With the world anxiously awaiting the Trump Harris televised debate tonight and girding their loins knowing there will be a heaping pile of unseemly trash talk, finger pointing and general negativity exchanged there is also this trashy news (see below) Somebody really needs to sweep, burn sage and disinfect that room (Presidential debate den of lies) afterwards.
What we say and what we do matters because it either contributes to a better world or it leaves more and more human “debris” and dangerous misinformation for others to have to clean up, clear up, or get off the bottom of their shoe. Do I, CaptCliff, the aging seasick prone pirate need to say what most people are thinking? Down with the scallawags and their filthy lies while your at it pick up your stinking cigarette butts and those little plastic thingamabobs the dentist gives you to floss your teeth and gums but end up in a Safeway parking lot or floating to Timbuktu on a high tide.
From now on, let’s not just think of trash, debris, human lies and baseless conspiracy theories from the perspective of the hard to grasp “butterfly effect” but instead the easy to imagine Cheeto effect. Apparently one little bag of Cheetos dropped on the ground can change an entire fragile ecosystem …and most likely not for the better. I love cheetos but c’mon we can do better about littering, recycling and taking out the trash. Maybe worry a little bit less about an unproven Covid lab leak in Wuhan and more about the exponentially growing floating continent of plastic crap (Great Pacific Garbage Patch) forming in the Pacific Ocean. We may be a highly intelligent species on paper but we’re also kinda gross as far as trash disposal, littering, chemical pollutants and “leave no trace” thinking. Civilized people dont actually poop on the poop deck. They know better. But some picaroons and bilge rat politicians lie like a rug…shamelessly and with no regard for human decency or the actual truth. Maybe thats why a certain circus performer and former president is known informally as the puffed up Orange Cheeto Man.
