I open my page to Google and see today is LEAP DAY. February 29 instead of March First. Cuz this is a Leap Year and they had to stick us with an extra day. And where did they stick it? At the end of February. Why? Because February is the shortest month of the year. Best spot all around, they figured. Who are they?

They are this guy.

Julius Caesar.

Not Sulla. He was an earlier version.

I’m talking Caesar. The first Caesar. The one who started the ball rolling. A man of accomplishments. He wrote a great book all about himself and his victories on the battlefield. Then he marched on Rome and split the whole works between two other big shots (see first triumvirate). Then he disposed (Mafia Style) of his two partners and made himself the Sole Big Shot. He did a tour of Ancient Egypt. Cruised the Nile. Picked up a Big Shot Broad. During this tour he helped the Broad, a real charmer, Cleopatra was her name, dispose of her rivals–one being her husband who was also her kid brother. Finally, figuring he’d wrap up the package, and seal the deal, he brought all his enemies he hadn’t killed already back to Rome for a Big Shot Military Parade. What they called a Triumph. After the parade, he bumped off a few of these losers while excusing a few, including a Dude he liked, fella by the name Brutus. [A big mistake!!!!] Finally, he made himself Big-Cheese-In-Chief-For-Life. He had conquered a lot of the Roman Turf himself recently, so I guess he felt justified dispensing with representational government.

What else he do?

Oh, yeah. The Calendar.

He needed the Roman Calendar to line up with the sun.

That way, shit ran straight. I mean, come on. Celebrating the Harvest at Planting Time makes no sense. Big Shots like to make shit run smoothly. [See Mussolini making the trains run on time.]

Unfortunately, getting the calendar to line up with the Sun is one thing, but keeping it that way is another. The issue arises from the inconvenient fact that there aren’t a nice round number of days (Earth rotations) in a year (Earth orbits of the Sun).

BBC. com

There are in fact 365 and about a quarter days in a year.

So what Old Caesar did, he simply added a day every four years.

To line shit up with the sun!

That’s why we have this extra day every four years. (I’m not gonna talk about how the Gregorian Calendar resulted from more tweaking of the calendar. Click on the link if your interested.)

Why do I give a shit about Leap Day?

This is pretty much what Old Caesar looked like. The Romans were good at honest representation in their statuary. The heads are kind of like their idea of a photograph. If a Big Shot fell out of favor they’d pound on his face with a hammer. That’s why Archeologists have found so many statues with their noses missing.

So why do I give a shit about Leap Day?

I don’t celebrate holidays. Except I gotta sorta celebrate them on account of Joan likes holidays. If it was up to me I’d be like my sisters, the Jehovah’s Witnesses. They don’t celebrate holidays. They don’t acknowledge these Big Shots. I’m with them on that score…

The problem in the world today, as with yesterday, is simple. We somehow need Big Shots to solve our problems. To make the world operate efficiently. We give them power and they treat us like shit. They step on us. They treat us exactly the way we deserve, like sheep, too stupid to see we’re being used for our hair and ultimately our skins.

Thinking how stupid the crowd is would make me sick if I had a weaker stomach.

Nothing has changed

Big shots still run the show.

This Big Shot, for example:

Elon Musk…current darling of far right Republicans

This Big Shot is more disturbing, perhaps, than even Donald Trump. Why? Because he’s smarter and more cunning and much younger than the Dude trying his best to become president again. At the beginning of this post I mentioned Sulla. He was a brutal dictator who offered the roadmap for Julius Caesar’s dictatorship.

Elon suggested recently that we (that’s all us fellow Americans) may need another Sulla!

Read about his comments in UNHEARD.

These folks at Unheard are Conservatives sounding the alarm.

Conservatives!!!

It doesn’t matter what I say or what I think. The world will continue to revolve around certain people who decide they need to run the show and the rest of us will simply follow along.

Like Sheep.

That’s the way it works.

That’s the way it is.
