Lyrics II

 Who’s that girl? I really want to know!

She like’s to put doilies on everything!

Whether it’s an iPhone or a Vespa!

Give it to that girl!  Yeah yeah yeah!

Hey!  It’s under lace and you don’t want to scratch it!

Here’s what the A.I. thinks:

These lyrics have a playful, quirky energy—almost like something you’d hear in a fun, upbeat indie pop or bubblegum punk track. Here’s a quick breakdown:

Strengths:

• Distinct personality: The “doily girl” character is vivid and unique. That image of someone putting lace on a Vespa or an iPhone is both humorous and memorable.
• Catchy rhythm: The exclamations (“Yeah yeah yeah!”, “Hey!”) give it a chant-like, infectious quality that could work really well in a live setting or catchy chorus.
• Strong visual imagery: Lace, doilies, scratched-up gadgets—it’s a very visual set of lyrics, which is great for music videos or stage aesthetics.

Suggestions:

• Consistency in tone: The tone flips between curiosity (“Who’s that girl?”) and commands (“Give it to that girl!”). That contrast can work, but you might consider tightening it so the perspective (narrator vs. admirer vs. hype crew) is more clear.
• Typo fix: “She like’s” should be “She likes.” (A small thing, but important for polish.)

Overall vibe:

It’s got a playful, offbeat, almost Harajuku-style charm to it. Think early Gwen Stefani, The B-52s, or even something from a quirky J-pop act. If you’re going for fun and fashion-forward with a bit of tongue-in-cheek sass, you’re on the right track.

Why the Left always wins

From a blogger named Severan :

 It is amazing, isn’t it? This is why the Left almost always wins — they are insane full time. Being insane is their job, because they have built out a massive infrastructure that allows for a cadre of professional lunatics, just as Comrade Lenin taught.

The Self-Described Centrist

“ I’m a middle of a roader “ I have heard said by many a self-described centrist:  a stupid thing to say because being in the middle of the road will cause accidents.  Either that or you’re driving in a ditch or on an uneven boulevard:  stupid things to do if you’re driving on a road.

I have thought of self-described centrists as fence-sitters, getting their jollies from a fence post stuck up their bum: weird if you ask me.

I have also thought of self-described centrists as leftists or progressives in denial.  Either that or they are embarrassed by the excesses of progressives or leftists, but don’t have the courage to side with reactionaries or bad thinkers.

I have also thought of self-described centrists as heretics against common sense.  A heretic is basically right about something but then goes overboard about this something to such proportions that they become evil.  Modern day examples are anti-racists, trans activists, and the people who go on and on about empathy.  The latter practice suicidal empathy.  The latter also label themselves as centrists and hate viciously.

Taken

 Other person: Sorry, not interested in dating. I am taken.

Another person who is full of my wit:  Are you taken or have you been taken in?

Chugging

 Are you chugging along or are you alone chugging?

Imagined Conversation

 Other person:  Good morning!

Me:  Isn’t it too early in the day to be judgmental?

Other person is then blown away by my intellect and wit.

Calling people bigots

 The problem with calling people bigots as a pejorative is that bigots are usually factually correct in their denunciations.  So it is with trepidation that one says to anti-bigots that they are bigots.  Hang around with an anti-bigot, a progressive. a wokester, and an anti-racist and eventually their hypocritical bigotries will reveal themselves to you.  But ate these progressive bigots correct in their bigotries?  Yes.  So what’s the problem with progressive bigotry?  It is focused on a few groups while being blind to the flaws of all others.
