seriatim

         in context(despite many people desperate to feed you lines without any context whatsoever  soundbites  to fill your ears stuff your mind with unsubstantiated horseshit and then vulgarly dismiss you when you press the pointpress that omission of facts omission of context is lying – he beat his girls senseless with that accusation as they grew up  they quit cherrypicking their truths and just spewed it  saved everyone considerable time and got to the crux of the argument or disagreement – if you can do that with adolescents teenagers  why not adults . .AH  ADOLTS   . . .  say no more)        

seriatin in context: I will take up the judge’s (Mr. Stephen A. Douglas) interrogatories as I find them printed in the Chicago Times, and answer them seriatim.  Abraham Lincoln

It would have to be Latinwouldnt it

things would have been so much easier for him if he had taken Latin in school although the only place in the city that it was offered was Notre Dame Catholic High School and fuck if he was going to submit himself to the Kneel Stand Up Sit Down Fight Team Fight indoctrination of the Church and the Holy See  Saw  Aint playing on that playground

seriatim

         seria-  hed guess seria-l    guess one line after the other

“taking one subject after another in regular order; point by point (page 1547 of The New Oxford American Dictionary)”(he had to physically put the dictionary down on the floor or else hed start reading it)(books  possibly the banepossibly the passion of his life)

Lincoln had to defend himself from earlier Douglas inferences that Lincoln had refused to answer his interrogatories

just like a politicianhuh

                    ascribe things to taint an opponent  disinformation  propaganda  the fine surgical tools of politics

then knucklehead bravado  We dont compromise

STAHL: But governing means compromise.

BOEHNER: It means working together.

STAHL: It also means compromising.

BOEHNER: It means finding common ground.

STAHL: Okay, is that compromising?

BOEHNER: I made it clear I am not going to compromise on my principles, nor am I going to compromise the will of the American people.

STAHL: What are you saying? You’re saying, “I want common ground, but I’m not going to compromise.” I don’t understand that. I really don’t.

BOEHNER: When you say the word “compromise,” a lot of Americans look up and go, “Uh oh, they’re gonna sell me out.” And so finding common ground, I think, makes more sense.

Why won’t you say you’re afraid of the word, STAHL asked

I reject the word, BOEHNER said

The Speaker of the House rejected compromise

and then the knucklehead doubling down as if dey big strong menpound der hairy chests like ape

he wanted to pound their heads into a wall then follow the mess to the ground and pound it on the pavement where common real-life people walked  not those who insist they play one in Washington  in the House  the Senate

Christ  Lawmakers    Newsmakers

Horseshit horse apples  Elbowing out anyone along the way like the Church if they DARE question their authority

Im elected  Are you

Im not elected  However Im also not in someones pocket paid to do their bidding whether it aligns or not with our country or for the good of the people  I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

sigh Ill correct you  One Nation under God

And under God was placed in 1954 by the insistencethe urging of President Eisenhower  Itd been around since 1892written by a Baptist minister Francis Bellamyyou wouldnt think hed forget Godhuh for the Youths Companion an American childrens magazine  Formally adopted by Congress in 1945  Under God is an American fallacy  Gods a white mans fantasy and he ran with it

Youre a white man

I am  I dont believe in God   Im for context

Dont contextualise 

Youre a liar

“The President has little understanding of context”: https://www.newyorker.com/news/news-desk/why-is-donald-trump-still-so-horribly-witless-about-the-world?mbid=nl_170805_Daily&CNDID=48665723&spMailingID=11630713&spUserID=MTc5MTUxNTcwMDc0S0&spJobID=1220400046&spReportId=MTIyMDQwMDA0NgS2

 

Colony Hall had fallen weary and into neglect  disrepair

he arrived in the rural California town from Minnesota 

he heard tell that during the 60s ranchers kids rode their horses to high school and left them to pasture in what was then known as Stadium Park  an unfulfilled plan which lay fallow for more years than the School District cared to remember  although later saw fruition  a football stadium and track was erected  tall seating rose on either side of the field  taller lighting structures for Friday Night games above them  there were bright concession stands  concrete block restrooms  it was tailored to encourage rivalries

he counted himself very fortunate  he enjoyed good luck to be able to attend a few select functions dinners at Colony Hall before it descended into its impeding death throes  

he witnessed its collection of framed black-and-white photographs chronicling local dignitaries and well-known visitors and easily imaginedcobbled together an abiding respect for its now-fading dignity  one had only to experience it he believed(he gave people more credit than they were due) experience its warm-rubbed wear the stoic dining tables and chairs broad countertops elegant cabinets tin-tiled ceiling and the fine handsome redwood bar its wellmade stools to recognise the towns valuable history    

whoever owned or managed the property then tried to defray costs

they shut the eatery down 

                     however the annex was the heart of the Hall and within a few months the motel was shuttered its doors chained and padlocked  the property and buildings sulked behind cheap For Sale signage for one realty after another realty after another

a few years ago Best Western Corp acquired it and after modest renovations the motel was reopened as Best Western Plus Colony Inn 

to their credithis undying respect they retained the old marque along the roadside which boasted the defunct Colony Hall

someone was assigned to interactoutreach to the community and Public  they were to change its lettersbroadcast succinct messages 

its only rival frankly was owned by the Christian Science – First Church Reading Room better than a mile south on the same thoroughfare  the Churchs messages however were stodgy  for example

COME ONTO ME ALL YE

THAT LABOR AND ARE HEAVY LADEN

AND I WILL GIVE YOU REST

it was too wordy to be read from a moving car  and YE    really

also off of Curbaril the next intersection down from the Reading Room it should be noted that across the street from where Sinoloa intersects it was a house whose owner stood up a traffic horse flanked by blackboards on the roads dirt shoulder  on it he or she hand-scrawled chalks messages  they too bore religious context  contained no Ye’s  but more of a fundamentalist nature(it was everything he could do to respect the messages and not stop to erase and correct its misspellings)    

these admitted  at first most of the Colony Hall marques messages whiffed like a spastic at the plate before a competent pitcher 

they were brief  readable  but hardly contained any worthwhile messages

then some person appeared who was inspired and despite that he was afoot reading the marque sign he troubled himself stopped and jotted its message down on scrap paper leaned against an old peeling white fence which bordered a seeming no-mans land between properties  the fine old oleander tree behind it must have owned it

THINGS SHOULD BE

AS SIMPLE AS POSSIBLE

BUT NOT SIMPLER

HE WHO HAS

A WHY TO LIVE

CAN BEAR ANY HOW

whoever this cat was  if they stay away from YE the Lord HEAVY LADENif they kept it up  theyd do alright 

maybe put Best Western Plus Colony Inn on the proverbial map  a necessary curio to be seen   

whoever they were they were finally off to a good start(for whatever his two cents were worth)
