The Minatory Message of Multiplying Mediocrity

Minatory is a lovely word but Americans are not so good with any word which contains Tory.

Ed:  so why did they support Clinton?

If you're looking for an answer beyond many are short-sighted, selfish, and stupid, you're going to be disappointed.


When Americans say minatory, in the rare event they say it at all, it will likely sound like min-a-torrrr-eee.  It will sound much like someone with a reading disability.

However, when Brits say the word, it typically sounds like min-a-tree.  It's curt but it gets it done.

Ed:  so they don't like the 'tory' sound either?

Nope but they elected Theresa May so see above about being short-sighted, selfish, and stupid.  America does not have a monopoly on that.

France is just about to do the same thing as they elect Marine Le Pen so she can destroy the EU and reduce Europe in no time at all to medieval warring states as it has been through centuries of its history.  It will be glorious.


We're constantly blasted with minatory messages via MSM where there are more threats of disaster per square inch than the average Marvel comic book.

There was one, Dr Doom, who was trumpeting the disaster of Donald Trump because he's going to cause a stock market crash.  However, George Bush caused one in 2008 through his negligence and Republicans call him a hero so there's further proof Republicans are just toying with you.  (Ithaka:  Dr Doom Says We're Completely Fucked Because of Trump)

Right now, the California home flippers are building real estate prices up in yet another paper rich bitch pyramid and hopefully they will get crushed by it when their little pyramid topples.  They dress nicely, tho.


When you're twenty, the words will stick but after sixty they don't so I need to use them repeatedly or they fly away faster than a Presidential promise and not just from Trump but any President.  In the view of the Rockhouse, there hasn't been a President fit for more than washing cars since Dwight Eisenhower and the last one before that was FDR.  They're extremely rare.

Lately we have been in the Era of Presidential Riff Raff when the standards have dropped so low it doesn't really seem to matter if there's any kind of qualification.  As my ol' Dad once said, "Americans don't particularly care about issues; they just want to be on the side that's winning."

I've been observing that through my life and he had it dead square.  I've got the same lament as anyone as I sure wish I had talked to him more and had not been such a resentful, rebellious fuckwad.  He wasn't the source of the problem but rather one of the few who had insights of any value toward dealing with it.

Yah, of course you miss your ol' Dad too but I didn't know him, see.  I only knew this one and he said some damn cool things.

Ed:  you fucked-up

I did

Ed:  are you going to get suicidal?

Nope or not any more than anyone else when just about everyone makes the same stupid mistake.

Ed:  he was sooo minatory, tho

Yep, he was that.  He could be one minatory mofo, my ol' Dad.

Ed:  and you still miss 'im?

Of course I fuckin' miss 'im.
