Here’s a little video that is a progress report on how my zine project Covfefe Magazine is going.

Here I continue to talk about the state of Covfefe Magazine. Things continue to go fairly well. They could be better, but I guess they’re as well as to be expected given the circumstances.

Some thoughts on the progress of the zine I’m working on.

I am working on a little print zine for the Richmond, Va. area. It will come out in October. I’m having a lot of fun working on it so far. It’s circulation will be microscopic at first.

‘Don’t Bet Against The Mooch’ — Lyrics To A Rock Song

While I trying to not write song lyrics anymore because it’s pointless, I still enjoy doing it and the Trump Administration keeps generating song titles. So, you get this. This would be a really rocking pop-rock song.

Don’t Bet Against The Mooch
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

he’s the man who’s in charge
now that Spicy’s headed for the door
the world’s in flames but you know the score

don’t bet against him
now matter what you do
if you do you’re a fool
if you do you’re a fool
if you do you’re a fool

all I can tel you now
is watch and see
he’s going to break free
cause no matter what you do

don’t bet against the mooch
don’t bet against the mooch
don’t bet against the mooch

he’s the guy you call in
when you have shame and your wang’s small
because you have the gaul
to challenge it all

you say bitch all you like
we know who’s going to win any fight
the mooch is your guy in any battle
’cause he can ride any cattle

don’t bet against the mooch
don’t bet against the mooch
don’t bet against the mooch

[bridge]
the mooch is loose
the mooch is loose
he’s going to break it down
’cause you’re all clowns

the mooch has got the ear
of the president my dear
so in the end
no matter what you do

don’t bet against the mooch
don’t bet against the mooch
don’t bet against the mooch

Working On A Print Zine For #RVA

By Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls

I love zines. I love to write and a I love to take pictures — and I can layout a print publication fairly well — so it seems I have all the ingredients needed to pull off a zine that is decent. It isn’t going to happen anytime soon — probably will be a few months from now at best — but I think the finished product will be pretty cool.

I just need to be patient.

It will be interesting to see how everything does — or doesn’t — fall into place.

I went to NYC recently. Here’s my report.

We Have To Take Trump’s CNN GIF Tweet Seriously

by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls

I am hearing some people say that Trump’s faux GIF of him beating up the CNN logo in a WWE match is something silly that we shouldn’t take seriously. I totally disagree. The point is that he’s the President of the United States and he’s signaling to his mouth breathing supporters that he not-so-tacitly advocates violence towards the press.

It is probably only a matter of time before something tragic happens to a news organization because of Trump’s anti-press Tweeting. Something really tragic and memorable may happen that we will all — including even Trump, maybe — may regret. I feel as though we’re hurdling towards something that in hindsight will seem very obvious.

We have to take this tweeting by the president seriously. There have to be, at last, consquences. Someone, somewhere, needs to stand up to the president in a meaningful manner. We are slip-sliding towards a classic fascist situation that may be difficult to snap out of.

Remember, the fascists of the 1930s did not start off by being the evil, sinister people that we think of them as now. They started off as a joke. They were comical and entertaining to the masses. It wasn’t until later that things grew dark. So, we need to collectively stand up NOW, while we still can.

This is something of a joke now, but it won’t be a joke when real lives are in danger — or worse.

Talk To Me Internet: Daydreaming About Living In #NYC

By Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls

This is a really long, really good edition of Talk To Me Internet. This is probably the longest one I’ve ever done. I talk a lot about wanting to live in NYC in this one. I think it’s worth watching most, if not all of. The wide-range of topics I cover are pretty interesting, at least to me.

‘Modern Day Presidential’ — Lyrics To A Woke BritPop Rock Song

So, Donald Trump is going on a Twitter rant today and he keeps spewing out song titles like crazy. No one ever reads any of these lyrics and if they do the don’t care. So, I’m just yelling out into the void because I’m upset over what a insane moron we have as a president right now. The music I’m thinking for this would be something like Pulp’s Common People.

Modern Day Presidential
lyrics by Shelton Bumgarner
@bumgarls
please give credit if you produce or perform

it’s the second decade of the new cent’ury
we’ve got a reality TV president I’m afraid
what are we gong to do with his madness
it causes me great sadness when he tweets
tweets about stupid shit in fits of rage
he declares Mika was bleeding for her face
he makes me want to roll my eyes
but he says it’s

[chorus]
he says it’s modern day presidential
no need to have a press secretary
he’s modern day presidential, modern day presidential
there’s nothing more for us to say
but that we wish he’d be impeached
to end his version of modern day presidential

we got Trump with Russian help
the tweets come and come all day long
make us all wish Trump would leave us alone
maybe move to Moscow for a new home
he won’t leave, though we’re stuck
with a president as mad as can be
that’s my fear, you see

[chorus]
he says it’s modern day presidential
no need to have a press secretary
he’s modern day presidential, modern day presidential
there’s nothing more for us to say
but that we wish he’d be impeached
to end his version of modern day presidential

[bridge]
we’re all going to have to deal with this
Trump’s the president I’m afraid
for the next few years
he could push the little red button
get us a nuke instead of a coke
by mistake, mistake, mistake

now nothing will happen anytime soon
but we would be remiss if we didn’t hiss
that Trump’s not modern day presidential at all
he’s just a reality TV star
with failing ratings
that is all
that is all
that is all
