To Blog or not to Blog

Yea, even though I have been lame, and haven't posted for many moons this blog shall rise again! For the world has not yet ceased to produce phenomenon that puzzle and/or delight your queen. One such item might be Mitt Romney's obedience to My Royal Pleasure by withdrawing from the primaries. Your Queen Generalissimo would like to announce a promise kept to her loyal Militiamen, new snazzy black berets are on order for new recruits. The Beers and Spears await the bugle call! As ever yer Generalissimo suggests that veteran Militiamen dig their previously issued berets out from the back of the sock drawer a week or so before the Bealtane Muster. Anybody got a snare drum? Would be real nice if we had a snare drum (preferably with volunteer drummer). I have come up with another potential training activity for the Muster, namely juried formal Melon cutting. Participants will be judged on form, grace, originality and the degree of hazard offered to performers and bystanders. On another note, It would be fun to have some vigorous paintball actions this year, I'd like to throw another Scheutzenfest as well. We'll have to work out scheduling so we don't conflict with other events. All Hail Asphodel!

Dear Editor,

Recent revelations regarding domestic spying by the Bush administration are frightening to many citizens but shouldn’t be surprising to critical observers of Neoconservative policies. After all this is the bunch who trumped up a war in order to enrich their corporate buddies Halliburton et Al. While Dubya rails about the necessity for obtaining wiretaps in order to prevent “another 911” anybody who watches the news will certainly notice that it’s peace activists, environmentalist and animal rights groups that are the folks we hear about being wire tapped. Plainly Dubya is using 911 as an excuse once more to target his political enemies, which is rather Stalinist of him. His cohorts certainly haven’t arrested even one genuine domestic terrorist even though there are some really scary folks out there in the hinterland- The Brotherhood (white supremacists busily getting ready for RAHOWA) for one example. However Dubya’s minions don’t seem to be interested in chasing those guys. On the other hand if you don’t like his war or the notion of bankrupting the government to enrich the wealthiest 1% of Americans and destitute the middle class, you may be fair game. It is likely that this letter will fatten the file that certainly exists regarding my own political activities but if I feared that, I never would have written any previous letters to this newspaper. I truly love freedom and my country and if we don’t act to preserve these things they will be stolen from us.

Sincerely,

How much is that in dog years?

Hail good citizens and welcome to 2006 (year of the Dog). As 2005 inhaled so pungently no doubt the majority concurs in wishing it good riddance. The Queens birthday party was held on the 23rd of December and the delicious fresh brewed Dogbolter ale was enjoyed by all attendee's. Dogbolter is now but a pleasant memory yet dispair not! for a happy new beer is brewing even as we electronicly commune today. Your Queen's Raspberry Barley Wine now graces the carboy and in mere weeks will bless our tongues. Your puissant Queen has resolved to brew large quantities of ale this solar cycle so you can count on somethin' good at Militia muster come Walpurgisnacht. Militia folk may also rejoice that new regalia has been aquired, hats! Snazzy Swiss surplus berets that are certain to raise that feeling of espirit de corpes! So be careful out there my beloved subjects, I wouldn't want to miss any of you come Bealtane!
Yer Devoted Majesty,
Bella Kaldera Regina Asphodel

Ranting futures are up!

Seldom has your Queen been blessed with more to rant about!I truely am fortunate amongst trannygirl queens to live in such times... I am remembering the words of the immortal Ambrose Bierce (I think that was how his name was spelled anyway) He said AlllI ever wished for was that my enemies might appear ridiculous... and lo it was granted. From "the Duke" tearfully confessing on national media, the "Hammer" nailed and Scooter scat to the meaningles repititions of "victory" from the demander in chief it truely seems that the glorious facade of the Neocon junta may be beginning to crumble at last. Huzza!
Your Queen wishes to report that her latest pet yeast project, Four plus gallons of "Dogbolter Ale" is doing fine and promises to become a most auspicious brew. Anticipated time to Bottling is another week and a half with hopeful drinkability by New Years.
Wishing to make something of that hunting licence so much lucre was invested in and with earnest prayers to Hern, Your queen has been venturing into the wood in search of antlered playmates interested in achieving a wonderful transformation (into fresh venison) . Hern has not willed it yet that I encounter one of His children in His wood (in season that is) although I am getting closer as I found deer poo this morning when I was out with my blessed 12 gage pump. It shall be as the divine wills whether we taste deermeat this year, It is always worth it to go out into the woods even if one never discharges their weapon at game, just being out there is good to me. One of my loyal subjects has indeed offered to look for roadkill, but after talking with my recycling center Ernie (who also works for the highway department) I'm not so eager to sample meat aquired in such a means.
Your queen hopes to grant her dear readers the boon of her published rants from local newspapers soon, as soon as that tuit cylindrical thingie gets put together, Hail to the kingdom of Asphodel and to the good folk thereof then... Hail and Toodloo (yer queen- Bella)

A new trail of tears, a new rant from your Queen

I recently heard on the radio that the San Bushmen of the Kalahari are being driven from their most ancient home, which had been declared a "wildlife preserve". Fewer than 2 dozen are said to remain in the Kalihari. The government of Botswana claims that they are evicting the San people so that they can be provided with schools and medical clinics but other sources suggest that this is but an excuse for pillaging the mineral resources of the Kalahari. Once again a hunter gather culture is deemed "inconvenient" and shoved aside so that wealthier and greedier people can garner the resources once protected by the poisoned arrows of the bushpeople. The Botswana government claims to be wiser than the San, but who could know the desert better than those who have dwelt there for 20,000 years or more. The government of Botswana hasn't existed for one century yet they have the hubris to destroy the homeland and culture of the oldest people on earth. I am reminded of the plight of the Guichen who live on caribou in the Arctic National Wildlife reserve. American Senators and other conservative party aparatchiks would despoil the home of the Guichens for treasure beneath the permafrost just as Botswana is evicting the San for hypothetical diamonds in the sands. But the Kalahari belongs to the San just as the ANWR belongs to the Guichen, the bones of their ancestors hallow the ground. Despite the self rightious procamations of corporate pharisees, it is still wrong to dispossess a people and destroy their way of life, even if technocrats think they need the money. It's called Genocide, and there will be Hel to pay...

Queen's Blog Veterans Day C.E. 2005

I ran up Old Glory today With black streamers to honor and mourn the 2000+ brave soldiers lost in this cruel and stupid war. The Queen is however comforted by the increasing frequency of the incompetant minions of the occupying Junta falling afoul of their own greed and stupidity. This too then shall pass.
The Queen extends complements to the good efforts of the Kings footman M. Tenpenny both for the creation of this blog and for his excellent research efforts in assisting her in her desire to cuss out her chainsaw in it's native Nordic toungue.
In order to properly threaten the chainsaw one might declare.. "Dumma Svenska hora, starta innan jag skickar tillbaka dig till socialdemocraternas hemvist." Which is to say "Stupid Swedish whore start or I'll send you back to where Social Democrats live!" This will of course perhaps be tested the next time We go out for active chainsaw play. Till the next posting.. Bella Regina Asphodel

I have seen it now, the terrible things that will come to pass...

There will be a terrible war as I have said before, where wicked and greedy imperialists will send thousands of innocents to their dooms. Powerful men possessed by greed and ambition will cause the sons and daughters of poor folk to march against each other and die to feed their lusts for power and wealth. But worse than this is the harm that will be done to our Mother the Earth by the wounds and scars of technological war. In a time when men and women should be striving to mend the hurts dear Terra has already suffered the resources that might make the difference will be instead expended to enrich the already wealthy and further harm the planet. But the Goddess watches and abides.

Those who would batten from the spoils of hypocrisy will earn a just karma from their infamy and the poor will inherit the earth. The sea shall rise, build not on the strand therefore and store up tools for rebuilding anew. Learn ways of living that lie gentle on the land and teach stewardship to your children that honest ways will perpetuate themselves. Build community and interdependence with those whose values you share, for trials will come for us all and we must stand together then.

If we can be there for each other, we can endure the coming darkness, If we are strong, patient and resourceful we will see the dawn of a new age together. The realm is the hearts of the people, My heart is with you all.
