Hello, my friends!
If you’re reading these words, it means I have been tragically eliminated at the hands of the State. I believe it is imperative that the truth show up before the lies get too far down the road. To that end, earlier last year, I purchased a mobile security device through which this message will be blasted to the entire world in the event of my demise, if it is violent. The software is super slick. It triggers the immediate publishing of this letter if certain conditions are detected, e.g. the microchip in my head registers that it is rolling in the street, or I have suffered a blunt impact injury at a great speed. My metrics have been entered into the system and I am, notably, not speedy. Any sort of sudden acceleration of body parts will be correctly interpreted as violent in nature.
Cool, right? The subscription wasn’t cheap, but I was able to swing it thanks to the check from George Soros that I got for services rendered to the left-wing conspiracy.
The Department of Homeland Security and Kristi Noem have by now already fed a stream of sewage about me into the public sphere, so let’s set the record straight. Whatever you’ve heard so far was already canned and triggered within minutes of my violent erasure, or an hour or two if it happened during the weekend news cycle, and can be dismissed outright. Herewith some salient points:
I have never correctly been accused of being an agitator. More an agitatee, to be clear, and although that has led to many ejaculations (written and oral) of a crass nature, it is not true that any of them have had any effect on any thing at any time.
For instance, any statements attributed to me referring to someone in the public sphere being hanged upside down in the public square (say), or involving a guillotine or medieval rack, or even the sacrifice of a chicken, or its featherage, were meant to be purely aspirational in nature. For the record, I do not wish my enemies dead. I wish them, every thieving one of them, poor. Poor as hell, ragged, stinking, dumpster-dining, and only able to accumulate funds they earned doing good and/or honest work. Window-washing. Butt-wiping. Toilet-scrubbing.
I do not have a long history of licentiousness and vulgarity. Just the vulgarity. The licentiousness was pretty much limited to the ‘70s, and even I can’t remember them clearly. Pictures or it didn’t happen! There are pictures? Well then. Never mind.
I also do not have a long history of rousing rabble. I have been rabble, and have been roused, starting with my first march on Washington in 1968, but that was just, like, yesterday. Wasn’t it? I went with my dad, which makes it wholesome.
Speaking of, it is not true that I was raised by a famous Communist. My father’s membership in the Communist Party was brief, during his college years, during the Calvin Coolidge administration, when it was only sensible. Furthermore, my father was not at all famous.
It is not true that I threatened any officers of the Federal Government with my tiny loud face. It is true that my face is tiny, but not really all that loud. I may be hard to ignore in small social situations, but I rarely get up enough volume out in the wild to win a bingo game. Even if I could project, I do not like to wreck my throat, in case I ever decide to break into song.
I did not weaponize my Skechers. They are small and roundish. If any contact between them and a federal agent’s face did occur, it was an inadvertent result of my propensity for tipping over when suddenly tromped upon.
It is also not true that I had ties to a Central American terrorist organization. That is a fabrication based loosely on a sixteen-year relationship with my dog Boomer, who was half terrier and half Chihuahua. Making her a Mexican terrierist. In any case, she has long since gone to that Somali restaurant in the sky.
It is not true that I am an avowed anti-Fascist. Wait, that one is true.
In sum, I did not have this coming, no matter what you may have heard. I was cut down before my time. Not a lot before my time, at this point, but still. The point is, I wasn’t done yet. Let it be known.
Right in, sister and comrade-in-arms! You are not passed, just passing (as a humorist,) rousing is Patriot(ic,) or more properly, (ick) (not) rabble.
Thanks Ken! Now I feel uplifted and a little confused!
Unfortunately,I only found out that there was an ICE protest near me on Sunday when I read the paper on Monday and saw the pictures. I wish they would do a better job of broadcasting these events; I would have went.
Mostly we sign up for https://indivisible.org to get updates; put in your location. THERE WILL BE MORE! This diffuse response took some getting used to for those of us raised on enormous rallies, but it’s sort of ingenious. You can’t target ALL the little street demonstrations, and passersby get more of a sense that they can belong too–it’s not the scary old Antifas, it’s their neighbors.
Thanks, Murr! I’ll be sure to bookmark them. (It’s a pity that I NEED to, but these are the times we’re living in.)
Great satire! Glad to see by your replies to posts that you are still alive. Sadly, the scenario of government agents dispatching women in the street for protesting is a shameful reality. Be careful out there!
That was satire? I just ran out in the street to see if Murr’s head was presently rolling down it in my direction, towards the bluff and into the river.
NO!! NOT IN THE RIVER!!! I’M AFRAID OF DROWNING!!! Oh.
R.I.P. sister!
Hi all, I am reading (and commenting) on Murrmurrs over at Substack. It’s a great presentation and even has extra features (you can edit your comment after posting it, for example). It doesn’t have Murr’s leafy, ferny, mossy green background though, and I do miss that.
(I was going to trick you and say her beach photo is fully revealed there, but alas. Strategic finger placement.)
I love you. Yes, there are plusses and minuses, but Substack is altogether a better platform for me, not least because this one is glitchy–and one day I simply won’t be able to post here, and y’all will wonder where I went. Also? Audio content and much better photo presentation. Thanks, Susan.
I see you continue to exaggerate and at times lie about things…Do you support the orange child who lies with every word? (I understand that in one case, humor is the intent, while in the other case, blatant megalomania. Forgive my tone, and in reality, I don’t blame you.)
We find ourselves in tough and dangerous times and was hoping you could provide me with Mr. Soros’ hot line so I can arrange to enlist in Antifa and get one of those mobile security devices. Soros might even be able to plan another misinformation campaign, this time, giving proof to the right (wing) masked patriots so they will go to Greenland and arrest the criminals who have illegally snuck onto the island via criminal narwhales coyotes.
The entire concept of narwhal coyotes is delicious. I mean, someone has to smuggle them across mid-ocean rifts.
You have a wicked sense of humor my Friend and I snort chuckled thru this whole Post and can relate on many levels. Oh wait, there are pictures, well, then nevermind. *LMAOROTF*
