Judge says no to Florida man’s “stand your ground” defense for killing an iguana
Stand your ground…against an iguana? ? While that seems entirety implausible as a defense, it worked for the asshole who shot unarmed black teenager, Trayvon Martin.
Every day I wake up someplace else, I’m thankful I don’t live in Florida.

Second Shot – Countdown to Immunity
Quarantine has been tough. I basically haven’t left the house for a year and a half. I’ve had a lot of time to think.
That’s not usually a good thing for me.
But I’ve also had a chance for reflection. Introspection is an art, and looking inward isn’t always easy to do. It’s necessary. Sure. But enough is e-fucking-nough.
I got my 2nd shot last week, and I am completely looking forward to freedom.
But it’s got me wondering…
What happens after you’re immune, and you get exposed to the Coronavirus? Say you breath in a big batch of spikey deathblobs. Do they stay inside you? Lurking. Waiting for your body to let your defenses down? Or does your body attack. Send out the hungry phagocytes and macrophages to gobble up all those yummy virus nuggets… or whatever.
I think it might be the last one. But don’t believe me. I’m a musician, not a damn Doctor.

Republicans: The party of fear and lies.
Once upon a time, the Republican party stood for small government, family values, low taxes and States’ rights. Not anymore.
As an independent, I’ve voted for Republicans because they were people of honor and character. These days, it’s hard to see any truth for all of the lies.
Trumpian Republicans aren’t real Republicans. They are just using the GOP, a party that had already lost its center thanks to right-to-life extremists and an obstructionist platform, to sully the American drinking trough with the foul and muddy water of propaganda and lies.
Instead of embracing new technologies and sustainable energy, they spread fear and lies. Green energy will cost jobs. Clean energy is too expensive. Whatever it takes to keep things how they are.
But, it turns out that everything they say is a lie. It turns out they’ve never embraced truth or science or morality. It turns out that none of that matters to them.
The only thing they live for is party loyalty, as the party desperately clings to power. Power vested in a minority of rich white male egomaniacs, who believe they are better than the rest of us. They talk about America, but not about the America of many cultures. They mean WHITE America.
The America most of us live in is NOT the America they pursue. In their America, the strong dominate the weak. It’s every wolf for himself. Mercy and compassion are a weakness to be overcome.
They say ‘If you’re poor, you’re a failure. Probably lazy.’ The wealthy love to blame people for their predicament.
It’s time to stop blaming, and start doing something about it. It’s amazing to me that we COULD fix so many of our problems, but our leaders CHOOSE NOT TO, and Republicans lead the way in the obstruction of every policy that benefits anyone except their rich, corporate overlords.
It’s pretty obvious that the Republican party needs to change in order to survive. They will probably continue down what looks like a path to their own destruction, but it’s important to note that the GOP could seize the opportunity, and do a LOT better. Maybe even become a force for positive change.
More likely, they’ll just keep changing for the worse. ~jg

The Filibuster Must Go
I can see why Democrats are nervous about killing the Filibuster. Why? Because it will be gone FOREVER. Permanently. No take backs. Both parties might have to actually have to start governing, instead of just blaming the other for everything. Don’t believe me? Hear me out.

Let’s say the Republicans come back to hold a majority in the Senate. I prefer that this never happens, of course. At least not THIS Republican party. Anyway, let’s say they do take back the Senate.
The LAST thing they would do is reinstate the Filibuster. Because if they DID, they would suddenly need 60 votes to pass anything instead of just 50. Why would they want to give the Democrats 10 votes? They wouldn’t.
Democrats should repeal the Filibuster immediately, and start governing. Expect the Republicans to do the same when they get a majority. Everybody needs to put on their big boy pants and learn to compromise.
Both parties need to start serving the people who elected them, not just the corporations and rich bastards who exploit the rest of us for their own gain. We’re tired of dying so the rich can get richer and have more power to fuck us in the ass with.
