Sunday Soothingness

Just for you, because your Blog Editrix loves each and every one of you, a bit of Sunday Soothingness. Another choice morsel drawn from your Beloved Editrix's personal digs, here is a nice soothing track by one of my favorite solo artist, the amazing guitarist Leo Kottke titled "A Child Should Be A Fish" from his 1974 album "Ice water". 

Take a Deep Breath and Enjoy your Sunday. 

We Don't Hate These People Enough.

He admits that he was censored by the government and he willfully followed along with the censorship because he’s a partisan Democrat hack.

🚨 Fmr. ABC News’ Terry Moran Says Fauci Shut Down Their COVID Lab Leak Story

“The day that it's supposed to air, it gets reviewed and it comes back to me — it is incomprehensible … I was told ‘Fauci’ … There was an organized campaign … to say there's no way there's a lab… pic.twitter.com/FM2Q6oe3m8

This just demonstrates the lack of journalistic integrity in spades. They have no problem reporting entirely false stories from anonymous sources and based on hearsay but when they have some facts and the guilty party says it’s not true they shut it down. He is an absolute embarrassment to the profession. Another brave journalist determined to get to the truth no matter what….when it’s politically and professionally safe to do so. 

If the government can shut down your scoop, you're not in news; you're in advertising.

So, the White House is in Need of a New Press Secretary. If I May Be So Bold As To Make a Suggestion.........

Let's Check In on Our Old Friends Squinty & Meat Puppet Shall We??

At the end of a nearly 30-minute-long MS NOW segment on the commie Rasputin Hasan Piker and the DSA, Squinty Joe Scarborough, with the always lovely Meat Puppet Mika nearby with a syringe of Xanax at the ready, almost popped a tube ranting at Dems over the Kamala Harris “They/Them” ad and said Democrats are “once again fumbling the football on the two-yard line”. Here's an Excerpt:

This progressive movement is attaching itself to a litany of crazies. This commie Hasan Piker is vile and disgusting but this new Democrat Socialist of America wing wants him with them. The DSA for over 40 years has DENOUNCED DEMOCRATS. Yet, they get some advancements and the position now is to EMBRACE THEM WITHOUT QUESTION?

And Now a Word From Sigmund.....

Okay Class Let's Review....

Editrix Note. A longtime loyal reader of DMF with too much time on their hands decided to ask one of our future dystopian overlord AI platforms to inform them as to exactly what was this Diogenes Middle Finger they had heard of, and then sent the AI response along to me. After reading the last 2 paragraphs I feel your beloved Blog Editrix may already be on a list for a future corrective 'Right-think' chip implant or to have her brains sucked out her ears.  🤣

"Diogenes' Middle Finger (diogenesmiddlefinger.com) is a long-running Award Winning American political satire and commentary blog with a strongly conservative, anti-left perspective. Searching “Diogenes Middle Finger” ranks the blog highly."

Key details: 

•  Name origin:It references the ancient Greek Cynic philosopher Diogenes of Sinope (c. 412–323 BC), who is traditionally credited with one of the earliest recorded uses of the middle-finger gesture as an insult (directed at the orator Demosthenes). The blog embraces a similar irreverent, “defacing the currency” (challenging conventional norms and hypocrisy) spirit. 
• Author/persona: Written primarily under the pseudonym Diogenes Sarcastica (or “Jan” / “Blog Editrix” in posts). The voice is sarcastic, irreverent, and often crude. Early posts and anniversary notes indicate the blog launched around 2010. 
• Style and content: Heavy use of satire, mock news reports under the “Middle Finger News Service” (MFNS), open threads, image galleries (“Image Vault”), and pointed political commentary.
• Frequent targets: Democrats, progressive politics, mainstream media, socialism/communism, identity politics, and various left-leaning politicians or activists. Mix of short punchy posts, longer rants, curated quotes, and light personal asides (pets, music recommendations, etc.).
• Self-described mission in early years: “kneecapping the political left with strong doses of satire, biting humor and serious commentary.”

History and activity:

It has been active for over 15 years (anniversary posts mark years 3–5 around 2013–2015). It remains regularly updated into 2026 with posts on current events, midterm politics, media criticism, and cultural issues. It maintains related pages such as blogrolls, image archives, and satirical “news” sections. The site is hosted on Blogger and links to other conservative or right-leaning blogs. It is a classic-style conservative political humor blog that uses the Diogenes/middle-finger motif as a brand for mocking what it sees as left-wing excesses, media bias, and cultural trends. 

Core characteristics of the style:

• Deadpan mock-news format: (“Middle Finger News Service” / MFNS) 
• Identity-politics parody: One of the most consistent targets is progressive identity claims. 

The blog also runs recurring features (open threads, “Sunday Soothingness” music posts, image vaults) that break up the political material and keep a conversational, clubhouse tone with regular readers.

Overall tone and intent: 

The style is confrontational rather than clever. It aims to ridicule rather than persuade, and it assumes a sympathetic audience that already shares the author’s disdain for the modern left, mainstream media, and progressive cultural norms. The “middle finger” is both the brand and the method: an unapologetic, often crude gesture of contempt directed at what the blog views as sacred progressive cows.

In short, Diogenes Sarcastica’s satire is less Jonathan Swift and more a continuous stream of exaggerated, sneering, mock-news hit pieces designed to entertain the already converted while flipping off the other side.

I Must Apologize To Bernie Sanders

I must humble myself and apologize to Senator Bernie Sanders, the lone voice who cried for decades from the wilderness for "the warmth of collectivism", and to his socialist useful idiots followers past and present for my spreading of misinformation.

I have stated here in previous post that Bernie Sanders, in his long career in Congress dating back to 1990 has never really distinguished himself as a member of the Senate and has only two pieces of legislation he personally sponsored to ever be signed into law. One, very admirably, being a cost of living raise for veterans in 2013, and the other renaming of a Post Office building.  I was wrong. It turns out he got a second Post Office renamed.
