Orange mushroom sculpture, the President, and American Women [1]

This is an orange mushroom sculpture that I inherited from my mother. It’s made of igneous rock and stands about four inches high. Since the first term of our current President it has been always considered by me a reference to him. The reason for this is because of Stormy Daniels’ description and its orange color. Like other things that Stormy Daniels has done I’ve found it difficult to get out of my head. Not that I’m disparaging anything that Stormy Daniels has done. I think porn stars are doing their best to survive in a hostile environment and the current administration’s war against DEI is proof positive of its necessity. It was working. It was doing positive things therefore the administration is against it.

One of the remarkable features of this administration is its ability to reveal or cast in sharp relief the utter greatness of American women. It’s done this by having them oppose it. The trial that Stormy Daniels was involved in didn’t take place during the administration but I was pleasantly surprised by the courage and dignity that she showed throughout and she won my admiration because of it. Two other such women who come to mind are Elizabeth Warren and Jasmine Crockett. I’ve admired Elizabeth Warren since she first appeared in a Frontline episode about the credit card industry and that was a long time ago, but I never forgotten it. You’ll notice that all of these women are routinely disparaged by our current President in the most petty and schoolyard of ways.

I’m offering this photo to Daily Kos and anyone else who wants to use it as a surrogate for our current President’s photo which tends to induce nausea due to its subject matter and repetition. I absolve them from any liability for using it and they can add it to their photo library if they so choose.

The question may arise, why does the President want to look orange? The answer is probably that he doesn’t, he just doesn’t want to look like what he really looks like. Sometimes the makeup isn’t evenly applied. Sometimes some of it comes off. Sometimes you can see what’s underneath and underneath our President’s face is a pasty pink. And pasty pink is what he doesn’t want to look like, and so he paints himself orange. Like his full head of hair it’s all superficial and fake and that tells you all you need to know about the man himself.
