“Cuckold” is far from a modern insult. In the 1640s they yelled it at each other across the battlefield, emblazoning it on their battle standards. Cary’s own troop’s cornet was red with a creature in a barrel and the motto ‘come out you cuckold‘ referred to the Earl of Essex’s notorious marital problems. The major's cornet simply bore the motto 'cuckolds we come'.
This whole flag thing reminds me of a bit done by Eddie Izzard.

Farmer Isabel Milligan drives a tractor as she weeds and transplants crops on a farm in Amagansett, New York. Women and non-binary people are among a growing cadre of new farmers in their 20s and 30s who are changing the face of organic agriculture, running some of the best-known organic farms.
This was how Tehran National University students looked like in Iran before the revolution of ‘79. Religious fundamentalism oppresses everyone...all the time, every single time.
Wash your hands the right way people. Using caution and common sense, avoiding large crowds, avoiding small spaces with sick people, good hand hygiene and not rubbing eyes, wiping mouth or touching the face until *after* having properly washed hands will do more to protect people from this than just about anything else.
I think cuckolds should have a flag. They deserve one for being so unselfish.
ReplyDeleteThe Cruz thing is just another example of what's really f'd up with this country. Keep up the feisty journalistic attitude you have!

Thank you. For mentioning the above observation, and for supporting my little efforts. :)
DeleteMs. Vanessa,
ReplyDeleteI never knew we had a flag! Yeah!! I wouldn't have designed it that way but it's a start.

Oh? Do tell...what would your design be? :
DeleteMs. Vanessa,
DeleteIt's a thrill, but also a challenge, to be put on the spot like that! I will think about coming up with something :)

So really, this level of inadequacy and resultant disappointment for her...is sort of like your sexual "prowess"? :)
DeleteHello miss Chaland,
ReplyDeleteah, there's the problem.
The US seem obsessed with the idea that Socialism is a bad thing.
The idea that the strongest shoulders bear the toughest burdens is, however, basically, stupid simple correct.
Socialism is conveniently mixed up with Communism, one of the worst systems humanity to come up with.
Anyway, Socialism is the fundation, a good starting point.
Kind regards,

See Marco, many in the USA don't seem to know there are multiple versions of "socialism". They *could* know this, but that would mean they'd have to...read, and no way in hell they're going to do that. Its easier for them to watch cartoon news (also known as Fox News) and repeat fear mongering rhetoric, rather then learn something and postulate the occasional fact. In short, many of my fellow countrymen are...fucking idiots. :)
DeleteHello miss Chaland,
DeleteI can't disagree with you, not on this one.
And than thinking that the solution lies within voting for an orange clown.
The horror, the horror....
Marco (from Lindsay)
Nothing lies within the Giant Orange Clown beyond...nothing actually. He's a moron. :)
