the time.
5. Tool.
6. Total tool.
7. Complete and total tool.
8. Never not a tool.
9. Tool stuck up someone's ass.
10. Gives tools a bad name.
11. So far beyond a tool that they're an Anti-Matter Tool


Kevin Glover:
Picture
He's a 1.  So nice he actually hired me once, had to fire me and then rehired me.
​
Kevin Nealon:
Now, Kevin Nealon gets "tool status" because when he's on Match Game he doesn't seem to take the proceedings seriously enough.  He's not the only one.  Look, "celeb"; you're there to try and help the contestants win money.  You're not there to act like an ass and give deliberately stupid answers because you're trying to be funny and/or "cute."  Take it seriously.  You may not need the money; but Mrs. Sandra Ferguson, home-maker from Chico, probably does.  So put down the cocktail and play the game right.  Yeah, I'm talking to you Kevin Nealon.  But since you've made me laugh in the past and I think you're a really talented artist; you get a lower tool score.  You're a 1 1/2 on the scale.
Picture
Kevin Costner:
Made a three hour movie where this was his costume:
Picture
A 3.  Would've been higher; but he was in JFK, which is one of my favorite movies, so he get's a pass.
Kevin Spacey:
​
Picture
He's an 8.  He's confused personal arrogance with charisma.  Did he not learn anything from his "mentor" Jack Lemmon?  He was, however, nearly railroaded by that family on Nantucket(!) and IMHO was #metooed more severely due to homophobia.  Otherwise, he might rank higher.
Picture
Kevin Hart:
He just can't seem to make up his mind about Queer folks.  And I just gotta go: Things that make you go hmmmmm when I ponder why a "straight" married man, with a bunch of children, who ostensibly can "let themselves go" a little, keeps himself this jacked:
Picture
Due to his apparent confusion, I will give him a lower score with a 3.5
​Kevin McCallister:
Picture
This kid is an eleven.  Maybe even a 12.  "...he's got black eyes...like a doll's eyes..when he comes at ya, he doesn't even seem to be livin'"

                    AND ANOTHER THING!
What the fuck is going on with all of these CUT RATE BLOFELD'S running around everywhere in our sacred halls of Democracy? 
WE REALLY NEED TO FIND A CURE FOR MALE PATTERN BALDNESS BEFORE IT          DESTROYS OUR WAY OF LIFE!
​
​But let's make this fun! Can you name to whom the following EVIL GOURDS belong?  (Answers below...)
Picture
See if you can crack the quiz...and crack open these receptacles of NEFARIOUSNESS!
Picture
Picture
That's Kevin Roberts, above.  The so-called Megamind...err...Mastermind of Project 2025.  Yet another Catholic.  So Catholic he was in the fringe group Opus Dei, which I don't know about you; but it gives me total KINK vibes.  Like wasn't that the group the monk from The DaVinci Code was in?  
Good times!  (And they say Lefties are the freaks...)
The Kevster went to Virginny Tech which is about 45 minutes away from where I sit.  That school supposedly has a CURSE on it, if you believe in that type thing.  Here's a link for further reading:
​www.amazon.com/Many-Deaths-Virginia-Tech-Second/dp/1477404775
Now, I do not condone this theory, per se; but if Mr. Roberts is trying to inflict his personal politics and ideas of how the rest of us should live-- on the rest of us...I consider that a CURSE.  I do believe in bad ju-ju...and it would not surprise me if VT was knowingly built on Sacred Indian Ground or perhaps a black cemetery or two.  And I think it's also fair to point out that Mr. Roberts allegedly killed a neighbor's dog with a shovel and then bragged about it at a dinner party:
Picture
You really can't trust anyone who would be mean to a dog, let alone kill one (allegedly) in cold blood. A dog (GOD, spelled backwards) is pure love.  Unless they have been tortured into hate or have a disease; they represent TRUE UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.  Perhaps we should say dogs are Jesus?  Just remember...a lot of people don't like cats (and I get it); but anyone who doesn't like dogs...
In sum...
To Kevin Roberts and his ilk, I say...
If you want to impose a MANDATE on America...I propose this MANDATE!
And since those were super heavy on the Caucasian end(!)...how about these too?
And you bald mo-fos know you want to rub your silky, sweaty pates all up in that!  That's your problem.  Go ahead...spit shine those noggins!
Thank You For Your Consideration In This Matter.
