My birthday song, my happy world (Part 313)....

 Badass Birthday

On this date, in 1872, 154 years ago, in Vermont, Calvin Coolidge was born. 

Coolidge was president from 1923 to 1929.  He oversaw the economic boom built like a house of cards that led to the Great Depression.  He was a notoriously tactiturn man.  When a visitor said she bet a friend she could get him to say more than three words in the evening to her, he replied, "You lose." and didn't speak to her again that night.   He had a very 'hands off' approach to governemnt, unless it came to unions, when, as governor of Massachusetts, he broke a police strike.   He was famous for napping in the afternoon.  He said little and did little.   Not anything too noteworthy.   His wife Grace however was vivacious and outgoing and a trendsetter of fashion.  

So why is he here you ask?  Well, he's the only US President to be born on the 4th of July!   That's a badass birthday to have for the job he had.   Kinda like Santa's birthday being Dec 25th.

Indeed.  Obviously our "leaders" are little more than mental midgets.  But the fact that the American people gave them those positions of power, especially after seeing what a shitshow the first term was, only incriminates the rest of the country in the mind-numbing idoicy as well.

When The Maestro George Perez had passed, a bunch of artists got together ad did works that were put together into a tribute.   This is the contribution of Jerry Ordway, the master of Earth-2 art.  And it shows a batch of members from the Justice Society of America in the WWII era Golden Age.

Sprawled in front is The Atom

Standing: Wonder Woman, Hourman, Hawkman, Wildcat, The Flash, Green Lantern, Superman, Starman, Dr. Mid-Nite, the Star-Spangled Kid, and Dr. Fater

 Quintessial Quotes

It has been SO FREAKIN HOT these last three days that words fail to describe the triple digit temps and thick humidity.  So I saw someone online find some appropriate quotes from Tudor England (during Henry VIII's time): 

Yep....that describes the situation a little more accurately.

On this date, in 1883, in Prague was born Franz Kafka. 

I honestly only one of his works, Metamorphosis.   But I know there's been a lot more of works published.  And most of them have an isolated or lonely protagonist in bizarre or incomprehisble predictaments, much like in Metamorphosis. 

He passed in 1924 at the age of 40.  There is a word in English: Kafkaesque.  It "describes situations that are disorienting, surreal, or nightmarishly illogical, usually characterized by senseless, complex bureaucracy".   

Honestly, when one has a word named after him, well, he's GOT to be a badass!

It's almost painful to watch how stupidly uninformed MAGA is.  But so are their leaders.  Frankly, this case should have been decided 9-0.  FRANKLY, the case should have never even made it this far.

Allow me, please, to quite the Consitution of the United State Of America, from the 14th Amerndment, word for word. 

"All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside"

Now there's more after that, dealing with due process for citizens, etc.  But the purposes of this issue, this sentence is all that matters.  All persons BORN or naturalized IN THE UNTED STATES...

BOOM.  End of story.  If you are BORN in the United States, you are a United States citizen. 

Not knowing this, not being able to read it an undertand it easily, not only is an embarassment for the people who spout shit like this, but also and embarassment for every Republican Politican who has starved the education system of funds, or hanstrung the teachers in what they're supposed to teach.  

It truly is a huge black mark against our country.  One of many.

 Perez Apprecation Post

Today, by the Maestro George Perez of course, we have the cover of a Justice League Of America comic.  It shows Green Lantern, Wonder Woman, Firestorm, Flash and Superman battling the Tornado Tyrant and finding out his connection with their fellow member Red Tornado. 

But once again, check out Perez's mastery: the details with the rocks erupting around the Flash, the circling line of the Tornado Tyrant very much indicate how he's moving, the cloud cover, the different positioning of each of the heroes.  Just the work of a man at the height of his abilities.
