Exposing the Madness of Today's Culture

 What today's culture deserves more than anything else ... 

A poke in the eye!  

By James Terminiello 

When I heard that New York City seriously considered housing their ever-mounting consignment of illegals on cruise ships, I thought. Okay, let’s run with it. We’ve entered the realm of the absurd. And out spat my new satire: The Conscience of the C.O.D. Koehler Books. June 2024.

 

In the tale, the down-on-its-luck cruise ship Climax of Dreams (The C.O.D.) is condemned to house four thousand squabbling refugees from forty countries. Naturally, it gets hijacked. The now out of work ships’ PR director, Trip Torrent, decides to transform what has become a rampaging PC catastrophe into sweet lemonade by concocting a fantasy of a “Ship of Dreamers” sailing into a world of hope and glory. It is his audition to become a presidential “spokescritter” so he can “pass reality through the prism of expediency and spit out a dazzling, sparkling, spectrum of misdirection.”  

Nothing. Nothing goes as planned. In the story you’ll meet: 

Sonnie Chance Arain: The PC-emasculated comedian who has been reduced to telling jokes about Martians 

Rear Admiral Mchumba Shining Dove: Native American admiral of the “new” US Navy commanding the carrier Nancy Pelosi and her battle group the cruiser Oprah Winfrey and the destroyer Sarah Jessica Parker  

New York Mayor Josephus4: A transgender, paraplegic, reformed African Jew from Uruguay. 

Boogie: A 1940s-esque film noir robot bartender with the beginnings of a heart  

Mari Lynn Duckworth: Cruise director looking for love in all the wrong circuits 

Indian Jack and Screw Face:  Freelance cruise ship repairmen untouched by scruples 

Perdita:  A fast shooting Mexican revolutionary with unexpected fashion sense thanks to ... 

Hannah Gottlieb Myerson: Billionaire octogenarian with contacts in high finance and the garment trade 

And there’s more .... 

Aussy the cranky AI navigation system ... tech guru Xminus 1 ... a South American revolutionary named O’Higgins ... a pot smoking ship's captain from Jamaica ... a Ukrainian doctor with a Caribbean medical degree ... bikini-clad commandos ... a machine-gunned rapper ... killer drones ... a sham gay Hollywood marriage ... the faded rock queen The Divine Perpetua ... a vaginal steaming room ... and secret weapons destined for the junta in the Grand Republic of La Mierda! 

 

If you’ve had enough of today’s culture gone mad, I think you’ll get a kick out of

The Conscience of the C.O.D.

The October 7 attack was inevitable

  Why was  October 7 inevitable ?   One word: Extortion By James Terminiello     It’s difficult now but if you run a web search to find images of the Gaza Str i p before the current war , you w ould encounter a  place of wrenching poverty ; decay ; and , until recently , qui e t despair .     As an economic entity Gaza could not and did not operate without funds injected from many sources including the U.S., some Arab nations, and, yes, Israel. Naturally, as with all aid from afar, too much of it finds its way into the wrong pockets most of the time. As a place to live Gaza practically stewed in depression which easily and naturally turns into envy and fury - particularly when you see other nations prospering on your mobile device.     Isr ael’s forlorn hope was that if you lined the pockets of Hamas and other minor semi-political, semi-military, semi-religious organizations with extortion money they would slurp up th...

Kamala lost because of Hollywood

Hollywood Elected Donald Trump     By James Terminiello   On the surface, this notion is absurd.  In th e just-ended presidential election , Hollywood went needles over Botox for Kamala Harris. The likes of Barbra Streisand, Tom Hanks, and Cardis A and B were effusive in their limitless support . And yet, Hollywood was a major factor in the re-election of Donald Trump.   You see, Hollywood is all about image and casting. In bygone days , if a role called for say a middle-aged alcoholic, Hollywood could summon a bevy of experienced actor s to embody that character. And good drama ensue d . Now that system is in tatters. Today , DEI, Black Lives Matters, political correctness , and a general orneriness about type-casting has put black men in Roman general  garb, Asian women as turn of the century test pilots, and Jeff Goldblum as the Wizard of OZ!  All-in-all , unconvincing.   And this brings us to the unlamented Kamala Harris.   The ...

Elon Musk Asked to Tackle Goverment Inefficiency

Trump Taps Musk to Head a Government Efficiency Commission   By James Terminiello     Candidate Donald Trump has suggested th at, if elected, he would ask firebrand entrepreneur Elon Mu sk to head a “Gover n ment Efficiency Commission . ”   As laudable a goal as that might seem , the timing of Trump’s announcement is politically foolish .  There is not one bureaucrat, assistant to a bureaucrat, bedmate of a bureaucrat, or contractor to a bureaucrat who does not know that the federal government spends money like a fleet of drunken sailors, only with much less self-control.  Trump ’ s notion alienates a whole class of people (read voters) who know that their cashflow might be in jeopardy should Mu sk be unleashed.      And if Trump only lost a bit of his ear to a would-be assassin, there might not even be a Musk ian ear lobe left should h e incur the wrath of the bureaucracy.      In another time and place (the 19...
