Many stuffy politicians can pull many
into their stupefaction
pull many into their (paid-for-by-
the-fossil-fuel-industries)
raisons d’etre
(which include bona fide lies)
but as for a rogue like me,
well, the cheese in their trap
is made of distorted
(though expensive and smelly)
cardboard
Apolitical photo … Photo by Thomas Peace c. 2019

Remember how Donald Duck always was saying, “Ptooey!” It just occurred to me that “Politicians? Ptooey!” might be a fine phrase. What’s definitely fine is your iris. It’s beautiful.
Yes, “Politicians? Ptooey!”… sounds great to me! 🙂
Thanks about the Iris… don’t forget the apolitical spider. 🙂
Looks like a little jumping spider – cute! 😀
It is, Sci! Has some growing to do (as we all do)! 🙂
haha 🙂
The degree of stupefaction we’re all immersed in DOES get overly stuffy!
Great image.
It’s unbelievably sad, isn’t it, Jazz?! So many minds can be convinced of the beauty of indifference.
Marvellous shot!!
Thank you, Leyla! 🙂 I had to wait for the jumping spider to put her makeup on! 🙂
I walk a delicate balance here in Alberta.
I don’t know what it is like now in Canada; it sure is wacky-crazy here in the states.
Nicely put and nice photo too!
Thanks, Belinda! Today was pretty windless but i had too many other things to do than to go out taking photos, unfortunately.
So true Tom – the purple and yellow color combo accentuates your little spider.
Thanks, Linda!
Got a great shot of a huge Fishing Spider on our front steps the other night. When i post that, be prepared. It’s alien-like!
I hope your finger is better!
I saw that pic on social media of the big Fishing Spider the Indiana fisherman found in his boat a few years back and it was scary Tom. I will steel myself – better put out a warning or disclaimer for us scaredy-cats!
I think the finger is doing better – the nail is very numb but the swelling has gone down a lot and the bruises are not as dark. I go to the allergist this morning for my monthly allergy shots and going to show it to him or the PA –
whoever is there today. If nothing comes of this beside all the bruising and tenderness I will feel very lucky as I know more than one finger could have been injured and even crushed.
Good that the finger is better! I used to get allergy shots. I do not take them any longer. Get good quality MSM, like from Swansonvitamins.com, take three or four 1,000mg capsules separately each day, and it will make allergies disappear (and help with any arthritis that you may have). 🙂
You made me smile with this one 😁😁😁
I’m glad! 🙂
Be careful; there are a lot of traps out there!
yes pull many into the echo chamber of their view.
It’s so sad… (like what is happening in America).
